An action-research project in Saint-Brieuc, France, highlights the complexity of this practice. A guideline encourages a flexible approach, fostering a relationship of trust. Confidentiality, respect and adaptability are essential for an environment conducive to learning. This work underlines the importance of internship supervision and offers recommendations for an individualized approach, while maintaining a balance between academic rigor and human qualities.

Operational nursing managers' experiences of clinical supervision at a Johannesburg Hospital.

BACKGROUND:  Clinical supervision is pivotal in supporting nurses in rendering quality, safe patient care. Therefore, it is essential to understand clinical supervision from operational nursing managers' context to define existing challenges and propose suitable recommendations. OBJECTIVES:  This study aimed to explore and describe operational nursing managers' experiences of clinical supervision within the context of an academic hospital in Gauteng province and propose evidence-based practice recommendations to improve patient safety and the quality of clinical supervision. METHOD:  An exploratory, sequential, mixed-method design was used and implemented over two phases to take advantage of the strengths of both the qualitative and quantitative research designs. Unstructured individual interviews were conducted to collect data in phase one, and an adapted Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale (MCSS) questionnaire was used to collect data in phase two. RESULTS:  Operational nursing managers work in stressful conditions and environments with a gross shortage of staff and tools of the trade while being expected to deliver high-quality and safe nursing care. Of the sampled respondents, 36% (n = 17) were dissatisfied with the supervision they received, while 64% (n = 30) were indifferent in the sense that they did not think it was adequate or inadequate. CONCLUSION:  Clinical supervisors should be trained and supported in clinical supervision, with regular workshops on interpersonal relations.Contribution: A clearer understanding of clinical supervision within the hospital context and evidence-based practice recommendations to improve patient safety and the quality of clinical supervision.

The antecedents of oral care in nursing facilities - a qualitative interview study among supervisor nurses.

OBJECTIVES: This qualitative study describes the views of supervisor nurses related to antecedents of oral care in Finnish nursing facilities. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSIONS: 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.

Nurses' and midwives' experiences of clinical supervision in practice: a scoping review protocol.

OBJECTIVE: To outline and examine what evidence exists related to nurses' and midwives' experiences of participating in clinical supervision. INTRODUCTION: The 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 ANALYSIS: Comprehensive 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 DISSEMINATION: This review does not require ethical approval. Our dissemination strategy includes peer-reviewed publication, presentation and conferences and sharing through stakeholder networks.

Ensuring Throughput: Development and Validation of Charge Nurse Competencies for United States Emergency Care Settings.

INTRODUCTION: Charge nurses are shift leaders whose role includes managing nursing resources and facilitating appropriate patient care; in emergency departments, the charge nurse role requires both clinical and leadership skills to facilitate the flow of patients, while ensuring patient and staff safety. Literature on orientation and specific training is notably sparse. This study aimed to evaluate the content and process of core competency training and identify evaluation and implementation strategies necessary to improve charge nurse performance in United States emergency departments. METHODS: A modified Delphi technique was used in phase 1 and a qualitative content analysis method was used in phase 2 to address specific aims of the study. RESULTS: In total, 427 emergency nurse managers, directors, educators, and charge nurses responded to the initial survey to identify elements, teaching modalities, and evaluative processes; 22 participated in 1 of 2 focus groups to provide further information about the pedagogical approaches to teaching emergency charge nurse competencies. The top 5 competencies were identified as patient flow management, communication, situational awareness, clinical decision making, and nurse-patient assignment, with understanding that each competency overlapped significantly with the others. Low-fidelity simulation and gamification were identified as a preferred method of both training and evaluation. DISCUSSION: These findings have the potential to support a standardized approach to emergency charge nurse training and evaluation focusing on communication skills, clinical decision making, and situational awareness to facilitate safe and effective nurse-patient assignment and emergency department throughput.

Enhancing new graduate nurses and midwives person-centredness through clinical supervision during COVID-19; evaluation of a non-randomized intervention study.

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.

Servant leadership behaviour of head nurse assessment and its linkage with nurse work engagement in China.

