Article Abstract
Background: Developing a strong professional identity is crucial to helping nursing students pursing nursing career. Stress and coping are two factors that may influence professional identity. The relationship between nursing interns' professional identity, coping, and perceived stress, however, has not received much attention in the literature. This study aimed to examine the role of coping as a mediator in the relationship between perceived stress and professional identity among nursing interns.
Methods: In September 2020, a cross-sectional study was done at a Chinese medical university. Data were collected online from 213 nursing interns via convenience sampling using the personal characteristics questionnaire, the professional identity scale for nursing students, the stress rating scale for nursing students in practice and the simplified coping style questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis, and a bootstrap approach with SPSS Process macro were adopted to examine the mediating role of coping on perceived stress and professional identity.
Results: The overall mean score for nursing interns' professional identity was 3.30 ± 0.51. Perceived stress was negatively correlated with professional identity (r = -0.217, p < 0.01), and positively correlated with positive coping style (r = 0.168, p < 0.05). Positive coping style was positively correlated with professional identity (r = 0.177, p < 0.01). Positive coping style acted as a mediator between perceived stress and professional identity among nursing interns.
Conclusion: This study showed that nursing interns had a medium level of professional identity and the negative influence of stress perceived by nursing interns on their professional identity might be buffered by the increased use of positive coping style. Therefore, coping training programs should be developed to help mitigate the negative impact of stress on the professional identity of nursing interns in clinical practicum.

Objectives: To explore experiential education (EE) and preceptor development experts' perceptions of priorities for preceptor development aimed at supporting learner professional identity formation (PIF) and create a framework for preceptor development to inform future preceptor training programs.
Methods: This multi-component study involved: 1) conducting virtual focus groups of EE and preceptor development experts to explore perceived preceptor development needs, including content and learning outcomes, 2) utilizing a modified nominal group technique (NGT) to identify priorities for preceptor development and 3) creating a preceptor development framework for supporting learner PIF. Transcripts were analyzed to identify specific content areas of focus and practical program insights.

Introduction: Radiographers in low-resource settings like Ghana often operate in environments with limited access to radiologists, resulting in informal involvement in image interpretation tasks despite a lack of formal recognition or training. Preliminary Image Evaluation (PIE), where radiographers provide initial comments on X-ray images have been successfully implemented in other countries. This study explored the perspectives of Ghanaian radiographers on PIE involvement.

Distributed Response to Distributed Intervening: Making Sense of Public Digitalization Through Digital Support.

Communication and interaction with public authorities and healthcare professionals in Denmark primarily go through digital self-service platforms, requiring diverse skills and device access. In this article, we describe how senior citizens in Denmark handle and make sense of public digitalization through different forms of digital support. Through an ethnographic study of community-led initiatives of digital support, we highlight how senior citizens find socio-technical ways of managing digital obligations and argue that citizens' digital agency in day-to-day interactions with public digitalization relies heavily on distributed socio-material relations.
