Lateral violence is a global social problem that has attracted considerable attention in the field of public health. This has seriously affected the quality of care, the safety of patients' lives and the career development of nurses.
To systematically evaluate the factors influencing of nursing lateral violence and provide evidence for preventing and reducing inter-nursing lateral violence.
A systematic review of qualitative study was performed in accordance with the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) guidelines. We collected qualitative studies on the factors influencing of inter-nursing lateral violence by searching PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Science Direct, WanFang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP) and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM). Data from inception to September 2023. Literature screening and data extraction were independently conducted by two reviewers. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) scale was employed to assess the quality of the studies, including objectives, methodologies, designs, results and contributions.
A total of 25 studies involving 882 participants were included. The results of the thematic analysis indicated that inter-nursing lateral violence was influenced by hospital management, perpetrators, victims and sociodemographic factors.
Inter-nursing lateral violence was influenced by multidimensional factors. To reduce the occurrence of horizontal violence among nurses, hospitals need to explore the establishment and improvement of a horizontal violence resolution mechanism, and schools should pay attention to the joint support and education of nursing students, create a good working environment and harmonious nursing culture, and promote mutual respect among nurses.
This review emphasises the importance of the influencing factors of horizontal violence among nurses, analyses the importance of influencing factors from different perspectives, and proposes corresponding measures to reduce inter-nursing lateral violence.
This study was mostly a literature review; neither patients nor pertinent staff were involved in either the design or conduct of the investigation.
To evaluate the research capability of clinical nurses in China and identify the determinants associated with their capability.
As nursing evolves into an increasingly independent discipline, the research capability of clinical nurses has become critical for the development of the profession, advancing evidence-based practice and improving patient care quality.
A multicentre cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling from September 2023 to February 2024, among clinical nurses in tertiary hospitals across three provinces in China. The Nursing Research Capability Self-Assessment Scale was used to assess the research capability of the nurses. Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression were used to examine factors associated with research capability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology was followed.
A total of 1074 clinical nurses participated. The mean research capability score was 89.11 ± 27.69, reflecting a moderate level of research capability. However, two dimensions of research questions and literature review received lower scores. Multiple linear regression analysis identified that education level, professional title, administrative position and nursing job title (all p < 0.05) were independent predictors of research capability.
Clinical nurses exhibit moderate research capability, with notable deficiencies in formulating research questions and conducting literature reviews. Key factors influencing research capability include education, professional title, administrative position, and job title. Targeted training and development programmes should address these factors to enhance nurses' research competence and advance nursing science.
To examine the impact of critical care nurses' delirium knowledge, self-efficacy and clinical reasoning competency on delirium care difficulties based on the information–motivation–behavioural (IMB) skills model from a behavioural perspective.
Cross-sectional study.
A total of 440 critical care nurses from five hospitals in China were selected using convenience sampling and invited to complete an online questionnaire for measurement. Data were collected in November 2024 and analysed using SPSS/AMOS with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Structural equation modelling was constructed to test the hypothesised relationships among the variables, with bootstrapping to assess mediation effects.
The level of delirium care difficulties was moderated. Delirium care difficulties were negatively correlated with delirium knowledge, self-efficacy and clinical reasoning competency. Clinical reasoning competency partly mediated delirium knowledge and self-efficacy with regard to delirium care difficulties.
Delirium knowledge, self-efficacy and clinical reasoning competency are essential for improving critical care nurses' delirium care competencies. The role of clinical reasoning competency in the relationship between the other two variables and delirium care difficulties was highlighted. Establishing multifaceted innovative delirium education programmes, emphasising individuals' sense of competence and enhancing clinical reasoning competency as behavioural skills were supported. Exploring these pathways using a nurse behaviour change-based perspective is critical.
Critical care managers should value nurses' delirium care competencies. Enhancing continuing professional development through system-level support with high reliability and multiform professional education, including innovative theoretical and practical training; advancing policies that increase work motivation and self-planning to stimulate self-efficacy; and exercising critical and reflective thinking to improve clinical reasoning competency may enhance nurses' delirium recognition and care competencies, including prioritisation, potentially improving delirium care dilemmas and patient outcomes.
The STROBE checklist was used as a guideline.
Nurses completed questionnaires.
