Introduction: Assistive technology is aimed at improving the quality of nursing care for patients admitted to oncology intensive care units (ICUs). Objective: To develop a nursing admission form for patients admitted to an oncology intensive care unit. Materials and methods: This is a methodological study conducted in three stages: 1) an integrative literature review to compose the content of the research form, 2) content validation, which included the participation and approval of 15 specialists (nurses) using Pasquali’s concordance validation method, and 3) presentation of the final version of the form. Results: A total of 20 articles were included in the review; the first version of the form was structured based on the thematic synthesis; 15 specialists participated in content validation and, after completion of the instrument, it was found that all the items had a content validation index ≥ 0.85; based on the suggestions, the admission form was organized into blocks of items: identification, brief history, admission conditions, and physical examination, with a total of four items. Conclusions: The nursing survey form for patients admitted to oncology ICUs is suitable for use by the nursing team at the time of patient admission, enabling data recording to support the planning and systematization of care in the oncology ICU setting.

“…Critical care settings have been described by NUMs as stressful places of work with numerous obligations and responsibilities and minimal time available to build meaningful relationships with their teams (Nazari 1 University of Cape Town, Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa et al, 2016). NUMs report not feeling adequately prepared for their managerial roles (Townsend et al, 2012) and feeling under-valued through a lack of involvement in decisionmaking (Intas et al, 2021). The work of critical care nursing staff-both nurse and manager-is regarded as intensely emotional with various psychological stressors in a high-risk situation (Mealer et al, 2007).…”

Introduction Little is written about the management of psychological contracts by nurse unit managers (NUMs) in critical care settings and how this perspective contributes to the performance, experiences, and views of nurses and nursing teams. Psychological contracts are important regulators of the employer–employee relationship, with managers (NUMs) being the embodiment of the employer in managing the contract. Objectives This qualitative study answers a call for research on the NUM perspective of the psychological contract given the role they play in the wellbeing of critical care nurses and quality of care provided. The study aims to understand the expectations and obligations that constitute the psychological contract NUMs have with their nursing teams, the nature of the contract, and how NUMs practically manage these aspects on their teams. Methods Using an interpretive qualitative research design and a purposive sampling technique, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 of the 14 NUMs from a public health facility about critical incidents relating to their obligations and expectations of managing critical care nurses. Results A thematic analysis of their responses revealed five main themes that represent the contents of their psychological contracts with critical care nurses: professional commitment and obligation; leading by example; trust and support; teamwork; and on-the-job training and further development. In their discussion of these components, the NUMs also revealed how they manage the psychological contract with nurses. Conclusion Based on the expectations and obligations NUMs hold with their staff, their psychological contracts were found to be largely relational, with elements of the balanced type, suggesting that they rely on interpersonal connection and coordination, as well as knowledge dissemination, to uphold the contract. This contract appears to be effective in inculcating the commitment of nurses to their profession and professional standards through the building of trust and offering of support. However, recommendations are offered to ensure NUMs are best prepared to sustain these psychological contracts and continue to support nurse wellbeing and related patient care.
