Respiratory epidemics and pandemics are an ever-present threat. As the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates, these events can disrupt and overwhelm health systems and impact populations globally. Health care workers (HCWs) are often at increased risk and have to work in challenging environments with greater demands professionally.
This symposium will explore intersections between pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) and occupational health and safety (OHS), with a dual focus: Firstly, the role of nurses delivering OHS services in primary health care (PHC) and secondly, the safety, health, and well-being of nurses as a key part of PPR, including access to mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS).
Expanding OHS coverage to all workers, including nurses, contributes towards PPR by increasing the resilience of populations and health systems, and enhancing the ability of workers (the majority of the world’s population) to seek care and access medical countermeasures such as vaccines during health emergencies.
This session aims to increase awareness of existing resources and gaps, build capacity for nurses to deliver OHS services to workers and strengthen advocacy for health, safety and well-being provisions for nurses and HCWs.
Attendees are invited to co-develop a job aide document for nurses delivering OHS services and a policy statement supporting the OHS of nurses and HCWs with particular reference to emergency, epidemic and pandemic contexts.

Nursing academics prepare the future registered nursing workforce. Our important research program identified factors that underpin nursing academics’ intention to stay in academia or not. We now seek to extend this work by providing a space where factors that might strengthen the academic workforce can be shared and further developed.
An innovative and inventive space has emerged in which complex and challenging topics like workforce issues can be explored – the ‘unconference’.
The unconference aims for a participant-driven event where collaborative practice occurs through processes that focus on problems and knowledge development. The unconference achieves this through an exchange of ideas and expertise among participants. This approach is ideal as it will help to ensure the relevance of findings to nursing academic working environment.
The unconference engages people in a guided, collaborative discussion where everyone shares ideas and works through topics in a deliberative approach. The model promotes discussions in which individuals and the group build on knowledge and experience brought to the conversation alongside emergent understanding in a safe and collaborative environment. In this symposium, we will use the unconference format to engage with participants and identify challenges, solutions and future research projects to support a vibrant and capable nursing academic workforce.

A nurse dedicates their life to caring for others. But when a nurse is gone, who ensures their children are cared for? For years, the Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF) has supported the daughters of deceased nurses, providing them with access to education, stability, and hope. Without this support, many would face forced early marriage, poverty, and lost opportunities—barriers that already keep 129 million girls worldwide out of school. Thanks to GCEF, young women are finishing school, building careers, and securing their futures. This symposium will bring their voices to life in a deeply emotional and engaging format. Through live readings of personal letters, storytelling from beneficiaries, and a powerful panel discussion, we will show how investing in education breaks cycles of poverty and builds empowered women leaders. The session aims to showcase orphans daughters resilience, honour the legacy of their parents nurses, and highlight the importance of securing their future through education.

The creation of nursing codes of ethics plays a pivotal role in shaping the profession’s moral foundation. This symposium explores the global evolution of these ethical codes, focusing on the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code of Ethics. These codes serve as standards for ethical nursing practice, yet their development processes are influenced by distinct cultural, regulatory, and health care contexts worldwide.
The session will delve into how these codes are designed, updated, and refined to address emerging ethical challenges, drawing evidence from a scoping review on the ANA Code’s use and impact. Stakeholder engagement—from practicing nurses to regulatory bodies—will be discussed as a critical factor in ensuring the codes’ relevance in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
We will also highlight methods applicable to future research on the utilization of nursing codes in various countries, emphasizing the importance of cross-national comparisons. A comparative analysis of code development processes globally will provide insights into adapting these frameworks to address regional ethical concerns. Such an approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of the diverse applications and implications of ethical codes in nursing practice.
This symposium is designed for nurses, nursing leaders, policymakers, and educators dedicated to advancing global ethical standards. Participants will gain insights into aligning ethical frameworks internationally and strategies for future ethical code development. Ultimately, the workshop aims to support the integrity and excellence of nursing practice across diverse healthcare systems while offering a pathway for future research and innovation in ethical code utilization.

For decades, nurses have played a vital role in bringing strategic changes in providing health care to the population. Nowadays, one of our challenges is the implementation of new organizational models into health care systems. Hospital-at-Home enables patients to receive acute-level care in the comfort of their homes, rather than in a hospital. The structure and implementation of Hospital-at-Home care varies based on the countries’ circumstances, and needs of the population. This care delivery model, supported by new technology, has been shown to reduce costs, improve outcomes, and enhance the patient experience.
Our experts will present case studies in implementing the home hospital model from the national perspectives of France, Poland and the U.K. During the seminar, examples of home-based specialist services in the field of home ventilation, chemotherapy, blood therapy, and comprehensive palliative care will be demonstrated. Embracing these innovations requires a collaborative effort among health care providers, policymakers, and technology developers to ensure equitable access, data security, and seamless integration into existing systems. To implement the home hospital model, we should also be prepared to overcome potential obstacles, such as regulatory issues or resource limitations.

