Background: Healthcare systems contribute significantly to environmental pollution, energy consumption, and resource depletion, making sustainability an increasingly important environmental and public health priority. Nurses, as frontline healthcare professionals, play a critical role in promoting environmentally responsible practices and advocating for sustainable healthcare within clinical settings. Objective: The study aimed to examine the associations between nurses’ sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit in hospital settings. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 377 nurses working in two university-affiliated hospitals in Egypt. Data were collected using validated instruments assessing sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit. Descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize participant characteristics and study variables. Associations among sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit were examined using Pearson correlation analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify significant predictors of green advocacy, while noting that the study design allows for identification of associations rather than causal relationships. Results: The findings indicated generally high levels of sustainability consciousness among nurses. Significant positive associations were observed between sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit (p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis identified sustainability consciousness and work grit as significant predictors of green advocacy, explaining 34.2% of its variance. Conclusions: These findings highlight the interconnected roles of sustainability awareness, advocacy behaviors, and psychological resilience in promoting environmentally sustainable healthcare practices. Strengthening nurses’ sustainability consciousness and work grit may enhance green advocacy and contribute to the development of sustainable healthcare systems, supporting global environmental and public health goals aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Background: The principles and responsibilities associated with nurse navigation align closely with the fundamentals of total quality management (TQM) in healthcare, which aims to improve quality, continuous improvement, safety, and patient satisfaction. Aim: Assess nurses' knowledge level about nurse navigation principles and responsibilities and its relation to TQM at Main Assiut University Hospital. Study design: Descriptive correlational design was used. Setting: Main Assiut University Hospital. Subjects: A convenience sample of all nurses working at Medical departments at Main Assiut University Hospital (n =41 nurses). Tools: Two tools were used to collect data namely, a structured questionnaire that consists of two parts includes personal data and principles and responsibilities of nurse navigation assessment scale. The second tool is TQM knowledge questionnaire. Results: The majority of nurses had low level of knowledge about nurse navigation (principles and responsibilities) and TQM. Conclusion: A statistically significant positive correlation exists between principles and responsibilities of nurse navigation and TQM. Recommendations: Develop and implement targeted educational programs for nurses that focus on the practical principles of navigation and responsibilities of nurse navigator and how it aligns with TQM.

Background: Quiet quitting has recently emerged in nursing and may negatively affect patient safety and staff morale. Purpose: To examine the effect of quiet quitting on patient safety and staff morale among nurses in two Egyptian university hospitals. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted among 210 nurses from Al‐Rajhi and pediatric university hospitals using validated quiet quitting, patient safety, and staff morale scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Quiet quitting was negatively correlated with patient safety ( r = −0.747, p < 0.001) and staff morale ( r = −0.583, p < 0.001). Nurses at the Al‐Rajhi Hospital reported lower quiet quitting and higher safety and morale scores than those at the Pediatric Hospital. Conclusions: Quiet quitting was associated with lower patient safety and staff morale, emphasizing the importance of supportive leadership and organizational culture. Implications for Nursing Management: Nurse managers should identify early signs of quiet quitting and promote leadership, recognition, and professional development to sustain morale and patient safety.
