Aim:
to investigate emotional intelligence (EI) and its relationship to nursing leadership.
Background:
strong, effective leadership is core to organisational competency and significantly influences ...care quality. EI is the ability to understand one's own feelings and to assess and respond to the feelings of others. It is linked to self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social skills, all of which are vital in leadership roles. However, insufficient research explores EI in nursing leadership from the perspective of nurse leaders.
Design:
a qualitative study employed interpretive phenomenological analysis methods, using a purposive sample of band 7 sisters/charge nurses/team managers (n=5) from one Welsh health board. Semistructured interviews were recorded and analysed in four stages.
Findings:
four clusters of themes were identified, each with two to three subthemes. These were: sensing others—the empathetic leader; experiencing the affected sense of self; strategies employed to build the team; and reading the flux of the organisation.
Conclusion:
although the nurse leaders were unfamiliar with the concept of EI, their narratives reflected some core values of EI. However, significant barriers around time, pressure and staffing levels impeded their potential to use EI to become more effective leaders. Nurse leaders should harness the power of emotions to influence others to achieve excellent care.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the nature and extent of the evidence for the use of a stage theory of adult development, Constructive Developmental Theory (CDT) within ...healthcare leadership.
DESIGN: A systematic methodology was employed, utilising inclusion and exclusion criteria and searching across seven databases.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Summary of literature in response to three key questions.
RESULTS: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses - Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram illustrates the study selection process with 154 records screened, 35 full-text articles assessed for eligibility and 7 studies included in the final analysis. Three themes emerged from the data: (1) healthcare as a complex system, (2) complexity of leadership in healthcare, (3) developmental leadership progression in healthcare.
CONCLUSIONS: This review highlighted that CDT could provide a roadmap for individual change and adult developmental growth, thereby supporting the opportunity for more complex thinking and perspective taking within healthcare leadership. For the healthcare leader, the benefit of an awareness, understanding and application of CDT, is the potential for an increased capacity for recognising and dealing with complex challenges both personally and professionally.
The study protocol is registered with Open Science Framework (OSF).
This qualitative study describes the views of supervisor nurses related to antecedents of oral care in Finnish nursing facilities.
In the six largest cities in Finland, 19 supervisor nurses were ...interviewed and asked five semi-structured questions related to the antecedents of oral care in the units. The interviews were analyzed using inductive content analysis.
Qualitative content analysis revealed five main categories: awareness of nurses (3 categories, 9 subcategories), attitude and motivation (3 categories, 10 subcategories), supporting quality of life and health (4 categories, 11 subcategories), the meaning of oral health in the unit (3 categories, 10 subcategories), and the role of the supervisor nurse in oral health care (4 categories, 14 subcategories). The awareness of nurses regarding oral health was in most cases good. Nurses' attitudes towards oral health and their motivation to oral care vary but were mostly good. Nurses were aware that oral care enhances the quality of life. The role of the supervisor nurse in organizing oral care was crucial.
The performed analysis identified five main categories to describe antecedents for oral care in Finnish nursing facilities. The categories that needed to be improved were knowledge and attitude, and motivation related to oral care.

Nurse managers have played an instrumental and essential role in the successful delivery of patient care for decades. Often described as the "hardest job in healthcare," the importance of the nurse ...manager role is never more apparent during a crisis such as a national nursing shortage or a global pandemic. However, the nurse manager role and its contributions have gone unrecognized. The DAISY Nurse Leader Award is one way healthcare leaders can elevate and recognize nurse manager's contributions.
This book looks at supervision in practice and draws on the latest research into, and theory on, supervision. It is intended for health, social care and counselling professionals, although its ...content is applicable to allied healthcare professions.
Aim
The aim of the study was to evaluate a person‐centred model of clinical supervision to enhance person‐centredness.
Design
Experimental, quantitative.
Methods
One hundred and three New Graduates ...were supported to reflect through a person‐centred lens (July–December 2020). Evaluation was undertaken at 6 months using: the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale‐26 (effectiveness of supervision) and the Person‐centred Practice Inventory (measures attributes of the nurse/midwife, the care environment and person‐centred processes). Due to participation difficulties, scores were calculated by attendance rates using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results
Regular attendees scored higher on the supervision's effectiveness; however, this did not reach efficacy. ‘Finding time’ to attend contributed to low scores. Supervision scored well on its supportive function when attended. Many New Graduates perceived a decline in their care environment. Attendance aside, New Graduates averaged an increased in their person‐centred attributes and processes. Greater participation was found in those who scored higher at baseline on their person‐centred attributes and processes, and this higher scoring continued at 6 months than those who attended less.
Conclusion
New Graduates who perceive themselves as person‐centred and reflective at baseline are more likely to attend a person‐centred clinical supervision and score higher at 6 months than those who attended less often. New Graduates found support within supervision during challenging times.
Implications for Practice for Professional and/or Patient Care
For successful implementation of Person‐centred Clinical Supervision, New Graduates need support to attend, as attendance supports them to begin seeing value in the process.
Impact
This intervention kept person‐centred practice at the forefront of New Graduates reflection, in a time of extreme change. The research has implications for nursing and midwifery management with the imperative to deliver person‐centred care and create the person‐centred cultures for staff to feel supported and empowered.
