Medical errors occur more frequently in health care than in other industries due to challenges in patient safety education for nurses and students. To address this, it is important to identify the factors and structures underlying clinical errors and apply these insights to educational programs. Medication-related errors are highly preventable with appropriate interventions, highlighting the importance of data-driven safety education. Previous research suggests that unit adaptation, rather than clinical experience alone, plays a critical role in error occurrence. Focusing on “adaptive performance,” an underexplored concept in nursing, can help identify new educational strategies and interventions.

Mobile health (mHealth) technology offers new approaches to improve women’s health by providing personalized monitoring and real-time guidance. As one of the most widely used social media platforms in China, WeChat has shown great potential in mHealth practice, yet systematic evidence on its application in women’s health care remains insufficient.

Inequitable and time-consuming shift scheduling contributes to nurse burnout, dissatisfaction, and turnover. In Taiwan, annual nurse turnover reaches 11.6%, with rigid 3-shift systems and unfair workload distribution frequently cited as key drivers. Although artificial intelligence (AI) scheduling tools exist, most lack transparency and do not formally address algorithmic bias, limiting clinical adoption.

With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its deep integration into nursing education, nursing students’ AI literacy (AS) has become a critical competency for their professional development. However, the patterns of associations among emotional intelligence (EI), AI self-efficacy (AILS), and AS in relation to comprehensive AS remain unclear.

Nursing students are the future workforce, and their readiness to use digital health tools is important. Previous studies have focused on knowledge and attitudes; however, they have not examined the wide range of digital health literacy levels that may influence nursing students’ attitudes toward using telehealth in clinical settings.

The rapid advancement of digital technologies, combined with the evolving complexity of health care environments, has introduced a new paradigm in nursing practice. Clinical nurses are now required not only to deliver safe and effective patient care but also to demonstrate competencies in digital literacy and innovation. Among these emerging competencies, digital leadership has become a critical attribute—enabling nurses to lead digital transformation, ensure patient safety, enhance care quality, and support system-level change within health care organizations. Despite its increasing relevance, there is a notable absence of validated measurement tools tailored to assess digital leadership in clinical practice.

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a common complication in people with reduced mobility or sensation and can be burdensome for individuals with PIs and their caregivers. Valuable insights and real-world challenges faced by individuals living with PIs can be captured through candid accounts posted on social media. Social media listening (SML) is a tool that can enhance the understanding of those with lived experience by offering firsthand accounts that are irreproducible from controlled studies.
