Abstract

Objectives: Healthcare systems face serious difficulties as a result of rising nurse turnover rates, which have a detrimental effect on patient outcomes and raise operating expenses. Even though it is acknowledged that keeping nurses on staff is crucial, variables like job discontent and burnout that contribute to turnover intentions are still not sufficiently addressed. One proactive way to address these problems and create a more dedicated and engaged staff is to help nurses develop job crafting skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between nurses' job crafting and their intention to remain at their current hospitals or to leave the nursing field. Methods: A self-reported online questionnaire employing the standardized Spanish version of the Job Crafting Scale was used in a cross-sectional, correlational investigation with a sample of 284 registered nurses. For the job crafting variable, statistically significant differences between two or more groups were identified using the Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric tests, respectively. To investigate the connections between the variables, the Spearman correlation coefficient was computed. Results: The average work Crafting Scale scores showed that the study's nurses possessed a high degree of work crafting. The intention to remain at work was significantly lower among nurses who scored lower on the "Decreasing impeding job demands" subscale. A lower intention to quit the nursing profession was substantially correlated with higher "Decreasing impeding job demands" ratings. There was a substantial correlation between nurses' intention to stay in hospitals and their intention to leave the nursing profession. Conclusions: Enhancing workload management, time management training, supportive supervision, resource availability, autonomy encouragement, team cooperation promotion, and mental health assistance are all ways to "reduce impeding job demands." It might result in more nurses staying in their jobs and in the nursing field. To effectively handle the difficulties of the worldwide nursing shortage, nursing managers and leaders should think about enhancing the work crafting skill "Decrease Hindering Demands" among nurses.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
