In December 2022, a large population infected with COVID-19 emerged in China, including frontline nurses. To maintain the medical system's function, many infected nurses returned to work before full recovery. This study aims to examine the characteristics of work resumption behaviour among the infected nurses and its influencing factors.
A nationwide cross-sectional study utilising questionnaire data.
An indicator was developed to assess the work resumption behaviour: work resumption type (autonomous work resumption, constrained work resumption). As the possible influencing factors of work resumption type, professional commitment, organisational commitment and psychological capital were included and measured by the Professional Commitment Scale (PCS), Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), and Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). The logistic regression models were applied to estimate the association between the score of the PCS, OCQ, PCQ, and work resumption type.
A total of 30,062 nurses were included. The mean time of nurses returning to work after infection was 1.8 days, with 88.6% exhibiting autonomous work resumption behaviour. One standard deviation increment in the score of the PCS, OCQ, and PCQ was associated with a 41% (OR = 1.41), 29% (OR = 1.29) and 42% (OR = 1.42) average increase in the odds of having an autonomous work resumption, respectively.
The majority of nurses returned to work before full recovery during the pandemic. Elevated professional commitment, organisational commitment and psychological capital were associated with autonomous work resumption behaviour.
The large-scale work resumption in this emerging infectious disease outbreak demonstrated that the healthcare system should reevaluate nursing workforce growth targets for pandemics. It is still warranted for future research to explore the long-term effects of work resumption on individual and organisational levels.

Wound healing is a complicated and multistage biological process for the repair of damaged/injured tissues, which requires intelligent designs to provide comprehensive and convenient treatment. Peptide-based wound dressings have received extensive attention for further development and application due to their excellent biocompatibility and multifunctionality. However, the current lack of intuitive analysis of the development trend and research hotspots of peptides applied in wound healing, as well as detailed elaboration of possible research hotspots, restricted obtaining a comprehensive understanding and development in this field. The present study analysed publications from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database and visualized the hotspots and current trends of peptide research in wound healing. Data between January 1st, 2003, and December 31st, 2022, were collected and subjected to a bibliometric analysis. The countries, institutions, co-authorship, co-citation reference, and co-occurrence of keywords in this subject were examined using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. We provided an intuitive, timely, and logical overview of the development prospects and challenges of peptide application in wound healing and some solutions to the major obstacles, which will help researchers gain insights into the investigation of this promising field.
