- Profiles of sleep hygiene and influencing factors in patients with chronic conditions experiencing sleep disturbance: A latent class analysis. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152142.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: This study identified heterogeneous sleep hygiene profiles among individuals with chronic conditions, revealing that poor sleep hygiene is not a uniform construct. The findings demonstrate that these profiles are linked to distinct risk factors, primarily distinguishing between modifiable behaviors and psychosocial distress. This suggests that interventions must be tailored to the specific drivers of each profile-such as targeting lifestyle for the behaviorally-driven group or addressing psychological factors for the high-risk group-to effectively improve sleep quality in this vulnerable population.

- Latent profile analysis of ICU nurses' difficulties in caring for patients with delirium and their relationship with clinical nursing problem-solving ability. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152141.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: Delirium care difficulties among ICU nurses show marked heterogeneity. These findings may support the development of profile-specific training and organizational strategies for ICU nurses.

- Ethical considerations of undergraduate nursing students using artificial intelligence for learning: A qualitative study. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152140.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: This single-center qualitative study offers contextual insights into nursing students' ethical experiences with AI-assisted learning. These insights may inform the development of AI ethics curricula and institutional guidance, while further research is needed to explore transferability across diverse settings and to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions.

- Intensive care unit nurses knowledge, attitude, and self-awareness regarding telehealth and care quality: A cross-sectional study. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152139.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: Intensive care unit nurses demonstrated relatively favorable knowledge and positive attitudes toward telehealth; however, their practical self-awareness remained below average. Educational programs should move beyond theoretical instruction to include simulation-based and hands-on telehealth training, particularly targeting older nurses and those with longer clinical experience.

- Patient-provider partnership and advance care planning readiness among non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152138.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: ACP readiness among non-dialysis patients with CKD is not solely determined by disease severity but is closely linked to relational aspects of care. Patient-provider partnership may serve as a key mechanism shaping readiness, underscoring the importance of relationship-centered approaches in facilitating engagement in ACP.

- Smart decisions, strong teams: Reducing missed nursing care in emergency nursing. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152137.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate that in emergency departments, higher levels of clinical decision-making and teamwork are significantly associated with lower levels of missed nursing care. To achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the variables studied, future research using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods are recommended.

- Evaluating a nurse-coordinated hybrid telehealth for stable post-kidney transplant care. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152143.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: A nurse-coordinated, two-step hybrid tele-clinic is a safe and effective alternative to traditional post-KT care, reducing patient burden and improving quality of life without compromising clinical outcomes.

- Nurses' knowledge, attitudes, literacy, anxiety, and readiness towards artificial intelligence in clinical practice: An international scoping review. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152135.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: Nurses display guarded optimism towards AI, but substantial knowledge and preparedness gaps persist across regions. Because the evidence rests largely on observational studies of varying methodological quality, positive attitudes should not be read as implementation readiness; structured AI education, clear ethical governance, and sustained organisational support are needed to translate favourable attitudes into safe clinical adoption.

- Holistic needs assessment for hospitalized patients with breast cancer: A prospective cross-sectional study. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152134.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: SPARC-T is a feasible tool for assessing holistic needs in hospitalized patients with breast cancer. When integrated with an automated referral system, it may facilitate early identification of patients requiring multidisciplinary support.

- Beyond age: Cognitive performance, health, job satisfaction, and work productivity profiles associated with nurses' retirement intentions. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152126.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: Retirement intentions differed across cognitive-health-work profiles, highlighting the need for multidimensional retention strategies that address functional capacity, job satisfaction, work productivity, and healthy work environments across career stages.

- The effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in enhancing resilience and mitigating occupational burnout among nurses: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. [Systematic Review]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152125.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: MBIs may provide beneficial effects on resilience and job satisfaction among nurses. However, evidence remains limited and inconsistent on occupational burnout and broader psychological outcomes. With standardized intervention protocols and long-term follow-up, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are warranted.

- Job embeddedness among young shift-working nurses at a newly established hospital in South Korea: Associations with emotional intelligence, emotional leadership, and work-life balance. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Oct; 91:152121.AN
- CONCLUSIONS: In the context of organizational instability, job embeddedness was more strongly associated with fit-related proxy variables conceptually related to person-environment fit than with structural characteristics alone. These findings suggest that fit-oriented strategies may help support nurse retention in resource-constrained, newly established healthcare organizations.

- Development of an integrated AI-VR simulation system for preoperative nursing competency: A pilot study. [Journal Article]Appl Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 30; :152133. [Online ahead of print]AN
- CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest that AI-VSP-based VR simulation may offer a feasible and structured pre-clinical learning environment for preoperative nursing communication competency development. Future work should prioritise multimodal feedback enhancement and controlled comparative designs to evaluate educational effectiveness more rigorously.
