For the Multi-State Nursing Care and Patient Safety survey, we used a two-stage sampling design to collect information from registered nurses in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida. Our sampling frame was the state licensure lists for 2006–07. We surveyed nurses by mail at their homes.
Nurses who worked in hospitals were asked to provide the name of their employer, which allowed us to aggregate responses by hospital for the analysis of nurses’ reports and patient satisfaction. The response rate was 36 percent. To test for sample bias, we conducted a random-sample survey of nonrespondents from Pennsylvania and California, received a response rate of 91 percent, and found no response bias pertinent to this report.12 Further details on the sampling approach have been described elsewhere,9 (link) and are available in the Appendix.13 The survey included questions about the nurses’ employment status and, for working nurses, their setting, role, work environment, experience of burnout, and job satisfaction. As in other work,14 (link) we assessed burnout in terms of emotional exhaustion, which is the depletion of one’s emotional and physical resources due to work stress as measured on the nine-item emotional exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory.6 (link) Burnout is common in human service occupations such as nursing, and it results in nurses’ distancing themselves emotionally and cognitively from their work.6 (link) Nurses were classified as burned out if their score was higher than the published average (27 or higher) for workers in health professions.15 ,16 Overall we measured job satisfaction and nurses’ satisfaction with specific aspects of their jobs—including salaries, benefits, opportunities for advancement, work schedules, independence, and professional status—on a four-point scale from “very satisfied” to “very dissatisfied.” Satisfaction measures were dichotomized so that nurses who reported being either “very dissatisfied” or “a little dissatisfied” were characterized as “dissatisfied.”

Hospitals were recruited from nine Chinese provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions which spanned all eight economic zones in mainland China. The survey method, which has been described in detail previously
[14 (link)], involves a stratified and purposive sample that recruited 20 hospitals from each of eight geographic areas, except for one research site where 21 hospitals were recruited. Equal numbers of level 2 hospitals (300 to 500 beds) and level 3 hospitals (over 500 beds) were drawn. In addition to the differences in bed size, level 3 hospitals, unlike level 2 hospitals, are usually major hospitals with high technology capacity and resources to care for more complex patients. The hospital sample was stratified to represent different urban community contexts (municipality, capital cities, and non-capital cities) and different sponsorship (provincial hospitals, municipal hospitals, and university hospitals). The response rate (agreement to participate) at the hospital level was 96%, and the few hospitals that refused to participate among the hospitals that were initially sampled were replaced by hospitals at the same level and in the same location categories. Thus while China is a very large country, the systematic sampling of hospitals is believed to have resulted in a hospital study population reasonably representative of level 2 and level 3 hospitals that care for patients with complex medical conditions.
After hospital selection, at least four units were randomly chosen from all the medical, post-operative surgical, and ICUs in each hospital. All registered nurses from the selected units, excluding nurse managers, were informed of the purpose of the study and its voluntary nature, and were invited to participate by a designated research nurse in each hospital. Ninety-five percent of sampled registered nurses (RNs) completed the confidential surveys which were sent unopened to the research team at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) for analysis
[14 (link)].
In each selected unit patients with at least 3-day inpatient stays were also sampled on a designated day with a minimum target of 5 patients per unit, and 30 patients from each hospital. A 3-day stay has been established by previous research to result in patient satisfaction assessments with predictive validity
[17 (link),18 (link)]. The overall response rate for the patient survey was 89%, with a total of 6,494 patients from 181 hospitals, and an average of 36 patients per hospital.
The China nurse survey was based on the well-designed and rigorously vetted University of Pennsylvania Multi-State Nursing Care and Patient Safety Study
[19 (link)]. The patient survey instrument was the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey
[20 (link)]. Both survey questionnaires were translated to Mandarin and back-translated to English by two bilingual nursing researchers independently. Items that were not culturally relevant to Chinese nurses were removed or revised. Before utilization, both questionnaires were pilot tested in one Chinese hospital with high content validity
[21 (link)-23 ].
A hospital survey was also sent to the department of nursing in each participating hospital to collect information on hospital characteristics such as teaching status, hospital level designation, number of inpatient beds, and number of medical and surgical units and ICUs. The three surveys were linked by unique hospital identification numbers prior to the data analyses.

