“…In addition, more experienced nurses may have gained the trust and confidence of their colleagues, and thus may have developed the ability to adapt to different situations and issues that arise in the workplace (Alshehry, Alquwez, Almazan, Namis, Moreno‐Lacalle, et al, 2019). Longer stay in the country may have allowed nurses from other countries to adapt to the societal and cultural norms in Saudi Arabia, as well as to the organizational culture, processes, policies, and norms of their hospital (Cruz, 2017). Another finding was the different levels of WI experiences of nurses in different hospital units.…”

“…Healthcare institutions should deliver high‐quality patient care, with an emphasis on patient safety. Assigned in complex workplace environments, nurses face several challenges, such as workplace stressors, heavy workloads, and workplace mistreatment (Cruz, 2017). Hospital incivility may pose challenges to patient safety, and its negative effects may lead to a hostile and unethical environment.…”

Purpose This study assessed clinical nurses’ workplace incivility experiences and determined the effects of workplace incivility experiences on nurses’ patient safety competence. Design This quantitative study surveyed 261 clinical nurses in two acute healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia from June to August 2019. Methods A self‐administered survey, including the Nurse Incivility Scale and the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey, was employed to assess the variables workplace incivility and patient safety competence. The association between incivility and patient safety competence was analysed using multivariate multiple regression. Results The highest mean score was recorded for patient or visitor incivility, whereas the lowest score was recorded for supervisor incivility. Regarding patient safety competence, the dimension “communicating effectively” received the highest mean score, whereas “working in teams with other health professionals” was rated lowest. General and nurse incivilities had multivariate effects on the six dimensions of patient safety competence. Conclusions Nurses’ experiences of uncivil acts from nurses and from general incivility negatively impact nurses’ patient safety competence. Clinical Relevance This investigation could guide the establishment of policies centered on boosting the patient safety competence of nurses by addressing uncivil acts in healthcare settings.

“…Sleep disorders comprise the factor that is specifically highlighted with respect to healthcare workers (Poissonnet & Véron, 2000;Rose & Glass, 2009), especially considering the effects of night shift-work and difficult work schedules. Some authors underlined the role of leisure activities and other off-job experiences in buffering the negative effects of the reported factors (Tuisku et al, 2016), since an improved general quality of life may positively affect employee well-being (Preposi Cruz, 2016 d 'Ettorre & Greco, 2016;Einarsen & Matthiesen, 1998;Estrynbehar et al, 1990;Galletta et al, 2016;Jakobsen et al, 2015;Markwell & Wainer, 2009;McVicar, 2003;Niedl, 1996;Nixon et al, 2015;Park et al, 2004;Salmond & Ropis, 2005;Sun et al, 2016;Suresh et al, 2013;A. Yildirim & D. Yildirim, 2007) highlighted the relevance of mobbing, conflicts, lack of rewards and recognition by superiors, work demands, work duration, difficulty in balancing work and family commitments, and work context factors.…”

While the literature on well-being has largely explored workers in different industries, and much has been written about patient well-being and quality of life in recent years, little attention has focused on the well-being of healthcare professionals. This study aims to provide a relevant state-of-the-art on the healthcare sector within the context of well-being. The paper employs a systematic literature review, following the PRISMA guidelines, to find relevant studies; the analysis of results is then provided by using Herzberg's two-factor theory to explore factors affecting the well-being of healthcare workers. The literature review revealed that few relevant studies were conducted before the year 2013; only a recent increased attention to this theme, with a particular focus on nurses, enabled this study to confirm several factors individuated in the general literature on well-being and to highlight some other factors specific to healthcare. This paper provides suggestions to build a better and healthier work environment, highlighting that managers need to focus their attention on creating conditions that facilitate intra-and inter-professional relationships, on providing healthcare workers with adequate solutions for their well-being, and on strengthening the individual employee's identification with, and involvement in, the organization.

Nurses' self‐efficacy and well‐being at work amid the COVID‐19 pandemic: A mixed‐methods study

The current pandemic has caused extraordinary and long-lasting work demands on nurses. Nurses spend more time accomplishing various responsibilities, including providing nursing care to patients, attending to the needs of the patient's family, and performing administrative functions. Nurses work tirelessly during their shifts, enduring faulty work environment conditions, inadequate protective resources, and situations that challenge them emotionally and mentally (Alsolais et al., 2021; WHO, 2020a). A previous study reported that nurses' professional quality of life is affected by their work experiences and conditions during this pandemic (Inocian et al., 2021).These situations for nurses have placed their well-being at work at risk. Nurses' self-efficacy to perform and execute at different levels in response to care for COVID-19 has likely decreased as compared to non-pandemic situations. Thus, they are putting their well-being at work at risk. Taking care of nurses' well-being directly affects their ability to fully serve their patients because negative well-being in the workplace brings consequences in areas such as performance, absenteeism, and staff turnover (WHO, 2020a). Although wellbeing is considered important for nurses, the relationship between self-efficacy among nurses during challenging situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has rarely been assessed. The underlying mechanism of this relationship, especially during a pandemic, needs to be understood. Addressing the self-efficacy and overall wellbeing at work requires understanding the nature and extent of the effects of pandemics to ensure that effective interventions can be used to guarantee the optimum levels of nurses' well-being at work.Having optimum well-being at work among nurses and other healthcare workers is critical to ensuring the provision of high-quality and
