Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 937 nurses in Yunnan Province using the Beliefs and Attitudes Scale on Nurses’ Prescriptive Authority. The scale assessed four dimensions: perceived need, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the overall score and each dimension. Results: The total score of the Beliefs and Attitudes Scale was 89.17 ± 17.69, indicating a moderate level of awareness and positive attitude among nurses. The highest-scoring dimension was perceived benefits (34.94 ± 8.04), while the lowest was perceived barriers (15.23 ± 3.5). Age was identified as a significant factor influencing the overall score and self-efficacy dimension (P < 0.05). Years of practice influenced the perceived benefits dimension (P = 0.051), while gender, age, and professional title were key factors affecting the perceived barriers dimension (P < 0.05). Male nurses and senior nurses demonstrated more caution toward potential risks associated with prescriptive authority. Conclusion: Nurses in Yunnan Province exhibit moderate levels of belief in and attitudes toward prescriptive authority, with age being the most significant influencing factor. Tailored training programs, policy promotion, and practical guidance are recommended to enhance nurses’ understanding and support for prescriptive authority, thereby improving nursing practices and addressing regional healthcare challenges.展开更多

Methods: Literature review on the relevant articles/material with the contents of the nurse’ s right of prescription home and a-broad. Semi-structured depth interview method was used to interview 18 experts on whether the nurses can participate in the graded nursing decision and whether nurses with certain ability can make the decision. Using the self-made questionnaire“Nur-ses involved in graded nursing decision-recognition questionnaire”, 553 nurses completed questionnaires on willingness to nurse decision-making grading. Using the analytic hierarchy process, the 23 experts’ judgment on the main body of the graded nurs-ing was rated. Using semi-structured depth interview method, 17 experts were interviewed on the graded nursing quality assess-ment and training outline. The form of expert personal judgment and the“grading nursing qualification experts predict question-naire”were used as a preliminary designing tool, 32 experts were asked to predict the graded nursing quality. The relatively im-portant factors that might promote implementation of right of Chinese nurse prescribing weights setting were obtained by analytic hierarchy process. Using Delphi method, 2 rounds of consultation to 291 experts/times were performed, and determined its con-tent on the fields of graded nursing decision, nurses’ job description, decision making nurse in graded nursing work process and related management system, decision-making main body of clinical nursing, nurse authority of prescription application qualifi-cation, clinical nurses, diabetes specialist nurses, tumor specialist nurses, nurses in emergency department, community nurses in certain circumstances writing prescription, and nursing undergraduate added with nurse authority of prescription related courses. Results: The physician is not considered to be the best decision-making main body of clinical nursing work and graded nurs-ing, nurses can participate in the work of decision-making. The qualification of hierarchical decision-making nurse and nurse prescribing applicants have been determined. The hierarchical nursing decision-making nurses’ position description and training outline have been compiled. Experts suggest that clinical nurses with certain qualifications should be given the rights of some prescription form ( independent prescription, prescription, prescription protocol extension) to prescribe specific drugs in high fe-ver, hypoglycemia, hypertension, anaphylactic shock and other 11 specific circumstances. The nurses of the diabetes should be given the right of prescribing sulfonylureas, biguanides, glucosidase inhibitor, and protamine zinc insulin, and the right to write the prescription and consultation for part of medical equipment, health education, and four routine tests, which contains blood sugar monitoring, urine glucose monitoring, glycosylated hemoglobin assay, and oral glucose tolerance test. Tumor specialist nurses should be given the right to write the prescription of 7 specific circumstances including blood routine tests, electrocardio-gram, blood biochemistry and other 9 laboratory tests, constipation, phlebitis, and cancer pain, and the right of 5 tumor emer-gency prescription including chemotherapy drug allergy, hemorrhagic shock, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Nurses in e-mergency department with certain qualification should be given the right to prescribe specific drugs in 15 circumstances which include cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and acute cardiogenic chest pain. Community nurses with certain qualification should be given the right to write the prescriptions on 14 contents including disinfection and cleaning, sterile infusion type, and wound care products. Experts suggest that nursing undergraduate education in China should be added with 2 courses which are prescription rights related laws and regulations and nursing intervention, and that pharmacology course should be supplemented with related course in order to adapt to the implementation of nurse prescribing rights. Conclusions: China’ s nurses with certain qualification or after special training have the ability to accept and should be given the right of prescriptions in certain circumstance within the scope of their work.展开更多

