ABSTRACTDespite the global expansion of medical cannabis, limited empirical attention has been given to the sociocultural and religious factors shaping patient attitudes, particularly in multi‐faith societies. Israel provides a distinctive context for such examination, combining advanced medical cannabis regulation with substantial religious diversity. This cross‐sectional study examined how religious affiliation and trust in the medical profession influence attitudes toward medical and recreational cannabis among patients in Northern Israel. A survey was administered to 374 hospitalized patients from four religious groups—Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze—using validated measures of cannabis‐related attitudes and trust in the medical profession. Exploratory factor analyses supported scale validity and reliability. Analyses included ANCOVA and correlations, controlling for age, religiosity, and prior exposure to medical cannabis. Attitudes toward cannabis differed significantly by religious affiliation. Christian participants reported the most favorable views toward both medical and recreational cannabis, followed by Jewish respondents, while Muslim and Druze participants expressed more conservative attitudes. Contrary to prior literature, higher trust in the medical profession was associated with more negative cannabis attitudes overall. A mixed‐design ANCOVA revealed a significant interaction between religious affiliation, trust level, and cannabis type, indicating religion‐specific patterns in how trust shapes cannabis attitudes. These findings underscore the importance of culturally and religiously informed health communication and policy approaches in pluralistic healthcare settings.

The rapid expansion of digital health technologies-including telemedicine, wearable devices, and AI-driven diagnostics-has transformed healthcare practices by mediating how care is delivered, perceived, and experienced. While ethical debates in digital health often focus on data governance, privacy, and equitable access, less attention has been paid to digitally mediated healthcare as an embodied practice, particularly in nursing contexts. This article develops a nursing-phenomenological framework for digital health ethics by focusing on how digital technologies mediate patients' embodied experiences of illness and care. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of the lived body, the analysis examines how digitally mediated care reshapes bodily schema, perception, and presence in clinical encounters. Integrating Don Ihde's postphenomenology, the article further shows how technologies actively mediate perception, co-constitute embodiment, and generate multiple stabilities that shape clinical interpretation, patient engagement, and nursing practice. The central claim is that digital health ethics must attend not only to abstract bioethical principles but also to the embodied and technologically mediated conditions under which care is experienced and enacted. By clarifying the experiential and technological dimensions of digitally mediated healthcare, this approach offers a situated ethical lens with practical implications for nursing practice, technological design, and health policy.

This study critically examines how home care nursing is constructed as a policy problem in the 2024 Danish Health Reform. Drawing on Bacchi's "What is the Problem Represented to be?" (WPR) framework, we analyze the reform document to uncover the discursive mechanisms through which home care nursing is problematized, framed, and governed. The analysis identifies four dominant problem representations: unequal access to care, fragmented patient trajectories, insufficient municipal competencies, and an overreliance on hospital-based services. These representations legitimize the centralization of healthcare governance and the transfer of specialized nursing tasks from municipalities to regions. In this framing, home care nursing is discursively positioned as "general" and less complex, despite its central role in coordinating care and managing chronic conditions. Silences regarding working conditions, patient experiences, and structural determinants of health further marginalize nursing expertise. The reform's framing produces discursive, subjectification, and lived effects that risk undermining care continuity and professional recognition. We argue that the reform reflects a technocratic logic that privileges specialization and structural reorganization, while neglecting the relational and contextual dimensions of nursing practice. This study contributes to critical nursing inquiry by highlighting the need for inclusive policy processes that recognize the complexity of home care nursing and the value of frontline professional knowledge.

The NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory (JST) occupies an important and debated position in nursing education. It is widely used for its practical value but often criticized for lacking theoretical clarity. Traditional evaluation methods rely on single theoretical perspectives and have not resolved this contradiction, leading to fragmented and incomplete assessments. This study presents a Human-AI collaborative framework for comprehensive meta-theoretical analysis and uses JST as a demonstration case. The framework is based on the concept of crystallization and combines evaluation criteria from Fawcett, Meleis, and Walker and Avant. Artificial intelligence is used to organize and systematically analyze complex and multidimensional theoretical evidence, while the human researcher performs interpretation and synthesis. The findings show that JST's lack of precision is not a weakness but a strength that allows it to function as a boundary object. It serves as a flexible structure that supports collaboration across nursing education, research, and practice. This study provides a practical and transparent model for using Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence in academic research. It shows how technological tools can augment rather than displace the critical, interpretive judgment of nursing scholars.

Evaluating nurses' professionalism and the obstacles they face is crucial for enhancing healthcare quality and professional satisfaction. The identified challenges still appear to be similar on a global scale. The present cross-sectional study investigated nurses' challenges in meeting professional standards in tertiary healthcare and explored the link between nurses' values and the underlying reasons for these challenges. Data were collected from 500 nurses at a state university hospital using three tools: "Nurse Introduction Form" for sociodemographic and work-related information, "Professionalism Form" to assess understanding of professionalism criteria and barriers, and "Nurses' Professional Values Scale." Results show a positive relationship between the attainability of professional standards and values. The most significant obstacle hindering the achievement of professional standards is systemic. Nurses lack awareness of professional values and are dissatisfied with their profession, especially due to negative working conditions and low income. Due to a lack of authorization, nurses are often unable to provide services fully in line with professional standards. Additionally, this lack of authorization can lead to deviations from their defined job responsibilities. Nurses have limited autonomy and decision-making power despite prioritizing values like human dignity. Meeting professional standards is linked to strongly holding professional values. The relationships between negative factors and NPVS scores show how these issues shape nurses' perception of professionalism.

A person-centred approach in healthcare has garnered increasing global attention and is promoted in research and by the WHO as an approach that holds potential for improving the quality of healthcare, patient safety and nurses' work environment. This, in turn, supports the recruitment and retention of nurses. This institutional ethnography is situated on a Danish University hospital where a person-centred approach is central to the hospitals' visions, goals and strategy in nursing practice. We explore the connections between institutional discourses and nurses' negotiations of meaning and identity and the implications for a person-centred approach. These connections often remain invisible until they are subjected to analysis. The study is based on participant observation, interviews with nurses and nurse managers and scrutiny of the fields' documents. Additionally, we conducted a series of co-creation workshops (WS) with nurses as co-researchers to facilitate critical reflection through joint analysis. The empirical material is analysed by the authors by using mapping and Bakhtin's concept of voice. This study sheds light on the multiple ways in which policy and institutional discourses constitute ruling relations that activate, mediate and coordinate nursing practice as institutional logics infuse nurses' person-centred, holistic voice. Thus, the study provides perspectives on how neoliberal efficiency discourses contribute to a cross-pressure affecting nurses' work environment, shaping their ability to engage in person-centred care and communication.

Perioperative nursing is essential to safe surgical systems, yet remains marginal in nursing education and policy, contributing to workforce shortages and inconsistent entry pathways. This study examined how entry to perioperative nursing is represented in Australian policy and experienced by nurses entering the specialty. It focused on how policy, education and organisational conditions shape access, learning and support. An explanatory concurrent mixed methods design, underpinned by a critical realist framework, integrated policy analysis and survey data from 226 perioperative nurses. Findings revealed that relational and structural constraints shaped support, opportunity and recognition in entry to perioperative nursing. Policy analysis showed entry is treated as a local organisational matter rather than a structured specialty transition. Factor analysis identified two constructs: Legitimate Learners and Useful Bodies. Thematic analysis highlighted barriers limiting specialty exposure, access and post-entry support. Across data sources, power asymmetry emerged as a shared mechanism producing ontological insecurity. Structural reform is needed to position perioperative nursing as a supported specialty transition rather than a staffing solution.
