Post-traumatic stress disorder in children after discharge from the pediatric intensive care unit: a scoping review.

As the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children discharged from pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) continues to rise, corresponding research efforts have also increased. This scoping review aimed to review the PTSD prevalence, influencing factors, and tools used for PTSD measurements in children discharged from the PICU. This review employed the five-stage framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. The data sources included PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, ScienceDirect, Springer, Scopus, CNKI, and WANFANG. Studies in English or Chinese published up to September 2023 were eligible for inclusion. The search yielded a total of 3536 results, with 31 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The included studies reported that the prevalence of PTSD ranged from a minimum of 13% to a maximum of 84.6%. Risk factors for PTSD included medical interventions, child-related factors, and family environment. A total of 17 assessment tools for PTSD in PICU patients were reported. Given the significance of PTSD in this pediatric population, further attention, research, and intervention are warranted to help alleviate the burden of PTSD.

Perceptions and self-management of a healthy diet among middle-aged adults with risk of stroke in North China: a qualitative exploration.

OBJECTIVE: Although stroke is prevalent among older people, there is a rising incidence among the younger subpopulations, particularly middle-aged adults. A healthy diet is one of the key modifiable factors to primary prevention of stroke among these subpopulations, yet there is limited understanding of the dietary habits among middle agers who have the risk factor(s) but no occurrence of stroke. This study aims to explore the views on perceptions and the self-management of middle-aged adults at risk of stroke on a healthy diet and to identify the enablers and barriers that could inform the future development of dietary interventions. DESIGN: This study used an interpretive descriptive qualitative design, employing semistructured purposive sampling for focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was conducted on the transcribed interviews and field notes, facilitated by NVivo 12.0 Plus software. SETTING: Community settings in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. PARTICIPANTS: Middle-aged adults (aged 45-59) were identified as at risk of stroke due to the presence of one or more modifiable risk factors. RESULT: A total of seven focus group discussions were audio recorded. Four main themes emerged, which were: (1) cognitive understanding of a healthy diet; (2) dietary practices; (3) knowledge acquisition and (4) barriers to dietary adherence. CONCLUSIONS: The middle-aged adults at risk of stroke were generally aware of the risk and attempted to practise healthy eating. The existing educational programmes on following a healthy diet in the prevention of disease need to be made more comprehensible, accessible and equitable, especially for those from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities.

The mediating effects of self-efficacy and study engagement on the relationship between specialty identity and career maturity of Chinese nursing students: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Career maturity is a crucial indicator of career preparedness and unpreparedness can cause the turnover of new nurses. Considerable empirical work demonstrates the potential associations between specialty identity, self-efficacy, study engagement, and career maturity. This study aimed to explore the mediation role of self-efficacy and study engagement on the relationships between specialty identity and career maturity among Chinese nursing students. METHODS: Four hundred twenty-six Chinese nursing students were recruited between September 11 and October 30, 2022. The online survey was conducted following the CHERRIES checklist. Electronic questionnaires assessed their perceived specialty identity, self-efficacy, study engagement, and career maturity. The descriptive analysis, Harman single-factor analysis, Pearson correlation tests, structural equation modeling, and the bootstrap method were employed in data analysis. RESULTS: Bivariate correlation analysis identified a positive correlation between specialty identity, self-efficacy, study engagement, and career maturity (r = 0.276-0.440, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy and study engagement partially mediated the relationship between specialty identity and career maturity. Self-efficacy and study engagement played a chain mediating role between specialty identity and career maturity. CONCLUSIONS: The underlying mechanism can explain the relationships between specialty identity and career maturity: a direct predictor and an indirect effect through self-efficacy and study engagement. Policymakers and educators should emphasize the importance of specialty identity and provide tailored strategies for improving care maturity depending on nursing students' specialty identity, self-efficacy, study engagement in the early stages of career development.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Chinese version of the intensive care unit environment stress scale for pediatric patients.

PURPOSE: There is currently a lack of understanding of children's experience in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) environment. Additionally, pediatric patients may experience post-PICU syndrome following discharge. Thus, we aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of a tool specifically for use with children in the PICU. DESIGN AND METHODS: According to Brislin's Model, the Intensive Care Unit Environment Stress Scale (ICUESS) was translated both forward and backward and adapted cross-culturally. A total of 210 PICU patients were selected from four hospitals in XXX to analyze the final translated version of the questionnaire, the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stress Scale (PICUESS). Content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to assess the validity, while reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and split-half reliability analysis. RESULTS: For PICUESS, seven of 42 items were modified. Content validity was high (overall = 0.96, item validity = 0.8 to 1.0). Exploratory factor analysis revealed eight common factors (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.857, significant Bartlett's test). The results of the CFA indicate that the scale model fits well across the 8 factors. The entire scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.934). The overall split-half reliability was 0.935. CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese version of PICUESS demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it suitable for assessing pediatric patients' perceptions of the PICU environment. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The PICUESS can assist healthcare professionals in providing personalized environment care for PICU patients. It has the potential to serve as a tool for further testing and international comparisons of pediatric patients' perceptions of the PICU environment.

