Abstract
Background Understanding the factors influencing work engagement among nurses is crucial for ensuring high-quality care and positive patient outcomes. Despite numerous factors associated with nurse work engagement, many were explored before the pandemic, potentially overlooking aspects relevant to the current context. Aim To explore and update factors related to nurse work engagement in the new normal era. Design Systematic review. Data Sources The search was restricted to articles published from 2019 to 2024 in CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and ProQuest, with full English text. The search was conducted from September 13th to 15th, 2023. Quantitative research articles that examined factors related to work engagement were included. Review Methods Data extraction, quality appraisal, and data analysis were performed in all included studies. Manual content analysis method was used to classify and group the factors. Results Sixty-one research articles were included in the final review. Five key groups of factors were generated from content analysis, including 1) individual-related factors, 2) organizational-related factors, 3) job and role-related factors, 4) work-life balance, and 5) work environment. Conclusion Understanding and addressing these multifaceted factors holistically is essential to develop strategies to sustain optimal engagement levels among nursing staff and improve overall patient care outcomes. Further studies are needed to confirm the findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Using self-management interventions in type 2 diabetes care helps to regulate blood sugar levels, reduce caregiver burden, improve health outcomes, and improve expense management. Despite these benefits, the efficacy of self-management interventions for type 2 diabetes care remains uncertain, with studies showing inconclusive results that are open to interpretation. AIMS The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the available data to determine the effectiveness of self-management strategies for individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The search method was restricted to the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Scopus from January 2012 to December 2022. SPSS version 28 was used for the meta-analysis. RESULTS Seven studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria, with 697 individuals with type 2 diabetes included. Six papers were designed as randomized control trials and one as a quasi-experimental study. Meta-analysis showed a significant difference between the self-management and control groups, with a standardized mean difference (Cohen's d) of -0.40, (95% confidence interval [-0.60 to -0.20]), p = .00. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION This meta-analysis showed that self-management interventions in type 2 diabetes patients successfully reduced HbA1c. Self-management improves type 2 diabetes treatment by helping people stay healthy and adapt to their illnesses.

Abstract
Background Some nurses leave their job because of working conditions, which will affect nurse turnover. Patients perceive that those nurses are distrustful, and feel unsatisfied, with patients' complaints about nursing service. This study explored factors about the professional self-concept of nursing students and nurses. Materials and Methods A systematic review of cross-sectional studies followed PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were used from 1982 to August 2020 with the terms "factors" AND "nurse" AND "professional" AND "self-concept." A total of 19 out of 4,349 articles were used for analysis. Joanna Brings Institute critical appraisal tools for the analytical cross-sectional studies were used in this study, and narrative synthesis was used to analyze data. Results Professional self-concept of clinical nurses is influenced by including organizational or job factors, and individual and emotional factors. Job factors consist of organizational support, professional ethic, clinical ladder system, nursing experience, position, and time. Besides, sex, age, marital status, education, health status, healthy lifestyle, and experience were categorized as individual factors. Emotional factors were as follows: interpersonal relationships, spiritual growth, management stress, and self-description. Meanwhile, student nurses are influenced by including personal (degree of study and sex), emotions (emotional intelligence, and interest in the nursing profession), and external factors (nursing courses, peer-mentoring experience, and academic burnout). Conclusions Thus, individual factors and emotions have a vital role in constructing clinical nurses' professional self-concept as student nurses. Improving individual and emotional/personal aspects will positively increase professional self-concept.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to translate and validate the Practice Environment Scale - Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) among nurses in Indonesia. Methods A scale translation and cross-sectional validation study was conducted. The English version was translated into Indonesian, which involved five steps: forward translation, compare the translation, backward translation, compare the translation, and pilot testing with a dichotomous scale (clear or unclear). Thirty inpatient department nurses were involved in checking readability and understandability. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2022 at 17 hospitals across Indonesia, involving 350 nursing professionals. The validity test included structural validity and convergent validity. The internal consistency reliability was tested by Cronbach's α coefficient, item-total correlation, and composite reliability. Results Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed an acceptable fit. The correlation of all dimensions was between 0.70 and 0.88, and all items had item loading higher than 0.6. Convergent validity of each dimension ranged from 0.61 to 0.74, internal consistencies with Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.97, corrected item-to-total correlation ranged from 0.62 to 0.85, and composite reliability of each dimension was higher than 0.89. Conclusions Good homogeneity and construct validity have been demonstrated for the Indonesian version of the PES-NWI, nursing management can use it to measure the work environment.