Alcohol and other drug use are major contributors to the global burden of disease. According to the World Drug Report, approximately 296 million people used drugs, while 39.5 million experienced a drug use disorder.1 Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 400 million people live with alcohol use disorders. 2Alcohol and other drug use commonly co-occurs with psychiatric and medical comorbidities, resulting in poor health, functioning, and premature mortality. 3 Despite this, only 1 in 7 individuals are in treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders (AOD) worldwide. 4 Furthermore, individuals with AOD delay or avoid care within mainstream health services due to discrimination, stigma and other structural inequities. 2 We, the International Nurses Society on Addictions (IntNSA), a Specialist Affiliate Organization of the International Council of Nurses (ICN), assert that every nurse is an addictions nurse. Nurses have the capability, scope, expertise and the direct patient engagement to bridge the treatment gap and reduce harm for individuals with AOD. Nurses can, and nurses must leverage their power globally to affect change in addiction practice, leadership, education, and policy

Despite significant advancements, health care systems continue to face challenges with preventable errors, adverse events, and system failures, many of which directly impact patient outcomes. Patient safety remains a critical priority in health care systems globally. Nurses and nursing leaders are the cornerstones of patient safety due to their constant presence in patient care settings. Nursing leaders play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of safety and leading initiatives that reduce risks and improve patient outcomes.
Nursing leaders are uniquely positioned to influence workflow/care processes, team communication, and systems design for improvement within clinical settings, making them essential drivers of safer health care environments. However, to design for safety, nursing leaders must adopt a systems-thinking approach, use principles of human factors engineering, and foster a safety culture and just culture where staff feel empowered to identify and address safety risks.
By focusing on proactive design thinking and safety principles, nursing leaders can implement strategies to minimize adverse events and ensure consistent safe and high-quality patient care.

Nurses represent the largest component of the health care workforce yet are frequently underutilized with regards to delivery of treatment for acute or chronic disease.

Language: English
Nurses play a critical role in the early identification of rehabilitation needs, and contribute to early and continued rehabilitation, either as rehabilitation providers, or members of primary care interprofessional teams. This nursing role often proves of pivotal importance for securing, advancing and accelerating rehabilitation, and for enabling earlier access to rehabilitative care for patients.
The World Rehabilitation Alliance (WRA) is a WHO-hosted global network of stakeholders, whose mission is to support the implementation of the Rehabilitation 2030 Initiative through advocacy activities. It focuses on promoting rehabilitation as an essential health service, which is integral to Universal Health Coverage and to the realization of Sustainable Development Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Integrating and expanding rehabilitation in primary care is critical to improving equitable access to rehabilitation. The WRA and ICN recognize the important role nurses play in the delivery of rehabilitative services, especially in primary care, however, most nurses acquire rehabilitation care skills on the job due to a lack of specialized education in this field.
Consequently, evidence-based nursing practice is often underutilized in rehabilitation facilities, hindering the advancement of nursing science in rehabilitation care and limiting recognition of nurses as key rehabilitation providers within health systems.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the urgency behind strengthening nursing education, workforce sustainability, and leadership development as essential components of a safer, more equitable global health system.

This workshop informs participants about missed nursing care as a global concern, the construction and items of the MISSCARE Survey, how widely it has been used internationally, and what lessons were learned from translating, adapting, and using the MISSCARE Survey in the Nordic countries. The MISSCARE Survey has three sections:
A preliminary section asking about background and demographic variables of participants
Section-A, asking about how frequently nursing care elements are being missed on participants’ units
Section-B, asking about the reasons for missed nursing care
The MISSCARE Survey has been used in at least 30 countries outside the US, and in at least 17 languages besides English. The MISSCARE Survey has been used in Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and translated into the languages of those countries - all languages of the same Nordic origin. The translation process will be described, along with the challenges encountered for each country. The challenges centred around three main issues: the translation process, the cultural adaptation, and the construction of the instrument, with further identification of 10 sub-issues further described in the workshop. The workshop includes active participation from participants.

