Aims
To test the role of the nursing team leader's (nurse leader) proactivity in attenuating the adverse effect of the nursing team's workload on the team learning and subsequent performance and to ...consider the role of intellectual stimulation by the nurse leader in this moderated mediation effect.
Design
A cross‐sectional design.
Methods
Data on 63 nursing teams were collected from various healthcare organizations by having 455 nursing team members and 63 nurse leaders complete validated questionnaires during 2016–2017.
Results
As was hypothesized, the nurse leader's proactivity significantly attenuated the adverse effect of nursing team workload on both nursing team learning and intellectual stimulation. Furthermore, intellectual stimulation significantly predicted nursing team learning. Overall, when the nurse leader's proactivity was low, there was a significant indirect effect of nursing team workload on nursing team performance mediated successively by intellectual stimulation and nursing team learning. When the nurse leader's proactivity was high, however, this indirect effect faded.
Conclusions
Proactive nurse leaders attenuate the adverse effect of nursing team workload on nursing team learning and subsequent performance. While less proactive nurse leaders demonstrate lower levels of intellectual stimulation under high nursing team workloads, the highly proactive nurse leaders sustain its level and thus maintain nursing team learning.
Impact
This study addresses the nursing team workload–learning relationship. It was found that the indirect negative effect of nursing team workload on team performance, which is mediated by intellectual stimulation, followed by team learning, is substantially reduced when the nurse leader's proactivity is high rather than low.
目的
测试护理组长(护士长)的主动性在减轻护理团队工作量对团队学习和后续绩效的不利影响方面的作用,并考虑护士长的智力刺激在这一适度中介效应中的作用。
设计
一项横断面设计。
方法
2016至2017年,从拥有455名护理团队成员和63名护士长的63个护理团队那里收集到了数据,他们完成了有效问卷调查。
结果
正如假设的那样,护士长的主动性显著减少了护理团队工作量对护理团队学习和智力刺激的不利影响。此外,智力刺激对护理团队学习有显著的预测作用。总的来说,当护士长的主动性较低时,在智力刺激和护理团队学习的先后影响下,护理团队工作量对护理团队绩效有显著的间接影响。但是,当护士长的主动性较高时,这种间接影响会逐渐消失。
结论
积极主动地护士长会减轻护理团队工作量对护理团队学习和后续绩效的影响。在护理团队高负荷工作量下,积极性较低的护士长表现出较低的智力刺激水平,而积极性高的护士长则维持其水平,保持护理团队学习状态。
影响
本研究探讨护理团队工作量——学习之间的关系。研究发现,当护士长的主动性较高时,护理团队工作量对团队绩效的间接不利影响显著降低,这种影响能立即被智力刺激所调节,其次是团队学习。

Aim: To determine the level of teamwork among nursing staff in a selected teaching hospital and identify factors that influence the level of teamwork.Design: A descriptive cross-sectional ...study.Methods: The sample included 292 nursing staff working in a teaching hospital in the Žilina region of Slovakia. Data collection was carried out between April and June 2022 using the Nursing Teamwork Survey (NTS). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The mean score for the NTS was 2.87 (SD = 0.56) demonstrating a positive perception of teamwork less than 75% of the time. The highest evaluated subscale was the shared mental model (3.23 ± 0.62). Differences were found in the evaluation of teamwork according to education, job position, working hours, total and current professional experience, intention to leave, and staffing adequacy. The correlation analysis revealed associations between teamwork and variables related to satisfaction and quality and safety evaluation. Several variables predicted the general evaluation of teamwork (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The evaluation of teamwork may point to its different perception among members of nursing teams. It may also help to identify strengths and weaknesses of nursing teams and, consequently, to implement effective techniques focused on improving teamwork and, thus, the quality of nursing care in hospitals.
Background & Aim: Teamwork represents a fundamental prerequisite for providing quality and safe care. This study aimed to determine the level of teamwork and the factors that influence the level of ...teamwork in selected hospitals in the Slovak Republic.
Methods & Materials: The descriptive cross-sectional study included 207 nurses from 12 departments of three district hospitals in the Slovak Republic. Data were collected between November 2022 and February 2023 using a questionnaire that evaluated nursing teamwork, the Nursing Teamwork Survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Nurses evaluated the level of teamwork as (3.74± 0.64), which means ideal less than 75% of the time during the last working shift. The best-rated subscale was the Shared mental model (4.17± 0.49), while the worst-rated subscale was Team orientation (2.47± 0.85). Differences in teamwork level were found based on unit type, education, number of hours worked, number of overtime hours, and perceived staff adequacy (p≤ 0.05). The correlation analysis revealed associations between teamwork and job satisfaction, teamwork satisfaction, subjective quality evaluation, and patient safety, as well as with the number of patients in the last shift, including the number of admitted and discharged patients.
Conclusion: By regularly determining teamwork levels, it is possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of nursing teams. Analyzing team weaknesses and implementing targeted measures can lead to strengthening teamwork and improving team functioning.
Objective

Aim The aim of the present study was to explore the influence of unit ...characteristics, staff characteristics and teamwork on job satisfaction with current position and occupation.
Background Teamwork has been associated with a higher level of job satisfaction but few studies have focused on the acute care inpatient hospital nursing team.
Methods This was a cross‐sectional study with a sample of 3675 nursing staff from five hospitals and 80 patient care units. Participants completed the Nursing Teamwork Survey (NTS).
Results Participants’ levels of job satisfaction with current position and satisfaction with occupation were both higher when they rated their teamwork higher (P < 0.001) and perceived their staffing as adequate more often (P < 0.001). Type of unit influenced both satisfaction variables (P < 0.05). Additionally, education, gender and job title influenced satisfaction with occupation (P < 0.05) but not with current position.
Conclusions Results of this present study demonstrate that within nursing teams on acute care patient units, a higher level of teamwork and perceptions of adequate staffing leads to greater job satisfaction with current position and occupation.
Implications for Nursing Management Findings suggest that efforts to improve teamwork and ensure adequate staffing in acute care settings would have a major impact on staff satisfaction.
