Yayın Violência no local de trabalho contra enfermeiros: Evidências qualitativas recentes(Scienceduc Eventos, 2026) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraIntrodução: A violência no trabalho constitui um grave e persistente problema enfrentado por enfermeiros em todo o mundo. Apesar dos avanços nas discussões sobre o tema, bem como na formulação de legislação e na implementação de diversas medidas voltadas à proteção desses profissionais no exercício de suas funções nas instituições de saúde, o fenômeno continua ocorrendo de forma recorrente, tornando-se cada vez mais diversificado e frequente. Objetivo: Refletir sobre a violência que ameaça os enfermeiros no local de trabalho, com base na literatura científica publicada em 2025. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma reflexão teórica, cujas buscas por artigos originais de pesquisas qualitativas primárias, publicados em inglês, foram realizadas na última semana de dezembro de 2025, na base de dados Scopus. Os descritores utilizados nas buscas foram “workplace violence”, “nurs”* e “qualitative”, correspondentes, em português, a “violência no local de trabalho”, “enf*” e “qualitativa”. A reflexão foi norteada pela seguinte pergunta: “Qual é a situação da violência no local de trabalho enfrentada por enfermeiros, segundo pesquisas qualitativas publicadas em 2025?” Resultados: Foram identificados nove artigos, dos quais seis atenderam a todos os critérios e foram incluídos nesta reflexão. Os estudos foram conduzidos em seis países: África do Sul, Arábia Saudita, China, Egito, Estados Unidos e Noruega, com amostras que variaram entre oito e 312 enfermeiros. Os achados evidenciaram que, além de sequelas físicas, a violência no local de trabalho acarreta sofrimento emocional significativo. Os episódios de violência foram atribuídos ou facilitados pela falta de conhecimento do público, pela insuficiência de segurança, pela complacência gerencial e por fragilidades estruturais das instituições. Embora as fontes de violência sejam predominantemente externas, especialmente por pacientes e seus familiares, a violência perpetrada por colegas de trabalho e, sobretudo, por gestores não pode ser minimizada. Ademais, sistemas de notificação complexos, que dificultam o registro dos episódios, e a banalização da violência foram destacados como fatores relevantes nos estudos analisados. O apoio psicológico aos profissionais, a educação permanente e a implementação de sistemas de notificação mais simples e acessíveis foram apontados como medidas fundamentais para mitigar a violência no trabalho entre enfermeiros. Conclusão: A violência no local de trabalho vem crescendo e assumindo novas formas, configurando uma ameaça crescente à saúde física, mental e social dos enfermeiros. O fato de terem sido identificadas diversas pesquisas sobre o tema — mesmo considerando a busca por um delineamento metodológico específico em um período de tempo limitado — evidencia a gravidade do problema e a necessidade de aprofundamento das discussões. O apoio de formuladores de políticas públicas, administradores de instituições de saúde e gestores de enfermagem é essencial para a implementação de estratégias eficazes que contribuam para o controle e a prevenção da violência no ambiente de trabalho.Yayın O papel da educação permanente no desenvolvimento profissional da enfermagem(Scienceduc Eventos, 2026) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraIntrodução: A educação permanente em saúde fundamenta-se na articulação entre aprendizagem, trabalho e cuidado, construída a partir das experiências cotidianas vivenciadas no exercício das funções nos serviços de saúde. No contexto da enfermagem, esse processo contribui significativamente para o desenvolvimento profissional contínuo da equipe, promovendo a atualização de conhecimentos, o aprimoramento de competências e a reflexão crítica sobre a prática. Objetivo: Refletir sobre o papel da educação permanente na área de enfermagem. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, fundamentada em artigos originais de pesquisas primárias, publicados em língua portuguesa nos últimos cinco anos, com participação de enfermeiros. Os textos completos foram localizados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), a partir de buscas realizadas em dezembro de 2025. Para a identificação dos estudos, utilizaram-se, como descritores aplicados aos títulos dos artigos, os termos “educação permanente” e “enf*”. Resultados: Foram identificados 44 artigos, dos quais sete atenderam a todos os critérios de elegibilidade e foram incluídos nesta revisão. Os estudos foram desenvolvidos em três regiões do Brasil: Sul (n=4), Sudeste (n=2) e Nordeste (n=1). Quanto ao delineamento metodológico, predominaram os estudos qualitativos (n=4), seguidos dos quantitativos (n=2) e de método misto (n=1). O número de participantes variou entre nove e 216 