Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and determinants of workplace violence (WPV) among nurses in the South-East Asian Region and Western Pacific Regions through systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that nurses experience a high level of WPV, especially verbal abuse, in their workplace settings. Measures to prevent and manage WPV, including legislation changes and organisational commitment, are essential for ensuring effective policies and occupational safety for nurses.

Summary: This study estimated the cost of pressure injuries in Australian public hospitals in 2020, demonstrating the economic burden they placed on the healthcare system. The total cost of pressure injuries was found to be AUD 9.11 billion, with the largest shares attributed to excess length of stay and treatment costs. It was concluded that reducing preventable pressure injuries and stopping the progression of early-stage pressure injuries could lead to significant cost savings for Australia and other countries with comparable healthcare systems.

Summary: Research on artificial intelligence-based technologies in healthcare has increased, but there are concerns about data bias and potential implications for certain populations when introducing these technologies into nursing. The existing studies mainly focus on the early stages of technology development, with limited evidence on the impact and implementation of these technologies in practice. Guidelines for research reporting and implementing artificial intelligence-based technologies in nursing are needed, as well as integrating basic knowledge of these technologies into nursing education and increasing the involvement of nurses in the technology research and development process.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the literature to determine the worldwide prevalence of mental health effects in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings showed that the proportion of children and adolescents experiencing mental health effects varied widely across different countries. However, there was a trend towards an increase in mental health issues. Therefore, policymakers, healthcare planners, youth mental health services, teachers, parents, and researchers need to be prepared to address the demand for mental health support.

Summary: The study found that nurses in Greece and Spain had higher acceptance rates for safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, while nurses in Cyprus, Albania, and Kosovo had lower acceptance rates. Key factors for willingness to get vaccinated included being male, living in a country with a high mortality rate, not being infected with COVID-19, having a high level of knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines, and having been vaccinated for influenza in the last 2 years. Trusting the government and doctors for information about COVID-19 and having a high level of fear about the virus were also key factors for willingness to get vaccinated.

Summary: The study found that workplace violence in China has both direct and indirect effects on turnover intention among healthcare workers, with social support and mental health as potential mediators. Workers who experienced violence during the COVID-19 outbreak were more likely to report turnover intention. Enhancing social support and reducing mental health problems are effective strategies to mitigate the negative effects of workplace violence on turnover intention.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased moral distress in healthcare, affecting both work and personal life of healthcare providers. Moral distress can predict mental health strain and burnout, but not maladaptive coping. Seeing patients each week magnifies the relationship between moral distress and mental health strain and burnout over time.

Summary: COVID-19 has impacted millions of patients and healthcare workers worldwide. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial in protecting healthcare workers from infection. However, many clinicians are experiencing skin injuries caused by improper use of PPE, increasing the risk of viral infection and transmission. The U.S. National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) has provided guidelines to reduce the risk of skin injury caused by PPE, including skin preparation, frequent offloading, immediate treatment for visible injuries, and education for healthcare professionals.
