Emotional intelligence as a mediator between spiritual care-giving competency and core competencies in Chinese nursing interns: a cross-sectional study.

The development of nursing interns' fundamental competencies should be a top focus because they represent an essential reserve for nursing professionals. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between spiritual care-giving competency (SCG) and nursing core competencies (NCC) among Chinese nursing interns,adopting a competency-based education (CBE) perspective, additionally, the study aims to examine how emotional intelligence (EI) serves as a mediator in thisrelationship. A nationwide online survey was completed by 1811 Chinese nursing interns at vocational colleges between June and July 2022 as part of a multi-site, cross-sectional, web-based study. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and competencies inventory for the registered nurse questionnaire (CIRN), the Chinese version of the spiritual care-giving scale questionnaire (C-SCGS), and the Chinese version of the Wong and Law EI scale questionnaire (WLEIS-C). Means, standard deviations, t-tests, one-way ANOVA analysis, and Pearson's production correlation coefficients were calculated using IBM SPSS25.0 software. Mediated effect tests and studies utilizing the process plug-in SPSS developed by Hayes. The NCCs of college nursing interns were related to whether working as student leaders, whether have a better self-learning evaluation level, whether a college nursing intern with good interpersonal relationship, and whether they intend to engage in the nursing profession in the future. The scores of NCC, EI, and SCG were (156.43±23.14), (61.55±9.10), and (167.64±20.52) respectively. There were positive correlations among SCG (r = 0.402), EI (r = 0.506), and NCC. The partial mediating effect of EI between SCG and NCC was 0.127, accounting for 36.29% of the total results. The average levels of Chinese college nursing interns' NCC and SCG were at a moderate level. EI is mediating between SCG and NCC in Chinese nursing interns. This new perspective shows that developing and improving SCG and EI may improve NCC. We suggest modifying the nurse curriculum and instruction to strengthen NCC and integrating SCG and EI management into the nursing curriculum.

DISTANTES, MAS NEM TANTO: percepção de sofrimento psíquico de profissionais administrativos de um hospital

The hospital environment can cause suffering in health professionals because it involves direct contact with death, pain and suffering. Administrative staff, who are often in permanent contact with users, are not immune to this impact. However, studies with this population are still scarce. The present research intends to collect data on the perception of suffering and their intervening factors in administrative professionals who work in sectors related to adult patients in critical condition of a general hospital in the countryside of São Paulo. This is an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative research. Data were collected using an online form and evaluated using Bardin's content analysis technique. Employees, in general, reported a feeling of well-being, despite the prevalence of tiredness. Difficulties typical of the hospital environment, death of patients, overload, devaluation, lack of recognition and collaboration in solving tasks and communication difficulties were the main risk aspects identified for suffering. On the other hand, liking the job, seeing relevance at work, having good interpersonal relationships, performing self-care and receiving support from the institution were considered protective factors. The results may subsidize interventions in favor of the mental health of professionals.

Production and reception of human resource management practices for health promotion.

Organizations thrive when there is a healthy relationship between people, i.e., where there is high social capital. Human resource management practices (HRMP) contribute to promoting social capital and mental health in organizations. However, there remains a gap in the literature on practices to promote mental health, as well as on the difference in perception of the function of the practices between those who promote them and those who receive them. Thus, this study aimed to identify what HRMP oriented toward mental health promotions are, how they are perceived, and whether there is variation among these perceptions. Twenty managers and 11 subordinates were interviewed. To achieve the first two objectives, a content analysis was performed, and for the last, a lexical analysis. In the content analysis, the following categories emerged for both groups: work organization and idiosyncratic deals and affective social support. Only in the managers did the categories of informational support, communication, and maintaining good interpersonal relationships emerge. The lexical analysis suggested that managers perceive task-related practices as promoting mental health, while teams attribute importance to affective social support practices. HRMP psychological principles were described. Social support practices should be adopted as human resource protective strategies for mental health.

Moreover, it emphasises the importance of maintaining and promoting quality nursing care as the cornerstone of healthcare.

Associated factors of professional burnout among faculty members of graduate stricto sensu programs in language teaching and linguistics: a cross-sectional study.