Abstract
Objectives As the world moves towards a new normal, challenges continue to emerge while simultaneously inspiring us with new solutions. Strengthening the skills of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) to fulfill a wide range of complex roles and responsibilities effectively necessitates refining core competency guidelines or standards. This study aimed to explore the perceived core competencies of Indonesian FLNMs within the context of the post-pandemic era. Methods The study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in a public hospital in Indonesia from January 2022 through August 2022. Seven head nurses with direct experience managing a unit during the COVID-19 pandemic were selected. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and validated by re-listening. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Four main themes of the core competencies developed, including 1) managerial core competencies, 2) clinical core competencies, 3) technological core competencies, and 4) socio-emotional skills/personal traits consisting of the following: be brave, fast, patient, optimistic, consistent, and responsible. Conclusions The findings demonstrate that the managerial and clinical core competencies of the FLNMs must be aligned, while technological core competencies are the mediating component of both. Personal traits are essential for FLNMs as they undergird the other three core competencies and the success of the FLNMs.

Abstract
The "pressure" or "passion" to publish is a common reality in academia. All faculty are required to demonstrate that they are engaged in research and that their work is disseminated in reputable journals. However, writing manuscripts is quite challenging; some papers for publication may take days, weeks, months, and even years. This editorial aims to provide the editors' points of view to assist authors in successful acceptance and publication in an international nursing journal.

Abstract
Qualitative research methods allow researchers to understand the experiences of patients, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Qualitative research also provides scientists with information about how decisions are made and the aspects of existing interventions. However, to get to obtain this important information, qualitative research requires holistic, rich, and nuanced data that can be analyzed to determine themes, categories, or emerging patterns. Generally, offline or in-person interviews, focus group discussions, and observations are three core approaches to data collection. However, geographical barriers, logistic challenges, and emergency conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated the utilization of online interviews, including chatting as an alternative way of collecting data. This editorial aims to discuss the possibility of online chat interviews as an acceptable design in qualitative data collection.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to identify and understand challenges to inform new strategies to increase the COVID‐19 vaccination rate according to involved vaccinators' perspectives in Belitung, Indonesia. Design A qualitative descriptive study design was used. Methods Online interviews and chatting were done among 11 vaccinators for data collection between August 2021 and January 2022. Data were analyzed using a content analysis model. Findings Four main themes emerged, including (1) communication strategies (evidence‐based, electronic‐based, and culturally based communication), (2) cross‐sectoral strategies (collaboration with police, religious leaders, customary leaders, heads of village divisions, and non‐governmental organizations), (3) “picking‐up the ball” system (home visits for elderly and people with disability and school visits for children), and (4) setting‐up priorities (between mandatory vaccines and boosters). Conclusion Despite making vaccination mandatory, the roles of communication, cross‐sectoral innovations, “picking‐up the ball” system, and priority setting may have useful potential to improve vaccination rates. Clinical Relevance The findings may serve as an input to overcome challenges and accelerate the vaccination coverage in Indonesia and beyond. However, further research is needed.

Abstract
Watson's human caring theory is widely used in nursing clinical practice, education, and research; however, further discussion on the application of this theory in administration is needed. The authors in this article aim to substruct Watson's theory of human caring for nursing administration. Major elements of the theory-transpersonal caring dimensions, caring competencies, and caring moments-are presented in a model of substruction that links the theoretical basis to methodology. In conclusion, this theory can be used as a framework or a conceptual model in nursing administration within an organization.

Abstract
Introduction Repositioning practice is an essential pressure ulcer prevention intervention that has emerged in the history of nursing. Numerous terms are employed to indicate its meaning, such as turning, positioning, or posturing. However, there is no available analysis that distinguishes these terms or analyzes repositioning practice attributes. Objective To analyze repositioning practice as a concept of bedridden patients in hospitals by combining methods from Foucault's archeology of knowledge and Rodger's concept analysis. Concept Description Repositioning practice passes through three eras: classical, modern, and research. The repositioning practice is “turn a bedridden patient in a harmonized way and ends with anchor and documentation.” The analysis concludes seven attributes for the repositioning practice: pre-turn, assessment, turn, harmonization, anchor, documentation, and time. The analysis assumes bedridden patients, and assigned nurses on duty are the antecedents. Moreover, the main consequence is pressure ulcer prevention, while patient safety and quality of care are the secondary consequences. Discussion Repositioning practice understanding has grown with time. Each era has added to or removed from nursing's understanding for repositioning practice until it appears as it now. The current analysis expects further development in repositioning practice understanding and applications. Conclusion Repositioning practice is an important nursing intervention and has shown a dynamic movement over history. It is expected that this dynamic will continue in the future.