enfermeiros. De modo geral, os resultados indicam que os enfermeiros se mostram satisfeitos, motivados e autoconfiantes em relação às ações de educação permanente. Os estudos apontam a utilização tanto de métodos inovadores, como simulações clínicas, quanto de abordagens tradicionais no processo educativo. Apesar de reconhecerem a importância da educação permanente na disseminação do conhecimento, na melhoria das relações interpessoais da equipe e na qualificação do cuidado na relação enfermeiro-paciente, bem como sua responsabilidade na busca contínua por atualização, observa-se dificuldade na integração do conhecimento adquirido aos múltiplos aspectos da prática de enfermagem. Tal achado sugere fragilidades no desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico dos profissionais. Conclusão: A educação permanente em saúde configura-se como uma importante oportunidade de aprendizagem e de desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal para os enfermeiros, devendo ser adequadamente planejada e efetivamente implementada nas instituições de saúde. Para que essas ações educativas alcancem resultados significativos, seus objetivos e práticas precisam estar alinhados à realidade das rotinas de trabalho da enfermagem. Somente dessa forma é possível promover a incorporação do conhecimento à prática cotidiana e, consequentemente, assegurar a oferta de um cuidado qualificado e seguro.Yayın Situações críticas: Uma breve reflexão sobre o preparo dos enfermeiros(Scienceduc Eventos, 2026) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraIntrodução: A recente crise sanitária provocada pela pandemia de COVID-19 evidenciou a necessidade de refletir sobre o preparo dos profissionais de saúde para atuar em situações de crise e de desastres. Nesse contexto, destacam-se os enfermeiros, cuja formação deve contemplar conteúdos teóricos e práticos que os capacitem para a tomada de decisões e a atuação em momentos críticos. Objetivo: Fazer uma breve reflexão sobre o preparo dos enfermeiros para atuar em crises sanitárias e desastres naturais. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma reflexão, fundamentada em artigos originais de pesquisas primárias, conduzidas com enfermeiros e publicados em língua inglesa nos últimos cinco anos. Os textos foram localizados na base de dados Scopus, a partir de buscas realizadas em dezembro de 2025. Para a identificação dos estudos, utilizaram-se, como descritores aplicados aos títulos dos artigos, os termos em inglês “disaster”, “knowledge”, “preparedness” e “nurs*”, que correspondem, em português, a “desastre”, “conhecimento”, “preparo” e “enf*”. Resultados: Dos 15 documentos identificados, oito foram excluídos (quatro por não envolverem enfermeiros, três por não se tratar de pesquisas primárias e um por indisponibilidade do texto completo), resultando na inclusão de sete artigos nesta reflexão. As pesquisas foram conduzidas em cinco países: Bangladesh (n=2), Irã (n=2), Iraque (n=1), Jordânia (n=1) e Palestina (n=1). Dos sete artigos incluídos, três foram desenvolvidos com enfermeiros atuantes em serviços de emergência, e três apresentaram delineamento quase experimental, com o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento e o nível de preparo dos enfermeiros antes e após a realização de treinamentos sobre o tema. A literatura analisada revelou resultados heterogêneos, indicando que o nível de preparação dos enfermeiros para atuar em situações de crise varia de baixo a moderado. Evidencia-se que o preparo dos enfermeiros para a atuação em situações críticas deve ser iniciado ainda durante a formação acadêmica, nas instituições de ensino, e mantido de forma contínua nas instituições de saúde em que atuam, por meio de programas de educação permanente. Nesse sentido, compreende-se que métodos de ensino diversificados devem ser implementados, incluindo abordagens inovadoras, como o uso de aplicativos para telefones inteligentes no processo de capacitação profissional. Conclusão: Enfermeiros atuantes em diferentes unidades das instituições de saúde devem receber treinamento permanente sobre a atuação em crises sanitárias e desastres naturais, uma vez que precisam estar preparados para situações que podem surgir de forma inesperada, como ocorreu na recente crise sanitária global causada pela COVID-19. Nesse contexto, os enfermeiros gestores desempenham um papel fundamental no planejamento, na implementação e na supervisão desses processos de capacitação.Yayın Alexithymia, stress, and anxiety among nurses(İksad Publishing House, 2026) Uzun, Hülya; Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraFor the nursing profession, which is based on patient-centered and holistic care, to be carried out effectively, nurses need to maintain a good level of psychological well-being. However, the profession-specific characteristics of nursing and the challenges encountered in