“…41 Additional research is needed in how educators and leaders may help nurses connect with their own professional obligations as outlined in both the ANA and ICN Code of Ethics. Nursing curricula may not adequately prepare nurses for self-care and health promotion 42,43 nor help nurses reflect on how they are related to our professional Code of Ethics. Attempts to incorporate health promotion and self-care in nursing curricula have focused on exercise, diet, and programs designed to enhance mental health and resilience.…”

“…Attempts to incorporate health promotion and self-care in nursing curricula have focused on exercise, diet, and programs designed to enhance mental health and resilience. [42][43][44] Expanding the notion of self-care to incorporate a deeper understanding of evidence based disease prevention strategies within the context of community/population health may also be of benefit with guided self-reflection of one's own health preventive behaviors.…”

“…Embedding didactic, reflective and experiential elements of self-care and health promotion across a curriculum has shown benefit. 42 However, methods that help students examine professional standards as they relate to self-care and health promotion need to be explored further. As we move forward, it behooves nurse educators and leaders to explore ways they can help students and nurses uphold their professional expectations and support them in fulfillment of this obligation, recognizing that a healthy workforce is key to healthy work environment.…”

Aim: To characterize nurses' engagement in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention promoted personal protective behaviors (PPBs) outside the work setting during the COVID-19 pandemic and factors that inform engagement in these behaviors. Background: Nurses' health is of vital importance to the functioning of the healthcare system. Little is known as to what informs nurses' use of PPBs outside the work setting.

“…Currently, multiple efforts are being made to improve the health of caring professionals [ 46 , 47 ]. However, there are still few studies on nursing students’ health behaviours about self-care [ 48 , 49 , 50 ] despite the fact that these are the next generation of employees in the health system [ 51 , 52 ]. In addition, it is interesting to analyse the process, which relates self-care with the SMH during the studying years, because a powerful SOC seemingly leads to appropriate self-care [ 53 ].…”

Background: Effective advocacy on self-care and the enhancement of a sense of coherence among nurses don’t only benefit control over one’s health and personal performance, but it may have a direct impact on clinical care and on the entire healing system. In this regard, nursing curricula grounded on a salutogenic model of health (SMH) operate with strategies to engage students in self-care and contribute to improving their mental health and wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between self-care agency and a sense of coherence as dependent variables and the age and self-reported academic performance as independent variables in nursing assistant students. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, data were collected from a full sample of 921 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Spanish students. A self-administered questionnaire, including sociodemographic variables, the ‘appraisal of self-care agency’ (ASA), and the ‘sense of coherence’ (SOC) constructs, was administered. Results: Results: Older participants presented significantly stronger values of both constructs. Apart from a significant and positive correlation between ASAS and SOC, ANOVA analyses indicate signif-icant differences in terms of academic performance according to different ASAS and SOC de-grees. Conclusion: The findings of this study endorse the assumption that there is a consistent relationship between ASA and SOC constructs that might, indeed, have a potential effect on stu-dents’ academic performance. In practical terms, it seems relevant to try to recognise the stu-dents’ self-care agency and the sense of coherence as forceful predictive variables of mental health and wellbeing, in addition to academic success as a strength implied in the future career achievement.

“…Professional nursing has the fundamental purpose of promoting self-care and fostering well-being among their patients and health service’s users, as it is related to increasing nurses’ effectiveness and also influence positive patient care outcome. In addition, delivering own self-care activities will increase nurses’ resiliency and may directly impact clinical care [ 13 , 14 ]. Because professional care-giving relationship serve as role model for the patients and families involved in those operations.…”

The core implication of nursing professionals’ labor is promoting self-care and foster well-being among healthcare service users. The beginning of the healing process starts with the provider, and self-care habits are needed to positively impact on patients’ care outcomes at different spheres. Overall, current literature supports the idea that nurses’ personal self-care should be a necessary skill to be expected in their professional role. In this regard, the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASAS) is a worldwide known instrument aimed at assessing the ability to engage in self-care. However, it has never been tested in the Spanish context before, and much less in nursing practitioners or apprentices. The aim of this study was to translate, adapt and validate the ASAS for Spanish nursing apprentices, assessing its dimensionality, psychometric properties and convergent validity by means of the Sense of Coherence (SOC-13) questionnaire. Methods: Data were collected from a random sample of 921 Certificated Nursing Assistant (CNA) Spanish students and was analyzed trough confirmatory factor analyses via structural equation models. The core ASAS construct and its subscales were correlated with the SOC-13 scores. Results: Fair psychometric properties for the questionnaire were set. Also, SEM models endorse the validity and reliability of the four-factor dimensionality of the Spanish adaptation of the ASAS, whose associations to SOC scores were coherent and significant. Conclusion: This study allowed to establish that the Spanish version of the ASAS might be a useful tool for addressing self-care-related issues among nursing apprentices, a key population for promoting both their own and patients’ health and welfare through healthy and care-related behaviors.
