Article Abstract
Background: Nurse engagement and retention are critical issues affecting the quality of healthcare. Although the work environment is known to affect nursing performance and patient outcomes, little is known regarding the impact of this environment on nurse burnout and future work intention, especially in non-Western settings.
Purpose: This study explored the extent to which Taiwanese nurses' perceptions of their practice environment mediates burnout levels and intention-to-stay.
Methods: This descriptive, correlational study, conducted between September and December 2020, recruited nurses employed at a regional teaching hospital located in a relatively rural region in Taiwan. The participants completed standardized questionnaires, including a demographic information form, the 31-item Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), and the 6-item Intention-to-stay (ITS) scale. The mediating effect among the variables related to intention-to-stay was examined using Model 4 of the PROCESS macro and tested using the bootstrapping method (repeated 5,000 times) with a p value < .05.
Results: The mean age of the 376 participants was 34.3 years (SD = 8.1). Nearly one-third (30.3%) scored > 27 on the emotional exhaustion subscale of the MBI-HSS, indicating they were "highly burned-out". Also, nearly one-third (30.6%) were uncertain about their intention to stay with their current employer. Burnout was associated with intention-to-stay (β = -.088, p < .001), and holding a positive perception toward their practice environment was shown to mediate the relationship between burnout and intention-to-stay (β = -.015; p < .001).
Conclusions / Implications For Practice: Targeted interventions and technical support that promote a collaborative climate and psychological empowerment in clinical practice may alleviate burnout and intention-to-leave in nurses and improve workplace quality.

Background: Chest radiography is often performed preoperatively as a common diagnostic tool. However, chest radiography carries the risk of radiation exposure. Given the uncertainty surrounding the utility of preoperative chest radiographs, physicians require systematically developed recommendations.

Premastication, or pre-chewing, of food as a feeding practice for infants has been practiced across cultures as an ancient evolutionary method. Whilst literature on the topic remains slim, the majority of existing research has highlighted the potential risks, such as transmission of infections. Although the concerns are valid, potential beneficial aspects have, until now, received less attention.

Background: Children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face structural and psychological barriers in accessing medical care, including economic costs, long wait times, and stress of attending new medical environments. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services to overcome these challenges. However, few studies have assessed the satisfaction levels of children and adolescents diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders and their caregivers when they use telepsychiatry, particularly in Japan.

Background: Evidence suggests that women should eat a healthy diet during pre-conception and pregnancy as this benefits their own health as well as reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases in offspring (such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and mental health problems); however, previous work indicates that the recommendations are not being followed. This study aimed to understand: the facilitators and barriers to healthy food and diet practices during pre-conception and pregnancy; how these barriers could be addressed, and the changes required to facilitate good food practices.
Methods: The research used a qualitative approach; five online focus groups were undertaken with 19 women living across the UK who were trying to conceive, pregnant or had babies under 6-months old.