practice may lead to the emergence of various psychological problems, particularly alexithymia, stress, and anxiety. Alexithymia, often referred to as “emotional blindness,” is characterized by difficulties in identifying, distinguishing, and expressing one’s own emotional states, and it negatively affects emotional regulation. Stress is defined as a state of tension in the organism caused by internal or external stimuli that disrupt physical and emotional balance. Anxiety, on the other hand, is described as an unpleasant state of distress, often accompanied by various physiological symptoms, that individuals experience during certain periods of their lives. The aim of this literature review is to provide information on alexithymia, stress, and anxiety among nurses. According to the reviewed literature, levels of alexithymia, stress, and anxiety among nurses generally range from moderate to high. Studies conducted in different contexts indicate that these psychological factors are frequently observed in nurses’ clinical practice and may affect both professionals’ well-being and the quality of care provided. However, studies that jointly examine the relationship between alexithymia, stress, and anxiety—particularly among Turkish nurses—remain limited. Understanding the relationships among these variables may contribute to protecting nurses’ mental health, improving their quality of life, and developing effective preventive strategies for a profession that plays a central role in healthcare systems. In this context, it is believed that improving working conditions and providing adequate organizational support will strengthen nurses’ psychological well-being and enhance their capacity to cope with the emotional demands of the profession.Yayın Sharps injuries among nursing staff: A qualitative study(SAGE Publications, 2026) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraBackground: Injuries involving members of the nursing team are not uncommon, with sharps-related incidents being among the most frequent. Previous studies have focused on quantitative outcomes or on healthcare professionals in general, leaving a gap in understanding the subjective experiences and perspectives of nursing staff. This study aimed to explore the opinions and experiences of nursing staff regarding sharps injuries, with the goal of identifying contributing factors, gaps in current prevention strategies, and opportunities to improve occupational safety and injury-prevention practices within healthcare settings. Methods: This qualitative study used a descriptive phenomenological approach and included 38 nursing staff from various regions of Brazil. Participants responded to open-ended online questions between July 26 and September 11, 2025. Findings: Themes emerged: (1) the moment when the injuries occur, (2) factors that trigger the injuries, (3) the period following the injuries, and (4) strategies adopted to prevent new injuries. Twelve subthemes were identified.Conclusions/Applications to Practice:The study addresses a highly relevant issue in healthcare, as nursing staff need to prioritize their own health while caring for others. Although it does not present findings different from previous research regarding the occurrence of such injuries, its importance may lie precisely in highlighting results that remain unchanged. The study also shows that nurses often internalize blame for occupational injuries, viewing them as personal failures rather than system issues. It highlights the need for rigorous monitoring, ongoing training, consistent safety materials, and encouragement of incident reporting to strengthen collective safety and promote a positive safety culture.Yayın Subjective happiness and academic engagement of undergraduate nursing students: A correlational study(Gümüşhane University, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraHappiness constitutes a fundamental component influencing individuals’ lifelong attitudes and career trajectories. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between subjective happiness and academic engagement among undergraduate nursing students. Employing a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design, the study was conducted with a sample of 350 students. Data were collected through the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – Short Form for Students (UWES-S-9 ©) and analysed using PSPP version 1.6.2- g78a33a. The mean subjective happiness score was 5.00±1.17, and the mean academic engagement score was 3.75±1.42, indicating moderate levels. Students aged 30 years and older, as well as those with middle or upper-middle income levels, demonstrated significantly higher happiness scores compared to their counterparts aged 20–25 years and those with lower income levels. Furthermore, students who chose the nursing program out of genuine interest and those who indicated