“…The World Health Organization (WHO; World Health Organization, 2023) announced that by 2030, there will likely be a gap of 10 million nurses globally that needs to be closed to ensure a healthy and thriving society. A sustainable healthcare system plays a key role in benefiting people, the local community and the global society (Xiao et al, 2023). To support society's and the healthcare industry's sustainable development, the United Nations (UN) set the target to 'ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages'.…”

“…Servant leadership is defined as 'an (1) other-oriented approach to leadership (2) manifested through one-on-one prioritizing of follower individual needs and interests, (3) and outward reorienting of their concern for self towards concern for others within the organization and the larger community' (Eva et al, 2019, p. 114). Servant leadership is receiving increasing attention in the nursing literature with a focus on servant leaders' ability to motivate nurse employees from the perspective of conservation of resources (COR) theory (Ma et al, 2021;Xiao et al, 2023). It is argued that servant leaders can promote employees' work performance and attitude through recognition and respect, building trust and high-quality interpersonal relationships (Ma et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, Blake et al (2013) found that support from nursing leaders was strongly associated with job satisfaction as they support nurses' autonomy and control over their practice (Duffield et al, 2009). Similarly, Xiao et al (2023) observed that servant leadership is positively associated with nurses' psychological well-being. Focusing on servant leadership is particularly important as nurses continue to experience high workplace violence (Pariona-Cabrera et al, 2020) and emotional exhaustion stimulated by intensified workloads and unfriendly work environments (Bai & Bai, 2023;Xiao et al, 2022).…”

AimsDrawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study examines the underlying process through which servant leadership is associated with nurses' in‐role performance. Specifically, we test the indirect effect of servant leadership on in‐role performance via a sequential mediating mechanism of job autonomy and emotional exhaustion.DesignA time‐lagged design was implemented using data gathered from two‐wave online surveys (1 week apart) of registered nurses from Jiangsu Province, China.MethodsBetween September 2022 and February 2023, we used Wenjuanxing and Credma, which are two powerful and user‐friendly data collection platforms, to distribute online surveys to potential participants. We received a total of 220 usable responses and employed the PROCESS Model 4 and Model 6 to assess our proposed hypotheses.ResultsOur proposed model was supported. Servant leadership has a positive indirect effect on nurses' in‐role performance through job autonomy and emotional exhaustion. Job autonomy has a negative effect on emotional exhaustion. Additionally, job autonomy mediates the negative relationship between servant leadership and emotional exhaustion.ConclusionThe present research extends existing nursing studies by unravelling the complex mechanisms underlying the relationship between servant leadership and nurses' in‐role performance. Our study also identifies the underlying mechanism of how servant leadership mitigates emotional exhaustion by supporting nurses' job autonomy.ImpactThe sequential mediation results provide us with a more fine‐grained understanding of the relationship between servant leadership and nurses' in‐role performance. It further promotes job autonomy and decreases emotional exhaustion, which supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal #3 (Good Health and Well‐being).Patient or Public ContributionThis study addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goal #3: ‘To ensure healthy lives and promote well‐being for all at all ages’ and the healthcare providers will benefit from our study. Therefore, the study contributes to a more sustainable organization and society.

Background: The relationship between recurrence risk perception, fear of progression, and health behaviors in patients with ischemic stroke is unclear. Objective: To explore the effect of accuracy and level of recurrence risk perception on health behaviors and the mediating role of fear of progression. Methods: We conducted a 2-wave survey. Patients with ischemic stroke (N = 261) were recruited from 2 hospitals in Guangzhou, China. Before discharge, demographic information, objective recurrence risk, perceived recurrence risk, fear of progression, and health behaviors were investigated. After 1 month, the patient’s health behaviors were followed up. Results: The median (quartiles 1-3) scores for recurrence risk perception and fear of progression were 43.0 (39.0-46.0) and 22.0 (18.0-28.0), respectively. Only 22.2% of the patients correctly perceived the risk of recurrence, 23.0% underestimated the risk, and 30.7% overestimated the risk. Patients who overestimated the risk of recurrence (β = 0.421, P = .002) or had a higher perceived level of recurrence risk (β = 0.446, P < .001) had a higher fear of progression, which contributed to better health behaviors at 1 month (β = 0.197, P = .001). Fear of progression played a partial and full mediating role, respectively. Patients who underestimated the recurrence risk had worse health behaviors than those who accurately perceived it (β = −0.296, P = .033). Conclusion: Both accuracy and level of recurrence risk perception were independent predictors of future health behaviors, and fear of progression was mediating. Health care professionals should develop individualized risk education programs to help stroke patients properly understand and cope with the risk of recurrence.

Background New nurses are prone to workplace deviant behavior in the constrained hospital environment, which will not only directly affect the safety of patients, but also reduce the work efficiency of nurses and bring negative results to the hospital. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational justice, emotional labor, psychological capital, and workplace deviant behavior of new nurses. Methods A cross-sectional study was used in this study. A survey was conducted in 5 hospitals in Henan Province, Chain from February to April 2023. The sample size was 546. The questionnaire included general information, perceived organizational justice scale, emotional labor scale, psychological capital scale, and workplace deviant behavior scale. SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS Macro were used for data analysis. PROCESS Model 4 and Model 14 were used to verify the model. Results This study displays that perceived organizational justice was negatively correlated with emotional labor and workplace deviant behavior, and emotional labor was positively correlated with workplace deviant behavior. Meanwhile, emotional labor plays a partial mediating role between perceived organizational justice and workplace deviant behavior, accounting for 32.7% of the total effect. Moreover, the path of emotional labor on workplace deviant behavior is moderated by psychological capital. Conclusion This study further understood the workplace deviant behavior of new nurses, and provided a new perspective for solving this problem. Nurse managers can reduce workplace deviant behavior by enhancing the perceived organizational justice and psychological capital of new nurses and improving emotional labor.
