    Abstract:
    Maintaining cultural safety during advance care planning (ACP) discussions is an essential component of holistic care provision. Most nurses feel unprepared to engage in ACP and the current literature offers limited recommendations on how nurses can lead culturally safe ACP discussions. Internationally educated nurses (IENs) have unique personal and professional experiences to address this gap.

    In recent years there has been a resurgence of descriptive research that seeks to document, describe, and analyze the conditions under which infants and children learn in a variety of natural settings. Descriptive developmental research enhances fundamental understanding and facilitates the generation and refinement of comprehensive theories of early learning and development. Incorporating open science practices into descriptive research increases the transparency, reliability, and replicability of this work. However, many existing open-science practices have been oriented toward experimental rather than descriptive studies and thus translate less directly to work that is more descriptive in nature. We discuss a number of unique considerations for incorporating open-science practices into descriptive developmental research, providing examples from existing and ongoing studies and suggestions for how descriptive research and open science can coexist productively. Our overarching goal is to provide a resource for anyone who intends to do open, descriptive, developmental research.

    Purpose: This study was done to identify the relationships among nursing professionalism, nursing work environment, and patient safety activities, and to analyze the factors influencing nurses' patient safety nursing activities.Methods: This descriptive study included 270 nurses from six general hospitals.Questionnaires were used to collect data between August 20 and September 21, 2018, using questionnaires.Analyses included descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression, conducted using IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0.Results: Mean scores on nursing professionalism, nursing work environment, and patient safety nursing activities were 3.51±0.41,2.44±0.45,and 4.39±0.50,respectively.The patient safety nursing activities score was positively correlated with subscales of nursing professionalism variable: professional self-concept (r=.15, p=.019), social recognition (r=.10, p=.036), professional identity in nursing (r=.24, p<.001), role of nursing practice (r=.16, p=.012), nursing foundation for quality of care (r=.19, p=.003), and nurse manager's ability (r=.14, p=.031).Patient safety nursing activities were influenced by professional identity in nursing (β=.22,p=.001) and nursing foundation for quality of care (β=.15, p=.001), which explained 8.0% of the variance.Conclusion: These results suggest that nurse managers should focus on creating an appropriate nursing environment and facilitating nursing professionalism to enhance hospital nurses' patient safety nursing activities.