a willingness to choose it again exhibited higher scores in both happiness and academic engagement. A significant positive association was observed between subjective happiness and academic engagement. To enhance students’ well-being, implementing social and financial support initiatives, promoting peer mentoring programs, and facilitating experience sharing activities are recommended. Providing comprehensive information about nursing career pathways may also strengthen students’ connection to the profession.Yayın Kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon ve acil durumlarda sık kullanılan ilaçlar(Ankara Nobel Tıp Kitabevleri, 2025) Askeroğlu, Araz; Güler, Hicran; Askeroğlu, Araz; Yavuz van Giersberge, MeryemYoğun bakımlarda yatan hastalarda hemodinamiğin stabil bir şekilde sürdürülmesi hedeflenir.

Design/methodology/approach – This qualitative study involved 42 Brazilian nurses in management positions, working in various settings across Brazil, who responded to open-ended online questions between January 1, 2025 and February 15, 2025. Findings – Five themes were identified: (1) highlighted leadership styles, (2) difficulties of leading the nursing team, (3)strategies used to solve problemsin the leadership process, (4) learning to lead and (5) making nursing leadership more effective. Research limitations/implications – The study presents important perspectives from nurses in managerial positions on the key role that effective leadership plays in fostering healthy work environments in nursing. Nevertheless, it hassome limitations, including the use ofself-report questionnaires, regional imbalance among participants, potential bias due to data analysis being conducted by a single researcher and the absence of an assessment based on the leader–member exchange framework. Practical implications – Nurses in management positions recognize the importance of empowering team members. Nurse managersshould receive proper education to competently assume theirleadership responsibilities. Originality/value – The study highlights the need to revise nursing curricula to incorporate early and continuous leadership education, supported by ongoing in-service programs. It also emphasizes the importance of fostering team cohesion through open communication, mutual respect and shared goals. Additionally, it is pointed out that upper managementshould empower nurse leaders at all levels and provide regular, constructive feedback to support effective leadership.Yayın Senior nursing students' perspectives on nursing management: A qualitative study(SAGE Publications, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza Ferreira; Dişbudak, BüşraBackground Theoretical and practical classes in nursing management are part of nursing programmes; however, students often state a need for more preparation to apply leadership and management skills in clinical settings, highlighting the need for innovative educational approaches. This gap between theoretical preparation and the practical application of leadership and management skills underscores the importance of understanding students’ views on what constitutes effective nurse management. Aim This study aimed to explore final-year nursing students’ perspectives on the essential skills, practice and attitudes that nurse managers should demonstrate. Methods This is a descriptive qualitative study. It comprises written narratives of 35 senior undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected between 23 November 2023, and 4 December 2023. Descriptive thematic analysis was undertaken. Results Five themes were identified: (1) What makes a successful nurse manager, (2) Perspectives on effective leadership in nursing, (3) Fostering empowerment in the nursing team, (4) Building and strengthening team cohesion in nursing and (5) Effective care delivery models. Students believe nurse managers should take on a more effective leadership role. Conclusions Nursing students’ reflections can be utilised to update nursing curricula, to improve student leadership and managerial knowledge and skills as they enter the workforce.Yayın The relationship between nursing students’ time management skills and quality of life(Ordu Üniversitesi, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza Ferreira; Akbulak, Fatma; Sökün Ayaz, Demet; Dişbudak, Büşra; Avan Çınar, DeryaObjective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students’ time management skills and quality of life. