Effectiveness of Nurse-Led Psychosocial Support Programs on Anxiety and Treatment Adherence in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Vol.1(2); Pages:1-9. Published on July 2025
Abstract
Many breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy deal with increased anxiety and have difficulties sticking to their treatment regimens which can make their outcomes worse. It was a quantitative study that outlined the impact of nurse-led psychosocial support programs on anxiety and sticking with chemotherapy. Oncology nurses organized sessions that brought together counseling, emotional help and education for the participants. The amount of anxiety felt by the patients was determined by validated assessment tools and adherence was tracked with standard measurements. The study found that people experienced much less anxiety and compliant behavior was much higher than previously. Such studies prove the vital role of nurse-led psychosocial support in reducing stress and making sure patients follow their chemotherapy treatments. Integrating these programs into daily care for oncology patients is supported by the study for better results and increased well-being. Supporting both the physical health and psychological well-being of patients in normal care is what holistic cancer care is all about.

Global Nurse Mobility: Implications for The Nursing Workforce and Health Systems
Vol.1(2); Pages:10-17. Published on November 2025
Abstract
International migration of nurses has become a burning topic that touches upon the profession and the healthcare system in the world. Prompted by differences in wages, professional and working environments, opportunities to advance their careers and geopolitical reasons, the migration of nurses between low and highincome countries has resulted in an intricate maze of problems. These are shortage of workers within the motherland, excessive dependence on expat trained personnel within the motherland and the ethical issues of the recruitment technique. As much as migration could bring personal and professional advancement to the nurses, it threatens to destabilize and impact negatively on the equity of health care in other parts of the world. The paper discusses why nurse migration occurs, the effects, and how governments have responded to such migration and notes that there is need to develop international coordinated migration policies to promote workforce sustainability planning and fair distribution of care among nations.

Exploring Patient Safety Experiences Among Advanced Practice Nurses: A Qualitative Focus Group Analysis
Vol.1(2); Pages:18-24. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Patient safety is a crucial issue in health care and advanced practice nurses (APNs) have a pivotal role to play in enhancing and stimulating safe treatment of patients. This qualitative focus group research involves the study of the experience, perceptions, and issues that APNs have regarding patient safety in different clinical settings. Using an in-depth thematic analysis of the focus group interviews, a number of areas of focus were established, involving barriers to communicating, system-level restrictions, professional autonomy, and interprofessional collaboration effects upon patient outcomes. The participants emphasized not only what they contribute to patient safety but also the challenges that they face like understaffing, excessive workloads, and poor ability to make decisions. The results support the importance of healthcare systems helping and empowering APNs with better leadership positions, policy change, and lifelong education processes to improve the practice of patient safety. The present research advances the literature with an increasing number of researchers supporting the in-built role of APNs in creating safer healthcare settings.

Vol.1(2); Pages:34-40. Published on November 2025
Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the emergent theoretical framework development that can help improve compassionate leadership practices and resilience practices in the face of a public health emergency. During the time of crisis like a pandemic, the need to have a leader who is empathetic, flexible, and strong becomes eminent. This theory combines the elements of caring science, transformative leadership, and emotional intelligence all in a bid to help its leaders in the uncertain and stressful situations. It focuses on the interconnection between caring and resilient leadership practices that maintain morale, continuity and stimulate group well-being. Combining the learning evidence of crisis leadership with qualitative research findings, it can be viewed as a tool used by leaders in the field of health management and work in the context of government service organizations to both meaningfully and effectively work in a complex situation during an emergency in the health sector.
