Dilek Yildirim, Cennet Çiriş Yildiz, Emine Ergin
Nursing and Health Sciences, 2026
Intensive care nurses play a pivotal role in patient care; however, their perceptions and concerns regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in intensive care units remain limited. This study aimed to explore ICU nurses' views on AI to support effective integration strategies. A qualitative descriptive design with interpretive elements was conducted between September and December 2025 in multiple hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. Using purposive snowball sampling, 22 ICU nurses participated in semi‐structured, face‐to‐face interviews. Data were analyzed inductively using interpretive description. Six themes were identified: knowledge and awareness of AI, experiences with AI, impact on nursing care, role in clinical decision‐making, ethical and safety risks, and educational needs and future expectations. Findings revealed that nurses had limited and fragmented knowledge of AI, with mostly indirect exposure. While AI was perceived as having the potential to improve care quality and support clinical decisions, concerns were raised regarding loss of autonomy, data security, device errors, and accountability. Participants also emphasized the irreplaceable role of human presence in care and highlighted a clear need for structured education and institutional support.

Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2026
Aim The study focuses on the effects of workplace violence on certain organisational outcomes, such as job performance, burnout, turnover, and work alienation. Design and Methods The study is a cross‐sectional study. The study was conducted with 400 nurses between June 2025 and July 2025 across Turkey. Results Verbal violence was the most common form of violence experienced both in the first year of professional experience and throughout the career, with the number of reported incidents increasing over the years. In the first month following the violence, nurses commonly reported experiencing stress, anger, frustration, fear, and headaches; in the last 5 years, they reported experiencing frustration, alarmism, stress, anger, and sleep problems. Nurses reported sharing workplace stress with colleagues, managers, and their families, but received support primarily from colleagues and personal friends. Finally, workplace violence decreased nurse performance and increased work alienation, burnout, and intention to leave. Conclusions It provides basic data for the development of preventive and supportive social and managerial plans by determining the workplace violence to which nurses are exposed and its impact on organisational outcomes. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care Workplace violence against nurses is widespread, and its impacts are not limited to the results of this study. Therefore, legal regulations should be developed to prevent workplace violence, social and administrative support should be provided to nurses who are victims of violence, and the prevalence of workplace violence against nurses and its effects should be evaluated periodically. Impact In this study, workplace violence against nurses and its effects on some organisational outcomes were evaluated. The findings provide baseline data for implementing social and managerial interventions to reduce workplace violence to which nurses are exposed and its effects. Reporting Method This study adheres to the STROBE guideline of reporting. Patient or Public Contribution This study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, conduct, or reporting.

Good cultures competency, especially empathy, skills and positive attitudes among nurses promote effective intercultural communication. This can reduce discrimination, isolation, and difficulties in interactions with patients. The current research aimed to investigate the relationship between the cultural competence, empathic tendency, and caregiving behaviors of nurses, also it is the identification of variables that predict maintenance behaviors. The descriptive correlational study was performed in hospitals with a high foreign patient portfolio located in the center of Istanbul province. “The Personal Information Form,” “Cultural Competence Scale,” “Empathic Tendency Scale,” and “Caring Behaviors Inventory-24” were utilized to collect data. The low negative correlation was revealed between the “Cultural Competence Scale” and “Empathic Tendency Scale” scores of nurses ( r = −0.123, P = .011), there was a low positive correlation between the “Cultural Competence Scale” and “Caring Behaviors Inventory-24” total scores of nurses ( r = 0.158, P < .001). The moderate positive correlation was found between the “Empathic Tendency Scale” score and the “Caring Behaviors Inventory-24” total score ( r = 0.262, P < .001). The regression analysis determined that working duration, cultural competence, and empathic tendency explained 20.3% of the total variance in the caregiving behaviors of nurses. The study found positive correlation between cultural competence, empathic tendencies, and caregiving behaviors. Also, the study found negative correlation between between the “Cultural Competence Scale” and “Empathic Tendency Scale” scores of nurses.

Holistic Nursing Practice, 2025
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of online mindfulness-based breathing therapy combined with music on the levels of perceived strain, caregiver burden and burnout in caregivers of palliative care patients. This was a prospective, single-blind, randomized-controlled study. A total of 100 caregivers were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 50) and the control group (n = 50). Participants in the intervention group agreed to 3 sessions of mindfulness-based breathing therapy per week. Participants in the control group agreed to sit in a comfortable position in a quiet environment for 30 minutes for 3 consecutive days. We found statistical differences in groups in strain (P < .001), burden (P = .015) and burnout (P = .039) when comparing intervention and control groups. Mindfulness-based breathing therapy combined with music is a non-pharmacological approach that may reduce perceived strain, caregiver burden and burnout in caregivers.

Journal of Patient Safety, 2024
Aims This study aimed to examine the relationship between work environment and missed nursing care (MNC) in nurses and determine whether profession self-efficacy has a moderator role in this relationship. Design A quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational study design was used to test the study model. Methods The study was conducted with 433 nurses in 2 city hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected between November 2022 and February 2023 using the “MISSCARE Survey-Turkish,” the “Work Environment Scale,” and the “Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale.” Results The participants had a mean Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale score of 66.67 ± 14.37, a mean Work Environment Scale score of 84.96 ± 13.62, a mean elements of MNC score of 1.30 ± 0.73, and a mean reason for MNC score of 3.18 ± 0.78. Nursing profession self-efficacy was determined to be positively related to the work environment of the participants and their reasons for MNC (respectively, r = 0.276 and r = 0.114) and negatively related to elements of MNC (r = −0.216) (P < 0.05). There was also a negative relationship between the work environment and elements of MNC (r = −0.249; P < 0.05). Profession self-efficacy had a significant moderator role in the relationship between the work environment and elements of MNC. Having low or moderate levels of profession self-efficacy moderated the negative effects of the work environment on elements of MNC. Conclusions There is a need for interventions to reduce elements of missed nursing care in nurses. Especially nurses and/or nurse managers may have difficulties in improving their work environment, considering its multifaceted structure. In such cases, administrators can reduce missed nursing care by increasing the profession self-efficacy of nurses. Therefore, profession self-efficacy should be considered in addition to interventions for the work environment to improve care.
