This study conducts a bibliometric analysis (BA) to map the research landscape surrounding chronic kidney disease (CKD) and iron overload over the past decade. Utilizing PubMed as the primary database, a systematic search strategy was developed using BA guidelines, incorporating keyword and MeSH term refinements for comprehensive data retrieval. A Boolean operator-based search strategy was applied, capturing literature from 2014 to the first quarter of 2024, with inclusion criteria focusing on articles and review articles published in English. An initial pool of 408 records was narrowed to 52 articles after applying filters and exclusions based on relevance and document type. Data analysis employed the Java-based bibliometric tool VOSviewer, facilitating citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping, and network visualization of author and institutional contributions. MeSH terms and keywords were analyzed for frequency and signal strength, with \"Humans,\" \"Iron,\" and \"Iron Overload\" emerging as dominant terms. Trends in publication activity from 2014 to 2024 revealed cyclic patterns influenced by external factors. The institutional analysis highlighted contributions from key healthcare and research institutions globally. The findings underline significant themes, contributors, and research gaps within the field, providing valuable insights for future CKD and iron management studies. This study not only identifies major trends and collaborative networks but also highlights potential areas for advancing patient care and treatment strategies for CKD patients with iron-related conditions.

Effective pain management, particularly non‐pharmacological pain management (NPPM), is a critical component of pediatric care. Tertiary care settings play a pivotal role in implementing and modeling best practices in NPPM due to their specialized services, multidisciplinary teams, and access to advanced resources. As tertiary public hospitals often handle complex and severe pediatric cases, they serve as a benchmark for high‐quality, holistic pain management practices, including non‐pharmacological approaches. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perceived practices of pediatric nurses regarding NPPM in tertiary public hospitals in Qatar. Additionally, the study explored the association between nurses' demographic characteristics and their competencies in NPPM. A cross‐sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 136 pediatric nurses in emergency and inpatient units of tertiary public hospitals between August and October 2024. Proportionate sampling was used to select participants. A structured, self‐administered questionnaire adapted from validated tools assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Ethical approval was obtained, and data collection adhered to privacy and confidentiality protocols. The mean age of participants was 36.9 ± 5.7 years, with most reporting workload challenges (94.1%) and insufficient NPPM resources (58.8%). The nurse‐to‐patient ratio was most reported as 1–4 (58.1%), with a smaller proportion working under undetermined ratios (39.0%). A majority (94.1%) reported experiencing workload challenges, and 58.8% reported insufficient NPPM resources. The mean knowledge score was 10.4 ± 2.1, reflecting moderate understanding. While 86.8% correctly identified the best judge of a patient's pain intensity, gaps in knowledge regarding chronic pain management and pediatric pain assessment were evident. The mean attitude score was 50.3 ± 5.9, indicating a positive outlook toward NPPM, though only 41.9% deemed their training adequate. Practices revealed a mean score of 57.3 ± 6.8, with high usage of preparation techniques (87.5%) and verbal reassurance (86.7%). However, methods like guided imagery were underutilized (47.8%). Family involvement in pain management was emphasized, with 92.6% of nurses integrating family participation. This study found that pediatric nurses demonstrate positive attitudes toward non‐pharmacological pain management (NPPM) but face gaps in chronic pain management and pediatric pain assessment. Nurse‐to‐patient ratios also influenced practice, with heavier workloads limiting individualized care. Targeted education, interprofessional collaboration, adequate resources, and evidence‐based staffing are essential to strengthen NPPM competencies and improve pediatric pain outcomes. Despite positive attitudes and the adoption of certain effective practices, significant gaps remain in knowledge and the consistent application of NPPM techniques among pediatric nurses in tertiary care settings.