The burnout syndrome can be avoided and/or have its signs and symptoms reduced by knowing the five associated factors that help identify the health and working conditions of the professors of graduate programs. To analyze the factors associated with burnout among faculty members of graduate stricto sensu programs. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 585 faculty members of Graduate Programs in Language Teaching and Linguistics in Brazil. Data were collected through an online questionnaire. The outcomes were the dimensions of burnout and its related factors identified through multiple templates of logistic regression. Faculty members with increased chances of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization mentioned the use of medications due to labor activities. The negative influence of pace and intensity of work, thoughts about quitting the program, and having to produce three or more scientific articles were associated with higher chances of emotional exhaustion, while having to achieve nine hours per week in undergraduate programs was related to reduced personal accomplishment. Having a conjugal relationship, satisfaction with health and work, post-doctoral degree, autonomy, and good interpersonal relationships with faculty members of the program reduced the chances of emotional exhaustion. Reduced chances of depersonalization occurred among those who were satisfied with work, had good interpersonal relationships with advisees and faculty members, and received productivity funding. Sociodemographic, health, and occupational factors related to the dimensions of burnout were identified.

Relationship Between Patient-Centered Primary Care Provider Communication and Emergency Room Visits in the Medicaid Population in North Carolina, United States.

Medicaid, a joint federal-state program, finances health care for eligible low-income individuals and families in the United States. Medicaid patients use disproportionately more emergency room (ER) services than other patients in the United States. Inadequate provider communication during primary care visits might be one reason for this well-documented phenomenon. The goal of the study was to examine how patient-centered provider communication related to ER use by Medicaid patients in North Carolina. A 2015 state-wide cross-sectional telephone survey of NC adult Medicaid patients (n = 2652) was based on the CAHPS methodology. Predictors were 4 patient-centered provider communication characteristics assessed by patients. The outcome was the number of ER visits during 6 months prior to the survey. We used negative binomial regression to examine the relationship. Effective patient-centered provider communication index was associated with 19% fewer ER visits (P < .05). Provider's respect for patients had the biggest impact on the number of visits (37% fewer ER visits, P < .001). Easy to understand provider explanations were associated with 18% fewer ER visits (P < .05). Longer (>1 year) patient continuity with the current primary care provider was associated with 36% to 38% fewer ER visits (P < .001). Health care quality improvement should focus on training providers how to show respect, give easily understood explanations, and maintain good interpersonal relationships with patients. Relevant agencies should emphasize training and accreditation with a specific emphasis on communication of providers delivering care to Medicaid patients.

Research on the influence of social responsibility oriented human resource management on employees' organizational citizenship behavior

Socially responsible HR is a human resource management model aiming at sustainable development, emphasizing the coordination of various stakeholders and having a significant impact on the development of the company. At the same time, corporate citizenship is also voluntarily participated by employees. It can maintain and improve the internal environment of the enterprise, enhance the functions of the enterprise, improve the operation efficiency of the enterprise, and maintain the good interpersonal relationship of the enterprise.

Therefore, it is very important to explore the role of human resource management based on corporate social responsibility in enterprises. This paper uses human resource management, organizational identity, organizational citizenship behavior, and group behavior as the main indicators to make a questionnaire. Through empirical research, it is found that: 1) HRM based on social responsibility has a significant positive effect on organizational citizenship behavior of corporate employees; (2) HRM based on social responsibility has a significant positive effect on corporate identity; (3) Organizational identity There is a significant positive correlation with organizational citizenship behavior; (4) the impact of organizational identity on human resource management and corporate citizenship behavior; (5) collective orientation has a significant positive correlation with organizational citizenship organizational identity.

