Although traditionally associated with overcrowded emergency departments, it has increasingly extended into acute inpatient settings. Differences in the organization and delivery of care across healthcare settings highlight the need to examine nurses' experiences of hallway healthcare within their specific clinical contexts. This study explored nurses' experiences of hallway healthcare in acute surgical inpatient settings.MethodsA qualitative study, guided by interpretive description, was used to explore the experiences of nurses working in surgical inpatient settings in Ontario, Canada. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit nine nurses with experience of hallway healthcare. Data were collected through individual semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify key patterns in the data.ResultsThree main themes were identified: Part of the Job, Constrained in Care and Voice, and Relational Disruption. Rather than a temporary strategy to facilitate patient flow, hallway healthcare had become normalized within participants' practice. Driven by top-down organizational decisions, participants described providing care in environments they perceived as unsafe and inappropriate for delivering person-centred surgical care. These conditions heightened their concerns about patient safety, disrupted therapeutic and workplace relationships, and placed significant professional and emotional pressure on nurses.ConclusionThis study provides new insights into nurses' experiences of hallway healthcare in surgical inpatient settings. The findings highlight the need for organizational and system-level action to create healthy work environments that enable nurses to provide safe, person-centred care.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"8445621261483295"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148892527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is grounded in Critical Race Theory and aims to answer the following research question: What are the experiences of Islamophobia for female Canadian Registered Nurses who wear the hijab? The participants in the study described experiences from their workplaces and their experience attending nursing school in Canada.MethodA total of six participants were interviewed, and the findings were analysed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis method. Muslim nurses' experiences were characterized by their sense of belonging.FindingsKey findings consist of the experiences of Islamophobia being related to the negative stereotypical identity of what it means to be a Muslim woman, being associated with these nurses, how they discover their own identity as nurses and finally, how they reconcile their personal and social identities as Muslim women with their identity as Registered Nurses.ConclusionThis study uncovers the process of self-discovery that Muslim nurses undergo after experiencing Islamophobia through being assigned an identity. This process enables them to reconcile what it means to be Muslim nurses, allowing them to practice comfortably at the workplace. Recommendations are that policy changes should be enacted, which protect Muslim nurses and work to prevent incidents of Islamophobia. Secondly, anti-racism training should be provided to both nursing students and staff to foster more supportive workplaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"353-363"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13454409/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing integration strategies often focus on regulatory pathways and employment readiness, less attention has been given to the relational and experiential role of civic engagement. This editorial examines how civic participation, particularly through volunteerism, can support migrant nurses' professional development, social connection, and workforce inclusion. Drawing on perspectives from migration, nursing workforce development, and community-engaged practice, the discussion highlights how volunteer initiatives can foster transferable skills, expand professional networks, and strengthen culturally responsive communication. Civic engagement is positioned as a meaningful space where migrant nurses develop contextual knowledge of healthcare delivery while contributing to community wellbeing. The editorial also considers the ethical and structural implications of relying on volunteerism, emphasizing the need to avoid reinforcing unpaid labour expectations without clear pathways to equitable employment. Implications for nursing education, policy, and practice are explored, including the potential role of structured civic engagement initiatives in enhancing mentorship, professional belonging, and disaster preparedness capacity. By reframing volunteerism as a relational pathway that complements traditional integration approaches, this editorial calls for the development of intentional frameworks that link civic participation to employment opportunities and professional recognition.

