Aims: The leader's ability to act with self‐awareness, lead with generosity, and consider others' opinions is what defines humility leadership. In recent healthcare literature, there has been extensive exploration of humility leadership and psychological safety, but these studies were non‐nursing. It is crucial to understand how humble leaders can empower their staff's psychological safety, as inclusivity is a key aspect of humility leadership and is closely linked to psychological safety. Therefore, this study examined the association between nursing leaders' humility leadership and team members' psychological safety. Design: A quantitative cross‐sectional design was used in the current study. Methods: To assess the studied variables, 245 nursing academics, nurses, and nursing leaders were recruited from different universities and hospitals using the convenience snowball sampling technique, yielding a response rate of 70%. After a pilot study, an online survey using Google Forms was hosted in 2022. Findings: The psychological safety of nursing team members was not found to be associated with the humility leadership of nursing leaders. Despite the participants' reports of their nursing leaders exhibiting humility leadership (mean = 3.57/5, SE = 0.055), the participants also reported that psychological safety was borderline (mean = 3.09/5, SE = 0.041). Conclusion: The borderline nursing team members' psychological safety implies that different types of leadership may have an impact on the psychological safety of nursing team members. The lack of association between nursing leaders' humility leadership and the psychological safety of nursing team members highlights the need for further understanding and effort from nursing leaders to establish psychologically safe work environments. Impact: This research offers valuable insights into how the humility of nursing leaders impacts the psychological safety of nursing team members. The psychological safety of the nursing team members highlights the specific responsibilities that nursing leaders should assume to establish psychologically safe work environments. Patient or Public Contribution: There was no Patient or Public Contribution, as the sample included nursing academics, nurses, and nursing leaders recruited from different universities and hospitals. Implications for Practice/Policy: A simple intervention that humble leaders can initiate is inclusivity, where subordinates' positive worth, strengths, and contributions are acknowledged. Inclusivity is a characteristic of humility leadership.Improving teams'' psychological safety calls to promote a culture of civility in the workplace.A random and larger sample is needed, including other types of universities and hospitals, using other research designs across other cultures.

This study aimed to assess and compare the global health competencies (GHCs) of nursing students in Jordan. GHCs are crucial to ensure the delivery of culturally sensitive care to diverse populations. A cross-sectional survey using the GHC questionnaire was administered to 256 nursing students. Students ranked their ability in health implications of migration, travel, and displacement as the highest domain and health care as a human right and development resources as the lowest. Assessing nursing students' GHCs is important as they pursue their responsibilities toward global health in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The term “cultural humility” is often used, but both society and professionals, including nurses, lack a clear understanding of its meaning. This study examined the relationships, predictors, and differences of nurse leaders’ cultural humility in nursing practice, as perceived by hospital nurses.A quantitative transverse and correlational study was implemented with a convenience sample of 350 Jordanian registered nurses (RNs).Nurses “agreed” on the presence of nurse leaders’ cultural humility in nursing practice, but it was low. Working rotating shifts, holding a Baccalaureate degree in nursing or less, and having graduated from a private university predicted the perceived nurse leaders’ cultural humility in nursing practice. Most differences in perceived nurse leaders’ cultural humility in nursing practice came from nurses who worked rotating shifts when compared to those who worked day shifts.Nurse leaders must practice open communication and embrace a receptive mind-set, as this will help eradicate the tendency of nurse leaders to believe they know “know-it-all.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Students' health-related anxiety may exacerbate cyberchondria and internet addiction (IA), especially during pandemics such as the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the associations of students' demographic and academic characteristics with cyberchondria, anxiety, and IA have not yet been examined. Aim: The present study aimed to compare university-level students' scores in cyberchondria, IA, and anxiety (i.e. anxiety sensitivity, health anxiety, and coronavirus anxiety) based on students' characteristics of number of years online, grade point average (GPA), the field of study, year of study, gender, and the availability of Internet access at school. Methods: Data were collected using valid questionnaires from 143 university-level students via a web-based survey. Results: Cyberchondria levels were moderate, IA mild, anxiety sensitivity low, health anxiety typical, and coronavirus anxiety functional. No significant differences in the total scores of the compared variables were noted between the compared groups. However, some individual items differed, as follows: 1) Cyberchondria differed according to the student's GPA and the availability of the Internet access at school and 2) IA differed according to all characteristics; and 3) anxiety sensitivity and health anxiety differed according to students' GPA. Conclusions: The students did not demonstrate high levels of cyberchondria, IA, anxiety sensitivity, or anxiety caused by searching for online health information. Conceptual differences in the concepts can be used in designing interventions to help students prevent and manage such challenges and address avoidance behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stroke, coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, congenital heart disease, and rheumatic heart disease are classified as "cardiovascular diseases." Most of the time, smoking is presented with cardiovascular diseases. Regrettably, decision-makers of the healthcare sector pay little attention to cardiovascular diseases. This paper aimed to raise the awareness of healthcare decision-makers about the need to develop policies to address smoking and its impact on cardiovascular diseases in Jordan, a country with an increasing smoking rate.
