PURPOSE: Staff is essential to the university's efficient administrative operations, which are critical for education, research, and service. Medical schools, often independent, need specialized administrative elements. This study explores how medical school staff perceives the organization using the Six-Box model and evaluates their perceived organizational support, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment based on the concept of job attitudes. METHODS: This study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative data via a convergent parallel design. It simultaneously collects and analyzes data from a survey and consensus workshop for medical school staff. The survey data were statistically analyzed (IBM SPSS ver. 25.0; IBM Corp., USA), and the workshop discussions were subjected to content analysis. The findings combined provide a comprehensive understanding of the medical school administrative system. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis revealed purpose (3.80) as the highest-rated organizational perception and rewards (2.72) as the lowest. Similarly, job satisfaction was highest (3.63) in job attitudes, while perceived organizational support (2.96) was the lowest. Group differences were observed by gender, enrollment capacity, and contract type (p<0.05). In qualitative research, keywords appeared in relation to their experiences within the medical school organization, encompassing doctor training, emotional responses, administrative features, personal attributes, and cultural influences. Overload, faculty issues, and communication gaps are obstacles. Strategies for overcoming these challenges focus on improving staff treatment, resource allocation, training, and communication channels. CONCLUSION: This study was conducted to explore a broad understanding of the administration of medical schools. Findings suggest challenges with workload, communication, and organizational support. We propose a dedicated medical school administrative system, improved work conditions, and enhanced communication.

GOAL: This research aimed to evaluate variations in perceived organizational support among physicians during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associations between perceived organizational support, physician burnout, and professional fulfillment. METHODS: Between November 20, 2020, and March 23, 2021, 1,162 of 3,671 physicians (31.7%) responded to the study survey by mail, and 6,348 of 90,000 (7.1%) responded to an online version. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and perceived organizational support was assessed by questions developed and previously tested by the Stanford Medicine WellMD Center. Professional fulfillment was measured using the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Responses to organizational support questions were received from 5,933 physicians. The mean organizational support score (OSS) for male physicians was higher than the mean OSS for female physicians (5.99 vs. 5.41, respectively, on a 0-10 scale, higher score favorable; p < .001). On multivariable analysis controlling for demographic and professional factors, female physicians (odds ratio [OR] 0.66; 95% CI: 0.55-0.78) and physicians with children under 18 years of age (OR 0.72; 95% CI: 0.56-0.91) had lower odds of an OSS in the top quartile (i.e., a high OSS score). Specialty was also associated with perceived OSS in mean-variance analysis, with some specialties (e.g., pathology and dermatology) more likely to perceive significant organizational support relative to the reference specialty (i.e., internal medicine subspecialty) and others (e.g., anesthesiology and emergency medicine) less likely to perceive support. Physicians who worked more hours per week (OR for each additional hour/week 0.99; 95% CI: 0.99-1.00) were less likely to have an OSS in the top quartile. On multivariable analysis, adjusting for personal and professional factors, each one-point increase in OSS was associated with 21% lower odds of burnout (OR 0.79; 95% CI: 0.77-0.81) and 32% higher odds of professional fulfillment (OR 1.32; 95% CI: 1.28-1.36). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Perceived organizational support of physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a lower risk of burnout and a higher likelihood of professional fulfillment. Women physicians, physicians with children under 18 years of age, physicians in certain specialties, and physicians working more hours reported lower perceived organizational support. These gaps must be addressed in conjunction with broad efforts to improve organizational support.

Objective: This study aims to examine the current status of turnover intention among female nurses with two children and explore the factors influencing their decision to resign, ultimately providing a basis for reducing nurses' turnover intention and stabilizing the nursing workforce. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select 1,370 in-service female nurses with two children from 65 Grade A tertiary public hospitals in Sichuan Province from September to December 2023. Data was collected through a general information questionnaire, work-family behavioral role conflict scale, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and turnover intention scale. Results: This study revealed that the average score for turnover intention among female nurses with two children was (13.11 ± 3.93). There was a positive correlation between work-family behavioral role conflict and turnover intention (r = 0.485, p < 0.01), while regulatory emotional self-efficacy showed a negative correlation with turnover intention (r = -0.382, p < 0.01). The main influencing factors for resignation among these nurses included age, number of night shifts per month, average monthly income, primary caregiver for children, work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, and the ability to express positive emotions (POS), the capacity to regulate negative emotions such as despondency/distress (DES), and the skill to manage anger/irritation (ANG). Collectively, these factors explained 29.5% of the total variance in turnover intention scores. Conclusion: Turnover intention among female nurses with two children is relatively high. To address this issue, hospital managers shall implement effective measures through various channels to settle work-family conflict, enhance nurses' regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and reduce turnover intention resulting from work-family conflict. Together, these efforts will reduce nurse turnover and foster a stable nursing workforce.

