Declarations
:
: According to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) [], if the purpose of trial is to examine the effect only on the providers (for example, provider knowledge or attitudes), then registration is not necessary. As our intervention also examined the effect of responsible leadership on the PROVIDERS’ (nurses’) OC and EE, not the providers’ patients, as a result, the registration is not required. However, the research was officially permitted by the research ethics board of Zhejiang Gongshang University (Reference No. 202105/IRB/54) and adhered to the ethical principles outlined in the Helsinki Declaration for medical research involving human subjects.>Please be informed, nurses were recruited using convenience sampling and all responded willingly with consensus after reassurance of data confidentiality. The authors also described research goals verbally and in virtual survey, and requested for consensus before continue with survey questions. A virtual informed consent prior to survey questionnaire was taken.
