Audience: Nursing managers, hospital administrators, and health policy makers.
This study demonstrates that the communication skills of nurse managers, specifically in direction-giving, empathy, and meaning-making, are directly linked to higher work engagement and lower psychological distress among their nursing staff. Investing in targeted communication training for nursing leaders is therefore not merely a soft-skill initiative but a crucial strategy for enhancing workforce well-being and organizational performance in high-stress clinical environments.

Integrating routine screening for domestic violence and relationship quality into postpartum care is essential. Interventions supporting victims and improving marital satisfaction can significantly reduce PPD and enhance maternal and child health outcomes.

Audience: Emergency Department managers, emergency nurses, and clinical policymakers.
In diabetic emergencies, a low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is the strongest predictor of mortality, even more critical than extreme blood glucose levels. Triage protocols must prioritize immediate neurological assessment alongside glucose management to identify high-risk patients and guide life-saving interventions.