Abstract
Introduction Stereotyping of nurses still occurs nowadays in Indonesia. Society and healthcare think nursing is a doctor helper service. The public image of a nurse as a doctor's helper is hard to erase. Thus, the nursing development in Indonesia needs to be explored in describing the stereotyping and the nursing conditions in the current situation. Methods The study used a narrative review with 45 sources analyzed and extracted. Results Nursing education has been developed since colonialism. The first time the Netherland Indies built the hospital and they used Babu or a helper as a nurse. The result showed it had a negative impact, which showed as they started to train nurses. They trained male nurses to be Mantri nurses as hulpgeneesheeren (ancillary doctors). After independence, the project HOPE influenced the development of nursing in Indonesia. Indonesian nurses focused on technical aspects and added the nursing process to the education curricula in 1986. However, nurses’ practice culture did not change for a long time because of a lack of research and literature being evaluated during 1990–2010. Indonesia nursing started to increase the education, practice, and research afterward, with specifically the declaration of the Indonesian Nursing Act. It brought nurses into the professionalism of healthcare which the Indonesian government recognized. Then, nurses have faced new problems, including practice and education gaps. Conclusion The development of nurses will increase autonomy and dignity. Increasing education curricula, practice competency, and research impact will change the perspective of society with the support of recognition and education from the nursing organization. In addition, the nursing organization has an essential role in nursing development in each country.

Abstract
The number thirty is often used as the sample size in multiple questionnaires and identified as appropriate for validation of nursing research. However, this is not the best tool or strategy for sample size selection for development and validation, and this often causes immediate rejections of manuscripts. This editorial aims to provide an overview of the appropriate sample size for questionnaire development and validation. The article is the amalgamation of technical literature and lessons learned from our experiences in developing, validating, or adapting a number of questionnaires.

Abstract
"Publish or Perish" is no longer an imagination. On the contrary, it is considered a new reality in nursing education today. All nurse scholars, researchers, faculty members, and students are eager and compete with each other to publish their research works in academic journals. Success in this challenge brings personal benefits, especially for academic reputation and promotion, as well as organizational benefits, such as university ranking and sponsorship. However, despite the advantages of faculty publication, the pros and cons of this topic are on the rise. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the publication-related phenomenon in nursing education, followed by concerns and recommendations for consideration.

Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop and test the causal relationships between alcohol consumption, social support, illness perception, fatigue and functional status among persons with liver cirrhosis. The hypothesized model was developed based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 persons with liver cirrhosis by stratified random sampling. Data were collected at outpatient departments from four public hospitals across three regions in Thailand. Six self-report questionnaires were utilized to collect data from March to August 2020. The developed model was verified via a structural equation modeling analysis.FindingsThe proposed model fit with the empirical data considering from χ2/df = 2.397 (p = 0.061), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.056, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.985, Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) = 0.981, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.048. The model explained 71.30% of the total variance in functional status. Social support was the most influential factor affecting functional status both directly and indirectly through illness perception. Illness perception had a negative direct effect on functional status and a positive indirect effect on functional status through fatigue. Fatigue had a negative direct effect on functional status. Alcohol consumption was found as the lowest influential factor affecting functional status.Originality/valueThis is the first study that explores the characteristics of functional status among persons with liver cirrhosis comprehensively. A causal relationship among various variables found in this study would shed light as important fundamental data for developing interventions to enhance functional status among this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality with high readmission rates. Hospital readmissions for coronary artery disease contribute to rising healthcare costs and are a marker of quality of care. Despite this, prior studies have found that readmission rates vary widely. AIMS This study aims to determine the impact of social support, depression, comorbidities, symptom severity, quality of life and readmission among coronary artery disease patients in Thailand. METHODS A total of 321 coronary artery disease patients from tertiary care hospitals across all regions of Thailand were recruited for this study. Data were analysed using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS The coefficient for social support (beta = -0.22) was found to be significant (p < 0.05), whereas comorbidity, symptom severity, depression and quality of life were not significant. Thus, social support was found to be the most significant predictive factor for readmission. CONCLUSIONS Accordingly, when designing effective nursing interventions, nurses should promote social support interventions for coronary artery disease patients to improve the quality of care, decrease readmission rates and improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test a competence-based human resource management scale to improve managerial competence of first-line nurse managers in public hospitals. BACKGROUND To ensure the high competence of the first-line nurse managers, the competence-based human resource management should be evaluated using the best-fit instrument. However, no instrument has been identified in the hospital setting. METHODS This methodological study consists of three main steps: (1) generating scale items based on literature review and expert interviews, (2) pilot testing of face and content validity and (3) evaluating psychometric properties with 300 first-line nurse managers from 16 public hospitals in Indonesia selected using a multistage sampling. Data were collected from May to December 2017. Principal component analysis and Cronbach's α were used for construct validity and internal consistency reliability. RESULTS The final scale consists of 30 items in five dimensions, which explained 65.48% of the total variance. The dimensions include 'training and evaluation, career planning and development, rewards scheme, recruitment and selection, and appraisal system'. Cronbach's α for the scale was .89, with a range of .85 to .88. CONCLUSION The competence-based human resource management scale is reliable and valid to use in public hospital settings. SUMMARY STATEMENT What is already known about this topic? The concept of competence-based human resource management has been applied worldwide in every organization, and it is applicable to use for developing managerial competence of first-line nurse managers. Therefore, the effectiveness of this management system should be assessed via a valid and reliable instrument. Several instruments to measure competence-based human resource management have been developed, but no instrument has been identified to measure competence-based human resource management specifically in hospital settings. What this paper adds? This study developed a scale designed to measure competence-based human resource management to support improvement of first-line nurse managers' managerial competence in public hospitals. The scale demonstrated sound psychometric properties with acceptable internal consistency reliability, content validity and construct validity. The scale consists of 30 items in five dimensions: training and evaluation, career planning and development, rewards scheme, recruitment and selection, and appraisal system. The implications of this paper: This study expands the basic knowledge of competence-based human resource management as a concept with five dimensions that can be used in nursing organizations, and it can be used in quality assurance systems in public hospitals settings in Indonesia. The scale can be used as a feedback for first-line nurse managers to see the impact of competence-based human resource management framework on their competence and helps to identify which dimension of human resource management needs further improvement. With further research, the scale may be of use in other countries and settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the structural relationships among nurses' occupational burnout, job stress, psychological capital, and perceived support from society. DESIGN A cross-sectional design was performed to collect data from 766 registered nurses in three general tertiary Class A hospitals from March to August 2018. METHODS Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the proposed model. FINDINGS The research data supported the proposed model. Psychological capital, job stress, and perceived social support significantly influenced occupational burnout. Job stress indirectly influenced burnout through perceived social support and psychological capital. The influencing factors accounted for 49% of the variance in explaining burnout. CONCLUSIONS The findings identified structural relationships among the four studied variables. This study provides new information regarding the preventive role of perceived social support and psychological capital, which perform the mediating role between job stress and occupational burnout. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Nursing administrators should provide a healthy work environment, effective psychological capital training, and assistance to reduce nurses' occupational burnout.

Abstract
Background Readmission among patients with myocardial infarction is costly, and it has become a marker of quality of care. Therefore, factors related to readmission warrant examination. Objective This study aimed at examining factors influencing readmission in Thai with myocardial infarction. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with 200 participants randomly selected from five regional hospitals in Thailand. All research tools used indicated acceptable validity and reliability. Linear Structural Relationship version 8.72 was used for the data analysis. Results The findings showed that the hypothesized model with social support, depression, symptom severity, comorbidity, and quality of life could explain 4% (R2 = 0.04) of the variance in readmission (χ2 = 1.39, df = 2, p < 0.50, χ2/df = 0.69, GIF = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.00, SRMR = 0.01, and AGFI = 0.98). Symptom severity was the most influential factor that had a positive and direct effect on the readmission rate (0.06, p < 0.05). Conclusion These findings serve as an input to decrease readmission in patients with myocardial infarction by reducing the symptom severity and comorbidity and promoting a better quality of life.