Undergraduate nursing students demonstrate limited interest in mental health nursing (MHN), often associated with negative attitudes toward MHN and individuals with mental illness. Understanding factors influencing these attitudes and career intentions is essential to inform targeted educational interventions.ObjectivesThis integrative review aimed to identify factors influencing undergraduate nursing students' attitudes and career interest in MHN and evaluate the impact of MHN education on these outcomes.MethodsGuided by Whittemore and Knafl's framework, a rapid integrative review was conducted across CINAHL, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and PsycINFO for English-language studies published between 2000 and October 2025. Of 362 records identified, 113 underwent screening, and 22 met inclusion criteria following full-text review. Quality appraisal employed CASP and JBI tools. Data were analyzed using constant comparison, with findings organized into structured matrices.ResultsFour themes emerged: (1) attitudes toward MHN varied widely, with more negative perceptions among first-year students; (2) overall career interest in MHN remained low to neutral; (3) influencing factors included attitudes toward mental illness, clinical exposure, and perceived preparedness; (4) MHN education improved attitudes but did not significantly increase career interest.ConclusionsAlthough MHN education enhances attitudes, it does not translate into increased career interest. Strategies such as extended clinical placements, lived-experience education, problem-based learning, and simulation may improve interest. Further rigorous research, including randomized controlled trials, is required to establish causality and inform workforce development strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"434-449"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13454411/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantitative measures assessed their abilities to identify risk factors for older adult maltreatment, and their attitudes and willingness to assess for potential indicators of maltreatment. Inductive thematic coding of the qualitative interviews revealed that these providers frequently observe older adult maltreatment in their workplaces, which is most often perpetrated by family members and geriatric care providers. Several barriers to reporting older adult maltreatment were identified, including fear of consequences, older adult apprehension, insufficient reporting knowledge, training and preparedness, and professional and institutional barriers. Although most providers accurately identified the common risk factors for older adult maltreatment on the quantitative measures, they nevertheless expressed clear individual, institutional and professional barriers to maltreatment reporting during the qualitative interviews. These findings underscore the essential need for a culture change in reporting processes, professional and institutional support, training and psychological safety to ensure that all interdisciplinary geriatric care providers have the confidence and preparation to effectively assist older adults who are at-risk for abuse and neglect.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"398-412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13454408/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research by Canadian scholars has highlighted that people who experience multiple and intersecting socio-economic barriers are more likely to receive a diagnosis only after cancer has become advanced. For people who experience incarceration, structural barriers to cancer treatment and care are further exacerbated. Yet, few studies in Canada have focused specifically on the provision of cancer care in provincial correctional settings. This study explored how nurses understand and navigate the delivery of cancer care to people who are incarcerated in British Columbia. Guided by Interpretive Description (ID) and informed by actor-network theory (ANT), the research aimed to generate practice-relevant insights by examining nurses' perspectives, experiences, and the systemic factors shaping their clinical realities. Findings from this study illustrate nurses' views that the prison's focus on security shapes how, when, and whether cancer care is delivered. Drawing on interviews with nurses, the analysis produced the following insights: 1) institutional priorities often complicated the delivery of cancer care; 2) nurses perceived systemic stigma and institutional mistrust toward patients who are incarcerated; and 3) lack of confidentiality during healthcare encounters hindered patient-centred cancer care. Despite this, nurses frequently found ways to navigate the professional tensions arising from dual responsibilities to patient care and incarceration. These insights show how cancer care is often contingent on nurses' ability to navigate systemic constraints and relational barriers, underscoring the need for integrated, trauma-informed, and equity-oriented approaches that support continuity of care across correctional and healthcare systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"472-482"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13454401/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147876045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined predatory publishing in nursing using a systems-based, behavior-focused approach.MethodsA dataset of 265 nursing journals was assessed using the Predation Index, a behavior-based instrument that evaluates observable publishing practices associated with predatory risk. Journals with publicly available information were scored and categorized as 1-3 (lower levels of predatory indicators), 4-6 (moderate levels of predatory indicators), or 7-10 (high levels of predatory indicators). Findings were interpreted using the Journal Systems Framework, which conceptualizes journals as systems shaped by governance, capacity, and intent.

While emotional experiences are known to influence clinical performance, their role during invasive procedures is rarely addressed in education or practice. This study explored how nurses trained in midline catheter insertion describe their emotional experiences during the procedure, and how these emotions emerge as they recount their technical actions and interactions with patients.Methods and ProceduresA qualitative exploratory study was conducted in two hospital vascular access services in France. Midline insertions were video-recorded and immediately followed by video-supported self-confrontation interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using directed qualitative content analysis informed by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and Plutchik's psycho-evolutionary model. Investigator triangulation supported analytic rigor.ResultsTen nurses participated, and ten procedures were analysed. Overall, forty-two emotional expressions were identified across all procedural phases. Negative emotions such as fear, apprehension, and irritation were more frequently described during needle insertion and associated with uncertainty and perceived technical risk. Positive emotions, including interest, pride, and relief, were predominantly reported after confirmation of catheter placement. Participants frequently described repeated verification behaviors and heightened attentional focus during moments perceived as clinically risky, which we interpreted as a state of vigilance accompanying emotional experience.ConclusionThese self-reported findings highlight the relevance of recognising emotions as an integral component of invasive nursing care and support the integration of emotional awareness and regulation into procedural training.</p>","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"493-505"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147976366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
