Spiritual distress among novice nurses during role transition at a university teaching hospital in Pakistan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background & Aim: Novice nurses often find it difficult to adjust in the workplace especially during the role transition phase and may find spiritual distress if they find their work meaningless and dissatisfying. The following paper aims to elaborate on the unique aspect of spiritual distress among novice nurses’ during their role transition phase and its impact on nurses’ retention, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction. Materials & Methods: Grounded theory approach was taken. A purposive sample of novice nurses who had graduated within the last six months were selected as participants. Individual in-depth interviews were taken. Data was analyzed using constant comparative analysis approach. Data was transcribed, translated, and various categories were formulated. Ethics was obtained from the University Research Ethics Board. Results: Most novice nurses were facing spiritual distress during their role transition phase. Spiritual distress was affecting their productivity, satisfaction and quality of work in the hospital. Conclusion: This study informs existential motives to be incorporated in occupational health policies within a hospital setting to smoothen role transition as well as to improve quality care and job satisfaction among novice nurses.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