Marital Self-Disclosure Intervention for the Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Chinese Patients With Gastric Cancer: Protocol for a Quasiexperimental Study.

BACKGROUND: Patients with gastric cancer experience different degrees of fear of cancer recurrence. The fear of cancer recurrence can cause and worsen many physical and psychological problems. We considered the "intimacy and relationship processes in couples' psychosocial adaptation" model. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to examine the effectiveness of a marital self-disclosure intervention for improving the level of fear of cancer recurrence and the dyadic coping ability among gastric cancer survivors and their spouses. METHODS: This is a quasiexperimental study with a nonequivalent (pretest-posttest) control group design. The study will be conducted at 2 tertiary hospitals in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. A total of 42 patients with gastric cancer undergoing chemotherapy and their spouses will be recruited from each hospital. Participants from Jingjiang People's Hospital will be assigned to an experimental group, while participants from Taizhou People's Hospital will be assigned to a control group. The participants in the experimental group will be involved in 4 phases of the marital self-disclosure (different topics, face-to-face) intervention. Patients will be evaluated at baseline after a diagnosis of gastric cancer and reassessed 2 to 4 months after baseline. The primary outcome is the score of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) for patients. The secondary outcomes are the scores of the FoP-Q-SF for partners and the Dyadic Coping Inventory. RESULTS: Research activities began in October 2022. Participant enrollment and data collection began in February 2023 and are expected to be completed in 12 months. The primary results of this study are anticipated to be announced in June 2024. CONCLUSIONS: This study aims to assess a marital self-disclosure intervention for improving the fear of cancer recurrence in Chinese patients with gastric cancer and their spouses. The study is likely to yield desirable positive outcomes as marital self-disclosure is formulated based on evidence and inputs obtained through stakeholder interviews and expert consultation. The study process will be carried out by nurses who have received psychological training, and the quality of the intervention will be strictly controlled. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05606549; https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05606549. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): DERR1-10.2196/55102.

Measuring empowerment in pregnant women: A scoping review of progress in instruments.

BACKGROUND: The empowerment of pregnant women is a meaningful strategy that profoundly impacts the health of women and their children. Despite a significant increase in the empowerment of pregnant women and its measurement, little attention was given to a consensus on the selection and application of assessment instruments used for pregnant women. OBJECTIVE: To identify the available assessment instruments for measuring the empowerment of pregnant women and to describe the appraisal content and their psychometric properties. METHODS: We searched nine bibliographic databases for original studies that focus on the measurement of empowerment in pregnant women. Arksey and O'Malley's methodology and PRISMA-ScR were selected to guide the implementation of this scoping review. The COSMIN criteria was employed to assess the methodological quality and the quality of psychometric properties. RESULTS: A total of 23 studies were included and 13 instruments were extracted. Given comprehensive considerations, Kameda's prenatal empowerment scale may be deemed suitable. The included instruments comprehensively measured the attributes of empowerment, with a particular focus on facilitating women's choice and decision-making. Except for the four most recent self-designed questionnaires, the remaining instruments had been tested for reliability and/or validity. CONCLUSION: There were heterogeneous results regarding the included instruments' appraisal content and psychometric properties. Future studies focusing on the development or validation of measurement instruments should be guided by influential and identical standards.

Internet-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Individuals Experiencing Panic Attacks: A Scoping Literature Review.

Panic attacks (PAs) are prevalent and highly comorbid with various physical and psychological disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established psychosocial intervention. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) presents a promising avenue to overcome barriers and provide evidence-based support to those in need. The current scoping review aimed to systematically map the existing literature and identify knowledge gaps regarding the impact of ICBT on outcome measures for individuals experiencing PAs. The PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews were used. A total of 3,044 records were retrieved, and 18 studies from 2013 to 2023 were ultimately included in the analysis. ICBT demonstrated effectiveness as a psychosocial intervention for improving panic symptoms and anxiety in individuals with PAs. However, the impact of ICBT on quality of life (QOL) remains inconclusive. All studies included in this review focused on assessing the severity of panic symptoms, with limited emphasis on measuring QOL. This scoping review holds significant implications for research and practice. However, further addressing the research needs identified in this review will enhance our understanding and improve treatment outcomes for PAs.