The role of nurses in the digitalization of healthcare environments is crucial to maximising the potential of these innovations. Scaling up nurse-driven best practices in digitalization and AI is essential to achieving this goal. Equally important is engaging frontline nurses in the co-creation of digitalization processes and AI tools, ensuring they play a vital role in designing solutions that meet practical, end-user needs.

Empowering the safe international mobility of nurses requires effective comparative assessment of theoretical and practical competence. Assessing competence, particularly practical, both within and between countries remains challenging for regulators, educators, and employers alike. Such comparisons traditionally focus on the registered nurse (or equivalent) and acknowledge variations with academic level requirements. However, as nurses extend their role with advanced and specialist practice, there are few comparative examples of post-registration transnational assessments, particularly for masters’ level practice-based qualifications.
This symposium addresses these challenges and furthers the work of the Nursing Group of the European Union CALOHEE2 project (2020-2023) - Measuring and Comparing the Achievements of Learning Outcomes in Higher Education in Europe. Paper 1 outlines the project and the impact of country-based variations in performance related to the scope of professional practice, enacted competence, regulation, and assessment literacy. Paper 2 summarizes the key findings from six countries, proposing templates and metrics from which assessment literacy and differences can inform assessments designed to measure enacted competence and its associated knowledge base. Paper 3 debates how these variations can be mitigated, discussing future directions, ethical challenges and implications for regulators, educators, employers and practitioners.

During this session, the collaboration of a national consortium for benchmarking nursing-sensitive quality will be presented, together with a research project with five Finnish universities.
All Finnish university hospitals started their collaboration in 2016 with the aim to nationally collect nursing-sensitive outcomes for benchmarking purposes. Since then, ten health care organizations have joined the consortium, covering 65% of public health care services in Finland. The focus of the Consortium is on internationally recognized and defined indicators to ensure international benchmarking in the future.
Of the 15 consortium organizations, 12 are working with researchers of five universities in a project called Nursing Sensitive Indicators in Assessing and Developing Nursing Care Quality (NurSeInQual). The purpose of the research project is to describe and explain nursing sensitive indicators and related factors. In addition, the purpose is to identify the changes by time within the indicator data and possible influencing factors.

The United Nations states the planet is experiencing a “Triple Planetary Crisis” of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. The Stockholm Resilience Center reports that the Earth has nine planetary boundaries that must not be exceeded if life is to continue to survive and thrive on our planet. As of 2023, our ecosystem has exceeded six of these boundaries, and all of these are human-caused disruptions of the Earth’s natural systems that have profound impact on global health and life. We need rapid and deep structural changes across most dimensions of human activity. As the largest health profession in the world, nurses’ expertise in relationships and change management are needed to strategically influence education, research, advocacy/policy, and practice decisions to catalyze the restoration of planetary health.
This session is designed to inform Congress attendees about the planetary crisis and how human-caused disruptions of Earth’s natural systems are reversing global health gains of the past century. The overview of the crisis is followed by a description of the emerging and rapidly growing planetary health field, and what it means for global nursing research, education, advocacy/policy, and practice. The session concludes with an invitation for Congress attendees to suggest strategic planetary health policy topics and promote nursing leadership in restoring the health of the planet upon which all life depends.
Throughout this programme, attendees will be invited to actively engage with the content and contribute suggestions to a document to guide ICN planetary health policy decisions.

Quality Improvement (QI) in nursing focuses on maintaining and enhancing care quality by evaluating and monitoring practices to ensure adherence to established standards. QI projects target specific aspects of care within health care settings, such as protocol adherence, patient safety, and procedural efficiency. Annually, all accredited hospitals require QI in many departments. Thus, QI design and implementation are often required as part of nurses’ jobs.
Oftentimes, QI involves the implementation of evidence-based guidelines or new standard operating procedures. The methodology for QI involves evidence reviews, audits, and performance evaluations using quantitative measures such as checklists, compliance rates, and incident reports to assess practice effectiveness and safety. The primary goal is to pinpoint areas needing improvement and implement changes for immediate, practical enhancements in clinical settings. QI activities can be repeated and involve periodic reviews to consistently uphold clinical standards.
This symposium session first differentiates between QI studies and research. It provides nurses with essential knowledge and skills to conduct QI projects by:
Identifying clinical issues to improve
Selecting appropriate instruments for studies
Employing strategies for analysis, reporting, and practice improvement
The symposium aims to empower clinical nurses with foundational skills to initiate QI projects that inform their care, allowing them to evaluate and enhance their nursing practice.
