Aim This study aimed to investigate the effect of humble leadership on innovative behaviour among Chinese nurses and to examine the mediating role of work engagement in this relationship. Background Nurses' innovative behaviour and work engagement are critical to the quality of health care services. Although research has established that leadership is beneficial for individuals, teams and organisations, it's less clear whether humble leadership could promote innovative behaviour and work engagement among nurses. Methods The data were collected in China. A sample of 377 nurses completed measures of humble leadership, innovative behaviour and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Structural equation model was adopted to verify the research hypotheses. Results Humble leadership was significantly and positively related to nurses' innovative behaviour and work engagement (p < .01). And work engagement partially mediated the association between humble leadership and innovative behaviour. Conclusion Humble leaders are critical to enhancing nurses' innovative behaviour, and work engagement plays an intervening mechanism explaining how humble leaders promote innovative behaviour among nurses. Implications for nursing management Hospital managers should pay attention to improve head nurses' humble leadership, which could lead to a higher level of innovative behaviour and work engagement among nurse.

Exercise training may help HD patients to reduce the severity of RLS, depression, and fatigue. More high-quality RCTs with larger samples and comparative RCTs focused on different exercise regimens are needed.

The rapid growth in the prevalence of risk factors for chronic kidney disease including cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes increased the demand for haemodialysis (HD) therapy around the world (Câmara et al., 2014). In the United States, there were 703,243 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 2015, and 87.3% of those were receiving HD treatment (Saran et al., 2018). In China, over 500,000 patients were receiving HD in 2017, which was approximately twice as high as those in 2011 (Chen, 2018). On the other hand, the mortality rates of Chinese HD patients declined from 5.0% in 2012 to 3.0% in 2017, and the average survival duration on dialysis increased from 31.8 months to 49.6 months (Chen, 2018).

Advanced CKD in rats with adenine-induced chronic interstitial nephropathy results in profound changes in the serum metabolome, activation of inflammatory, oxidative and fibrotic pathways, and suppression of cytoprotective and antioxidant pathways.
