The article is entitled “Predictors of Professional Nursing Practice Behaviors in Hospital Settings” and the title clearly reflects the background and purpose of the study. In particular, considering the objective of the article, which is exploring the personal and environmental factors, which affect the behaviors related to professional nursing, one can assume that the title fully correlates with the direction of the study. The keywords of the title are “predictors”, “nursing behaviors” and “hospital”, and they clearly show that the researchers have examined the effect of a variety of factors, both internal and external on the extent to which hospital nurses use their professional skills. The title is a successful generalization of the study and the discussion, and each of the words describes a certain global aspect of the study (object, goals, and scope), so there are no distracting or redundant words. Although the author does not use abstract in its classical form, she actually puts a well-structured summary of the article in its beginning. This outline contains such points as purpose, methods, results, and well many other elements. In the Methods and Results sections, the variables are delineated only generally, i.e. the independent ones include environmental and personal factors, which are not specified, whereas the dependent variables refer to the professional behaviors, mentioned without additional details. The abstract does not fully address all the major findings, as it does not include the results about the influence of education on the specified behaviors. However, the abstract is clear and comprehensive enough to give the reader the idea of the study due to the fact that the background information and conclusions of the discussion are included along with the key sections, so it is quite easy to evaluate the usefulness of the article after reading its abstract. The research problem is not defined clearly in the introduction, so the reader must carefully examine the first paragraphs in order to come to the major problem, as the author starts with the shortage of nursing and further discusses several elements of the problem in three separate paragraphs. However, it needs to be noted that the problem is quite serious, as the author believes the lack of empowerment does not allow consistent self-realization of the nurses and might contribute to the shortage of nursing personnel. The theoretical rationale for the study is provided as the description of the model of magnet hospital, which elucidates why exactly such hospitals are characterized by the favorable atmosphere for the nurse’s professional development and, accordingly, identifies the common gaps in the functioning of the regular hospital. The author provides a theoretical framework, which introduces the environmental and personal factors (e.g. structural empowerment), their relationships with self-efficacy, but does not specify the exact empirical indicators of the construct of “nursing professional behavior”, so it does not fully correlate with the statement of the research problem. The hypotheses are not stated clearly, instead, the author briefly notes that she intends to test the conceptual framework. Contrarily, the research questions are provided in a separate section and stated in a clear and directional way, i.e. they follow the statement of the aims and each of them implies a certain direction, e.g. es