Abstract
Aim To develop and evaluate psychometric property of quality nursing care scale (QNCS) from nurses’ perspective in the Chinese context. Design A cross‐sectional survey design. Methods This study was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, literature review and interviews were conducted to develop the items. In Phase II, content validity was evaluated by five experts. Construct validity was tested through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) among 302 nurses and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) among 510 nurses from October 2014 to January 2015. Additionally, internal consistency reliability was tested. Results The EFA extracted six factors including staff characteristics, task‐oriented activities, human‐oriented activities, physical environment, patient outcomes and precondition. All six factors accounted for 74.78% of the total variance to explain quality nursing care. The modified measurement model of the final version of QNCS was supported by the CFA with 48 items in six dimensions. The internal consistency reliability of final QNCS was acceptable.

Abstract
PURPOSE Working as a first-line nurse manager requires high managerial competence as an essential component in the delivery of health care. Therefore, factors that influence managerial competence warrant examination. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with managerial competence of the first-line nurse managers using the best-fit model of human resource management framework. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 247 first-line nurse managers from 18 public hospitals in Indonesia participated. Data on managerial competence and its related factors were collected via validated questionnaires. RESULTS The five factors of managerial competence were identified - performance appraisal (β = 0.476, p < 0.001), career advancement (β = 0.425, p < 0.001), recruitment and selection (β = 0.354, p < 0.001), larger hospitals (β = 0.165, p = 0.001), and management training attendance (β = 0.109, p = 0.029), which collectively explained 44.9% of the variance in managerial competence. CONCLUSION Human resource management factors, hospital types, and training attendance have significant roles to improve managerial competence of the first-line nurse managers. Nurse managers should provide routine performance appraisal, career advancement, and transparent recruitment and selection as well as to improve the attendance of management training and learn from larger hospitals for leadership and development of the first-line nurse managers.

The search strategy was limited to 10 years, ranging from January 2009 to December 2019, in Science Direct, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. A meta-analysis was performed using R Studio with the metafor package (Boston, MA, USA; https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/older-versions/). RESULTS A total of 22 studies were included, representing 33,961 nurses. There were 28 factors associated with clinical competence. Of those, 13 factors were significantly supported and included for meta-analysis, grouped into (a) individual-related factors, (b) job satisfaction, (c) bullying, (d) burnout, and (d) specific knowledge. The effect size of those factors ranged from -0.14 to 0.50. CONCLUSIONS Among individual-related factors, salary has the largest effect size on competence and is considered important. Clinical competence is positively affected by job satisfaction, but negatively influenced by bullying and burnout. Although specific knowledge has a large effect size, it does not significantly affect the clinical competence of registered nurses. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It is critical to understand factors related to the clinical competence of registered nurses to maintain quality care and patient outcomes in clinical settings. The findings serve as data to help nurse managers find effective ways to improve the knowledge, skill, attitudes, and performance of registered nurses.

Abstract
Knowing the perceptions of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) regarding their managerial competence is an important step to resolve disparities between their perceived competence and the competencies required for them to effectively function in their roles. Yet, evidence examining managerial competence of FLNMs among public hospitals in Indonesia is sparse. To fill this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study aimed to identify managerial competence of FLNMs according to hospital type and ownership. This study was conducted from January to May 2018 and included a convenience sample of 233 FLNMs selected from 13 public hospitals. We used the Indonesian-First-Line Nurse Managers Managerial Competence Scale (I-FLNMMCS) to measure managerial competence. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn's Pairwise were used for data analysis. Findings showed a significant difference in managerial competence according to the hospital type (p < .05). The FLNMs with a Diploma III, those relatively older, in their position for 7 or more years, and with managerial training in Type A hospitals (larger hospitals) had the highest managerial competence. The FLNMs with a bachelor's degree, those relatively younger, with less training, and those in their position for 3 to 4 years in Type B and C hospitals (smaller hospitals) had less managerial competence. A significant difference was also found in managerial competence according to hospital ownership (p <.05). Public hospitals owned by the Ministry of Health of Indonesia had the highest competence among the others. This study is useful for guiding future policy work for human resource development in public hospitals.

Abstract
Background Much research provides evidence that four age groups or generations of nurse managers exist, and it is assumed that they work and act differently according to each generation's characteristics and attitudes, which may influence their managerial competence. Aims To compare first-line nurse managers' managerial competence according to generational analysis across public hospitals in Indonesia. Methods This study employed a cross-sectional survey in 18 public hospitals in Indonesia with 254 first-line nurse managers selected using simple random sampling. The Indonesian First-Line Nurse Managers Managerial Competence Scale (IFLNMMCS) was used to measure managerial competence. Data were analysed using descriptive analyses using means, standard deviations and independent t-test. Results There was no significant difference in the total score of managerial competence of Generation X and Millennial first-line nurse managers (p = 0.077). Of five dimensions of managerial competence, only applying quality care improvement (p = 0.028) and financial management (p = 0.013) were significantly different, while leadership (p = 0.142), facilitating spiritual nursing care (p = 0.353), self-management (p = 0.130), staffing and professional development (p = 0.068) and utilizing informatics (p = 0.304) were not significantly different. Conclusion This study serves as a foundation for better human resource management, education and professional development for first-line nurse managers among public hospitals in Indonesia.