However, studies have revealed instances where nurses demonstrate inaccurate practices. This study is aimed to measure the physical assessment skills of critical care nurses and the differences between levels of nursing education. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving a simple random sample of 101 nurses employed in critical care units. Results: Of the 101 participants, 56.4% were identified as female and 43.6% were male. In the sample, 71.0% held a diploma in nursing, while 29.0% held a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Vital signs, orientation, and skin assessments were performed correctly in ≥90% of cases, whereas the majority (≥60%) did not correctly assess neck veins, Homan’s signs, breath sounds, heart sounds, and bowel sounds. Only ≤10% of participants accurately executed these assessments. Significant associations were found between sex and pain (P=0.034), as well as between the type of education and closure of the health assessment (P=0.041). Further, female nurses scored 10.0 ± 2.3, and male nurses 8.5 ± 2.5, diploma holders scored 9.4 ± 1.8, and BSN holders scored 9.3 ± 2.7 at the global rating. Conclusions: The presence of an existing gap in the accurate assessment of patients poses a potential risk to patient care. It is essential to investigate the factors contributing to this gap and to develop strategies to address it, thereby enhancing the quality of physical assessment and ultimately improving patient care.展开更多

文摘Objective: To investigate the current beliefs and attitudes of nurses in Yunnan Province toward prescriptive authority, analyze the influencing factors, and provide evidence for future research and policy formulation to support the establishment of nurses’ prescriptive authority in China. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 937 nurses in Yunnan Province using the Beliefs and Attitudes Scale on Nurses’ Prescriptive Authority. The scale assessed four dimensions: perceived need, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the overall score and each dimension. Results: The total score of the Beliefs and Attitudes Scale was 89.17 ± 17.69, indicating a moderate level of awareness and positive attitude among nurses. The highest-scoring dimension was perceived benefits (34.94 ± 8.04), while the lowest was perceived barriers (15.23 ± 3.5). Age was identified as a significant factor influencing the overall score and self-efficacy dimension (P < 0.05). Years of practice influenced the perceived benefits dimension (P = 0.051), while gender, age, and professional title were key factors affecting the perceived barriers dimension (P < 0.05). Male nurses and senior nurses demonstrated more caution toward potential risks associated with prescriptive authority. Conclusion: Nurses in Yunnan Province exhibit moderate levels of belief in and attitudes toward prescriptive authority, with age being the most significant influencing factor. Tailored training programs, policy promotion, and practical guidance are recommended to enhance nurses’ understanding and support for prescriptive authority, thereby improving nursing practices and addressing regional healthcare challenges.
文摘BACKGROUND Global tumor incidence rises and therapies advance,driving oncology nursing specialization.Granting nurses prescriptive authority optimizes care but polarizes nurses'attitudes due to factors like risk and competence,hindering policy implementation.AIM To investigate the current status of the attitudes of oncology specialist nurses toward having prescribing authority,specifically concerning symptom management and supportive care in oncology practice,and we conducted a path analysis of their influencing factors.METHODS As participants in the survey,oncology specialist nurses working in hospitals of different grades in Jiangsu Province were selected from March 2025 to May 2025 using a stratified sampling method.The questionnaires were administered using the general information questionnaire,the beliefs and attitudes about nurses'prescriptive authority scale,the nurses'professional identity scale,and the selfefficacy scale.Pearson’s method was used to analyze the correlation between beliefs and attitudes about the prescriptive authority,professional identity,and self-efficacy of nurses.Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the factors influencing the beliefs and attitudes of nurses’prescriptive authority.The Amos plug-in was used to construct structural equation models to analyze the influencing pathways.RESULTS A total of 329 questionnaires were distributed,and 328 valid questionnaires were returned(effective recovery rate:99.70%).The total score of the 328 oncology nurses on the beliefs and attitudes about nurses'prescriptive authority scale was 101.88±15.13,indicating a moderately high level.Univariate analysis revealed that gender and hospital grade were associated with this score(P<0.05).The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that self-efficacy was positively correlated with the scores of the beliefs and attitudes about nurses’prescriptive authority scale and the nurses’professional identity scale(r=0.4999,P<0.0001 and r=0.7048,P<0.05,respectively),whereas occupational identity was positively correlated only with the former(r=0.6209,P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed occupational identity and self-efficacy as the factors influencing the scores of the beliefs and attitudes about nurses’prescriptive authority scale(P<0.05).The results of the path analysis revealed that selfefficacy significantly positively affected nurses’occupational identity and their beliefs and attitudes about having prescriptive authority;occupational identity played a mediating role between the two,with a mediating effect accounting for 54.46% of the total effect,and the structural equation model was well-fitted.CONCLUSION Oncology nurses have more positive attitudes toward prescriptive authority.In addition,self-efficacy positively and indirectly affects nurses’attitudes toward prescriptive authority through the mediating effect of occupational identity.This can be used as a basis for clinical practice to take targeted measures to improve nurses’self-efficacy and occupational identity,thus creating favorable conditions for effectively implementing the policy of prescriptive authority.