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 103 nursing students from a foundation university. Data were collected between March 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023 using the “Student Identification Form,” the “World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF),” and the “Nurses Attitude towards Time Management Scale.” Results: It was found that 68% of the participants were female, and participants’ mean age was 20.54±1.30. The mean scores for the students were 90.60±12.09 for the Quality of Life Scale and 62.64±19.10 for the Time Management Scale. There was no statistically significant difference between students’ demographic characteristics and the relationship between quality of life and time management. The correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between quality of life and time management (r=-.352, p=0.000). Conclusions: It is important to include topics related to the themes addressed in this study in the nursing curriculum to enhance the quality of life and time management skills of nursing students, emphasizing their importance in practical applications and providing counseling services. Additionally, it should be emphasized that nursing schools should provide education to students on efficient and proper use of technology, as well as the avoidance of excessive use of social media.Yayın Organisational commitment among nurses: A qualitative study(ACHSM, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraObjective: To describe the perceptions and experiences related to the organisational commitment of nurses working in healthcare institutions across different regions of Brazil.

Nesse contexto, as instituições de longa permanência para idosos surgem como alternativas viáveis para garantir assistência e suporte contínuo a essa população. A presente reflexão teórica teve como objetivo analisar o papel essencial da gerência em Enfermagem na garantia da segurança dos residentes de Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPIs). Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em diversas bases de dados (Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, Scopus, PubMed e Google Acadêmico) no mês de março de 2023. As principais ameaças à saúde dos residentes das ILPIs estão relacionadas à ocorrência de úlceras por pressão, quedas e infecções, especialmente, infecções urinárias. Esses eventos adversos estão associados a condições inadequadas de higiene, ao número insuficiente de cuidadores e profissionais na equipe de Enfermagem e à falta de treinamento de pessoal. Diante disso, determinou-se que o papel desempenhado pelos administradores das instituições de longa permanência, e pelos gerentes de Enfermagem, é essencial para garantir a segurança dos residentes. Para isso, é fundamental a implementação de programas de educação continuada, a promoção de um ambiente seguro e saudável, a contratação e retenção de um número adequado de profissionais qualificados, além do estabelecimento de diretrizes e orientações para a prevenção de eventos adversos.Yayın Gerência de enfermagem e qualidade dos cuidados nas instituições de longa permanência para idosos(Editora Scisaude, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza Ferreira; Türkmen, Meryem FeyzaObjetivo: discutir o papel fundamental da gerência de Enfermagem na promoção e manutenção da qualidade dos cuidados de Enfermagem nas instituições de longa permanência para idosos. Metodologia: esta reflexão baseou-se em uma análise teórica fundamentada em uma investigação bibliográfica conduzida nas duas primeiras semanas de março de 2023. Foram utilizadas bases de dados como Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, Scopus, PubMed e Google Acadêmico. Resultados: as equipes de Enfermagem que atuam em instituições de longa permanência para idosos devem ter habilidades e conhecimentos específicos. A quantidade de profissionais de Enfermagem trabalhando nessas instituições também deve ser adequada. Os gerentes de Enfermagem devem estar atentos aos indicadores de segurança e relatar problemas relacionados à negligência. A equipe de Enfermagem deve atuar de forma coordenada com a equipe responsável pelo gerenciamento da qualidade da assistência. Nesse contexto, o papel dos enfermeiros em posições gerenciais é fundamental para favorecer a integração entre essas equipes. Considerações Finais: Os gerentes de Enfermagem que atuam em instituições de longa permanência para indivíduos idosos, devem ser devidamente capacitados para apoiar os demais membros da equipe de Enfermagem para garantir a saúde e o bem-estar dos residentes por meio de cuidados de qualidade.Yayın The impact of unplanned pregnancy on prenatal attachment and subjective happiness(Ataturk University Publications, 2025) Şahin, Ezgi; Yazıcı, Saadet; Yurtsev, EsraObjective: Unplanned pregnancies are a major public health problem that causes undesirable socio‐ economic and psychological consequences for women, children and families in both developed and developing countries. This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of unplanned pregnancy on prenatal attachment and subjective happiness. Methods: This analytical cross‐sectional study was conducted with 342 pregnant women who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of a university