“…This study finding also revealed that nurses and midwives with a higher workload were 89% less likely to have a higher perception of caring behavior than nurses and midwives with a lower workload. This finding was also congruent with studies conducted in Ethiopia [ 16 , 24 ], and Indonesia [ 43 , 44 ]. Workload was found to be inversely related to all CBI sub-dimensions [ 45 ].…”

“…11 A study showed a significant correlation between nurses' perceived workload and their age, work experience, shift work, and workplace. 11 It has also been shown that high workload and increased working hours affect nurses' performance and caring behavior, and reduce the quality of patient care, [11][12][13][14] and patient satisfaction. 15 Joolaee et al (2009) 16 also reported that socioeconomic pressures and the high workload of nurses might act as deterrents to respecting patients' rights.…”

Background Many studies have investigated the adherence to professional codes of ethics by nurses. However, no study has explicitly examined the relationship between workload and adherence to professional codes of ethics among Iranian nurses. Objective This study aimed to explore the relationships between workload and adherence to professional codes of ethics among a sample of Iranian nurses. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 213 nurses who were randomly selected from the different wards of Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Kashan, Iran. Data collection instruments included a personal characteristics questionnaire, the Nursing Ethics Questionnaire, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index. The Chi-square, the Spearman correlation coefficient, the Kruskal–Wallis, and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data. Results A majority of nurses were females (77.5%), married (79.3%), and permanently employed (55.4%). The mean of the overall perceived workload and adherence to professional codes of ethics were 76.36 ± 13.64 and 13.98 ± 2.58, that were at high and moderated level, respectively. Spearman correlation test showed no significant correlation between perceived workload and adherence to professional codes of ethics ( r = 0.03, P = 0.6). A significant difference was found between the mean scores of adherence to professional codes of ethics in nurses working in different departments ( P < 0.001). Conclusion Participating nurses perceived high levels of workload but their mean adherence to professional codes of ethics was at a moderate level. The perceived workload was indirectly correlated with adherence to professional codes of ethics.

“…Our findings showed that nurses who were working in Emirati ICUs had less workload than those working in Jordanian ICUs, which could explain their higher caring behaviours levels. Numerous international studies have demonstrated that overloaded nurses are unable to provide appropriate or optimum care, including in terms of caring behaviours [ 5 , 6 , 22 ], which is particularly related to stress and burnout issues, which also drive high turnover in the healthcare professions [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Background Advanced technologies in intensive care units, including artificial intelligence and digitization, has implications for psycho-emotional aspects of caring in terms of communication, involvement, and holistic provision in a safe, effective, and efficient manner. Critical care nurses must maintain a balance between their technological and humanistic caring behaviours during the provision of individualized holistic patient care. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine level and predictors of caring behaviours among critical care nurses in two Arab countries. Methods A cross-sectional design was used to achieve the objective of this study, whereby a quantitative online questionnaire survey was administered to 210 adult intensive care unit nurses at two government hospitals in Sharjah (United Arab Emirates), and two university hospitals in Amman (Jordan). Based on G* Power analysis, 200 participants were adequate to run the analysis. Results On average, 49% of the whole sample had ‘good’ caring behaviours. Among nurses who were working in Emirati intensive care units, 48.5% had good caring behaviours, compared to 47.4% of Jordanian intensive care unit nurses. Additionally, the results showed that predictors of caring behaviours among nurses include female gender, holding a master’s degree, interest in nursing profession, and a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio. Conclusions About half of the ICU nurses in this study had low levels of caring behaviours. The present study highlights the requirement for integrating the concept of holistic and patient-centred care as the essence of the nursing profession in nursing curricula to improve the level of care provided by all nurses working in intensive care units. Continuing education programs and specific interventional programs should be directed toward predictors of caring behaviours among each specific group of nurses. Future research is needed using qualitative methods to understand what the perception of intensive care unit nurses is about caring.