BACKGROUND: Efficient utilisation of allied health workforce may help address the predicted shortfall of 18 million health workers estimated by 2030. Knowledge about allied health professionals' attrition, or intention to leave, and factors influencing attrition can assist in developing evidence-informed strategies to mitigate this issue. The review aimed to map attrition and attrition intention rates, and its attributing factors for allied health professions worldwide. METHODS: Adhering to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across academic databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library database) and grey literature (Google, Google Scholar, organisational websites). Two reviewers independently undertook a two-stage screening process along with data extraction using customised data extraction forms. A narrative synthesis was used to synthesise the data. RESULTS: Thirty-two studies published between 1990 and 2024 were included. Attrition rates ranged from 0.5% to 41% across allied health disciplines. Pharmacists demonstrated the lowest attrition rates, while audiologists reported the highest. Radiographers reported the lowest intent to leave at 7.6%, while occupational therapists showed highest intent to leave, ranging from 10.7% to 74.1%. The analysis revealed three recurring themes contributing to attrition: profession-centric factors (e.g., career progression, job satisfaction, support, and professional growth), systemic-centric factors (e.g., compensation, staffing challenges, clinical practices, patient care, workload), and individual-centric factors (e.g., recognition, the need for change, and burnout). CONCLUSION: Attrition in allied health remains a significant challenge. Addressing this issue requires a systemic, nuanced, and evidence-based approach, given the complex, interlinked, and multifaceted factors contributing to attrition. The younger workforce, characterized by changing generational values, necessitates innovative thinking, intersectoral collaboration, and the potential for co-created solutions with, for, and by the allied health workforce.

Job satisfactions have impacts on productivity and essentials provision of care for maternal and child health in the rural area. Despite Health extension workers (HEWs) have pivotal role towards improvement of maternal and child health outcome, there is scarcity of data regarding their job satisfaction, hence this study was employed to assess the level of job satisfaction and associated factors among rural HEW in Buno Bedele Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. A Facility based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 393 randomly selected HEW from May to June, 2023. A pretested; questionnaire was used to collect the data. SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Logistic regression analysis with odds ratio (OR), a 95% CI and P < 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. The overall satisfaction of health extension workers was 45.5%, [95% Confidence interval CI 44.0-46.09]. Availability of residence [AOR = 2.349, 95% CI 1.352, 4.083], transfer between kebeles [AOR = 0.267, 95% CI 0.132, 0.540], availability of medical supply [AOR = 2.853, 95% CI 1.474, 5.523], Good working environment [AOR = 3.395, 95% CI 2.017, 5.717], Getting technical support during work from their supervisor [AOR = 3.656, 95% CI 1.851, 7.219] were significantly associated factors with HEW job satisfaction. More than half of the health extension workers were dissatisfied with their jobs. Availability of living home, Transfer, medical supply, Environment, Support was predictor of job satisfaction. It is crucial to encourage intervention mode that may enhance their satisfaction and motivation of HEWs to improve service provision.

Creativity is one defining characteristic of human species. There have been mixed findings on how creativity relates to well-being, and little is known about its relationship with career success. We conduct a large-scale genome-wide association study to examine the genetic architecture of occupational creativity, and its genetic correlations with well-being and career success. The SNP-h2 estimates range from 0.08 (for managerial creativity) to 0.22 (for artistic creativity). We record positive genetic correlations between occupational creativity with autism, and positive traits and well-being variables (e.g., physical height, and low levels of neuroticism, BMI, and non-cancer illness). While creativity share positive genetic overlaps with indicators of high career success (i.e., income, occupational status, and job satisfaction), it also has a positive genetic correlation with age at first birth and a negative genetic correlation with number of children, indicating creativity-related genes may reduce reproductive success.