Semi-structured depth interview method was used to interview 18 experts on whether the nurses can participate in the graded nursing decision and whether nurses with certain ability can make the decision. Using the self-made questionnaire“Nur-ses involved in graded nursing decision-recognition questionnaire”, 553 nurses completed questionnaires on willingness to nurse decision-making grading. Using the analytic hierarchy process, the 23 experts’ judgment on the main body of the graded nurs-ing was rated. Using semi-structured depth interview method, 17 experts were interviewed on the graded nursing quality assess-ment and training outline. The form of expert personal judgment and the“grading nursing qualification experts predict question-naire”were used as a preliminary designing tool, 32 experts were asked to predict the graded nursing quality. The relatively im-portant factors that might promote implementation of right of Chinese nurse prescribing weights setting were obtained by analytic hierarchy process. Using Delphi method, 2 rounds of consultation to 291 experts/times were performed, and determined its con-tent on the fields of graded nursing decision, nurses’ job description, decision making nurse in graded nursing work process and related management system, decision-making main body of clinical nursing, nurse authority of prescription application qualifi-cation, clinical nurses, diabetes specialist nurses, tumor specialist nurses, nurses in emergency department, community nurses in certain circumstances writing prescription, and nursing undergraduate added with nurse authority of prescription related courses. Results: The physician is not considered to be the best decision-making main body of clinical nursing work and graded nurs-ing, nurses can participate in the work of decision-making. The qualification of hierarchical decision-making nurse and nurse prescribing applicants have been determined. The hierarchical nursing decision-making nurses’ position description and training outline have been compiled. Experts suggest that clinical nurses with certain qualifications should be given the rights of some prescription form ( independent prescription, prescription, prescription protocol extension) to prescribe specific drugs in high fe-ver, hypoglycemia, hypertension, anaphylactic shock and other 11 specific circumstances. The nurses of the diabetes should be given the right of prescribing sulfonylureas, biguanides, glucosidase inhibitor, and protamine zinc insulin, and the right to write the prescription and consultation for part of medical equipment, health education, and four routine tests, which contains blood sugar monitoring, urine glucose monitoring, glycosylated hemoglobin assay, and oral glucose tolerance test. Tumor specialist nurses should be given the right to write the prescription of 7 specific circumstances including blood routine tests, electrocardio-gram, blood biochemistry and other 9 laboratory tests, constipation, phlebitis, and cancer pain, and the right of 5 tumor emer-gency prescription including chemotherapy drug allergy, hemorrhagic shock, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Nurses in e-mergency department with certain qualification should be given the right to prescribe specific drugs in 15 circumstances which include cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and acute cardiogenic chest pain. Community nurses with certain qualification should be given the right to write the prescriptions on 14 contents including disinfection and cleaning, sterile infusion type, and wound care products. Experts suggest that nursing undergraduate education in China should be added with 2 courses which are prescription rights related laws and regulations and nursing intervention, and that pharmacology course should be supplemented with related course in order to adapt to the implementation of nurse prescribing rights. Conclusions: China’ s nurses with certain qualification or after special training have the ability to accept and should be given the right of prescriptions in certain circumstance within the scope of their work.

