“…In nursing, compared with other disciplines, the perspective was more often taken from the professionals and focused mostly on the transition from nursing student to occupational nurse (Goodwin & Candela, 2013), as well as when shifting from one role to another, such as becoming CEO/president of their organization (Patton, 2012) or becoming a nurse specialist (Robinson et al, 2012).…”

Aims To continuing the quest of the concept of transition in nursing research and to explore how the concept of transition is used in occupational therapy, oral health and social work as well as in interdisciplinary studies in health and welfare, between 2003–2013. Design An integrative literature review. Methods PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, DOSS, SocIndex, Social Science Citation Index and AMED databases from 2003–2013 were used. Identification of 350 articles including the concept of transition in relation to disciplines included. Assessment of articles are in accordance to Meleis' typologies of transition by experts in each discipline. Chosen key factors were entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results Meleis' four typologies were found in all studied disciplines, except development in oral health. The health‐illness type was the most commonly explored, whereas in social work and in occupation therapy, situational transitions dominated.

“…In the study by Parker et al [19], NGNs suggested that satisfaction with the transition was connected to the ambition to remain in the nursing profession. Successful preparation of NGNs is a critical concern for the health care sector [37], partly to decrease burnout, increase job satisfaction, reduce turnover of NGNs, and should involve everyone-from school through practice [30]. Linking undergraduate learning experiences to new graduate transition programmes is complex, requiring substantial collaborative relationships between educational facilities, nurse managers, experienced clinical nurses, and hospital administrators [23,37].…”

Background Transition into clinical practice for newly graduated nurses is a difficult time, with high stress levels defined by a demanding period of personal and professional acclimatisation. Transitions are complicated and multi‐dimensional, and to understand this process, it is crucial to identify the factors that facilitate or stand in the way of a healthy transition. Aim The phenomenological study aimed to describe newly graduated nurses’ expectations of transitioning into the nursing profession at the start of a clinical nursing introduction programme, including education, supervision, and critical reflection with peers. Method The study was based on seven group interviews with newly graduated nurses. The interviews utilised open‐ended and follow‐up questions and were carried out as a dialogue to enable reflection on the phenomenon of interest. This was explored and illuminated using the reflective lifeworld research approach, based on phenomenological epistemology. Findings “Expectations of transition into the nursing profession via the Clinical Nursing Introduction Programme” is signified by an oscillating movement between uncertainty, security, challenge, and growth on the threshold of a new identity. The phenomenon is constituted by the courage to grow, responsibility and fear, belonging and vulnerability, and support and challenge. Conclusion Transitioning into the nursing profession via the Clinical Nursing Introduction Programme means having the best of both worlds. Newly graduated nurses have the opportunity to receive education and structured support at the same time as they work independently in clinical practice.

“…These assessment criteria are stated to be directly related to nurses' comfort levels. While studies conducted in English-speaking countries have demonstrated the relationship between nurses' comfort levels (Goodwin and Candela 2013;Krinsky et al 2014) and the quality of care they give, the gap in Turkish literature on this subject indicates the importance of conducting studies to assess the comfort levels of nurses working in Turkey.…”

The aim of this study was to determine psychometric characteristics of the Turkish version of the Nurse Comfort Questionnaire (NCQ). The sample of the study comprised 275 nurses in the western part of Turkey. To collect the study data, the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire and NCQ were used. After the statistical analyses conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Ferrandiz and Martin-Baena's NCQ, some items were excluded from the original questionnaire, and a 39-item NCQ for Turkey was developed. The analyses showed that the 39-item NCQ had a valid and reliable structure of Turkish nurses.