Reporting Method
Transparent Evaluation of Non‐randomized Designs (TREND).
Patient of Public Contribution
No patient or public contribution.
Contribution to Wider Community
New Graduates grow their person‐centredness over their transitioning year; however, this can be enhanced with regular clinical supervision underpinned by person‐centred theory.
Clinical supervisors can provide support to New Graduates when the environment is challenged.
ObjectiveTo outline and examine what evidence exists related to nurses’ and midwives’ experiences of participating in clinical supervision.IntroductionThe practice of clinical supervision is ...increasingly prevalent in nursing and midwifery, yet disparity remains in relation to professionals’ understanding and experience of this clinical support and how it is implemented in practice. This scoping review will identify the available evidence and gaps in knowledge that exist in relation to nurses’ and midwives’ experience of this practice and examine how the various forms are defined in the literature.Methods and analysisComprehensive searches of CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane Library will be carried out. Grey literature will also be searched and all results will be screened independently by two reviewers using identified inclusion and exclusion criteria. All empirical data that identify and report nurses’ and midwives’ experiences of clinical supervision will be included in the review. Studies that include other health and social care professionals will be excluded where the nursing and midwifery cohort is not reported independently. Data from all relevant studies will be extracted using a validated adapted data extraction form. Our review will be guided by the Joanne Briggs Institute Methodology and findings will be guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols Extension for Scoping Reviews statement.Ethics and disseminationThis review does not require ethical approval. Our dissemination strategy includes peer-reviewed publication, presentation and conferences and sharing through stakeholder networks.
Nurses play a dominant role in the healthcare sector. However, the working condition of nurses in India is far from satisfactory due to a variety of factors. This is further compounded by the lack of ...respect for nurses and their profession. Therefore, there is a need to examine factors that could mitigate this situation.
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between authentic leadership and employee creativity, while determining the mediating effect of knowledge sharing behaviour and moderating effect of use of information technology on this association.
A questionnaire-based survey was used to collect the data. Macro process (Hayes) was used to examine the mediating role of knowledge sharing behaviour and the moderating role of use of information technology in the relationship between authentic leadership and employee creativity.
Data was collected from 43 small- and medium-sized hospitals in the state of Uttarakhand, India.
The participants in the present study were 405 nurses and their 81 supervisors from the above hospitals.
Results indicate that authentic leadership is positively linked to the creativity of employees. Further, knowledge sharing behaviour is found to mediate the relationship between authentic leadership and employee creativity, while use of information technology acts as a moderator between knowledge sharing behaviour and employee creativity. The findings of this investigation can help healthcare managers understand the importance of knowledge creation and knowledge sharing among healthcare workers. This paper draws attention to the need for hospital administrators to establish an appropriate information technology infrastructure to effectively manage the knowledge pool of the organization. This study also highlights the importance of effective leadership style, namely authentic leadership, in positively influencing employee creativity in healthcare institutions, a service oriented industry.
This study contributes to existing research on authentic leadership and employee creativity by showing that knowledge sharing behaviour and use of information technology are important and relevant variables that affect the degree of influence that authentic leadership has on employee creativity.
ABSTRACT Objective: to compare indices and indicators of the quality of nursing care in inpatient, medical and surgical services when clinical supervision is implemented. Method: an observational, ...retrospective study with a quantitative approach and simple random sampling of audit records related to the quality of nursing care (n=719). The research took place between August 2020 and August 2022, in two private hospitals in the Lisbon region, Portugal, where audits related to the quality of nursing care were carried out, and clinical supervision was implemented in one of the hospitals. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Results: analysis of the records when comparing the hospitals and services showed an increase in the desired and adequate quality scores (≤5 and ≤4) in the services of the hospital where clinical supervision was implemented. Conclusion: Clinical supervision allows teams to be strategically monitored in the practice of care, increasing quality indices and indicators with a direct impact on the patient.

Head nurses are vital in understanding and encouraging knowledge sharing among their followers. However, few empirical studies have highlighted their contribution to knowledge-sharing behaviour in ...Online Health Communities (OHCs). In addition, scant literature has examined the moderating role of knowledge self-efficacy in this regard.
This study examines the moderating role of self-efficacy between the association of four selected individual factors of head nurses (i.e., Trust, Reciprocity, Reputation, and Ability to Share) and their knowledge-sharing behaviour in OHCs in Jordan.
The data were obtained by using a self-reported survey from 283 head nurses in 22 private hospitals in Jordan. A moderation regression analysis using a structural equation modelling approach (i.e. Smart PLS-SEM, Version 3) was utilised to evaluate the study's measurement and structural model.
Knowledge self-efficacy moderates the relationship between the three individual factors (i.e., Trust, Reciprocity, and Reputation) and knowledge-sharing behaviours. However, self-efficacy did not moderate the relationship between the ability to share and knowledge-sharing behaviours.
This study contributes to understanding the moderating role of knowledge self-efficacy among head nurses in online healthcare communities. Moreover, this study provides guidelines for head nurses to become active members in knowledge sharing in OHCs. The findings of this study offer a basis for further research on knowledge sharing in the healthcare sector.
