Abstract: To summarize the benefits of new nurses after resignation, and explore how to manage the resignation of new nurses, so as to stabilize the new nurses. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, a purposive sampling approach was implemented to recruit new nurses who had departed from their nursing jobs within 1 year from tertiary hospitals in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were used to collect data regarding resignation experiences. The interview records were transcribed, and data were analyzed using conventional content analysis methods. Themes were refined and summarized. In total, nine female and seven male were interviewed. Analysis resulted in the identification of two themes: Process of resignation, and reflection after resignation. The path to resignation included three sub-themes: struggle before resignation (e.g. distress in the decision to resign and striving for family support), emotional injury during resignation (e.g. insincere retention and complicated resignation procedures) and confusion after resignation (e.g. not knowing what to do, take one step at a time). Reflection after resignation involved three sub-themes: the outside world is wonderful and helpless (e.g. Satisfied job is not easy to find, a sharp decline in income is difficult to maintain life), remembering good aspects of past nursing work (e.g. appreciating the nature of nursing work and appreciating the remuneration of nursing work) and thoroughly considering a decision to resign (e.g. examination of the work itself, changing oneself). New nurses have a distinctly modern profile, and attach importance to their inner emotions, personal pursuits, they are likely to resignation to solve problem. But these nurses are often indecisive regarding the decision to leave and experience emotional injury because not sincerely engaged and encounter complicated resignation procedures. After resignation, these new nurses consider the nursing profession more objectively and acknowledge its importance. In the era of social media, the resignation of new nurses is a powerful action. Careful consideration is needed regarding the resignation management of new nurses to eliminate the negative effects, and explore how to help them get through the difficult period, enhance the new nurses' sense of gain, avoid unnecessary turnover is worth managers think deeply.

Abstract: As public health, functions are designed with the public good in mind. It is a difficult endeavor that is influenced by a wide range of policies from various sectors. Before the end of the nineteenth century, Ethiopia had little knowledge of current healthcare methods. Ethiopians began getting rudimentary public health services in the late nineteenth century, with the entrance of Christian missionaries and the medical revolution's sciences. Following that, various health institutions were built, and various policies were put in place. This review aimed to demonstrate the development, approaches, and functions of public health in Ethiopia by assembling relevant data from multiple literature databases, different books, and teaching materials. To protect and improve population health, public health employs models, technologies, experience, and data gathered through consumer engagement, translational research, and population sciences. Increasing public health is critical for a country's growth, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia, where the healthcare system is frail and woefully inadequate. Adequate policy responses to shifts in health patterns, as well as the number and capacity of community-based health worker training centers for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases and injuries, are required with the ultimate goal of improving the health of Ethiopia's growing population.

Abstract: From June to December 2015, Iraq's capital city, Baghdad, suffered a cholera epidemic. Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital (AYTH) is the second main hospital in Baghdad City, located close to the epidemic epicentre and recorded events as they unfolded. A retrospective audit of hospital records was done in this study. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected on the population, including adult patients admitted to AYTH with a confirmed diagnosis of cholera by the Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL). The confirmed cases were 940. Of those cases, 21% attended AYTH. Initial belt zone cases totalled 44.16% of hospital cases, of which 65 were dependent on agricultural products from neighbouring farms. All patients were positive for the Inaba Vibrio Cholera strain. Baghdad’s cholera epidemic may have resulted from inhabitants’ dependence on local water sources for agricultural needs. During summer, severed water supplies denied Baghdad’s Dijla River water access forced farmers and locals to source well water. To protect the public and environmental safety, groundwater must be accurately and regularly tested in the region. Safe drinking water and sanitary toilet facilities must be guaranteed.