Background: This study used a person-centered approach to identify the specific performance of decent work in various groups to determine the heterogeneity of its five dimensions. Method: The Decent Work Scale, Work Need Satisfaction Scale, Socioeconomic Status Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Life Well-being Scale were used to conduct a network survey of organizations in various industries in Mainland China. A total of 1,000 questionnaires were distributed, and 780 valid responses were obtained. Results: The results showed that the decent work of participants could be divided into three types: low salary, low free time, and high decent work. The results showed no significant difference in age among the groups, whereas the differences in socioeconomic status were significant. Welch's test was used to determine differences in the positive outcomes of the three potential types of decent work, and the results showed significant differences in work need satisfaction, job satisfaction, and life well-being among all groups. Conclusion: This study examined the characteristics of decent work more realistically, showing that decent work is not an all-or-nothing structure and that its intrinsic components should be flexibly combined according to the research background and purpose.

INTRODUCTION: Professional caregivers' perspectives on dementia and on people living with dementia (PlwD) can influence their feelings, judgements and behaviours in work situations, for example, how they think about symptoms, disease progression and the impact on a person's quality of life. Their individual dementia mindset, which can be investigated with the 12-item Dementia Mindset Scale (DMS), might influence job satisfaction, work-related well-being and person-centred care. The aim of the proposed replication study is to confirm the results of the original study of the DMS and to test whether a malleable mindset is correlated with higher levels of caregiver education, dementia-specific professional experience/competence and dementia knowledge. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Professional caregivers in residential care facilities for older persons who work directly with PlwD will be asked to answer an anonymous web-based online survey. The survey encompasses five standardised questionnaires: the DMS, the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, the Job-related Affective Well-being Scale and the Sense of Competence in Dementia Care Staff Scale. In addition, job satisfaction, the educational background, professional experience and work situation are surveyed. For replication, the analyses will re-evaluate the psychometric properties (structural validity, model fit, internal consistency and predictive validity) by applying descriptive statistics, regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis. The additional analyses will use descriptive statistics, regression analysis and correlation analysis. Rasch analysis will be used to rank the difficulty of the items. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the ethics committee of the German Society of Nursing Science (ID number 23-004). No personal information will be gathered. The results of the study will be distributed nationally and internationally through peer-reviewed academic journals, conferences, institutional websites and journals for nursing care practice.

Background: The primary public health service system is indispensable for the implementation of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy, and primary healthcare workers, as the key drivers of this system, play a pivotal role in its development and establishment to ensure population well-being. In developing countries, such as China, primary public health systems are still weak, and in order to address this phenomenon, health system reform is needed, and primary public health personnel are crucial to health system reform. The current situation of primary public health workers in low-income and developing countries is characterized by varying degrees of problems that need improvement. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of primary public health service workforce building, analyze the existing problems of the workforce, put forward suggestions for improvement and explore countermeasures, and provide Chinese wisdom and a reference basis for primary public health workforce building in the world, especially in developing countries. Methods: Combining the Work-Family Conflict Scale, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Turnover Intention Scale, a relevant survey questionnaire was designed to quantitatively investigate the baseline characteristics of primary public health service institutions and their staff in four representative cities in the Huaihai Economic Zone: Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province, Linyi in Shandong Province, Shangqiu in Henan Province, and Huaibei in Anhui Province. The collected data were analyzed and processed using SPSS 25.0 statistical analysis software through univariate analysis and logistic regression analyses. Methods such as one-way ANOVA, Logistic regression analysis, and independent samples t-test were used to analyze the influencing factors of primary public health workforce development. Results: The current work intensity at the primary public health level is currently high, the salary and benefits cannot meet the needs of most primary public health personnel, and the competition between work and family in terms of time and resources is pronounced, and the majority of primary public health personnel are dissatisfied with the status quo of "doing more work for less reward" and the poor social security. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a sense of personal accomplishment were positively correlated with the tendency to leave (all p < 0.01), and the burnout and emotional exhaustion of primary public health workers were intense. Conclusion: Primary public health personnel play an important role in providing primary public health services. However, the current working conditions of junior public health personnel in the Huaihai Economic Zone are influenced by factors such as workload, income level, and employment situation improvement, leading to low job satisfaction, significant work-family conflicts, and high turnover intention. In this context, based on the opinions of grassroots administrative departments and internationally relevant experiences, a series of suggestions have been proposed to improve the professional service level, job satisfaction, and occupational identity of staff members. These suggestions make valuable contributions to both the Huaihai Economic Zone and countries worldwide in safeguarding individual health and promoting national primary healthcare reform.

