Aims This study aimed to examine the relationship between Emotional intelligence (EI) and intent to stay and to identify their correlates among nurses. Background EI plays a significant role in nurses’ practice, relationships, behaviours and decisions. Methods A descriptive, cross‐sectional study was conducted with a sample of 280 registered nurses working in a public, a private and a university hospital in Jordan. A self‐administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Results EI was significantly correlated with nurses’ intent to stay (r = .427, p < .01). Some of the nurses’ socio‐demographic and work‐related characteristics were found to predict EI and intent to stay. Conclusion The findings of the study came with a supportive knowledge about the positive impacts of EI on nurses’ intent to stay. Improving both EI and intent to stay among nurses is important because it could have positive effects on organisations’ decisions, policymaking process, quality of care, employee commitment and satisfaction. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should pay attention to the EI of nurses during recruitment considering various determinants of EI identified in the current study. Additionally, nurse managers might want to strengthen factors associated with more stay intent among their staff.

To provide high-quality nursing care, we must learn about the transformation experience, expand our sense of who we are and gain a degree of control over how we perform our nursing roles when we move away from our home.

Background Many countries adopt eHealth applications to support patient-centered care. Through information exchange, these eHealth applications may overcome institutional data silos and support holistic and ubiquitous (regional or national) information logistics. Available eHealth indicators mostly describe usage and acceptance of eHealth in a country. The eHealth indicators focusing on the cross-institutional availability of patient-related information for health care professionals, patients, and care givers are rare. Objectives This study aims to present eHealth indicators on cross-institutional availability of relevant patient data for health care professionals, as well as for patients and their caregivers across 14 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong as a special administrative region of China, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States) to compare our indicators and the resulting data for the examined countries with other eHealth benchmarks and to extend and explore changes to a comparable survey in 2017. We defined “availability of patient data” as the ability to access data in and to add data to the patient record in the respective country. Methods The invited experts from each of the 14 countries provided the indicator data for their country to reflect the situation on August 1, 2019, as date of reference. Overall, 60 items were aggregated to six eHealth indicators. Results Availability of patient-related information varies strongly by country. Health care professionals can access patients' most relevant cross-institutional health record data fully in only four countries. Patients and their caregivers can access their health record data fully in only two countries. Patients are able to fully add relevant data only in one country. Finland showed the best outcome of all eHealth indicators, followed by South Korea, Japan, and Sweden. Conclusion Advancement in eHealth depends on contextual factors such as health care organization, national health politics, privacy laws, and health care financing. Improvements in eHealth indicators are thus often slow. However, our survey shows that some countries were able to improve on at least some indicators between 2017 and 2019. We anticipate further improvements in the future.

Building a culture of safety in today's healthcare settings is a critically important issue. Therefore, collaboration is acknowledged as a significant policy method for approaching patient safety and healthcare workforce problems and altering the health system (World Health Organization, 2013). Collaboration has become a crucial element in different healthcare environments, with the end result of improving the standard and health outcomes of patient care (Hughes & Fitzpatrick, 2010). Collaboration is a complicated task involving active communication, individual awareness, and united responsibility in caring for patients (Shohani & Valizadeh, 2017). Ineffective collaboration has established stressful working environments that contribute to work dissatisfaction, poor patient outcomes, and nurses departing the profession (Tang, Zhou, Chan, & Liaw, 2018). In fact, poor collaboration is estimated to be the core cause of more than 70% of major medical incidents (Fewster-Thuente, 2015). Nurse-nurse collaboration is a difficult and multidimensional process that cannot happen by itself. A number of factors contribute to nurse-nurse collaboration, emotional intelligence being a primary factor.It is believed that emotional intelligence is the pipeline for improving the relationships and channels of communication between nurses.