文摘Objective Systematically integrate nurses’experience with“Internet Nursing Service”to analysis the nurses’experiences with“Internet Nursing Service”,and to provide a theoretical reference for formulating a more rational“Internet Nursing Service”model.Methods A systematic search in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,CINAHL,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database was conducted to collect qualitative research on nurses’experiences with“Internet Nursing Service,”with a retrieval time limit from December 2019 to June 2024.Qualitative meta-synthesis was performed through line-by-line coding of relevant quotes,organization of codes into descriptive themes,and development of analytical themes.Results A total of 19 studies were included,one study was rated as Grade A in quality evaluation,and the remaining studies were rated as Grade B.Collectively synthesized into three integrated results:Harvest and growth,Difficulties and challenges,and Expectations and support.Harvest and growth,include 1)manifestation of self-value,2)enhancing nursing capabilities,3)optimizing nursing resources;Difficulties and challenges,include 1)lack of safety guarantee,2)role conflict;Expectations and support include,1)expectation for professional knowledge and skill training,2)expectations for service platform optimization,3)expectation for reasonable charges,4)expectation for related policy support.Conclusion“Internet Nursing Service”model benefits both nurses and patients,but still full of challenges.It aids in the decentralization of medical resources.Management departments still need to encourage nurses to actively invest in“Internet Nursing Service”while ensuring their safety and interests.
文摘Objectives:Nurses working in critical care units may encounter substantial work-related strain,and elevated levels of stress can lead to burnout,ultimately impacting both the quality of nursing care and their overall working experience.This study aimed to assess job burnout and determine the factors that contribute to it among critical care nurses in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.Methods:This study employed a descriptive,exploratory,cross-sectional research design.A total of 220 nurses employed in the critical care units of 5 private hospitals in the eastern region were selected for participation in this study using a convenience sample method.An electronic survey was distributed to critical care nurses in the Eastern Province who satisfied the specified inclusion criteria.The job burnout questionnaire utilized in this study was derived from previously conducted research,which has been established as a reliable and valid survey instrument.The process of data analysis was conducted utilizing the SPSS program.The scientific research conducted on human subjects adhered rigorously to all ethical considerations.Results:The highest percentage of nurses at the critical care units reported experiencing moderate levels of job burnout.Nurses exhibiting greater levels of professional experience demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in overall burnout scores when compared to their less experienced counterparts.Furthermore,within the realm of sociodemographic factors,it was found that the only significant independent predictor for job burnout was the level of experience among critical care nurses.Conclusions:The prevalence of burnout among nurses in critical care settings was found to be significant,with most participants reporting moderate levels of burnout which can yield significant ramifications for nurses and healthcare professionals.Consequently,healthcare organizations must accord primacy to the welfare of their staff and adopt proactive strategies to mitigate job burnout.
文摘Emergency department nurses face severe occupational stress leading to anxiety,depression,and burnout,which significantly impair their well-being and patientcare quality.This narrative review examined the role of mindfulness-based stress reduction(MBSR)in addressing these challenges.Rooted in nonjudgmental present-moment awareness,MBSR enhances emotional regulation and reduces psychological distress by fostering adaptive coping strategies.Studies have demonstrated its efficacy in lowering anxiety,depressive symptoms,and emotional exhaustion,while improving workplace well-being,empathy,and job satisfaction.Mechanistically,MBSR improves interoceptive awareness and autonomic balance,as evidenced by physiological markers such as heart rate variability.However,gaps remain in long-term efficacy assessments,personalized interventions,and integration with multidisciplinary approaches.Future research should prioritize tailored biomarker-driven programs,longitudinal studies,and scalable implementation strategies in high-stress clinical settings.This review underscores MBSR’s potential as a sustainable,evidence-based tool to enhance emergency department nurses’mental health and professional performance,advocating for broader adoption and further refinement of its practical applications.