Abstract
AIMS To establish a model and identify structural relationships between Chinese nurses' perceived social support, self-efficacy, work stress and burnout. BACKGROUND The prevalence of burnout among nurses tends to be high worldwide. A better understanding of relationships between the study variables can help hospital managers apply effective programmes to reduce burnout. However, no studies have identified the structural relationships between these variables in one model, simultaneously. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey to complete questionnaires from 444 nurses working in three Chinese general tertiary hospitals. The proposed model was examined by structural equation modelling. RESULTS The proposed model was partially supported by empirical data. The total effect of work stress on burnout was large. Both work stress and the perceived social support moderately and directly affected burnout. Work stress also indirectly affected burnout through perceived social support. Work stress directly influenced perceived social support and self-efficacy. Perceived social support directly affected self-efficacy. However, self-efficacy did not directly influence burnout. CONCLUSIONS This study validated a model and identified a deep understanding of structural relationships between the selected variables among Chinese nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Apart from reducing work stressors, hospital managers should utilize more social support strategies when designing intervention programmes to reduce burnout.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the managerial competence
scale for first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) in Indonesia. The scale was based on
items derived from an integrative review and interviews with experts. A total of
300 FLNMs from 16 public hospitals were randomly selected for this test of
psychometric properties. A principal component analysis generated seven
dimensions with 43 items as a final scale, with overall Cronbach's α of .95
while the dimensions' Cronbach's α ranged from .71 to .90. The findings
demonstrate that the scale is valid and reliable as a vehicle for assessment of
managerial competence of FLNMs.

Abstract
AIM To clarify the defining attributes of competence-based human resource management (CBHRM) in nursing, its antecedents, and consequences. BACKGROUND A thorough literature review showed multidefinitions of CBHRM, which resulted in confusion in ways of describing CBHRM practice and its implementation in nursing. METHODS A literature review through systematic searches in CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Medline, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Embase, and Google Scholar between 2000 and February 2018 with full text in English. RESULTS The attributes of CBHRM in nursing include recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, reward system, and career planning. Antecedents to CBHRM in nursing include organizational factors (organizational size, culture, the nature of human resource (HR) department, type of organization, and the number of employee), individual factors (HR managers' competence, and top managers' role, intention, and characteristics), and HR policy. Consequences include employee outcomes (competence development, high motivation, job satisfaction, retention, and better performance), organizational outcomes (quality of care, patient safety, and patient satisfaction), and financial outcomes. CONCLUSION This study helps nursing managers and HR managers to understand the concept of CBHRM in nursing comprehensively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying nursing students' plan after graduation is necessary to maintain the profession in line with their nursing education. This study was conducted to explore the career plans of diploma nursing students after graduation and factors influencing their plans. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a qualitative descriptive study using focus group discussion, conducted in Academy of Nursing of Belitung, Indonesia. Twenty diploma nursing students at the beginning of their 1st year of study were recruited. Data were analyzed using content analysis model. RESULTS The plan of diploma nursing students after graduation: becoming a civil servant and its influencing factors (fixed and higher salary, fair remuneration and incentives, and retirement fund); becoming a bedside nurse and its influencing factors (helping others and gaining experiences); and continuing higher education in nursing and its influencing factors (recognition as professional nurse, financial support, family responsibilities, and location of nursing schools). CONCLUSION It is suggested that nurse educators should change the mindset of the students not to focus only becoming a civil servant, and the government should open bachelor program in nursing in Belitung and provide educational support for those who would like to continue studying nursing.

