[PMID: 39156228 PMCID: PMC11329302 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6191008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Succession planning is a commonly employed term in business strategy, referring to the systematic process of transferring leadership responsibilities to another employee to ensure the seamless continuity of an organization's operations. Today, this concept has acquired importance in various industries, including healthcare, with a specific focus on nursing. Several factors led nurse managers to consider preparing potential leaders for primary leadership roles due to the shortage of nurses, significantly impacting healthcare services and patient safety. Because of the importance of this topic, this present bibliometric analysis aims to analyze research studies conducted on succession planning and leadership development in nursing from 2000 to 2023 to identify research trends, key themes, and the evolution of research during this period. The Elsevier Scopus database was utilized for this analysis. This methodology identified (n = 326) journal studies based on the predefined keywords and timeframe. The data derived from this bibliometric analysis offers a robust foundation for conducting a systematic review, enabling a comprehensive synthesis and evaluation of the evidence in this significant field of study.

Xu G, Zeng X, Wu X. Global prevalence of turnover intention among intensive care nurses: A meta-analysis. Nurs Crit Care 2023; 28:159-166. [PMID: 34261191 DOI: 10.1111/nicc.12679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nurse turnover is considered a major cause of nurse shortage, representing problems for health care systems in terms of both quality and cost of care for patients, and intention to leave is the strongest practical predictor variable of actual turnover. AIM This systematic review and meta-analysis aims at exploring the global prevalence of turnover intention in intensive care nurses. DESIGN This was a systematic literature review. METHODS A systematic review of empirical quantitative studies on turnover intention in nurses of intensive care units (ICUs), published in English till March 2021, was conducted. The databases PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge, and CINAHL were searched. Eligible studies were observational or descriptive studies that reported the prevalence of turnover intention among nurses in all types of ICUs. The quality of studies was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random effect meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of turnover intention among ICU nurses. RESULTS We identified 18 cross-sectional studies investigating a total of 23 140 intensive care nurses from 23 countries. The intention to leave rate was ranged from 3.0% to 75.0%. The pooled prevalence of turnover intention was 27.7% (95% confidence interval: 21.6%-34.3%). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed that more than 27% of the intensive care nurses had the intention to leave worldwide. In the current context of nursing shortage, efforts should be made to improve conditions for this important group of care providers. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The prevalence of turnover intention is relatively high among intensive care nurses. Nurse managers should take this intention seriously, as the intention to leave may lead to an actual decision to leave the profession.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of this scoping review is to map and synthesize research studies addressing the factors that impact leadership behaviors of Front-Line Nurse Managers. BACKGROUND Leadership is a fundamental component of the role of Front-Line Nurse Managers. Ineffective leadership is associated with costly outcomes; thus, organizations seek effective strategies to facilitate consistent demonstration of leadership behaviors. EVALUATION Using a scoping review methodology, findings from 26 empirical studies were mapped to identify barriers and facilitators of leadership among Front-Line Nurse Managers. Major categories included personal and environmental factors with subthemes of personal characteristics, competencies, and social support. KEY ISSUES Available evidence captures the influence of personal characteristics, education, competency, and formal social support on leadership capacity. The role of informal social support was not captured. CONCLUSIONS Multiple personal and environmental factors influence the capacity for leadership behaviors among Front-Line Nurse Managers. Strategies such as leadership development programs, mentorship and peer support programs, and work environments that support relational and structural support may increase leadership capacity for Front-Line Nurse Managers IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Senior nurse leaders can use the results of this review to guide implementation of evidence-based strategies to recruit and retain Front-Line Nurse Managers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of generational membership on nurse managers' (NMs') perception of their practice environment and job satisfaction using the Nurse Manager Practice Environment Scale (NMPES). BACKGROUND Boomers, Generation Xers, and millennials make up the NM workforce. Each has specific perceptions and expectations for their practice environment and job satisfaction. Little is known about these differences. METHODS A secondary analysis of NM survey data was conducted using descriptive statistics and multiple regression to identify the impact of generation on NMs' perception of their practice environment and satisfaction. RESULTS Generational membership did not significantly impact NMPES or job satisfaction scores, but the practice environment was a strong predictor of these outcomes. CONCLUSION Generational membership did not impact NMs' satisfaction for this sample, but the practice environment did. Further research is needed to examine additional factors that influence NM satisfaction and retention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the current state of the interim manager (IM) role and the impact of the role on job performance. BACKGROUND Interim managers provide leadership during organizational change, yet little is known about the role and its impact on outcomes. METHODS An electronic survey was completed by 179 IMs working in acute care hospitals. Instruments included the Nurse Manager Practice Environment Scale, Decision Involvement Scale, Subjective Stress Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Brief Resilience Scale. RESULTS The average tenure for IMs was 10 months. Despite moderately high levels of stress and exhaustion, IMs were resilient, positively viewed their work environment, and perceived their job performance as positively impacting nurse and patient outcomes. Interim managers were generally satisfied in their roles and likely to pursue nursing leadership as a career. CONCLUSION Interim managers desire permanent leadership opportunities providing a pool for replacing exiting nurse managers. Support is needed to be successful.

