Background:With the evolution of disease patterns and the continuous pursuit of persons for high-quality nursing services, new nurses are the reserve talents of the nursing team and shoulder a major mission. However, due to their low work performance and high turnover rate, this is not conducive to the stable development of nursing teams, and it is urgent to solve this problem. This study aimed to explore the relationship between work readiness and work performance as well as the mediating roles of organizational justice and professional identity in this relationship. Method: A cross-sectional design was employed. From January to February 2023, 607 new nurses were surveyed at five hospitals in Henan Province, China. Work performance, work readiness, organizational justice and professional identity were assessed by the Work Performance Scale, the Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurses, the Organizational Justice Scale and the Professional Identity Rating Scale for Nurses, respectively. AMOS 26.0 was used for model drawing and mediation path testing, and SPSS 25.0 was used for data analysis. This study complies with the STROBE Statement of Observational Studies. Results:Work readiness had a positive predictive effect on work performance of new nurses (r = 0.580, p ＜ 0.01); Organizational justice and professional identity play a chain mediatingrole in work readiness and work performance (β= 0.066). Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of improving the work performance of new nurses. Organizational justice and professional identity can be used as mediating factors between new nurses’ work readiness and work performance. To improve new nurses’ work readiness, enhance organizational justice and improve professional identity and improve the work performance is conducive to stabilizing the nurse team, improving medical environment, stimulating new nurses to develop innovative ideas and contributing to the long-term development of the hospital.

“…Categories such as ‘who I am’ and ‘what I do’ have been identified as crucial for nurses' professional identity, as they are associated with increased job satisfaction, staff retention and improved patient outcomes 41 . Similarly, attributes such as maturity, self‐reflection, courage and personal experiences have been found to be important for building a strong professional identity in nursing 42 and rehabilitation professionals 43 . The similarities between professional identity and the descriptions of scholarly practitioners suggest that these two phenomena may be interconnected.…”

RationaleEngagement in scholarly practice has been associated with professional empowerment, role satisfaction and improvements in care delivery and patient outcomes across many healthcare professions. However, in evolving professions like respiratory therapy, scholarly practice is excluded from competency frameworks, resulting in a gap in education and subsequent application of this competency in practice. An exploration of scholarly practice in respiratory therapy may provide insights into evolving professions that face tensions between meeting competency requirements as outlined in frameworks and providing quality healthcare to the populations they serve.Aims and ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to explore what scholarly practice means, and how it manifests in practice from respiratory therapists' (RTs) perspectives.MethodsWe used interpretive description methodology. We purposively sampled participants to obtain varied perspectives of scholarly practice in respiratory therapy. We conducted 26 semistructured interviews with RTs in different roles (clinicians, educators, researchers, leaders and managers) across Canada and analysed the data using inductive analysis. Data collection and analysis proceeded concurrently.ResultsWe developed five main themes: (i) the identity of a scholarly practitioner in RTs; (ii) factors influencing scholarly practice; (iii) one's impression of their professional self‐image; (iv) scholarly practice as a vehicle for changing practice and (v) the complex interconnections between knowledges and practices.ConclusionScholarly practice appears to be a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing a wide range of activities and skills including conducting research, reflective practice, application of research to practice, and contributing to the advancement of the profession and healthcare. Scholarly practice is influenced by organisational context and culture, available resources, intrinsic motivation and external political context. We identified similarities between professional identity and the description of the scholarly practitioner, suggesting that these two phenomena may be interconnected. Furthermore, participants believed that scholarly practice could enhance the image, credibility, legitimacy and professionalisation of the profession.

“…It does however beg the question: is it possible or even desirable to create a universal definition of context? Studies by Halle et al, 90 Mak et al, 91 and Young et al 92 converge to highlight the enormous complexity involved in mapping concepts such as evidence-based practice, professional identity, and clinical reasoning, respectively. These scholars do not advocate for unified definitions; rather, they outline the pros and cons of producing one overarching definition, and call for making explicit what perspective, theoretical lens or conceptualization of a phenomenon one is referring to in teaching, assessment, and/or practice.…”