The ASPRA is a prospective cohort study of older adults who are registered in the NHS and reside in 2 rural towns (Haanmi-ri and Gaesu-ri) in Daehwa-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea. Pyeongchang-gun (County) is located 180 kilometers east of Seoul, with a total population size of 43,660 and older adults comprising 22% (Fig. 1). Due to the geographical distance to cities, the residents receive medical care almost exclusively from the regional CHPs.
Between October and December 2014, screening and recruitment took place in Haanmi-ri and Gaesu-ri. From the NHS member roster, potentially eligible residents were identified. They received a letter or a phone call from nurses to visit the CHP for their upcoming annual health examination or vaccination. If they were not able to attend, nurses made a home visit. A resident was considered eligible if he/she was: 1) aged 65 years or older; 2) registered in the NHS; 3) ambulatory with or without an assistive device; 4) living at home at the time of the assessment; and 5) able to provide informed consent. Excluded were those who were: 1) living in a nursing home; 2) hospitalized; or 3) bed-ridden and receiving a nursing-home level care at home. Because the study presents no more than minimal risk to the participants, a verbal informed consent was obtained.
To assess whether the ASPRA cohort is representative of older Koreans in rural communities, we analyzed data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (14 (link)), conducted in 2013 and including 8,018 adults aged 65 years or older.

The study took place in the second year of a three-year Bachelor of Nursing programme at a Norwegian university. This undergraduate nursing education programme entailed 180 credits in the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) [34 ]. More specifically, the nursing students got 90 ECTS credits from theoretical courses mainly in the academic setting, minimum 75 ECTS credits from clinical placement in a variety of settings, and maximum 15 ECTS credits from simulation-based education in laboratories [34 ]. The study was conducted in two learning settings: a simulation centre on the university campus and an acute care hospital unit.
In the simulation setting, the students took part in a two-day simulation-based education course comprising six simulation sessions focusing on different deteriorated patient conditions and diagnoses. Nine faculty members were involved as facilitators and operators. Students were divided into groups of six to nine, alternating between the roles of nurse and observer. The simulation environment mirrored a patient room in a hospital unit and Laerdal SimMan 3G™ and ALS™ manikins were used. Each simulation session (90 min) consisted of a prebriefing (15 min), a simulated scenario (15 min), a viewing of the video recording of the simulated scenario (15 min), and a facilitator-led group debriefing (45 min). For the debriefing, the Promoting Excellence and Reflection in Simulation (PEARLS) structured and scripted debriefing [35 (link)] method was used.
After the simulation-based education course, the students attended an eight-week clinical placement course in a medical or surgical hospital unit hosting adult patients with acute, critical, and chronic conditions. Students provided nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse working in the relevant unit. Nurse educators supervised the students in groups to promote reflection and learning and to evaluate their learning outcomes.
The learning outcomes for both courses entailed the same clinical judgment skills.

The descriptive information section included age, gender, experience as a surgical nurse, education related to VTE, and source of education. The semi-structured interview questionnaire included two questions focused on nursing care practices for VTE prevention and barriers faced during VTE prophylaxis in total knee and hip arthroplasty patients. The two questions were:

What are your nursing care practices as preventions in total knee and hip arthroplasty patients at risk of venous thromboembolism?

What barriers do you face during used VTE nursing care practices in total knee and hip arthroplasty patients at risk of venous thromboembolism?

This study included all residents and HCWs in Israeli LTCFs who were screened weekly during the second wave of COVID-19, which occurred between July 13, 2020, and November 21, 2020. We compared COVID-19 morbidity and mortality of LTCF residents before and after the implementation of a weekly, nationwide, government-funded screening of LTCF personnel for SARS-CoV-2, starting July 13, 2020, and using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as the main testing technology.
LTCFs across Israel encompass a broad range of types of institutions ranging from home-like facilities to those providing specialized medical care. These facilities include long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, residential homes, hostels for people with disabilities, palliative care centers, and rehabilitation centers. The wards are categorized based on the physical and cognitive function of their residents: independent, semi-independent, cognitively frail, frail, requiring simple nursing care, and requiring skilled nursing care. Independent residents are patients who are cognitively competent and do not need help with ADL. Semi-independent residents require some assistance due to disabilities. Frail patients are cognitively impaired and are either independent or need help with ADL. Patients requiring nursing care, skilled nursing care, and/or psychogeriatric care are patients who are cognitively impaired, need significant help with ADL, and need constant medical observation and monitoring.
