Global nursing shortages have led to the recruitment of culturally and linguistically diverse nurses from various countries. However, nurses face integration challenges in their host countries. <i>Objective</i>. This systematic review aimed to find the most recent evidence of factors associated with integrational strategies and models to support the transition and adaptation of culturally and linguistically diverse nurses to the professional workforce in healthcare settings. <i>Methods</i>. This systematic review used the population, exposure, outcome framework to select studies according to JBI guidelines. Original peer-reviewed quantitative studies published between 2000 and 2021 were identified. Two researchers independently screened the studies based on eligibility criteria using title, abstract, and full text.

This study introduces the Portuguese Transcultural Nursing Leadership Questionnaire (QLTE-PT), a pioneering instrument designed to assess leadership behaviours in multicultural nursing work environments, addressing gaps in current leadership assessment tools. <i>Aim</i>. This study aimed to develop and validate the Portuguese Transcultural Nursing Leadership Questionnaire (QLTE-PT). <i>Methods</i>. It was conducted as a sequential exploratory mixed-method study, integrating DeVellis’s steps for instrument development. Items were formulated based on a literature review and a focus group study, and the content validity was evaluated by a panel of experts. A methodological approach involving nurses registered in the Portuguese Order of Nurses with leadership experience in multicultural nursing work environments was employed to further conduct an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis to assess the instrument’s structure and psychometric properties. <i>Results</i>. One hundred forty-five items were initially generated, of which 39 were included in the QLTE-PT following content validity assessment by a panel of experts. EFA revealed a factor structure of 25 items loading on six factors, explaining 64% of the total variance. The overall Cronbach’s <i>α</i> coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.90. This six-factor structure was tested by CFA, revealing a final model of 23 items and six factors, with a good quality of adjustment (CFI = 0.980, TLI = 0.976, SRMR = 0.078, and RMSEA = 0.070). Both convergent and discriminant validity were confirmed. <i>Conclusions</i>. The QLTE-PT demonstrates good psychometric properties and is suitable for assessing transcultural leadership behaviours of nurse managers and leaders in multicultural nursing work environments. <i>Implications for Nursing Management</i>.

However, challenges such as staff shortages and limited resources hinder effective clinical teaching. Simulation-based education (SBE) offers a promising solution. This study aims to explore how SBE can enhance clinical teaching in Malawian nursing and midwifery education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with lecturers, clinical instructors, and focus group discussion (FGD) with the final-year students. Thematic analysis revealed several key findings: SBE serves as a valuable gap-filler in clinical education, addressing complex needs while offering diverse learning opportunities. It also provides a platform for enhanced supervision and assessment strategies. The results indicate that SBE enables students to master various clinical skills without direct patient contact, reducing congestion at clinical sites while ensuring credit acquisition. Moreover, it proves effective as both a supervision and assessment tool for evaluating students’ clinical performance. In conclusion, the study advocates for the integration of SBE into Malawian nursing and midwifery education to alleviate the challenges associated with traditional clinical teaching. By leveraging SBE, institutions can mitigate overcrowding at clinical sites and provide students with diverse learning experiences. However, successful implementation requires adequate infrastructure, resources, and skilled lecturers.

To explore the status of job crafting, leisure crafting, and burnout among nurses and to examine the impact of job crafting and leisure crafting variations on burnout using machine learning-based models. <i>Background</i>. The prevalence of burnout among nurses poses a severe risk to their job performance, quality of healthcare, and the cohesiveness of nurse teams. Numerous studies have explored factors influencing nurse burnout; however, few involved job crafting and leisure crafting synchronously and elucidated the effect differences of the two crafting behaviors on nurse burnout. <i>Methods</i>. Multicentre cross-sectional survey study. Nurses (<i>n</i> = 1235) from four Chinese tertiary hospitals were included. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, the Job Crafting Scale, and the Leisure Crafting Scale were employed for data collection. Four machine learning algorithms (logistic regression model, support vector machine, random forest, and gradient boosting tree) were used to analyze the data. <i>Results</i>. Nurses experienced mild to moderate levels of burnout and moderate to high levels of job crafting and leisure crafting. The AUC (in full) for the four models was from 0.809 to 0.821, among which the gradient boosting tree performed best, with 0.821 AUC, 0.739 accuracy, 0.470 sensitivity, 0.919 specificity, and 0.161 Brier. All models showed that job crafting was the most important predictor for burnout, while leisure crafting was identified as the second important predictor for burnout in the random forest model and gradient boosting tree model. <i>Conclusion</i>. Even if nurses experienced mild to moderate burnout, nurse managers should develop efficient interventions to reduce nurse burnout. Job crafting and leisure crafting may be beneficial preventative strategies against burnout among nurses at present. <i>Implications for Nursing Management</i>. Job and leisure crafting were identified as effective methods to reduce nurse burnout.

To determine Senior Nurse Managers’ perceptions of integration of Nurse Practitioner roles in Healthcare Organisations across Ireland and Australia. <i>Background</i>. Introduction of the Nurse Practitioner role in both countries is well established with national policies aimed at developing a critical mass in the health workforce. Current policy requires Senior Nurse Managers to be actively involved in the introduction of and oversight of the integration of Nurse Practitioners across healthcare settings.

A quantitative, cross-sectional cloud-based survey of senior nurse managers across Ireland and Australia from April to September 2022. <i>Results</i>. Of 300 responses received, 122 were eligible for analysis.

Shifting care from hospitals into community-based settings is a major policy goal internationally. Community health services in England currently face the greatest workforce shortages of all sectors, threatening the feasibility of this policy. Moreover, little is known about the extent of variation in community workforce provision regionally and how this relates to determinants of need. <i>Aim</i>. To analyse regional variation in the community services workforce in England between 2010 and 2021. <i>Methods</i>. We obtained NHS workforce statistics data on the number of nurses and nursing support staff providing community services at each NHS organisation in England, from March 2010 to November 2021. We aggregated the organisation-level data to both regional and national levels, which enabled us to maintain consistent units of analysis across the decade. To examine longitudinal trends and regional variation in workforce provision, we calculated the number of staff per 100,000 population aged 65+ in each region and each period. We then graphed and summarised the variation and examined the correlations with levels of deprivation and rurality. <i>Results</i>. There was a twofold variation in community services workforce provision between English regions. In November 2021, the number of staff per 100,000 people aged over 64 ranged from 300 in the South West to 697 in the North West. Most regions experienced a reduction in provision between 2010 and 2021, with a 21.2% reduction nationally. East of England experienced the largest reduction of 39.3%, whilst London experienced a 2.1% increase. In November 2021, regions with more deprived populations had higher workforce provision and regions with a larger proportion of residents living in rural areas had lower workforce provision. <i>Conclusions</i>. The size of the community services workforce has fallen relative to population needs, contradictory to the policy priority to enhance care in the community. There was substantial regional variation in the size of the workforce, which has persisted throughout the decade. Workforce provision was higher in more deprived areas but lower in rural areas, potentially impacting equitable access in rural areas.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/7513374","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141286974","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}
