Abstract Aim: To explore the value of soft skills in nursing practice.Background: While hard skills refer to the technical ability and the factual knowledge needed to do a job, soft skills allow you to more effectively use your technical abilities and knowledge pleasingly. These two skills are complementary but soft skills are a prerequisite in every profession where human interaction and teamwork are needed to succeed. This integrative review examined the literature on soft skills within the nursing domain and made suggestions.Methods: An integrative literature review was carried using four electronic databases. These databases were Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Medline on EBSCOhost and Google Scholar using keywords: soft skills, non-technical skills, nursing skills, nursing art and aesthetics. No dates were considered during the search of the literature. Full texts of relevant studies were retrieved after screening the titles and abstracts. Critical appraisal was undertaken, and the findings of the relevant studies were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Seventeen studies were included, and the findings suggest an urgent need for softs skills in the nursing domain. Five themes: denotation of soft skills in nursing; benefits of soft skills in nursing; need for soft skills in nursing; inculcating soft skills into nursing practice; and links between hard and soft skills emerged. Also, the findings show that soft skills are the cognitive and social capabilities that complete the technical skills of the nurse in the health care industry.Conclusions: Soft skills have become the oxygen needed to resuscitate the seemingly dying nursing care quality. Regulatory bodies should see the call to incorporate soft skills into the nursing curriculum as an urgent resuscitative call that needs attention.

<p>Providing health care for criminals is very complex, stressful, and challenging for the general hospital nurses who are usually not habituated to treat them. The nurses are required to keep their caring and professional work. Providing health care for criminals puts the nurses into a risky working environment. They are susceptible to physical and psychological aggressions that can influence their practices and their applied nursing care quality. The objective of this research is to explore the general hospital nurses' experience in providing health care for the criminals. This is qualitative method research with a phenomenological approach. The data collection was done by a deep interview for 10 nurses. The applied data analysis is the Interpretative Analysis Phenomenology (IPA). The six themes found in the research are: 1) feeling discomfort in working, 2) experiencing emotional conflict, 3) working in an unsafe environment, 4) having difficulties in creating a therapeutic relationship, 5) unnatural caring emergence, and 6) not wanting the police officers to get involved in treating the patients. The security and emotional feeling factors of the nurses become the greatest challenges. They make the nurses difficult to create a therapeutic relationship and lead to unnatural caring committed by the nurses. Therefore, it is important for the nurses to internalize and reflect sincere caring as the essential principles in the nursing profession. Thus, it can reach the objectives of nursing, service equality, and patient recovery.<br /><br /></p>