文摘Dear Editor-in-Chief,We are glad to see that there are Representatives such as Zhihong Li,who voiced"training nurse practitioners(NPs)in China to improve chronic disease management in primary care settings such as township or rural health centers"at the Fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress(NPC)[1].In addition,the Lancet,a top medical journal in the world,published a comment calling for a need of training NPs in China[2]and called upon the full potential of nurses in 2019[3].We also appeal"offering prescription right to qualified NPs is needed to increase the scope of practice for NPs in China,as there are more than 4 million nurses in the mainland of China,with one-fifth of nurses in the world.Qualified nurses with prescription right will dramatically improve access care for an aging population globally".
文摘Objective:This article employs a scoping review methodology,integrates knowledge and information about current pediatric nurses'practices and perceptions regarding family-centered care in pediatric settings.Methods:Published articles were retrieved from databases including EBSCO host,PubMed,Springer,Science Direct,Ovid,and CINAHL between 2013 and 2023.Results:The finding shows a better understanding of pediatric nurses'perceptions of family-centered care in association with their clinical settings.However,the evidence indicates that integrating family-centered care components into health care services is difficult and confusing to nurses and is often not implemented in a clinical setting.As evidenced by this review,studies have consistently reported similar results;family-centered care was a good perception and understood by pediatric nurses as a concept but inconsistently used in a daily practice setting.Conclusions:This scoping review is the first phase in promoting a strategic plan to provide educational interventions for pediatric nurses to implement family-centered care in their daily practice settings.It's necessary to recognize pediatric nurses'perceptions and practices concerning family-centered care to provide optimal healthcare services in pediatric settings.
文摘Objective: Physical assessment is an indispensable and pivotal skill that nurses must aptly monitor, evaluate, and deliver timely care, particularly in the context of critically ill patients. However, studies have revealed instances where nurses demonstrate inaccurate practices. This study is aimed to measure the physical assessment skills of critical care nurses and the differences between levels of nursing education. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving a simple random sample of 101 nurses employed in critical care units. Results: Of the 101 participants, 56.4% were identified as female and 43.6% were male. In the sample, 71.0% held a diploma in nursing, while 29.0% held a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Vital signs, orientation, and skin assessments were performed correctly in ≥90% of cases, whereas the majority (≥60%) did not correctly assess neck veins, Homan’s signs, breath sounds, heart sounds, and bowel sounds. Only ≤10% of participants accurately executed these assessments. Significant associations were found between sex and pain (P=0.034), as well as between the type of education and closure of the health assessment (P=0.041). Further, female nurses scored 10.0 ± 2.3, and male nurses 8.5 ± 2.5, diploma holders scored 9.4 ± 1.8, and BSN holders scored 9.3 ± 2.7 at the global rating. Conclusions: The presence of an existing gap in the accurate assessment of patients poses a potential risk to patient care. It is essential to investigate the factors contributing to this gap and to develop strategies to address it, thereby enhancing the quality of physical assessment and ultimately improving patient care.
文摘Objective:To investigate the current situation of nurses’lack of nursing care in southern Xinjiang and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to select 1476 nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Kashi from May 2022 to December 2022 as the subjects of a cross-sectional survey.The nurses in southern Xinjiang were investigated by general information questionnaire and nursing deficiency scale-nurse version.Results:A total of 1476 valid questionnaires were collected in this study.The score of nurses’lack of care in southern Xinjiang was(56.05±9.36),which was above the middle level.Among them,the scores of timely responses to call bells,view patient medical records,fully understand their own patient’s condition,and provide emotional support for patients and/or family members were relatively low.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the scores of nurses’age,nurses’level,nursing career satisfaction and nursing job satisfaction(p<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the occupational satisfaction and nursing job satisfaction of nursing staff were the main factors affecting the lack of nursing work(p<0.05).Conclusion:The lack of nursing care of nurses in southern Xinjiang is at the upper middle level.The younger the age,the lower the satisfaction of nursing profession and the lower the satisfaction of nursing position,the more serious the lack of nursing care.In order to solve this problem,nursing managers should actively respond to the influencing factors of nursing absence and actively seek effective management measures to reduce the incidence of nursing absence and ensure the safety of patients.