Staff Experiences in Managing Incidents in Nursing Homes: A Descriptive Qualitative Study.

Introduction: Adverse incidents in nursing home (NH) may occur as the result of inadequate monitoring for signs of unobservable initial complications, medical errors, improper nursing interventions, lack of communication, and inadequate reporting. Purpose: This study explores incident types, causes, handling, and documentation in Indonesian NHs through a qualitative approach. Patients and Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 23 NH staff members, including managers, nurses, and support staff. Results: Five themes and 17 sub-themes emerged, with falls and resident-to-resident abuse as common adverse incidents. Causes included older adults' conditions, environment, and misunderstanding. Follow-up action included first aid, hospital referrals, and assertive communication. Adverse incidents were actively reported through verbal and written reports or WhatsApp groups. Reports and documentation remain unstructured, however, as there were no standard operating procedures regarding incident reporting, documentation, and the types of adverse incidents that staff should report. Conclusion: Improvements in management, documentation, and reporting adverse incidents are highlighted in this research. Practitioners, nurses, and social workers should develop guidelines for handling, reporting, and documenting adverse incidents in NHs.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the development of a webpage based on the Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol and usability testing of the Diabetic Retinopathy Health Education Profram (DRHEP). METHODS: The mixed methods pilot feasibility study was carried out between April and September 2021, involving 16 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 5 experts. The usability score was rated according to the System Usability Scale (SUS). RESULTS: The average SUS score by the experts was 88. The patients gave a higher score of 85 for SUS, with 58 as the lowest. The average SUS score was 72. The findings indicate that the webpage is acceptable, good, and highly usable for users. CONCLUSION: The outcomes of this study signify the relationship between effective health applications and how their design might hamper their effectiveness in changing patients' behavior.

The mediating role of coping styles in the relationship between second victim experience and professional quality of life among nurses: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that second-victim experiences could increase risks of the compassion fatigue while support from individuals and organisations is most often protection. However, the risk for poor compassion satisfaction and increased compassion fatigue in nurses aroused by adverse events remains an underestimated problem, meanwhile, litter known about the role of positive and negative coping styles among nurses suffering from adverse events. This study aims to investigate the effect of second-victim experiences on the professional quality of life among nurses and to determine the mediating role of coping styles in the relationship between second-victim experiences and professional quality of life. METHODS: Multistage sampling was used to recruit registered nurses from Hunan province in China. Registered nurses who identified themselves as experiencing adverse events from nine tertiary hospitals were included in this study. Participants were recruited to complete a survey on the second victim experience and support tool, the simplified coping style questionnaire, and the professional quality of life scale. The stress coping theory was used to develop the framework in this study. The structural equation modelling approach was used for conducting the mediating effects analysis via IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 and Mplus 8.3. RESULTS: In total, 67% (n = 899) of nurses reported a second victim experience during their careers. In a bivariate analysis, both second-victims experiences and coping styles were significantly associated with their professional quality of life. The results showed that the effects of second victim experiences on their professional quality of life were fully mediated by coping styles. A total of 10 significantly indirect pathways were estimated, ranging from -0.243 to 0.173. CONCLUSIONS: Second-victim experiences are common among nurses in this study. Since the mediating effects of coping styles were clarified in this study, it is imperative to promote the perception of negative coping styles and encourage nurses to adopt more positive coping styles with adequate support systems.

Detection of Sarcopenia in a Community-Dwelling Older Population in China.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sarcopenia is a common muscle disease among the older population, posing an increased risk for functional decline and intervention for loss of independence in daily living. Early detection of sarcopenia among older people before functional decline would be beneficial in enhancing their quality of life. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 recommends the use of 3 screening methods for community-based sarcopenia detection: calf circumference (CC), or the Strength, Assistance in walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, and Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire, or the SARC-F in combination with CC (SARC-CalF) questionnaire. This study aims to compare the relative performance of these 3 methods as screening tools for sarcopenia within a community-dwelling older population. METHODS: A total number of 700 community-dwelling older adults participated in the current study. Muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance were measured with bioelectrical impedance analysis, handgrip strength, and gait speed, respectively. The AWGS 2019 criteria were considered the criterion standard The sensitivity/specificity, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analyses were determined for CC, SARC-F, and SARC-CalF to determine their relative diagnostic performance. RESULTS: Sarcopenia was identified in 21.4% of participants according to the AWGS2019 criteria. The overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 56.6%, 14.7%, and 22.9% according to CC, SARC-F, and SARC-CalF, respectively. Calf circumference showed the highest sensitivity but lowest specificity based on AWGS 2019 as the criterion standard regardless of age, gender, and body mass index. The SARC-CalF showed better sensitivity but similar specificity than the SARC-F. The AUROC of CC was significantly better than that of SARC-F and SARC-CalF. The AUROCs of CC, SARC-F, and SARC-CalF were statistically significant in all populations, as well as in the categories of age, gender, and body mass index ( P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Calf circumference is useful in ruling out the presence of sarcopenia while the SARC-F is more effective in ruling in sarcopenia, especially in the context of population-based screening. Future studies should be carried out to investigate the value of population-based sarcopenia detection using these screening tools.

The mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between job stress and professional identity in Chinese medical interns.

BACKGROUND: Adaption to clinical work during the internship can induce several stressors among medical students, especially in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Particularly, job stress could be linked to the development of psychological traits and the formation of the professional identity of medical interns. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the relationship between job stress, psychological capital, and professional identity through a mediation analysis of Chinese medical interns. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 30 hospitals and clinics in China from June 2021 to March 2022. A total of 665 medical interns filled out questionnaires related to demographic questions, psychological capital, job stress, and professional identity. Data analysis was executed using the IBM SPSS version 22.0 software and its add-in PROCESS Windows version 4.0. RESULTS: The findings indicated a statistically significant mediating effect of psychological capital between job stress and professional identity. Job stress and job stress combined with psychological capital accounted for 5.3% and 37.9%, respectively, of the variance in professional identity. The bootstrapping method corroborated the significance of the indirect effect of job stress through psychological capital (95% bootstrap CI = -4.7921, -2.4345). CONCLUSION: The current findings underscore the need for increased attention on improving the psychological capital of medical interns.

Effects of marital self-disclosure on marital relationship and psychological outcome for cancer patients: a systematic review.

PURPOSE: Literature on marital self-disclosure interventions for cancer patients lacks consistency in methodology and content. Moreover, the impact of such interventions on physical and psychological health, marital relationships, and self-disclosure ability is controversial. This review aims to systematically analyze the studies of marital self-disclosure intervention, synthesize the structure and topics of marital self-disclosure, and summarize and evaluate its effects on improving physical and psychological outcomes and marital relationships in cancer patients and their spouses. METHOD: This systematic review used the preferred reporting items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled and quasi-experimental studies published from the establishment of the database to October 2022. Marital self-disclosure interventions were conducted with both cancer patients and their spouses. Studies published in a language other than English or Chinese, and studies below a quality grade of C were excluded. Data were extracted through a standardized data collection form, and two reviewers independently extracted and evaluated the data. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and a third reviewer adjudicated in case of disagreement. The data were synthesized by vote counting based on direction of effect according to the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) reporting guideline. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included in the review. Based on quality evaluation, three studies were categorized as grade A (good), and ten studies were grade B (moderate). Seven studies reported moderate rates of participant refusal and attrition. The structure and topics of marital self-disclosure varied across different studies. The five studies had various prespecified disclosure topics, such as fear of cancer recurrence, benefit finding, and emotional distress. The overall results suggest that marital self-disclosure interventions can improve physical and psychological health, enhance marital relationships, and increase self-disclosure ability. CONCLUSION: The limited number of studies, small sample sizes, diverse intervention strategies, and methodological heterogeneity weakened the evidence base for the effectiveness of marital self-disclosure interventions. Therefore, further high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are recommended to confirm the effectiveness of such interventions. These studies should also evaluate the interventions' long-term impact, analyze optional topics and methods, identify key features, and explore the development of the best intervention program.

The Mediating Role of Work Satisfaction in the Relationship between Organizational Communication Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment of Healthcare Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The factors that influence the organizational commitment of healthcare professionals, particularly organizational communication and work satisfaction, are essential for all healthcare organizations. This is particularly important for those who are under the pressure of high demand, economic constraints, and staff shortages. This study examined the relationship between organizational communication satisfaction and organizational commitment among healthcare professionals and the mediating role of work satisfaction in the relationship. A validated self-administered questionnaire and a universal sampling approach were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 235 healthcare professionals in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 and SmartPLS software to perform partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). A STROBE checklist was used to report the results. The results show a significant positive correlation between all measured variables. Work satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between organizational communication satisfaction and organizational commitment. The results of the PLS-SEM analyses suggest that communication satisfaction and work satisfaction account for 61% of the variation in organizational commitment. This study reveals that work satisfaction and communication satisfaction are imperative to building a sense of commitment in healthcare professionals. These results reinforce the existing evidence on the factors that influence the organizational commitment of healthcare professionals. Strategies to better shape internal communication practices and improve the work environment through regular feedback to healthcare professionals are essential to strengthening their organizational commitment.

