Language tests and tests of competence for registration purposes - a scoping review of the experiences of overseas nurses
CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review demonstrates there is a lack of robust research evaluating the effectiveness of tests of competencies. The review indicates there is no due acknowledgement of the previous skills and knowledge of the overseas nurses. Future research should focus on exploring the feasibility of tests of competence and its role in the integration of the nursing workforce.PMID:38421736 | DOI:10.1080/10376178.2024.2318360 (Source: Contemporary Nurse)

Exploring the role of personality, perfectionism, and self-compassion on the relationship between clinical decision-making and nurses' wellbeing
CONCLUSION: Findings highlight the role of individual differences when looking at the impact of clinical decision-making upon nurses' wellbeing and offers explanation for any variance in moral distress experience across nursing professionals. This research identifies fundamental differences between junior and senior nurses in relation to clinical decision-making and self-compassion that should be considered in future research.PMID:38408166 | DOI:10.1080/10376178.2024.2319845 (Source: Contemporary Nurse)

Environments that promote recovery in acute care mental health: nursing perspectives explored through interpretative description
CONCLUSION: A recovery-oriented environment was described as a safe, peaceful and holistic environment with adequate space to balance needs for privacy, interaction and activity. This environment is fostered through respectful communication and healthy relationships among team members, patients, family and formal supports. These nurses had the knowledge, skill and desire to promote recovery-oriented environments, yet resources such as leisure activities and group therapy were required to promote personal recovery.PMID:38386865 | DOI:10.1080/10376178.2024.2319849 (Source: Contemporary Nurse)