Abstract
Background: Designated roles of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) are very complex, this study aimed to develop a deeper understanding of their meaningful lived experiences. Materials and Methods: This study employed a phenomenological study using semi-structured interviews with FLNMs (n = 7) at the General Hospital of Belitung, Indonesia. The data analysis was thematic. Results: Four major themes were identified from the analysis of textual data: Feeling extraordinary, the inability to do, desire to leave the unit, and influenced by work motivation. The findings of this study revealed the positive and negative experiences of becoming FLNMs. The positive experiences were related to the feeling challenged and extraordinary to deal with many roles in management and leadership. The negative experiences included personal conflict related to the desire to leave the unit, and feeling unable to manage. However, the works of FLNMs were influenced by internal and external motivation. Conclusions: This study better informs nurse executives to develop competence and performance of FLNMs, and keep their motivation by revising performance appraisal system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Explore the characteristics of insomnia in persons with heart failure and identify the predictive factors of insomnia in patients with heart failure. MARITAL AND METHOD A predictive correlational research design was used. Three hundred forty heart failure patients followed-up at heart clinics, outpatient departments of 10 tertiary hospitals from all regions in Thailand, were selected by multi-stage random sampling. Data were collected between July 2009 and January 2010. Research instrument included demographic questionnaire, state-trait anxiety inventory questionnaire, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, dyspnea questionnaire, Berlin Questionnaire, hygiene awareness and practice scale, and dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep and insomnia severity index. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic, Chi-square test, and logistic regression. RESULTS Thirty-two percent of heart failure patients had insomnia. Eighty-one patients had moderate insomnia (23.8%), and 28 patients had severe insomnia (8.2%). Most heart failure patients had insomnia of mixed types (73.40%), including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and waking up too early. Correlated factors of insomnia included the predisposing factors, anxiety and depression, the precipitating factors, marital status, dyspnea, sleep disorder breathing, and the perpetuating factors, sleep hygiene and dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep. After using logistic regression analysis, the predictive factors of insomnia were anxiety, depression, marital status (separated, divorced, and widowed), dyspnea, and dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). However, age, gender,sleep disorder breathing, and sleep hygiene were not significant predictors of insomnia. CONCLUSION Insomnia is a significant problem in heart failures patients. Therefore, healthcare providers need to pay attention to this sensitive outcome. Several factors should be considered for further management.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Hip fracture seriously influences an elderly person’s life and mobility, independent living, and causes earlier mortality. Although surgery is generally successful, many of the elderly suffer from decreased physical ability after surgery for hip fracture.
Objectives: To determine the effects of a physical activity enhancing program (PEP) on the level of physical activity of elderly patients after surgical treatment of hip fracture.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial of 46 elderly patients was conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital from January 2012 to February 2013 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Resnick self-efficacy model (2009) compared with standard care in improving physical activity. The participants were enrolled on a criteria basis and were block randomized into two groups. The intervention group attended four phases of physical training and efficacy based intervention comprising assessment, preparation, practicing, and evaluation phases with face-to-face contact and five telephone calls during seven weeks post-surgery.
Results: Six weeks after discharge, the physical activity of the intervention group increased by significantly more than the control group (F1,43 = 9.63, P < 0.01), with an effect size of 0.18 after controlling for preoperative physical activity. The ratio of the effect on physical activity induced by the PEP was higher than that induced by usual care (65.2% vs. 47.8%).
Conclusion: PEP is effective at improving physical activity. Efforts to follow up for longer periods and with studies using larger populations are recommended.

Abstract
AIM AND BACKGROUND Studies have reported that adherence to medications after hospital discharge for myocardial infarction is poor with about 12% to 20% of patients discontinue their medications six months after discharge. This study aimed to examine the effect of self-efficacy enhancement program on medication adherence in post-acute myocardial infarction patients. METHODS A total 44 patient with post-acute myocardial infarction were recruited from the in-patient department, Police General Hospital. The participants were random assigned into control group and experimental group. The control group received conventional care while the experimental group attended a four-week self-efficacy enhancement program, which included motivation, skill practice, and monitoring skills. The mean self-efficacy score between groups was assessed. The pill count was used to measure medication adherence. Correlations between self-efficacy and medication adherence were examined. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, Pearson's correlation, and t-test. RESULTS The mean score on medication adherence of the experiment group who attended the self-efficacy enhancement program was significantly greater than the control group (t=-2.77; df=21; p=0.01). The mean scores of self-efficacy between the experimental and control group were 35.73 (SD=4.11) and 35.41 (SD=3.78). The correlations between self-efficacy and medication adherence were significantly (r=1.00, p=0.00). CONCLUSION The effectiveness of self-efficacy enhancement program was effective in improving medication adherence in Thai post-acute myocardial infarction.