hospital between July 2022 and October 2022. Data was collected using the Demographic Information Form, London Unplanned Pregnancy Determination Scale, Prenatal Attachment Inventory, and Subjective Happiness Scale. The data was evaluated using descriptive statistics, as well as pearson correlation and regression analyses. Results: Age, number of pregnancies, pregnancy week, feelings experienced upon learning of the pregnancy, and previous pregnancy loss status all appear to have a statistically significant effect on the prenatal attachment and subjective happiness scale (p<.001). Regression analysis results show that prenatal attachment and subjective well being have a statistically significant effect on the London Unplanned Pregnancy Determination Scale (R2 =0.495). Conclusion: It has been found that unplanned pregnancies negatively affect early maternal behavior and individual happiness before birth. Therefore, it is considered important to provide counseling and psychosocial support to all pregnant women in order to bond with motherhood and ensure subjective happiness, along with prenatal education.Yayın The use and efficacy of an innovative virtual reality application in teaching the mechanism of labor: A randomized controlled trial(Elsevier, 2025) Hüseyinoğlu, Sebahat; Yazıcı, SaadetBackground: In practice, the comprehensibility of physiological events necessitates adequate visu alization. VR can provide a comprehensive learning environment that enhances the understanding of mechanisms and anatomical structures’ three-dimensional relationships, which are difficult to observe from the outside. Nonetheless, evidence supporting its use in midwifery education is scant in the litera ture. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ’Virtual Reality Technology Labor Mechanism Application (VRT-LMA)’ developed for teaching the cardinal movements of the baby during the first and second stages of birth in midwifery education. Methods: The study was conducted in a single-blind, randomized manner. Sixty-one midwifery students taking childbirth courses were divided into experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 31) groups. The experimental group received VRT-LMA, the control group received traditional training. After six weeks, both groups were given a posttest. Results: The post-test score of the experimental group was statistically significant compared to the control group (p < .05). Conclusion: VRT-LMA training helped increase students’ knowledge levels and aided in the retention of information. It will be suitable for supplementing traditional teaching methods.Yayın Viewpoints of nurse auditors regarding the profession: A qualitative study(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraAbstract Purpose – This study aims to understand the experiences of Brazilian nurse auditors in the practice of their profession, exploring the importance, challenges, rewards and strategies related to the occupation. Design/methodology/approach – This is a qualitative descriptive study conducted with 44 nurse auditors. An online, open-ended questionnaire was used. Thematic content analysis was performed. Findings – Five themes were identified: (1) functions of a nurse auditor; (2) skills required for a nurse auditor; (3) learning to be a nurse auditor; (4) advantages of being a nurse auditor and (5) challenges faced by a nurse auditor. Also, a total of 16 subthemes were presented. Research limitations/implications – The study critically examined essential aspects of auditing through the lens of nurse auditors, addressing a relevant topic. However, limitations must be acknowledged, including the use of self-report questionnaires, regional representation disparities, the scarcity of international articles on the topic and potential researcher bias. Practical implications – The study underscores the importance of increasingly integrating nurse auditors into the workforce while emphasizing the need to enhance the capacitation of these professionalsthrough theoretical and practical education. It highlights the significance of educating other multidisciplinary team members about the nurse auditor’s crucial role in fostering teamwork and ensuring the quality of healthcare services. Originality/value – To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study conducted with Brazilian nurse auditors, exploring crucial aspects of auditing from the perspective of these professionals. Understanding the critical role of nurse auditorsinmaintaining and improving healthcare quality can enhance public trust in healthcare systems.Yayın Assessment of organizational commitment among nurses: A cross-sectional study(Türkiye Sağlık Enstitüleri Başkanlığı, 2024) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraThe recruitment and retention of qualified nurses are essential goals for healthcare institutions. However, various