AIM: To assess the servant leadership behaviour of head nurse and its linkage with nurse work engagement in China. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. METHODS: A anonymous investigation with the stratified cluster randomized sampling of nurse was conducted in Hunan Province of China in December 2020. We administered the Perceived Head Nurse Service Leadership Behaviour Scale and the Chinese version of Utrecht work engagement scale to survey, and analyse its relationships by multiple linear regression. RESULTS: A number of 890 nurses participated in this study. The average score of the perceived servant leadership of head nurse reported by nurses was 78.90 ± 14.04, which was at a medium level. Among its six dimensions, the dimension of promote nurse development scored highest (16.04 ± 2.84), while the dimension of dedication scored lowest (11.39 ± 2.46). Official nurses reported higher perceived servant leadership scores of head nurses than those who were employed and temporary nurses (b = 1.727, 95% CI: 0.054-3.400); nurses in tertiary hospitals reported higher perceived servant leadership scores of head nurses than nurses in primary and secondary hospitals (b = 2.703, 95% CI: 0.305-5.100); and lower perceived servant leadership scores were associated with nurses' job overtime (b = -4.935, 95% CI: -6.891 to -2.978). Nurses' perceived servant leadership of head nurses were positively associated with nurses' work engagement (r = 0.336, p < .05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the perceived servant leadership of head nurse affected nurses' work engagement strongly (b = 0.585, 95% CI: 0.479-0.691). CONCLUSION: The servant leadership behaviour of head nurse in China was at the medium level, which was positively associated with nurses' work engagement. Further research should improve the power of the servant leadership behaviour of head nurse by integrating additional training, policies and support. IMPACT: It is time to consider the servant leadership behaviour of head nurses and its linkage with nurses' work engagement in China seriously, and address the policies, guidelines, curriculum, and practice culture. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The study was conducted to explore the situation of servant leadership behaviour of head nurses and its linkage with nurses' work engagement in China, which did not include input from the public or the intended participants.

Programas de supervisión clínica para enfermeras de cuidados intensivos: protocolo de scoping review / Clinical supervision programs for critical care nurses: scoping review protocol

Introducción: La escasez global de enfermeras trajo consigo una mayor dificultad a la hora de contratar y retener a este tipo de profesionales durante la pandemia provocada por la COVID-19.

Introduction:Nursing supervision plays a fundamental role in the implementation of directed learning strategies that improve the job performance of professionals, thus ensuring quality care. Objective: To evaluatethe relationship between supervision through directedlearning and nursing job performance. Methodology: quantitative study with a descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional, cross-sectional design in the emergency department of a National Health Institute in Mexico City, from March to May 2022. The universe was made up of nursing professionals from the National Instituteof Nutrition, the sample was 90professionals selected by simple random sampling. An instrument was used to measure job performance and supervision through a Likert-type scale ranging fromnever to always, classifying the variables into three categories: low level, medium level and high level. Results: there is a directly proportional correlation between supervision through directed learning and job performance, i.e. a medium level of the instrument category, the higher the supervision the higher the job performance; as well as, when there is more training, communication, programmed supervision, there is higher job performance. Conclusions: The results show that by promoting the implementation of the supervision process through the directed learning model, it is possible to enhance the work performance of nursing professionals. Likewise, the professional's work performance benefits from supervision strategies such as: continuous training, effective communication, feedback and programmed supervision

Scoping review protocol examining charge nurse skills: requirement for the development of training.

INTRODUCTION: The charge nurse (CN) holds a position in clinical-administrative management and is essential for improving the quality and safety of care in healthcare institutions. The position requires five essential skills: leadership; interpersonal communication; clinical-administrative caring; problem solving; and knowledge and understanding of the work environment. The scientific literature has not widely examined the importance of providing these skills as part of initial training, nor when CNs begin their duties. This study aims to fill this gap through an exhaustive review of the literature with the aim of developing standardised training for the CN when they start in their position. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute framework will be conducted. The CINAHL, MEDLINE, Science Direct and Cairn, databases as well as grey literature from ProQuest dissertations and thesis global database, Google Scholar and the website of the Order of Nurses of Quebec will be queried using keywords. Relevant literature in French and English, published between 2000 and 2022 will be retained. The CN is the target population. Outcomes address at least one of the five CN skills, describe how they are operationalised and what their impact is on the organisation of work and quality of care. This analysis will identify essential and relevant elements for the development of standardised, up-to-date and appropriate training for the position of CN. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required, as data does not include individual patient data. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at conferences and presented to nursing managers and directors. SCOPING REVIEW REGISTRATION: Research Registry ID: researchregistry7030.

Development and psychometric appraisal of Head Nurse Research Leadership Scale.

AIM: To develop a Head Nurse Research Leadership Scale and evaluate its reliability and validity. DESIGN: A psychometric instrument validation study was conducted in two phases. METHODS: The item tool was generated based on a literature review, semi-structured interview and brainstorming. Twenty experts validated the content of the initial version for two rounds. Thirty-nine clinical nurses conducted the HNRLS-v3 to test the readability of the items in pilot study I. Items were screened based on the critical ratio, correlation coefficient analysis, Cronbach's α coefficient and factor analysis using the data collected from 265 nurses in pilot study II. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in six hospitals to evaluate the reliability and validity between 4 January 2022 and 15 January 2022. Three hundred and sixteen nurses participated in this survey, and 60 completed the questionnaire to validate the test-retest reliability between 1 February and 6 February. RESULTS: A 15-item Head Nurse Research Leadership Scale based on 5 dimensions was developed, and the content validity was satisfied. The 15 items accounted for 77.9% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable convergent validity and discriminant validity. The Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the scale were 0.966, 0.9633 and 0.927, respectively.