Background Physical activity (PA) is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health, particularly for healthcare professionals like nurses, whose demanding roles can impact their well-being. Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) reflects caregiving roles’ positive and negative outcomes, encompassing compassion, satisfaction, burnout, and trauma stress. This study explores the association between physical activity and ProQOL among nurses in Qatar. Methods A quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), with a sample size of 384, selected from approximately 10,000 nurses. Data was collected via an online survey using validated tools: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL-5). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and ANOVA were applied to analyze associations between PA levels, ProQOL, and various sociodemographic, occupational, and health-related factors. Results A total of 430 nurses participated (82.1% female, mean age: 43.3 ± 7.2 years). Most participants reported engaging in low (46.5%) or moderate (51.6%) physical activity levels. Moderate PA was significantly associated with higher ProQOL scores, particularly compassion satisfaction (40.3 ± 6.3), compared to low (36.9 ± 7.2) and high PA levels (38.7 ± 6.9). Burnout showed no significant association with PA levels. Sociodemographic factors, including age and shift patterns, were associated with PA, with moderate PA being more common among slightly older nurses and those working 8-hour shifts. Conclusion Moderate physical activity positively associates with nurses’ professional quality of life, particularly by enhancing compassion satisfaction. While burnout did not show any significant relationship with PA, other factors like organizational support and work environment may play a more pivotal role. Promoting moderate PA among nurses through workplace interventions and supportive policies could enhance their well-being and caregiving capacity. Clinical trial number Not applicable.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) placed an unprecedented burden on the global healthcare system, severely affecting the physical and mental health of healthcare workers, particularly nurses. Nurses faced immense workloads, increased infection risks, uncertainty, and public scrutiny. Despite these challenges, nurses were lauded for their dedication and resilience in confronting the pandemic. Many experienced mortality, morbidity, and post‐COVID sequelae. This review integrates psychological resilience literature from 2020 to 2022, utilizing Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review method. A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria, focusing on how nurses demonstrated resilience during the COVID‐19 crisis. Most studies reported a moderate level of resilience, with a mean score of 62.54. Factors such as positive acceptance of change, trust in personal judgment, perceived competence, and spiritual influences were positively associated with resilience, whereas burnout, anxiety, and depressive thoughts negatively impacted it. Resilience was found to mediate the relationships between variables like perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, and quality of life. The literature suggests that healthcare administrations should foster a healthy work environment, maintain an optimistic outlook, and establish strong connections with frontline staff to mitigate the pandemic's impact. Providing supportive environments, resilience training, and mental health interventions will be crucial in enhancing resilience for future crises. This review highlights the resilience of nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic, exploring factors that influenced resilience, such as positive acceptance of change, competence, and spiritual influences. The graphical illustrates the relationships between key psychological variables, showing resilience as a mediator between stress, emotional exhaustion, and quality of life. A supportive work environment and mental health interventions are emphasized as crucial strategies for enhancing resilience in preparation for future crises.

BACKGROUND:Journal club (JC) is widely used as an educational method to support nurses in up-to-date clinical practices, acquire critical appraisal skills, and promote evidence-based nursing practice. Traditionally, JC activities were conducted as face-to-face sessions. However, after the emergence of the pandemic, many educational activities including JC turn to the online platform. This study aims to assess the perceived educational value of JC and the experience of virtual journal club (VJC) among nurses.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A cross-sectional research design was used to gather the information from the nurses using the Nursing journal club perception scale. A purposive sampling method was used to enroll 450 participants from the JC attendees of various facilities between May andAugust 2022. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.RESULTS:The data from 450 participants were analyzed with a response rate of 40.1%. The majority of the participants were females (82.4%) and belonged to the 35-44 years' age group (39.6%). Mostly, the subjects were registered nurses or midwives (78%) and had more than 5 years of clinical experience (45.8%). The mean perceived educational value of JC and VJC was 62.9 ± 8.3 and 56.3 ± 8.9, respectively. The nurse educators are holding higher educational value of JC as compared to other participants including clinical nurses, charge nurses, head nurses, and director of nurses (P = 0.03). Additionally, 90% of participants strongly agreed that the nursing journal club helps them to disseminate and reinforce evidence-based practice, update their clinical knowledge, and was very informative. Furthermore, 80% of participants agreed that educational standards, social networking, and time allocation of the VJC are enhancing the chance of attending more sessions.CONCLUSION:The JC has a vital role in preparing nurses for promoting research culture and practicing evidence-based nursing care. The national health strategies are focused on improving research capabilities and enhancing research within the national context. The implementation of evidence-based practice in healthcare involves enhancing formal research opportunities, promoting continuing education in research, developing skills in addressing research gaps, and enhancing research-oriented cultures in healthcare facilities. The nursing leadership can play a key role to support the initiatives to develop and conduct nursing JC in their facilities to improve the nurse's research skills and evidence-based nursing practice.
