Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the mediating effect of patient‐reported missed care in the relationship between care dependency, adverse events, trust in nurses and satisfaction with nursing care. Design: A cross‐sectional and correlational study. Methods: A total of 374 patients were recruited from the medical and surgical inpatient units of two public university hospitals in Türkiye using a convenience sampling method from May to August 2022. The data were collected using the Care Dependency Scale, MISSCARE Survey‐Patient, Trust in Nurses Scale and Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale. The relationships between the variables were analysed using a sequential mediation model (Model 6) in Hayes' PROCESS macro. Results: Care dependency was found to have a significant negative effect on misscare‐communication; however, it had no significant effect on misscare‐basic care. Misscare‐communication had a significant positive effect on the experience of adverse events, while misscare‐basic care had no significant effect. Misscare‐communication and basic care had a significant negative effect on trust in nurses and satisfaction with nursing care. Misscare‐communication was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between care dependency and experiencing adverse events, trust in nurses and satisfaction with nursing care. Conclusion: The results emphasize the importance of misscare‐basic care, communication and patients' care dependency in improving patient outcomes such as experiencing adverse events, trust in nurses and satisfaction with nursing care, and they extend existing nursing studies by addressing missed care and care dependency together from the perspective of patients. Impact: We urge nurse managers to consider the role of misscare in the impact of patients' level of care dependency on patient outcomes. Accordingly, nurse managers should focus first on interventions to eliminate misscare‐communication. Effective interventions to address factors that impact communication and fulfilment of basic care are necessary to achieve better patient outcomes. Reporting Method: EQUATOR guidelines were followed using the STROBE reporting method. Patient or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution. Patients only contributed to data collection. Data were obtained from patients hospitalized in the medical and surgical inpatient units of two public university hospitals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To examine the relationship between nursing work environment, nurses' perception of decent work, job satisfaction, and physical and mental health. Background: According to the psychology of working theory, work‐related and overall well‐being levels of employees with decent work increase as their basic needs are met. Methods: This study was conducted as a cross‐sectional, correlational study. The study sample consisted of 311 nurses working in two hospitals in a province of Turkey. The participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The model of the research was analyzed using structural equation modeling. This study was reported using the STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies. Results: The four dimensions of the nursing work environment were found to have a significant relationship with decent work. Decent work was found to have a direct relationship with physical and mental health. It had an indirect relationship between three subscales of work environment and physical and mental health, however, decent work had no significant relationship with job satisfaction. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated the role of decent work environment and its relationship with nurses' physical and mental health. Implications for nursing and health policy: Nurse managers, policy makers, and decision‐makers at all levels should improve nursing work environment and working conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
