Second-Victim Phenomenon
All in health care are at risk of involvement in adverse events. Oftentimes, the health care worker manifests physical, psychological, and professional effects and this is referred to as the second-victim phenomenon.

Opportunities for Nurses to Decrease the Stigma Associated with Housing Instability and Homelessness
The number of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in the United States has increased in the past 5 years. PEH have a higher disease burden and early mortality compared to people who are housed. Stigma adds to the burden of disease and disease management for PEH. In this article the authors review stigma, define housing and homelessness, describe the health and health care disparities PEH experience, and using the socio-ecological model as a framework, offer opportunities for nurses to intervene in efforts to decrease the stigma that PEH and housing instability encounter to improve health outcomes.

In the ever-evolving landscape of health care, understanding and embracing the culture of various populations has become an indispensable facet of nursing practice. The field of nursing has undergone a profound transformation in recent years, transcending its traditional boundaries to become a global endeavor. As nurses, we find ourselves caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with their unique beliefs, traditions, and values. The fabric of health care is intricately woven with the threads of culture, and our ability to provide compassionate and effective care hinges on our mastery of what we term "the cultu...

Bring Discussions on the Culture of Care in Nursing to the Forefront
It is often said, “nursing is a caring profession,” But what exactly does that mean? Jean Watson, in the Theory of Human Caring,1 defines caring as values, a will, and a commitment to care, knowledge, caring actions, and consequences. However, there is more to caring than such a sterile definition. How caring is expressed will vary greatly by the nature of the situation at hand. The loss of a child will elicit a very different response than failing a nursing school pharmacology exam. An executive in the C-suite of a major health system will spend a different amount of time asking about how things are at hom e than a da...

Cultural Humility and Diversity in Nursing Academia
Nursing academicians are positioned at a critical juncture to mold the future generations of nursing with the skills of cultural humility, starting with fostering humility in the classroom. The dynamic culture of nursing education, with consideration of the diversity of nursing students and faculty, commands attention before the exploration of what is taught about the culture of patients. Classroom cultural humility must become the “brave space” of nursing academia. This is possible with strategic approaches and revisiting the history of the culture of nursing education before trying to shape its future. (Source: Nursi...

Strategies for Developing a Nurturing Environment for the next Generation of Nurses
With the introduction of more complex health conditions and the changing landscape of the healthcare infrastructure, burnout is increasingly becoming a crisis for the nursing profession and for the public. Recruitment in nursing must consider the concept of a nurturing environment as a key driver of sustainability within the profession. Human beings cannot flourish in hostile and unwelcoming environments. Failure to thrive in nursing is a real phenomenon that is driven by multiple factors, including incivility, workplace bullying, and lack of support. Mitigation requires intentional, strategic interventions toward building...

A Cultural Humility Approach to Inclusive and Equitable Nursing Care
The nursing workforce does not represent the diversity of patients in their care. Nursing students historically have been taught cultural competence, with a core value for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but health inequities remain a problem. Cultural humility goes beyond cultural competency, offering nurses a perpetual learning role from the individual patients in their care. The concept of cultural humility also offers bedside nurses a way to overcome implicit and explicit bias through self-awareness and active listening, but it may not be well understood.
