AAt Safety and Health for Medical Workers (SHMW; P-ISSN: 3048-3786, E-ISSN: 3047-9460), we measure the value of research not by indexation alone, but by credible novelty, methodological rigor, and demonstrable benefit to frontline practice. High indexing can amplify dissemination, yet it is secondary to evidence that reduces exposure, strengthens infection prevention, improves ergonomics, and supports psychosocial well-being across healthcare settings. We therefore prioritize manuscripts that propose bold, testable ideas; report transparent methods and reproducible analyses; and translate findings into implementable solutions for workers, institutions, and policymakers. We welcome implementation studies, mixed-methods designs, replications, and well-documented null or negative results, alongside open data/code and stakeholder co-design. Our commitment is simple: if research does not meaningfully improve safety and health at work, it remains incomplete regardless of ranking. We invite authors who share this purpose to advance actionable science with SHMW.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the association of healthcare workforce training with patient safety in public and private hospitals of Pakistan. In particular, it needs to determine any gap in curricula and the necessary development in training programs that could enhance patient safety practices.Methods: Survey conducted on 500 healthcare professionals working in Pakistan tested PATH through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyzing six variables likely to impact patient safety outcomes.Findings: The findings indicate that training quality, worker preparedness, and organizational support measure as strong predictors of improved patient safety outcomes. In addition, workforce readiness was a complete mediator between other independent variables and patient safety enhancements. Two issues identified as keys to more effective patient safety practices were both curriculum gaps between patient safety knowledge and training standardization.Novelty: The research illuminates the areas of curriculum deficits in the healthcare workforce training systems across Pakistan that limit the extent to which patients are safe. For example, this research emphasises the importance of workforce readiness to addressing these gaps and ultimately achieving better safety outcomes. Finally, the application of SEM to assess complex relationships between variables represents another methodological contribution of this study.Research Implications: These findings suggest that there is a need in Pakistan for quality improvement of curricula, standardization of training programs, and better work readiness among new graduates of healthcare training programs. Closing these curriculum gaps with deliberate intention will pave the way for creating a culture of safety within healthcare organizations and ultimately to better patient care outcomes

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to uncover effective strategies for fostering an equitable environment for LGBTQ+ individuals as well as potential barriers to achieving this and classifies these strategies based using the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) framework.Methods: We conducted a qualitative exploration using in-depth interviews with chief nurses at a selected sample of healthcare organizations throughout Thailand. Thematic analysis was performed to identify recurring themes and classify strategies according to the ERIC framework.Findings: The study highlighted five factors that influenced the application of LGBTQ+-inclusive practices: corporate training programs, clarity in organization policy and directives, support from management,  tackling culture in the organization, and (5) staff participation in continuous education. Training programs, as well as clear policy implementation, had the largest hits amongst these. The accessibility of information, combined with cultural and behavioral changes, could be contributing to the recent increase in segregation, the authors argue, and cultural resistance continues to be a significant barrier, suggesting that targeted efforts are needed to address underlying biases. Moreover, through community engagement and a digital learning tocreate breaking routes for inclusivity emerged as one of the innovative ways.Novelty: The study uniquely integrates qualitative exploration and the ERIC-framework to yield actionable recommendations for chief nurses. It draws attention to other seemingly overlooked barriers including cultural resistance and suggests creative solutions customized to the socio-cultural setting of Thailand, not mentioned in other literature.Research Implications: The insights provide practical advice for healthcare executives who want to foster inclusive settings for LGBTQ+ patients. The study highlights many of the necessary conditions tailored strategy, staff training, and policy implementation for achieving equity in health-care delivery.” These themes will provide guidance to chief nurses in Thailand as well as other areas where socio-cultural behaviours can govern clinical activity, and they provide a pathway to wider adoption of inclusive behaviours in global healthcare systems.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between death anxiety and mental health of nurses and the moderating effects of coping strategies, work engagement (WE), humility, and empirical norms on mental health.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to gather information from nurses in diverse care settings. The study utilized validated measures of death anxiety, coping strategies, work engagement, and mental health outcomes, with subsequent regression analysis elucidating significant relationships.Findings: The results indicate complex interrelationships between death anxiety and well-being, and demonstrate the importance of specific coping styles and personality factors in the maintenance of emotional health. Work engagement, and the influence of the society on workers spontaneity seem to have a major role in combating stress and enhancing well-being.Novelty: This study is original in that it weaves concepts from positive psychology throughout its examination of death anxiety in nurses to provide new insights into the interplay of internal and external forces shaping nurses' well-being.Research Implications: Supporting the emergence of healthy psychological workspace with demanding intervention can boost coping mechanism and directly increase the quality of care as well as nurse’s happiness.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the impact of quantitative and emotional work demands on burnout and mental health outcomes among frontline nurses during the COV19 pandemic in Australia.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of frontline nurses in Australia to analyse the effects of work demands on burnout, emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation, and the mental health indices of anxiety, depression and stress. Data were collected through self-report surveys and linear and quantile regression analyses were used to assess the relationships between work demands and mental health outcomes.Findings: Increased quantitative and emotional work demands were found to significantly exacerbate burnout and mental health problems. This was particularly true for nurses with pre-existing mental health problems. The severity of these effects was more pronounced in those individuals who reported higher levels of anxiety, depression and stress.Novelty: This study contributes to understanding the heterogeneity of the impact of work demands on the mental health of frontline health workers during a global health crisis, focusing in particular on the differential impact according to the severity of pre-existing mental health conditions.Research Implications: The findings highlight the need for healthcare organizations to implement targeted mental health support and workload management strategies to mitigate burnout and support frontline staff well-being during and after crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research should investigate the long-term effects and effectiveness of workload reduction and mental health improvement interventions for nurses.

Abstract

Objective: This cross-sectional quantitative study aimed to establish the prevalence, antecedents, and outcomes of workplace bullying among senior medical staff in Africa. It will look at how workplace demands, peer and managerial support and bullying affects personal and professional outcomes.Methods: We used a mixed methods approach with quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews in several African healthcare settings. The prevalence of bullying was measured using the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ-r), and the level of workplace demands and support for individuals was assessed using the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Analysis Tool.Findings: The new study found that 38% of senior doctors reported experiencing bullying on a weekly basis and even higher rates in emergency medicine and related specialties. Bullying was significantly associated with high workplace demands and low peer and managerial support. So far-reaching were the ramifications of his bullying that they undermined both individual welfare and organizational efficacy. In other words, 69.6% of responses did not indicate bullying because of alleged reasons of barriers for reporting like fear of retaliation, and lack of trust in management whatsoever.Novelty: This study offers unprecedented insights into a hitherto neglected area workplace bullying in African healthcare. It showcases novel contributing aspects, including workload and support systems, while shedding light on the barriers to reporting, providing a new lens of contention in African contexts.Research Implications: Its findings highlight the importance of schools' implementing interventions to reduce workplace bullying, including promoting supportive infrastructures, managing demands and stressors in the workplace, and creating environments for safe reporting, to protect the well-being of Africa's senior medical professionals.
