As of 2023, nearly one in ten registered nurses in Canada is male. The percentage of male nurses has been slowly increasing since 2006, where just *** percent of registered nurses were men. Still, nursing is a female-dominated profession. Nurses in Canada As of 2023, while there were nearly ******* registered nurses (RN) in Canada. The average age of a registered nurse in Canada has been decreasing in recent years. Besides registered nurses, three other nurse professionals are regulated in Canada, nurse practitioners (NP), registered psychiatric nurses (RPN), and licensed practical nurses (LPN). LPNs need less education, while NPs require higher education than RNs.

Dataset for Continuous Stress Monitoring of Hospital Nurses

The growing accessibility of wearable tech has opened doors to continuously monitor various physiological factors. Detecting stress early has become pivotal, aiding individuals in proactively managing their health against the detrimental effects of prolonged stress exposure. This paper presents an exclusive stress detection dataset cultivated within the natural environment of a hospital. Compiled during the COVID-19 outbreak, this dataset encompasses the biometric data of nurses. Analyzing stress in a workplace setting is intricate due to the multifaceted social, cultural, and psychological elements inherent in dealing with stressful circumstances. Hence, our dataset not only encompasses physiological data but also contextual information surrounding stress events. Key physiological metrics such as electrodermal activity, heart rate, and skin temperature of the nurse subjects were continuously monitored. Additionally, a periodic survey administered via smartphones captured contributing factors linked to detected stress events. The database housing these signals, stress occurrences, and survey responses is publicly accessible on Dryad.

Project Overview This project delves into leveraging wearable device-derived physiological signals to gauge stress levels among nurses operating within a hospital environment. The dataset comprises details acquired from nurses wearing watches that tracked their heart rate, skin temperature, and electrodermal activity (EDA) while simultaneously reporting their stress levels.

The primary goal revolves around evaluating various machine learning models to forecast stress levels based on recorded physiological signals. Additionally, the project investigates the most pertinent physiological indicators for stress detection and offers insights to enhance the accuracy and dependability of stress detection via wearable tech.

Merge CSV File Information: This dataset comprises approximately 11.5 million entries across nine columns: X, Y, Z: Orientation data (256 unique entries each). EDA, HR, TEMP: Physiological measurements (EDA: 274,452 unique, HR: 6,268 unique, TEMP: 599 unique). id: 18 categorical identifiers. datetime: Extensive date and time entries (10.6 million unique). label: Categorical states or classes (three unique entries). The dataset offers a wide array of continuous physiological measurements alongside orientation data, facilitating stress detection, health monitoring, and related research endeavours.

AimTo determine nurses’ perception of horizontal violence and its relationship with intention to leave among Jordanian nurses.BackgroundHorizontal violence is detrimental to healthcare organizations. Healthcare employees who are victims of horizontal violence may become unable to perform well, living with severe stress. Few studies in the world and no study in Jordan has examined the influence of horizontal violence on intent to stay among nurses.MethodA descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study design was used in this study.Result520 registered nurses were recruited, and 436 surveys were returned, resulting in an 83% response rate. The findings showed that, horizontal violence is moderate among nurses in Jordan. The mean score for nurse’s intent to leave work indicated a solid willingness to leave the job. The correlation analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between horizontal violence and intent to leave. Female nurses reported significantly higher scores than males; also, there is a significant difference in responses in horizontal violence based on educational level.ConclusionIn this study, it was found that horizontal violence in Jordanian organizations is moderate, and it has a significant relationship with nurses’ intention to leave.Implication for nursing managementNursing managers have a vital role in ensuring and enforcing the ‘zero violence’ policy in their department, which means that no reported incident of horizontal violence will be ignored. Each identified case of horizontal violence will be investigated and addressed appropriately.

To examine the epidemiology of suicide mortality among nurses internationally. The literature was searched to identify studies that analyzed suicide mortality among nurses internationally. Cumulatively, n = 61 studies were included (i.e. n = 40 epidemiological and n = 21 cohort). Epidemiological and cohort evidence on nurse suicide mortality were available for the European Region, Region of the Americas, and Western Pacific Region. Male nurse suicide rates in the European Region were both below and above male age-standardized suicide rates in this region, while female nurse suicide rates in the European Region were above female age-standardized suicide rates in this region. Male nurse suicide rates in the Region of the Americas were above male age-standardized suicide rates in this region, and female nurse suicide rates in the Region of the Americas were both below and above female age-standardized suicide rates in this region. Male nurse suicide rates in the Western Pacific Region were above male age-standardized suicide rates in this region, and female nurse suicide rates in the Western Pacific Region were both slightly below and above female age-standardized suicide rates in this region. There were no epidemiological or cohort studies on nurse suicide mortality within three global regions (i.e. African, Eastern Mediterranean, and South-East Asia), and research in these regions is important in building the evidence base. Cumulatively, it remains difficult ascertaining cross-regional nurse suicide risk, in part, due to the limited availability of global data on occupation-specific suicide mortality.

AimIn the present study, we aimed to provide an epidemiological and descriptive overview of violence against healthcare workers in an Italian university hospital, presenting and characterizing the risk factors in the department where such events occur and to propose ways to prevent aggressive behaviors.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed violence against healthcare workers by patients and attendants at an Italian university hospital from 2020 to 2022. Aggressions were documented in anonymous incident reports collected by the hospital’s Clinical Risk Unit. The frequencies and percentages were calculated via a descriptive analysis. Chi-square tests were used to compare the wards with the most aggressions to other wards.ResultsOf the 219 included cases, the aggressors were primarily male patients and the victims female nurses. Most of the aggressions occurred in the psychiatry and emergency department. Among the aggressors, 41.1%, had a psychiatric diagnosis or neurocognitive impairment. Over half the cases involved physical aggression. Compared to other wards, psychiatric wards showed an even distribution of aggressor gender, a higher proportion of male victims, fewer verbal aggressions, and less impact from environmental factors. Notably, female aggressor status (p