AIM: This study analysed and summarized the correlation between various indicators of ICU nurses' personal lives, hospital work situation, social opinion, psychological assessment, and their intention to resign. DESIGN: A descriptive quantitative study. METHODS: This study was a multicentre questionnaire on factors influencing intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' intention to resign. This study was completed through the Critical Care E Institute (CCEI) and China Calm Therapy Research Group Academic Organization (CNCSG) by contacting ICU nurses in three hospitals in 34 provinces in China. The questionnaire was in the form of a cell phone WeChat scan code. The survey included 22 indicators, including basic information about nurses (marital and child status, personal income, etc.), hospital work (weekly working hours, night shift, hospital environment, etc.), and psychological symptoms. RESULTS: A total of 1904 nurses were included in this study. Among them, 1060 (55.67%) had the intention to resign. In this study, among the 22 indicators involved, 16 factors, including hospital work hours, job title, satisfaction with current income, having children, and evaluation of the hospital, significantly impact nurses' intentions to resign (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that six indicators influenced nurses' choice of resignation intention (all p < 0.05), including hospital work time, professional title, income satisfaction, hospital work pride, satisfaction of nurses with the compassion and care given to them by their hospitals, and career vision score. The ROC curve showed that all six indicators were <0.70, but the model receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve constructed for the indicators was 0.756. In China, increasing the income of ICU nurses, fostering pride in hospital work, reducing working hours, ensuring smooth promotion processes, and enhancing career prospects can all decrease their likelihood of choosing to resign. Absorbing practical nursing management and work experience from other countries will help decrease the intention to resign within this group. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.

BACKGROUND: Limited research is available regarding the professional quality of life experiences of South African speech-language therapists and audiologists, despite the implications this has for wellbeing, quality of patient care, productivity and attrition from the professions. OBJECTIVES: This study explored levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, the relationships between these, differences on the basis of registration and years of experience and participants' perceptions of their professional quality of life. METHOD: A sample of 92 South African speech-language therapists and audiologists completed an online survey that included the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variation (ANOVA), correlations and thematic analysis. RESULTS: The findings indicated that participants experienced slightly higher levels of secondary traumatic stress and burnout and slightly lower levels of compassion satisfaction than international samples. There were significant inter-relationships between the three elements of professional quality of life, and no significant differences for these on the basis of registration or years of experience. Participants identified a range of factors that contributed to their experiences of compassion satisfaction and fatigue, as well as suggestions for improvement. CONCLUSION: Professional quality of life plays an important role in South African speech-language therapists and audiologists' professionalism, job performance and satisfaction and retention.Contribution: The data collected provide valuable insights into the professional quality of life experiences of South African speech-language therapists and audiologists, as well as those working in similar contexts. It also offers suggestions that may contribute to future research and interventions.

BACKGROUND: Healthcare professionals' job satisfaction is a critical indicator of healthcare performance, pivotal in addressing challenges such as hospital quality outcomes, patient satisfaction, and staff retention rates. Existing evidence underscores the significant influence of healthcare leadership on job satisfaction. Our study aims to assess the impact of leadership support on the satisfaction of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and administrative staff, in China's leading hospitals. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted on healthcare professionals in three leading hospitals in China from July to December 2021. These hospitals represent three regions in China with varying levels of social and economic development, one in the eastern region, one in the central region, and the third in the western region. Within each hospital, we employed a convenience sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey involving 487 healthcare professionals. We assessed perceived leadership support across five dimensions: resource support, environmental support, decision support, research support, and innovation encouragement. Simultaneously, we measured satisfaction using the MSQ among healthcare professionals. RESULTS: The overall satisfaction rate among surveyed healthcare professionals was 74.33%. Our study revealed significant support from senior leadership in hospitals for encouraging research (96.92%), inspiring innovation (96.30%), and fostering a positive work environment (93.63%). However, lower levels of support were perceived in decision-making (81.72%) and resource allocation (80.08%). Using binary logistic regression with satisfaction as the dependent variable and healthcare professionals' perceived leadership support, hospital origin, job role, department, gender, age, education level, and professional designation as independent variables, the results indicated that support in resource provision (OR: 4.312, 95% CI: 2.412 â¼ 7.710) and environmental facilitation (OR: 4.052, 95% CI: 1.134 â¼ 14.471) significantly enhances healthcare personnel satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The findings underscore the critical role of leadership support in enhancing job satisfaction among healthcare professionals. For hospital administrators and policymakers, the study highlights the need to focus on three key dimensions: providing adequate resources, creating a supportive environment, and involving healthcare professionals in decision-making processes.