challenges can compromise nurses’ commitment. The study is a cross-sectional study conducted with 218 nurses using a sociodemographic questionnaire and an organization al commitment questionnaire and conducted through an online form. Data were analyzed using PSPP version 1.6.2-g78a33a. The sample consisted of 83.5% female participants and 43.1% were between the ages of 26-35. The proportion of singles in the sample was 46.8% and the proportion of those with postgraduate (specialist) degrees was 83.5%. Most participants had only one job (72.9%) and worked in private institutions (62.4%) in São Paulo (45.4%). The majority worked in wards (23.4%), had 1-5 years of professional experience (45.0%), and had been at their cur rent institution for 1-5 years (61.0%). Most participants work daytime shifts (67.0%) with a weekly workload of 40-48 hours (58.7%). The majority of nurses (38.5%) had no intention of leaving their jobs in the past 12 months. Most nurses showed moderate (39.4%) or high (33.9%) levels of or ganizational commitment. Nurses, who had only one job, worked during the day and had no in tention of leaving their job in the past 12 months, had higher organizational commitment scores. Although nurses maintain good levels of commitment even during crises, inadequate working conditions negatively affect this commitment. Healthcare institution administrators and nurse managers should aim to support nurses to strengthen their organizational commitment.Yayın Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of nursing staff: Qualitative research(Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraPurpose: To explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health of nursing team members and to identify the coping measures adopted by them. Methods: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The study involved 42 Brazilian nursing professionals. Data were collected between June and July 2022 and analyzed through content analysis. Results: Three themes identified: (I) Effects of the pandemic on the health of nursing professionals, (II) Major difficulties faced by nursing professionals during the pandemic, and (III) Protection measures adopted by nursing professionals during the pandemic. Also, eleven sub-themes emerged. Participants stated that the COVID-19 pandemic affected their physical, psychological/mental, social, and spiritual health. The lack of material and human resources, increased demand and professional devaluation, social distancing, facing death, insufficient information and the lack of social commitment were cited as the main problems faced by the participants. Nursing professionals resorted to different measures to protect their health. Conclusion: The health of nursing professionals was significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was determined that nursing professionals and health institutions need to be better prepared to face crises. Continuing education should be developed to train nursing staff for future outbreaks better. Health administrators and nurse managers play key roles in safeguarding the physical and psychosocial health of nursing staff by ensuring adequate and high-quality personal protective equipment, offering occupational health training, and establishing psychosocial support programs.Yayın Analysis of graduate theses related to leadership carried out in the field of nursing in Turkish universities(Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi, 2024) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza FerreiraObjective: This study aimed to analyze different variables of graduate theses related to leadership conducted in the field of nursing in Turkish Universities. Methods: This is a bibliometric and descriptive study. The search for the theses was carried out in May 2022 in the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education using “leadership” and “nursing” as descriptors. Results: A total of 48 theses were included. Most theses (45.83%) were published between 2017 and 2022. 66.67% of the theses were conducted at public universities. Almost all the theses were produced by the departments of nursing, nursing management, or nursing fundamentals and management. In most of the theses, the samples consisted of staff nurses. Quantitative approaches were present in all the theses and scales were the most used data collection instruments (56.25%). The most discussed topics were “leadership behaviors” (29.17%), “leadership styles” (20.83%), and “transformational leadership” (14.58%). Conclusion: It is suggested that leadership be more widely discussed across different nursing departments and featured in a greater number of doctoral theses, primarily through qualitative approaches. Nursing students should be considered more as research samples, as it is important to investigate future nurses’ opinions and knowledge about leadership.
