An Exploratory Study of Nurse Leaders’ Cognitive Preferences Toward Presenteeism","authors":"Wenzhen Li,&nbsp;Wei Wang,&nbsp;Geyan Shan,&nbsp;Hongxia Wang,&nbsp;Shujie Guo,&nbsp;Yongxin Li","doi":"10.1155/2024/5522654","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/5522654","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 <p><b>Purpose:</b> Nursing is a representative profession with a high prevalence of presenteeism, which is usually associated with negative outcomes. Therefore, it is important to explore the antecedent factors of nurse presenteeism behavior. This study aims to explore the impact and mechanism of head nurses’ cognitive preference toward presenteeism on subordinate nurses’ presenteeism (SNP), and the mediation effects of subordinate nurses’ perception of head nurses’ cognitive preference.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Patient and Methods:</b> A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2022. A total of 256 head nurses and 1424 subordinate nurses were recruited from six hospitals located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. The Nurse Presenteeism Questionnaire (NPQ) and Cognitive Preference Questionnaire were used to assess head nurses’ cognitive preference toward presenteeism, SNP, and subordinate nurses’ perception of head nurse’s cognition of presenteeism.

As nursing assistants (NAs) are primary direct care providers in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), it is necessary to understand NAs’ views on empathy in their care provision for residents, but a gap exists in the literature regarding NAs’ perspectives on empathy in this context.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Aim:</b> In this study, we aimed to explore perceptions of empathy among NAs in LTCFs.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Research Design:</b> A qualitative approach was applied in this study.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Participants and Research Context:</b> Through purposive and snowball sampling, 18 NAs who provided care for residents in six LTCFs in Taiwan were recruited.

They saw empathy as selfless care, assistance to others, and alleviation of residents’ suffering. Understanding residents’ emotions, thoughts, and needs, active listening and compassionate engagement were vital to expressing empathy. However, NAs faced challenges in expressing empathy due to demanding tasks, time limitations, and insufficient knowledge and communication skills. In addition, emotional desensitization further complicated the provision of empathic care. The findings of this study can provide information for nurse managers and directors to understand NAs’ perspectives on empathy and difficulties when providing empathic care in the long-term care context.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/3072064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The RMRS-16 was translated into Japanese and confirmed through back-translation.
