If you're a nurse weighing the decision to go back to school, you're probably asking yourself one central question: is the time, money and effort actually worth it? For most nurses who take the leap, the answer is a resounding yes. Becoming a nurse practitioner (NP) opens the door to higher pay, greater autonomy and a better work-life balance than bedside nursing typically allows. But the right answer depends on your goals, and it's worth taking a close look at what the role really offers.

What’s trending now: From Reiki in hospitals to herbal teas for blood pressure, alternative therapies are moving into mainstream wellness spaces. Evidence gaps remain: Some remedies, like Rhus tox or vitamin E supplements, have limited or no proven benefits, and more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness. Safety first always: Herbs and supplements can interact with medications, sometimes dangerously. Consulting a healthcare provider before use is essential.

Type D personality, defined by the co-occurrence of negative affectivity and social inhibition, has been associated with poorer health outcomes in chronic diseases, including asthma. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between Type D personality and asthma control remain unclear. This cross-sectional study included 150 adult patients with asthma recruited from a tertiary outpatient clinic. Participants completed the Asthma Control Test (ACT), Type D Personality Scale (DS-14), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Type D personality traits were identified in 39.3% of the sample. Compared with non–Type D individuals, patients with Type D personality had higher depressive and anxiety symptom scores and poorer sleep quality (all p < 0.05). Mediation analyses using bootstrapping (5,000 resamples) revealed significant indirect effects of Type D personality on asthma control through depression (β = -0.088, 95% CI [-0.132, -0.047]), anxiety (β = -0.115, 95% CI [-0.158, -0.078]), and sleep quality (β = -0.057, 95% CI [-0.091, -0.029]). These indirect effects remained statistically significant after adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, and FEV1 (% predicted). These findings suggest that Type D personality is indirectly associated with poorer asthma control through increased psychological symptom burden and impaired sleep quality.

Empowerment in nursing is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of patient safety culture as the primary outcome, with patient safety activities reported as secondary outcomes where applicable. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the evidence on the association between nursing empowerment and patient safety culture and to examine whether different types of empowerment were associated with variation in effect estimates. A comprehensive search was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, with the final search completed on 6th March 2026. Eligible studies included quantitative primary studies of nurses in clinical settings that reported sufficient data for effect-size estimation. Data were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis, and subgroup, sensitivity, and reporting-bias analyses were performed. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising six cross-sectional studies and one randomized controlled trial (RCT), with a total of 1,079 participants. The meta-analysis demonstrated a statistically significant and large pooled association between nursing empowerment and patient safety culture (r = 0.721, 95% CI: 0.424 to 0.878, p < 0.001), although heterogeneity was very high (I² = 98.28%, Q(7) = 460.96, p < 0.001), with a wide prediction interval (r = -0.420 to 0.979). Subgroup analysis showed that psychological empowerment had a significant positive effect (β = 1.2385, p = 0.0022), structural empowerment showed a marginal effect (p = 0.0547), and empowerment programs were not statistically significant (p = 0.2292). Sensitivity analysis indicated that the overall finding was robust, although one study contributed disproportionately to heterogeneity. The funnel plot did not indicate asymmetry upon visual inspection, and Egger's test showed no evidence of publication bias (z = -0.03, p = 0.978). Overall, nursing empowerment was associated with better patient safety culture, but the magnitude and consistency of this association varied across empowerment types and study contexts.