文摘Objective:To assess knowledge and practice among nurses toward neonatal resuscitation in hospitals in Hebron.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 151 nurses from Hebron.Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.Multiple logistic regression was conducted to test the associated factors with the dependent variables.Results:Only 9.3%of participants had a standardized level of knowledge,while 68.9%reported adequate skills for neonatal resuscitation.Factors associated with a standardized level of knowledge were age(p=0.001)and supportive supervision(p=0.007).Factors associated with the standardized practice level were the presence of hospital guidelines(p=0.028),previous training of nurses(p=0.011),and the presence of supportive supervision(p<0.001).Conclusions:The majority of emergency nurses in Hebron hospitals demonstrated a substandard level of knowledge of neonatal resuscitation.However,most of those nurses surprisingly reported a standardized practice level.The presence of hospital guidelines,training programs,or direct supervision for nurses are factors that can be considered to improve both knowledge and practice toward neonatal resuscitation among emergency nurses in Hebron.
文摘1.The state of the world’s health Today’s global health landscape presents pressing challenges that demand urgent action.Nearly half of the global population lacks access to Universal Health Coverage(UHC),leaving millions vulnerable.Each year,100 million people are driven into extreme poverty by medical expenses.Noncommunicable diseases(NCDs),such as cancer,heart disease,and diabetes,are responsible for 41 million deaths annuallyd71%of global mortality.Communicable diseases remain a significant threat,particularly in emerging economies,with only 81%of children receiving vaccinations in 2021da 5%decline from previous years.Compounded by this,humanitarian crises in 2024 are expected to impact 300 million people,and the proportion of the population aged over 60 is projected to nearly double between 2015 and 2050.Additionally,mental illness affects over 970 million people,posing significant challenges to healthcare providers,particularly nurses.
文摘Objective:Patient falls in the healthcare settings are unwanted events that can have severe consequences for both inpatients and outpatients;however,falls are preventable and nurses play an important role in this prevention.The purpose of this study was to investigate nurse activities in fall prevention and its relevant factors.Methods:This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Can Tho Central General Hospital,with the participation of 90 nurses.Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of five parts,including personal characteristics,knowledge about fall prevention,self-efficacy in fall prevention,nursing practice environment,and fall prevention activities.The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software with descriptive statistics,independent t-test,one-way ANOVA,and Pearson’s correlation coefficients.Results:The mean score of participants’knowledge in fall prevention was 4.67(SD=2.50)out of 11 scores;the self-efficacy score was 49.43(SD=8.55)out of 66 scores;nursing practice environment score was 29.69(SD=4.00)out of 40 scores;and the fall prevention activity scores were 75.58(SD=9.96)out of 100 scores.Factors related to fall prevention activities included gender(p=0.03),place of work(p=0.02),number of fall prevention training sessions(p=0.03),self-efficacy in fall prevention(r=0.61,p<0.001),and the nursing practice environment(r=0.25,p<0.05).Conclusions:An intervention program for fall prevention can be implemented to enhance the knowledge about fall prevention among nurses and improve the nursing practice environment to enhance patient safety.
文摘Objective:The combination of science and art in nursing is essential for providing effective care.Since art is inherent and a part of human personality traits,it is believed that nurses’personality traits are important to achieve this cohesive combination in nursing.Accordingly,this study was conducted to determine the relationship between nurses’personality traits and the esthetics of nursing care.Methods:A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed.Study participants that consisted of 95 nurses and 285 patients from health centers in Iran were selected by convenience sampling method.Measures included the five-factor personality questionnaires(NEO-FFI)scale and Esthetics of Nursing Care Scale(ENCS).Results:The findings indicated a significant relationship between neuroticism(r=−0.149,P=0.028)and extraversion traits(r=0.136,P=0.045)of nurses in esthetics nursing care.In this study,no significant relationship was found between the personality traits and esthetics of nursing care using nurses’demographic information.Conclusions:The esthetics of nursing care depends on nurse personality traits.Since the art of nursing complements the expected care,it is suggested that nursing managers pay attention to the personality traits of nurses in planning to provide effective care.