AIM: To investigate the current state and influencing factors of core competence of oncology specialist nurses as well as the relationship between core competence and perceived professional benefits. DESIGN: A cross-sectional correlational survey. METHODS: This questionnaire survey was conducted with oncology specialist nurses working in a Grade III A (tertiary) Public Cancer Hospital in Jinan, China in March 2021. Based on informed consent, a convenience sampling of 350 nurses participated in the study, with 322 valid questionnaires collected. Using IBM SPSS21.0, the data were analysed to perform descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple stepwise regression analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS: The overall average score of nurses' core competence was 224.28 ± 7.95, a medium level and the overall average score of their perceived professional benefits was 132.99 ± 5.05. Nurses' core competence was positively correlated with perceived professional benefits. The differences in professional title, education, working years and perceived professional benefits were statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that nurses' perceived professional benefit is an important factor affecting core competence. Nursing managers who take main responsibility for the quality of care should adopt measures to increase perceived professional benefits, which not only promote nurses' job satisfaction and happiness, but also enhance the development of their core competence and the quality of cancer care as well. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: All participants contributed to the conducting of this study by completing self-reported questionnaires.

BACKGROUND: The relationship between a nurse and a patient is a key part of nursing that can impact how happy the patient is with the care they receive. It appears that the nurse's mental health can also affect this connection. However, there is little research on this topic. So, the aim of the present study was to determine the correlation of nurse's mental health with nurse-patient relational care and nursing care satisfaction. METHODS: A total of 532 nurses and 532 patients from 13 Level-III hospitals of Hubei province (China) completed a China Mental Health Survey, general information questionnaire, the Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale, and Relational Care Scale. RESULTS: Age, nurse working years, and night shift last month were correlated with mental health score (r = -0.142, r = -0.150, r = 0.164, p < 0.05). Nurse's mental health was correlated with relational care score and nursing care satisfaction score (r = -0.177, r = -0.325, p < 0.05). Also, relational care score, patients age and gender were correlated with nursing care satisfaction score (r = 0.584 and r = 0.143, x2 = 11.636, p < 0.05). Descriptive information of nurses had a direct impact on nurses' mental health (direct effect = 0.612, 0.419-0.713). Nurses' mental health had a direct effect on relational care score (direct effect = 0.493, 0.298-0.428) and an indirect effect on nursing care satisfaction score (indirect effect = 0.051, 0.032-0.074). Relational care score and patient's descriptive information had also a direct effect on nursing care satisfaction score (direct effect = 0.232, 0.057-0.172 and 0.057, 0.347-0.493). CONCLUSION: This study showed that the better the mental health of nurses, the more patients feel satisfied with nursing services.

PROBLEM/BACKGROUND: Midwifery retention is a global issue, but less is known regarding what motivates midwives' intention to stay or leave within individual organisations. In 2021, NHS England funded maternity organisations to employ retention midwives. To date, the impact of these roles has not been evaluated. AIM: To explore the views of midwives regarding their intentions to leave or stay within one English organisation and to provide insights into the perceived impact of the role of retention midwives. METHODS: An instrumental case study was carried out in one organisation. Data a mixed methods survey (n=67/91) and interview data (n=7). Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics; qualitative data using thematic analysis. All data was synthesised together. FINDINGS: The three themes included 'Values-based tensions: The eroding role of the midwife'; 'Discerning differences: Intentions to leave or stay'; 'Retention midwives: Activities and impact'. DISCUSSION: We found that there was a clear link between midwives' intention to leave or stay and their workplace roles; specialist midwives were more likely to stay, report satisfaction, autonomy, and feel a sense of contribution or effectiveness in their role compared to those in other roles. The retention midwives were making a positive difference to midwives' experience of the workplace. CONCLUSION: Midwives working within the same organisation have different experiences of their role and job satisfaction. Future work should consider applying the positive elements of the specialist roles to the wider midwifery workforce to enhance retention. The retention midwife role shows promise, but further evaluation is required.