Knowledge sharing behaviour among head nurses in online health communities: The moderating role of knowledge self-efficacy.

BACKGROUND: 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. PURPOSES: 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. METHOD: 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. RESULTS: 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. IMPLICATIONS: 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.

[Establishment of Administrative Core Competencies and Evaluation Indicators for Head Nurses].

BACKGROUND: The increasing complexity of the healthcare environment in recent years highlights the importance of cultivating in head nurses the leadership and management competencies necessary to effectively handle complicated administrative tasks and lead nurses in facing various challenges. Identifying the core administrative management competencies required of head nurses and evaluating competency level using behavioral indicators are fundamental to evaluating related training outcomes. PURPOSE: This study was designed to identify the core administrative management competencies required of head nurses as well as the associated job responsibilities, tasks, behavioral evaluation indicators, work outputs, and requisite knowledge and skills. METHODS: This study was conducted in two phases using a qualitative method. The first phase identified the core administrative management competencies and their behavioral definitions. The second phase established competency-related job responsibilities, tasks, behavioral evaluation indicators, work outputs, and requisite knowledge and skills. Each phase consisted of (1) a qualitative interview (first stage) or focus group discussion (second stage) to establish the prototype content; (2) a head nurse workshop to obtain multiple perspectives to modify the prototype content; and (3) a focus group discussion to achieve consensus regarding the content. RESULTS: Nine core competencies related to head nurse administration were identified, including: strategic planning, care supervision, quality improvement, communication, crisis management, responsible leadership, evidence-based practice, digital technology application, and presentation persuasion. Corresponding to these competencies, four responsibilities and associated work tasks were identified. Finally, the related behavioral evaluation indicators, work outputs, and requisite knowledge and skills were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS / IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The results of this study may be used as the basis for head nurse administrative management training programs, while the identified behavioral evaluation indicators may be used to evaluate head nurse work performance and training outcomes. We recommend other institutions apply the results of this study and develop their own administrative core competencies and evaluation indicators for head nurses.

Objetivo: Analizar en el estado del arte disponible, la presencia del fenómeno techo de cristal en enfermería. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa basada en las cinco etapas de Crossetti, utilizando descriptores (enfermería, consejo directivo, supervisión de enfermería, liderazgo, inequidad de género y sexismo) validados en el tesauro DeCS y unidas con el booleano AND, en las bases de datos WOS, PUBMED, SCOPUS, SCIELO y BVS. Resultados: Tras la aplicación de los descriptores y estrategias de búsqueda se localizaron 133 artículos, posterior a la aplicación de filtros se seleccionan 43 artículos, tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión se obtuvieron 6 artículos, luego se complementó con una búsqueda manual localizando 2 artículos, conformándose una muestra de 8 documentos, se aplicó una propuesta de escala que asegura la calidad de la muestra, quedando 7 artículos. Discusión: Todos los artículos seleccionados expresaban una escasa representatividad femenina de enfermería en puestos directivos, se destaca que los hombres son mejor recompensados en términos de remuneración, avance profesional, ocupación de puestos mejores y más prestigiosos. Conclusiones: Los artículos analizados muestran la presencia del fenómeno techo de cristal, donde las mujeres enfermeras presentan más dificultades que los hombres para acceder a cargos directivos, con una aparente etiología marcada meramente por el género.

Introduction: The glass ceiling effect is a term named after a feminist movement in the 1980s in the United States referring to an "invisible" barrier that impedes women's progress in their working careers. Objective: To analyze the presence of the glass ceiling effect in nursing in the available state of the art. Materials and Methods: An integrative review was conducted following Crossetti's five steps and using descriptors such as nursing, board of directors, nursing supervision, leadership, gender inequality and sexism, which have been validated in DeCS thesaurus and linked with the Boolean And operation on WoS, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO and BVS databases. Results: After applying descriptors and search strategies, 133 articles were initially retrieved of which, after applying filters, 43 articles were selected to finally obtain 6 articles after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. After a manual search, 2 articles were found to make a sample of 8 articles on which a scaling proposal was applied to ensure sample quality, resulting in 7 articles. Discussion: Selected articles indicated limited female representation of nurses in managerial positions, emphasizing that men are better compensated in terms of remuneration, professional advancement, and better and more prestigious positions. Conclusions: Analyzed articles reflect the presence of the glass ceiling effect in which female nurses have more difficulties than men in accessing managerial positions by an apparent etiology merely marked by gender.
