Aim. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of a job crafting intervention program for nurses on their job crafting behaviors, harmonious work passion, and career commitment. Background. Nurses generally work in suboptimal environments with chronic low resources and high demands. Job crafting may be a cost-effective strategy to deal effectively with such environments. However, its effectiveness as a nursing intervention program remains unclear. Methods. An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted at a hospital in Port Said, Egypt. The study enrolled 94 nurses. Participants were assigned randomly to the intervention group (n = 47) or the control group (n = 47). The intervention group had a 2-day workshop, 3 weeks of job crafting implementation, and a reflection session, whereas the control group participated in a 1-day workshop. Data were collected at baseline, 2 weeks, and 3 months after the intervention in both groups by using the Job Crafting Scale, Job Crafting Knowledge Questionnaire, Harmonious Work Passion Scale, and Career Commitment Scale. Results. Compared with the control group, the intervention group experienced a higher level of job crafting behaviors and reported a greater improvement in harmonious work passion, but not in career commitment. Conclusion. Nurses can be trained on job crafting behaviors, which can lead to the maximization of job resources, optimization of job demands, and enhancement of nurses’ harmonious work passion. Implications for Nursing Management. Nursing managers should train nurses regularly on how to be job crafters because it is an effective tool that helps nurses deal with limited job resources and increased job demands and makes them more harmoniously passionate about their work.
Background: Medication error reporting is a critical healthcare issue globally. Although research has established that a just culture is beneficial for raising safety in health care settings, it's less clear whether a hospital's just culture can boost nurses' willingness to report their own medication errors. Aim: This study aims to explore the effect of the hospital's just culture on nurses' willingness to report their own medication errors. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study design was adopted. A sample of 378 clinical nurses employed in Port Said, Egypt, completed measures of the perceived just culture and willingness to report their own medication errors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, point-biserial correlations, and logistic regression. Results: Nurses perceived their hospitals with a low level of just culture, and 55.8% of them were unwilling to report their medication errors. Logistic regression revealed that perceived hospital just culture among nurses increased significantly the odds of nurses' willingness to report their medication errors by 10.7%. Conclusion: Hospitals adopting the just culture boost their nurses' willingness to report their medication errors. Recommendations: Hospital managers at all levels should adopt just culture and implement all of its dimensions as a strategy to encourage nurses to report their medication errors. In addition, nursing scholars should take the responsibility to disseminate the just culture concept in hospitals through workshops, seminars, and educational studies to increase awareness of the just culture concept.