Socialization in professional reality integration for nursing student transition (SPRINT) to improve professional competence: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: Professional socialization could support competency achievement and assist the transition phase. It is rare to find quantitative studies examining the effects of professional socialization for nursing students (NS). Objectives: To investigate the effects of a socialization in professional reality integration for nursing student transition (SPRINT) to improve the professional competence of undergraduate NS in Indonesia. Design: A quasi-experimental study non-equivalent control group pre-test post-test design was conducted using convenience sampling. Participants: One hundred twenty NS (60 participants in the experimental group and 60 participants in the control group) from two nursing departments in private universities in Indonesia. Methods: The SPRINT educational intervention consisted of professional socialization training using several learning methods and activities. Meanwhile, the control group received conventional socialization. The Nurse Professional Competence short-form (NPC-SF) scale was evaluated prior to the participants' internship program, lasting from 6 to 12 weeks after clinical education in both groups. Results: SPRINT intervention significantly increased overall professional competence scores of the experimental groups higher than the control group. By comparing the mean scores in three times measurement, the six competency areas mean score increased significantly for the experimental group while, for the control only three areas of competence increased in twelve week post-test. Conclusion: A "SPRINT" as an innovative educational program developed in collaboration with academia, clinical preceptors, could improve professional competence. It is recommended to implement SPRINT program to assist the smooth transition from academic into clinical education.

Factors associated with complementary feeding practices among children aged 6-23 months in Indonesia.

BACKGROUND: Complementary foods with breastfeeding are foods or drinks given to children aged 6-23 months to meet their nutritional needs. The non-optimal provision of complementary feeding influences malnutrition in children of this age. AIMS: To analyze the factors associated with complementary feeding practices among children aged 6-23 months in Indonesia. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was employed using data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. A total of 502,800 mothers with children aged 6-23 months were recruited through multistage cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using a logistic regression test to determine the correlation between predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors and complementary feeding practices. RESULTS: A prevalence values of analysis showed that approximately 71.14%, 53.95%, and 28.13% of the children met MMF, MMD, and MAD, respectively. The probability of achieving minimum dietary diversity (MDD) was high in the following: children aged 18-23 months (odds ratio [OR] = 9.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.29-12.58), children of mothers with higher education (OR = 5.95; 95% CI = 2.17-16.34), children from households with upper wealth index (OR = 2.53; 95% CI = 1.85-3.48), children of mothers who received childbirth assistance by professionals (OR = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.20-2.20), and children of mothers who had access to the Internet (OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.06-1.50). Moreover, children from households with the upper wealth index (OR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.03-1.91), children whose mothers were employed (OR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.02-1.39) living in urban areas (OR = 1.28; 95% CI = 1.06-1.54) and children of mothers who received childbirth assistance by professionals (OR = 1.33; 95% CI = 0.98-1.82) were more likely to meet Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF). Finally, children aged 18-23 months (OR = 2.40; 95% CI = 1.81-3.17), of mothers with higher education (OR = 3.15; 95% CI = 0.94-10.60), from households with upper wealth index (OR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.05-2.90) and born with professional childbirth assistance (OR = 1.82; 95% CI = 1.21-2.75) were significantly associated with minimum acceptable diet (MAD). CONCLUSIONS: The findings revealed that the prevalence of MDD and MAD in Indonesia was low. Strategies such as improving health services, economic conditions, and education level of mothers are needed to improve infant and young child feeding in Indonesia.

Experiences of socialization in clinical education among Indonesian nursing students: A phenomenology study.

BACKGROUND: Professional socialization is an essential process of the nursing profession to internalize the values into behavior, resulting in professional identity. However, research into students' experience of professional socialization in clinical nursing education remains limited. AIM: To explore Bachelor nursing students' (NS) experience of professional socialization in clinical education in Indonesia. DESIGN: This study used a descriptive phenomenology qualitative approach. Four sessions of focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted with ten final-year NS from five teaching hospitals using the purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi methods and NVivo 12 Plus. RESULTS: The analysis identified two themes and four-subthemes in this study. The first theme is the facilitators of the socialization experience, consisting of "being a professional nurse" and "Islamic culture". The second theme hinders the socialization experience, including "inadequacy of socialization" and "nurses' unprofessional behavior." CONCLUSION: Bachelor NS experience is challenging in Indonesia in both a positive and negative way, which facilitates or hinders professional socialization. Thus, the role of a nurse educator in establishing a comprehensive professional socialization program for new NS to assist their transition from the academic setting into clinical education needs to be reassessed.
