This study investigates how observed workplace ostracism affects nurses' helping behaviour from a bystander's perspective, examining the mediating roles of moral courage and employee resilience to inform strategies for fostering workplace harmony in nursing settings.
A cross-sectional study design was adopted.
A survey of 346 nurses from two Grade III, Level A hospitals in Henan, China, utilised scales measuring workplace ostracism, moral courage, helping behaviour and employee resilience. SPSS Statistics 26.0, Mplus 8.3 and the SPSS macro program Process 4.1 plugin were used to test the associations among variables.
Observed workplace ostracism positively correlated with nurses' helping behaviour, with moral courage partially mediating this relationship. Employee resilience moderated both the link between observed workplace ostracism and moral courage, and the indirect effect of observed workplace ostracism on helping behaviour through moral courage.
Nurses with high levels of resilience demonstrate moral courage when observing workplace ostracism and engage in helping behaviours towards those ostracised.
This study examines how workplace ostracism undermines nursing team cohesion and individual well-being. It highlights that bolstering nurses' resilience and moral courage can alleviate these adverse effects, thereby improving patient care quality. Nursing managers are advised to adopt targeted strategies, such as resilience training, to mitigate workplace ostracism.
This study employs a questionnaire to explore nurses' views of workplace ostracism and helping behaviours, aiming to inform strategies for fostering nursing team harmony and improving care quality.
This study strictly follows the STROBE reporting guidelines to ensure the clarity and credibility of the research findings.
Data were collected from hospital nurses through electronic questionnaires.
The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). A retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort of 335 patients who underwent PELD between January 2016 and January 2023. Data were derived from the Hospital Information System (HIS), and a comprehensive statistical assessment was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed a range of risk determinants, such as age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, laboratory test parameters and surgery-related variables. The incidence of SSI after PELD was 2.7% (9/335). Univariate analysis highlighted BMI, diabetes mellitus, long-term corticosteroid consumption, surgical time and cerebrospinal fluid leakage as significant predictors of SSI. Multivariate logistic regression identified BMI, diabetes mellitus, long-term corticosteroid consumption, surgical time and cerebrospinal fluid leakage as significant risk factors for SSI after PELD. High BMI, diabetes mellitus, long-term corticosteroid consumption, long surgical time and postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage are predisposing factors for SSI in patients undergoing PELD. Precise interventions focused on such risk components, including careful preoperative assessment and strategic postoperative care, are essential to reduce the incidence of SSI and improve surgical efficacy.