AIM: Despite the serious consequences of exposure to high job demands for nursing staff, few studies have identified pathways that could reduce the influence of high job demands on burnout. The current study aimed to exaime whether a stress mindset mitigates the positive relationship between job demands and burnout. DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey was adopted and data were collected employing self-report questionnaires. METHODS: A convenience sample of 676 nurses recruited from six regional hospitals in China were invited to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Psychological Job Demand Scale, the Stress Mindset Scale and the Burnout Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and simple slope analysis were used to examine the moderating role of stress mindset. RESULTS: Higher job demands were positively linked to burnout, and stress mindset was negatively linked to burnout. Stress mindset moderated the positive relationship between job demands and burnout. Specifically, compared to nurses with a stress-is-debilitating mindset, the relationship will be smaller for nurses holding a stress-is-enhancing mindset. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS: Based on these findings, nursing leaders should foster nurses' stress-is-enhancing mindset, which can ameliorate the adverse effect of job demands.

Turnover intention research with the addition of independent variables of work-life balance and work stress in nurses with health backgrounds is rarely found in type c public hospitals in Karawang city, where literature about this research needs to explain it. This research aims to ascertain how work-life balance, workplace stress, and work-family conflict affect nurses' intentions to quit their jobs by using job satisfaction as a mediator. The sampling for this study was carried out using the probability sampling method known as proportionate stratified random sampling. A total of 550 nurses from 4 schools submitted responses. Work-life balance, work-related stress, and job happiness all significantly influence the likelihood of turnover. The desire to increase or reduce hospital turnover is significantly influenced by work-life balance, stress at work, and work-family conflict. This study has limitations that can lead to imperfect conclusions because the sample used is only the nurse division, so this study can only be generalized to some other districts. The variables studied still need to be reviewed to affect turnover intention by mediating job satisfaction.

BACKGROUND: Mentoring in academic nursing facilitates the acclimation of nurse faculty into academia, supports career development, and improves faculty satisfaction and retention. While studies have examined the characteristics of effective mentors, few have examined institutional influences on academic mentoring for faculty. PURPOSE: To identify institutional factors that support or hinder faculty-to-faculty academic mentoring from the perspectives of experienced nurse faculty mentors. METHOD: A qualitative descriptive approach was used to identify institutional factors that impact academic mentoring. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with experienced nurse faculty (n = 24) about their mentoring experiences. Remarks related to institutional factors were analyzed using conventional content analysis. RESULTS: Five institutional factors that supported mentoring were identified: (1) support of unit leaders, (2) established processes and policies, (3) mentoring development opportunities, (4) faculty-to-faculty support, and (5) faculty rewards. Six institutional factors that hindered mentoring were identified: (1) lack of support of unit leaders, (2) limited mentoring development opportunities, (3) heavy workloads that restrict mentoring, (4) limited pool of mentors, (5) inadequate faculty rewards for mentoring, and (6) limited oversight of faculty mentoring. CONCLUSION: The identification of institutional factors that support or hinder mentoring can inform academic leaders and program administrators in their efforts to strengthen mentoring.

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 outbreak emerged as a dual threat, effecting both the physical and mental well-being of healthcare staff. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), levels of anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), and the significant influencing factors during COVID-19 pandemic in 284 workers in a medical call center in January 2021. MATERIAL AND METHODS Out of 443 pre-hospital care providers, 284 consented to participate. Data collection was done using an introductory information form, the PSQI for sleep quality, and the HADS for anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). Surveys were hosted on an online survey website and distributed via WhatsApp, with completed forms retrieved from the website. RESULTS Male sex (P=0.0001) and extended working hours in current workplace (P=0.017) were associated with higher HADS-A scores. Health problems, increased need for mental support, and poor job satisfaction correlated with lower HADS-D scores (P=0.025, P=0.005, P=0.0001, respectively) and higher PSQI scores (P=0.008, P=0.009, P=0.008, respectively). A moderately significant positive correlation was found between overall sleep quality and HADS-A (P=0.001, r=0.538) and HADS-D scores (P=0.001, r=0.493). CONCLUSIONS The pandemic significantly impacted the mental health and sleep quality of frontline healthcare personnel, necessitating the identification and mitigation of adverse psychosocial factors. Implementing and evaluating psychoeducational programs and establishing multidisciplinary mental health teams can provide for essential support and counseling, promoting the well-being of healthcare staff and ensuring effective emergency care.
