Nurses’ ethical sensitivity forms the basis for identifying ethical conflicts. Ethical decision-making abilities are closely related to ethical conflict. However, there are currently no reports on the pathways between ethical sensitivity, decision-making ability, and conflicts among ICU nurses.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; Based on the cognitive-behavioral theory, a structural equation model was developed to quantitatively analyze the relationships between ICU nurses’ ethical sensitivity, decision-making ability, and conflicts.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods:&lt;/b&gt; A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving ICU nurses from six general hospitals in China from May to July 2024, using the General Information Questionnaire, Ethical Conflict Nursing Questionnaire–Critical Care Version (ECNQ-CCV), Chinese Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire–Revised Version (MSQ-R-CV, including the dimensions of moral responsibility and strength and sense of moral burden), and Chinese version of judgment about nursing decision (JAND-CE). Descriptive analyses were conducted with SPSS 25.0, and a structural equation model (using Amos 26.0) was performed to identify path relationships between the variables.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The constructed model demonstrated a strong overall fit, and there were significant correlations between ethical sensitivity, decision-making ability, and conflicts among Chinese ICU nurses (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.05).

We invited nurses from cancer hospitals in 12 provinces in China to complete an online survey from April to June 2023. Through the online Questionnaire Star platform, invited nurses provided demographic information and completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Nurse Safety Behaviors Scale, and the Patient Safety Competency Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to identify heterogeneous characteristics of nurse burnout.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Results:</b> From a person-centered perspective, nurse burnout was categorized into three latent profiles: “high achievement stable type” (70.3%), “high-efficiency contradictory type” (6.6%), and “high-pressure adaptive type” (23.1%). From a variable-centered perspective, patient safety competency partially mediated the relationship between burnout profiles and nurse safety behaviors.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Conclusion:</b> This study identified three heterogeneous latent profiles of burnout among cancer hospital nurses and highlighted the significant impact of excessive working hours and lack of safety training on burnout across different job titles and income levels. Additionally, it verified the mediation effect of patient safety competency between burnout profiles and nurse safety behaviors. Future treatments should focus on high-risk populations by offering improved safety training and suitable work schedules to reduce burnout. Furthermore, personalized measures to enhance nurses’ safety competencies should be adopted to improve burnout and safety behaviors. This study integrates person-centered and variable-centered methods, offering new insights and underscoring the critical role of safety in mitigating burnout.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jonm/3793927","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