Abstract
Background Nurse and Midwifery Unit Managers (NMUMs) play pivotal roles in quality patient care, nurse and midwife satisfaction and retention. NMUMs are expected to be both leaders and managers simultaneously, which may create role tension. This study aimed to explore the understanding and experience of NMUMs regarding their role; to explore what barriers and facilitators NMUMs identified to achieving the goals of their clinical area; and to explore NMUMs’ career plans. Methods Set in Victoria, Australia, this study was guided by naturalistic inquiry using a qualitative descriptive approach. Thematic analysis was used to inductively develop core themes, which facilitated the motivations, experience and meanings underlying the data to be elaborated. Results In all, 39 interviews were conducted with NMUMs across four hospitals. Two overarching themes were identified from the data; system challenges and influences on people and each theme had three sub-themes. In relation to system challenges, participants spoke about the structural challenges that they encountered such as financial stressors and physical infrastructure that made their work difficult. Participants felt they were unprepared for the NMUM role and had limited support in the preparation for the role. Participants also related their frustration of not being included in important decision-making processes within the hospital. Regarding their career plans, most did not envisage a career beyond that of a NMUM. Conclusions This study of contemporary NMUMs uncovered a continued lack of investment in the orientation, professional development and support of this critical leadership and management role. There is an urgent need for targeted interventions to support and develop capabilities of NMUMs to meet the current and evolving demands of their role.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To understand factors that influence nurse manager job satisfaction. BACKGROUND Nurse managers influence patient care, staff retention and health care initiatives, yet poor retention and recruiting outcomes threaten the supply of managers. Research regarding staff nurse job satisfaction and retention is substantial, but far less is known about these same areas for nurse managers. EVALUATIONS Electronic databases were systematically searched to find studies regarding nurse manager job satisfaction. Articles were selected using professional guidelines and set criteria. Fourteen peer-reviewed publications were included in this review. Major themes were extracted and synthesized. KEY ISSUES Findings from this review indicate that nurse manager job satisfaction is influenced by workloads, organisational support, nurse manager-supervisor relationships and the quality of their training and competency. CONCLUSIONS This review found overwhelming workloads, inadequate resources, poor supervisor relationships and insufficient training to be commonplace for nurse managers. To improve satisfaction and retention, institutions must cultivate practice environments that promote healthy workloads, strong interorganisational relationships, professional growth and success of their nurse managers. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Findings from this study reveal areas for improvement that health care institutions and senior nursing leadership can use to transform practice environments, increase nurse managers' job satisfaction and entice them to stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the current management standards needed by nurse managers in Turkey and to share the process of establishing standards. BACKGROUND Relevant and utilizable nursing management standards are needed for effective and efficient nursing administration to achieve better outcomes in health care. METHODS A three-round e-Delphi method was used in this study. First, the experts were asked an open-ended question. In the second and third rounds, data analysis measurements included item-by-item per cent agreement, standard deviation, average, median and interquartile range. RESULTS At the end of the third round, 49 standards were obtained under five main standards for nurse managers: management and organisation; leadership; human resources management; quality management; and professionalism. CONCLUSION The results of this study, which represent a consensus on nursing management standards drawn from the views of experts across regions and institutions in Turkey, provide a baseline to design, manage and evaluate nursing services. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Nursing management standards, which are fundamental for designing, leading and evaluating nursing services, give a framework for nurse managers to provide effective and efficient administrative practices.

Abstract
AIM To investigate nurse leaders' experiences and strategies for turnover in relation to culture and work environment in hospital departments with low nurse turnover. BACKGROUND Nursing shortage is a global problem, and numerous turnover strategies have been utilized to attempt to address this shortage. DESIGN/METHODS Four regional hospital departments with the lowest nurse turnover were included. Data were constructed with nine nurse leaders through individual interviews and were analysed using directed content analysis. RESULTS The findings presented in two categories, 'The culture is unique' and 'Maintaining, protecting or re-establishing a unique culture', summarize how leaders navigated authentically in different contexts, operationalizing clear values and visions both for their departmental culture and in turnover strategies. CONCLUSION Even though all the nurse leaders interviewed were concerned about the current recruitment situation, they were confident in their leadership roles, targeted towards supporting the unique culture in their departments. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Leaders with clear cultural awareness and visions for the context in which they operate may be positively associated with lower turnover of nurses. Including the perspectives of leaders from departments with low turnover of nurses has the potential to create new knowledge about improving nurse retention.

