Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) are considered a critical component of high functioning nursing and interprofessional care teams. Therefore, it is important to ensure that RPNs feel valued within their roles within acute care settings. High acute care demands in tandem with unsupported workplace environments can lead to increased levels of job dissatisfaction, burnout, and ultimately impact retention. Identifying and examining the barriers and facilitators that enable RPNs to be optimally equipped within acute care are critical towards ensuring success in their role. In this study, we explore the experiences of RPNs and perspectives of nurse leaders on RPN integration into an acute care setting. <i>Methods</i>. A mixed method study among RPNs (<i>n</i> = 10) and nurse leaders (<i>n</i> = 10) was conducted. This included administration of the Assessment for Collaborative Environments (ACE-15) tool to measure interprofessional integration, collaboration, and teamwork. Semi-structured interviews were also held with all participants to explore both the lived experiences of RPNs in the acute care environment and the perspectives of nurse leaders who had supported the onboarding and integration of RPNs. <i>Results</i>. Our inductive content analysis identified 5 themes: preintegration process, nursing team dynamics, RPN role clarity, challenges to RPN integration, and benefits to RPN integration. ACE-15 data showed no significant differences in the level of teamness and internal disagreement between RPNs and nurse leaders (t (17) = 0.37 and <i>p</i> = 4.60). RPNs reporting a higher level of teamness described a more positive integration experience than those who reported a lower level of teamness. <i>Conclusion</i>. The integration of a new role to existing teams brings both benefits and challenges which are experienced uniquely by RPNs and nurse leaders. Nurse leaders can utilize findings of this study to better prepare their staff and units for the integration of new roles into their models of care.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/7309242","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967380","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}

{"title":"The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Job Satisfaction, and Organizational Commitment among First-Line Nurse Managers in Qatar","authors":"Mutaz I.

Emotional responses and the ability to regulate emotions among nurses, especially first-line nurse managers, can influence various workplace dynamics. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among nurses in Qatar, particularly first-line nurse managers. <i>Objectives</i>. The primary aim of this study is to determine if there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) in Qatar. <i>Design</i>. This is a descriptive cross-sectional correlational study. <i>Settings</i>. The research took place at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. <i>Participants</i>. A total of 203 first-line nurse managers participated in the study. <i>Methods</i>. Participants were recruited using a convenience sample method. Data were collected using the Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory—Concise, the three-component model Employee Commitment Survey, and the short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). <i>Results</i>. The findings showed that participants had average levels of emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Notably, a significant, moderately positive relationship was observed between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment, as well as between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. A weak positive relationship was identified between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Differences in emotional intelligence were observed based on variables such as gender, age, and unit specialty. Organizational commitment varied based on the current position and hospital type, while job satisfaction differed based on the current position and education level. <i>Conclusions</i>. The findings suggest that enhancing the emotional intelligence of first-line nurse managers can potentially improve organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and, subsequently, healthcare outcomes. There is a need for further research to delve deeper into these factors and devise strategies aiming to boost the emotional intelligence and job satisfaction of first-line nurse managers. <i>Implications for Nursing Management</i>. The study provides empirical data from Qatar’s healthcare system, shedding light on FLNMs’ emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/5114659","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967381","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}

To test whether emotional intelligence plays a mediating role in the process by which moral sensitivity affects nurses’ ability to communicate with angry patients. <i>Background</i>. Hospital workplace violence is a global problem that disrupts the normal work order of healthcare, undermines trust between nurses and patients, and threatens the physical and mental health of nurses. Improving nurses’ ability to communicate with angry patients to identify and diffuse patients’ anger is critical to reducing the nurse-patient conflict and avoiding violence in the hospital workplace. <i>Methods</i>. The data were collected in China. A sample of 212 nurses completed measures of moral sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to communicate with angry patients. Structural equation modeling was used to test the study’ hypothesis. <i>Results</i>. Our results suggest that nurses’ emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between nurses’ moral sensitivity and nurses’ ability to communicate with angry patients, with a positive correlation between nurses’ moral sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and ability to communicate with angry patients. <i>Conclusions</i>. The findings showed that nurses’ moral sensitivity indirectly influenced nurses’ ability to communicate with angry patients by directly influencing emotional intelligence. This study provides a theoretical and methodological approach to mitigate nurse-patient conflict and reduce violence in the hospital workplace through a moral perspective. <i>Implications for Nursing Management</i>. Nursing managers should pay attention to the moral sensitivity and emotional intelligence of nurses and promote their moral development and emotional intelligence by strengthening moral education in hospitals, utilizing emotional intelligence training courses and narrative nursing, ultimately promoting nurses’ ability to communicate with angry patients, further contributing to the reduction of nurse-patient conflict, avoiding violence in the hospital workplace, building a safer hospital environment, promoting the overall development of nurses, and contributing to the development of global health and wellness.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/6614034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141968107","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 purpose of our review was to assess the role of nurses’ workplace social capital in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). <i>Background</i>. In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with 17 universal goals was adopted by members of the UN. Although nurses have been acknowledged as important contributors to sustainable development, they still have difficulties in connecting their work to the SDGs. Nurses’ workplace social capital is an important concept in nursing management due to its constructive consequences.

This study aims to investigate the level of organizational learning within urban Chinese Community Health Centres and reveal its potential association with primary care nurses’ work performance and well-being. <i>Background</i>. Globally, there is a push to establish learning healthcare systems for complex health reform challenges. Existing studies on organizational learning mainly focus on North American and European hospital settings, offering limited insights into primary care environments, particularly in developing countries. <i>Design</i>. Cross-sectional study. <i>Methods</i>. We recruited 175 nurses from 38 community health centres in four Chinese cities (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, and Jinan) using convenience sampling.

Current research has mainly concentrated on the psychological facets of authentic leadership and the sense of psychological security it cultivates. &lt;i&gt;Aim&lt;/i&gt;. This research assessed the perceived academic team leaders’ authentic leadership and team members’ psychological safety. &lt;i&gt;Methods&lt;/i&gt;. Using a quantitative cross-sectional study, the study was conducted in 2022 using an online survey. A convenience snowball sample of 105 nursing faculty members was recruited from various Jordanian universities. &lt;i&gt;Results&lt;/i&gt;. The nursing faculty highly praised their leaders’ authentic leadership on a 5-point scale. Yet, they felt a lack of psychological safety for themselves. While the academic nursing team leaders were commended for their readiness to hear others’ suggestions before making choices, they should work on resisting group influence. These leaders must convey their feelings openly and truthfully. Concerning their own psychological safety, the nursing faculty felt their distinctive abilities and talents were recognized and utilized when collaborating with team members, which was the most highly rated feature. Conversely, the least-rated aspects were holding mistakes against faculty members and having trouble requesting assistance from others. The nursing faculty’s sense of security and comfort significantly impacts their psychological wellbeing. Interestingly, their level of psychological safety is found to have a significant but negative correlation with their marital status, providing a rich and new insight into psychological safety; married females with children are prone to more work burnout, which might lower their psychological safety. On the other hand, a positive and moderate correlation is observed between psychological safety and the size of the team they work with. Surprisingly, the team size is the only factor that predicts the psychological safety of nursing faculty members; this occurs by enhancing the team’s creativity and learning behaviors. However, the model itself is not very effective and only accounts for a small portion (6.30%) of the variation in their psychological safety scores, suggesting other unmeasured factors likely play a more significant role in nursing faculty members’ psychological safety, such as personality traits, stressors, and job satisfaction. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion&lt;/i&gt;. The authentic leadership displayed by nursing team leaders does not directly impact the psychological safety of nursing faculty members.