КИТАЙСЬКИЙ І ЯПОНСЬКИЙ НЕЧІТКИЙ МОВЛЕННЄВИЙ АКТ: ПОДІБНЕ ТА ВІДМІННЕ

Any language is not only a part of the culture but also its carrier. Different national languages embody their unique traditional culture and at the same time are a reflection of the national way of thinking of their speakers, national customs, social values, etc. According to the division into "high-context" and "low-context" cultures, which was proposed by Hall E. T. (1959), China and Japan appear to be the representatives of high-context culture. In a high-context culture, the main transmission of information depends on the context. A large amount of information strongly depends on the context, while only a small part of the information is conveyed with the help of lingual forms. High-context cultures emphasize indirect ways of expression. That is, in Chinese and Japanese languages, only a small part of the information is transmitted verbally, while the main part of it is provided through the context and circumstances of communication. Meanwhile under the influence of the ideology of Confucianism, the avocation of "propriety" is reflected in the demand for people's polite behavior in both China and Japan. Therefore, when interacting with people, one has to pay more attention to preserving the face of others and minimizing the threat to others' faces, in particular with the help of euphemistic and subtle language expressions. Refusal is such a speech act that threatens the face of all communication participants. Therefore, in Chinese and Japanese lingual cultures, the vague speech act of refusal is usually exercised in order to avoid expressing the intention of "rejection" directly with the help of vague and unclear expressions, so as to leave a buffer zone for both parties. On the one hand, to reduce the threat of losing face by both counterparties; on the other hand, to maintain good interpersonal relations. However, each of the two languages has its own typological and cultural characteristics, and in this article, the author sets the main goal ̶ to find out the similarities and differences between the Chinese and Japanese vague refusal speech acts based on the grammatical and cultural peculiarities of the languages in focus.

Pediatric Emergency Resident – Nurse Teaching: a Survey of an Innovative Method

Background&#x0D; Triage is one of the most important steps in the emergency department (ED), as it helps to recognize the urgency among patients. A proper triage system identifies the most critical patients regardless of the time of presentation. Triage nurses rarely can follow up on their triaged patients to verify the accuracy of their decision.&#x0D; Methods&#x0D; A teaching session on male genitalia triage by a Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) resident was given to triage nurses and a survey was sent afterwards to all participants to evaluate the confidence in their triage accuracy before and after the session.&#x0D; Results&#x0D; The results showed a statistically significant increase in the confidence of nurses in avoiding both undertriage and overtriage accuracy. Also, all the nurses recommended attending similar talks given by a PEM resident. This study has helped in ameliorating interprofessional relationship between the nurses and residents especially with the increased use of masks. However, the number of nurses is too small to be representative and a bigger quality improvement study is needed.&#x0D; Conclusion&#x0D; PEM resident-nurses teaching is an innovative method to improve the accuracy and quality of triage and to help establish good interpersonal relationship skills in the pediatric ED. More studies are needed in the future to validate this technique so that it can be implemented for all presentations.

Dynamics of Team Learning Behaviours: The Effect of Time and Team Culture.

This research study focused on team learning behaviours, particularly the extent to which teams use learning behaviours over time, as well as the influence of different team cultures on learning behaviours over time. Data from 33 university project teams were collected longitudinally at three moments (beginning, halfway point, and end of the project) and the analysis was conducted through growth modelling. A linear relationship between time and team learning through experimenting behaviour was found, suggesting that experimenting behaviour tends to increase over time in project teams. Moreover, the early development of team cultures that promote mutual understanding and good interpersonal relationships, the accomplishment of objectives, flexibility, and the search for alternative ways to perform tasks/problem solving are conducive to experimenting behaviours from the beginning of the teamwork. This study highlights the relevance of the temporal dynamics of team learning behaviours and their interaction with team culture.

The Effects of Physical Activity on Positive Emotions in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Positive emotions help children and adolescents develop good personalities and interpersonal relationships. Evidence shows that participation in physical activity is associated with positive emotions in young people. However, there is still a lack of studies on the effects of physical activity on positive emotions in children and adolescents. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effects of physical activity on positive emotions in children and adolescents. Online databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and APA PsycInfo) were searched from inception to August 2022. A total of 24 articles were eventually included representing 3907 participants from 14 different countries. Overall, the effect of physical activity interventions on positive emotions was significant. The studies revealed that positive emotions were statistically better in the physical activity participation group than in the control group without physical activity (SMD = 0.62, 95% CI: (0.24, 1.01), (p &lt; 0.01). Based on subgroup analyses, we found that participation in aerobic exercise for 30-60 min in adolescents aged ≥12 years had a more significant intervention effect on positive emotions. These findings indicate that the moods of children and adolescents who participate in physical activity significantly improved compared with the moods of those who do not participate in physical activity. The age, exercise type, and exercise duration of adolescents are important factors influencing the positive emotions resulting from physical activity interventions.
