Cross-sectional study investigates how calling affects missed care in nursing environments, suggesting improvements for practice.

The study aims to explore the relationship between the nursing work environment, career calling, and missed nursing care.
Cross-sectional study design with 535 clinical nurses from a tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China.
Participants completed scales measuring nursing work environment, career calling, and missed nursing care.
Data analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and mediation analysis using SPSS 26.0.
The average missed nursing care score was 34.75, indicating a moderate level of missed care.
Nursing work environment negatively predicted career calling (β = −0.352, p < 0.001).
Career calling positively predicted missed nursing care (β = 0.138, p = 0.034), partially mediating the relationship and accounting for 18.1% of the total effect.
