Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and presenteeism among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in tertiary hospitals and further investigate the chain-mediated role of perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy.
Design: This is a cross-sectional survey study.
Setting: Six tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China.
Participants: 590 ICU nurses were recruited from six tertiary hospitals in China for the survey.
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: Presenteeism of ICU nurses was the primary outcome indicator. Transformational leadership, perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy were secondary outcome indicators. The transformational leadership scale, perceived social support, occupational coping self-efficacy and Stanford presenteeism scale were used to investigate ICU nurses through convenience sampling.
Results: The presenteeism score of ICU nurses was 15.46±4.45 (mean±SD), in which the incidence of high presenteeism was 53.90%. Correlation analysis showed that presenteeism was negatively correlated with transformational leadership, perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy (=-0.412 to -0.486; p<0.05). Perceived social support partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and presenteeism, with an effect value of 0.055 (95%CI: -0.102 to -0.012; p<0.001); occupational coping self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and presenteeism, with an effect value of 0.042 (95% CI: -0.074 to -0.017; p<0.001); perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy chain-mediated between transformational leadership and presenteeism, with an effect value of 0.029 (95% CI: -0.046 to -0.016; p<0.001).
Conclusion: ICU nurses' perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy are chain-mediated between transformational leadership and presenteeism. Therefore, to reduce nurses' presenteeism, nursing managers should adopt targeted interventions based on the factors influencing them to improve transformational leadership and enhance their perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy.

Background: Clinical practice in the ICU is critical in shaping nursing students' professional development and enhancing their understanding of patient care.
Aim: This study examined the feelings, thoughts and experiential reflections of nursing students during their initial exposure to the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on their perspectives on the first and last day of clinical practice.
Study Design: The study employed a phenomenological design and was conducted in a province in north-eastern Turkey.

Background: The healthcare sector is a significant producer of greenhouse gas emissions, with intensive care units (ICUs) being major contributors. The environmental impact of medical waste largely depends on disposal methods; proper segregation can enhance recycling potential.
Local Problem: High variability in waste segregation and excessive linen consumption in the burn and polytrauma ICU.

Background: Delirium is a prevalent and serious ICU complication, particularly in elderly or ventilated patients. Accurate assessment is crucial but often inconsistent. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' use of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) may be limited without structured training.

Background: The transfer of patients from intensive care units (ICUs) to general wards often causes significant anxiety, negatively impacting recovery, well-being and increasing the risk of readmission.
Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of 'Nurse-led Transfer Programme with Patient Relatives' on anxiety and haemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVS) who are being transferred from the ICU to a general ward.
Study Design: This monocentric, non-randomised quasi-experimental study was conducted on 150 patients hospitalised in CVS-ICU.
Background: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding has become a widespread global problem, with multi-factorial causes spanning input, throughput, and output domains. In Taiwan, the unique context of universal health coverage and a severe nursing shortage further complicates the situation. The Lunar New Year holiday period is associated with increased ED demand, yet the extent, causes, and responses to post-holiday overcrowding remain unclear.
