“…To improve competencies and skills constantly was seen as fundamental in an ever-changing society that presents enormous challenges associated with major globalised transformations as large migration flows and relevant and sudden shifts in economics due to major confrontations at a global level. 63 The second theme regarding patients'trust in public health nurses involved the nurses' relational dignity in their interactions with patients and their significant others. This creates a relationship of mutual dependency that fosters empathy.…”

Background Dignity is a central human value supported by nurses’ professional ethics. In previous studies, nurses in clinical practice have experienced that dignity increased their work well-being and pride of work. Dignity is also strictly interweaved to professional identity in the different nursing’ roles, but little is known about dignity among public health nurses and primary care settings. Purpose This study aimed to describe the perceptions of nursing's professional dignity of public health nurses in primary care in Finland. Research design An inductive qualitative descriptive approach with semi-structured focus group interviews was utilised. Participants and research context Twenty-seven Finnish public health nurses were interviewed via eight semi-structured focus group interviews in primary health care settings. Ethical considerations Before data collection, research permissions were obtained from participating health care centres. This type of research in Finland, with competent adult participants, does not require ethical pre-assessment but written and oral informed consent obtained before the interviews. Findings Based on our findings, public health nurses perceived that professional dignity was (1) part of their self-respect, an observed daily value based on their acknowledged competence. Besides, they perceived that (2) service users’ trust in public health nurses was a strong expression of professional dignity, and it could be uncovered when recipients of care utilised their services. In addition, public health nurses experienced that (3) professional dignity was an expression of different intertwined interprofessional and social factors. Discussion and conclusion Professional dignity is simultaneously an essential prerequisite and an outcome of public health nurses’ work. In future, more information would be needed to implement strategies in primary health care to foster nurses’ professional dignity also in international public health arenas.

“…A good example is the British continued use of commonwealth countries (former colonies) as a source of nursing workforce (Gillin & Smith, 2020). Though global inequality is not the only reason for nurse outmigration migration (Stokes & Iskander, 2021), the neocolonial brain drain is similar to the unilateral extraction of resources from developing countries.…”

Aim A critical discussion of the intersections between racism and colonialism as social determinants of health and explore how these discriminatory ideologies shape nursing inquiry. Design Discussion paper. Data Sources A review of pertinent discourse on racism and colonialism in nursing from 2000 to 2022. Implications for Nursing The failure to address health inequity plaguing racialized and marginalized populations locally and globally affects all groups, as illustrated in the COVID‐19 pandemic. Racism and colonialism are inextricably linked, creating potent forces that influence nursing scholarship and adversely affect the health of a culturally and racially diverse society. Power differentials exist within and between countries creating structural challenges that lead to inequitable distribution of resources and othering. Nursing cannot be abstracted from the sociopolitical context in which it exists. There have been calls to address the social drivers that influence the health of the communities. More still needs to be done to support an antiracist agenda and decolonize nursing. Conclusion Nurses, as the largest healthcare workforce, can be critical in addressing health disparities. However, nurses have failed to eliminate racism within their ranks, and essentialism ideology has been normalized. A multidimensional approach that includes interventions aimed at nursing education, direct patient care, community health, nursing organizations and policy is needed to address problematic nursing discourse rooted in colonialism and racism ideologies. Since knowledge generated from scholarship informs nursing education, practice and policy, it is imperative to implement antiracist policies that eliminate racist assumptions and practices from nursing scholarship. No Patient or Public Contribution The paper is a discursive paper using pertinent nursing literature. Impact For nursing to attain its potential as a leader in healthcare, standards of scientific vigour should be embedded within history, culture and politics. Recommendations are provided on possible strategies to identify, confront and abolish racism and colonialism in nursing scholarship.

“…In addition to maintaining the quality of medical care and paying attention to patient safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining the number of nursing staff, dealing with the shortage of nursing manpower, and reducing medical workload are public health issues with urgent concerns in various fields around the world (Maleki et al, 2021;Stokes & Iskander, 2021). In addition, assisting children who receive invasive treatment, such as intravenous injections (IV), is a difficult skill in clinical nursing practice, especially for young children who have limited communication competences and are afraid of needles (Hsu et al, 2022;Tsao et al, 2017;Fadlilah et al, 2022) pointed out that hospitalized children are prone to anxiety; if untreated in time, this anxiety might hinder the treatment process and increase the length of treatment, thus prolonging the inpatient days.…”

This study proposed a robot-assisted digital storytelling approach to reduce hospitalized children's anxiety about intravenous injections and to improve their therapeutic communication and therapeutic engagement. In order to verify the effectiveness of the robot-assisted digital storytelling approach, a randomized controlled study was implemented. A total of 47 children from a regional hospital were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 21) and a control group (n = 26). The experimental group adopted the robot-assisted digital storytelling approach in health education for intravenous injections, while the control group received video-based health education. The study results indicated that the proposed robot-assisted digital storytelling approach not only reduced the children's anxiety, but also had positive effects on children's communication about intravenous injections, emotions during hospitalization, and therapeutic engagement. As a consequence, it is suggested that educators and researchers consider adopting robot-assisted digital storytelling to facilitate nursing clinical health education for children.