Abstract
Little is known about how hospital-based nurse managers use electronic health records (EHR) to monitor nurse-sensitive quality measures, or about how they learn to do so. This article describes the role of nurse managers in quality monitoring, their experience in using the EHR to monitor nurse-sensitive quality measures, and their related training. A convenience sample of nurse managers and directors (n = 28) was recruited to participate in semistructured interviews. The resulting data were analyzed, using content analysis. This study revealed 3 components of the nurse manager's quality-monitoring role: monitoring documentation, monitoring practice, and performing investigations. Facilitators for accessing EHR information included ease of navigation, timeliness and accessibility of reports, and usefulness of EHR tools. Participants described a range of formal and informal approaches to learning how to access information for quality monitoring in general and for the EHR specifically. The findings provide direction for further exploration of the EHR structures and processes needed to support nurse managers' information needs and quality-monitoring training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers, which are a localised injury to the skin, or underlying tissue, or both, occur when people are unable to reposition themselves to relieve pressure on bony prominences. Pressure ulcers are often difficult to heal, painful, expensive to manage and have a negative impact on quality of life. While individual patient safety and quality care stem largely from direct healthcare practitioner-patient interactions, each practitioner-patient wound-care contact may be constrained or enhanced by healthcare organisation of services. Research is needed to demonstrate clearly the effect of different provider-orientated approaches to pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of different provider-orientated interventions targeted at the organisation of health services, on the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. SEARCH METHODS In April 2018 we searched the Cochrane Wounds Specialised Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); Ovid MEDLINE (including In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations); Ovid Embase and EBSCO CINAHL Plus. We also searched three clinical trials registries for ongoing and unpublished studies, and scanned reference lists of relevant included studies as well as reviews, meta-analyses and health technology reports to identify additional studies. There were no restrictions with respect to language, date of publication or study setting. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cluster-RCTs, non-RCTs, controlled before-and-after studies and interrupted time series, which enrolled people at risk of, or people with existing pressure ulcers, were eligible for inclusion in the review. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed study selection, risk of bias assessment, data extraction and GRADE assessment of the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS The search yielded a total of 3172 citations and, following screening and application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we deemed four studies eligible for inclusion. These studies reported the primary outcome of pressure ulcer incidence or pressure ulcer healing, or both.One controlled before-and-after study explored the impact of transmural care (a care model that provided activities to support patients and their family/partners and activities to promote continuity of care), among 62 participants with spinal cord injury. It is unclear whether transmural care leads to a difference in pressure ulcer incidence compared with usual care (risk ratio (RR) 0.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 to 1.64; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision).One RCT explored the impact of hospital-in-the-home care, among 100 older adults. It is unclear whether hospital-in-the-home care leads to a difference in pressure ulcer incidence risk compared with hospital admission (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.03 to 2.98; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision).A third study (cluster-randomised stepped-wedge trial), explored the impact of being cared for by enhanced multidisciplinary teams (EMDT), among 161 long-term-care residents. The analyses of the primary outcome used measurements of 201 pressure ulcers from 119 residents. It is unclear if EMDT reduces the pressure ulcer incidence rate compared with usual care (hazard ratio (HR) 1.12, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.68; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision). It is unclear whether there is a difference in the number of wounds healed (RR 1.69, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.87; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision). It is unclear whether there is a difference in the reduction in surface area, with and without EMDT, (healing rate 1.006; 95% CI 0.99 to 1.03; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision). It is unclear if EMDT leads to a difference in time to complete healing (HR 1.48, 95% CI 0.79 to 2.78, very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision).The final study (quasi-experimental cluster trial), explored the impact of multidisciplinary wound care among 176 nursing home residents. It is unclear whether there is a difference in the number of pressure ulcers healed between multidisciplinary care, or usual care (RR 1.18, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.42; very low-certainty evidence, downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision). It is unclear if this type of care leads to a difference in time to complete healing compared with usual care (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.50; very low-certainty evidence; downgraded twice for very serious study limitations and twice for very serious imprecision).In all studies the certainty of the evidence is very low due to high risk of bias and imprecision. We downgraded the evidence due to study limitations, which included selection and attrition bias, and sample size. Secondary outcomes, such as adverse events were not reported in all studies. Where they were reported it was unclear if there was a difference as the certainty of evidence was very low. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Evidence for the impact of organisation of health services for preventing and treating pressure ulcers remains unclear. Overall, GRADE assessments of the evidence resulted in judgements of very low-certainty evidence. The studies were at high risk of bias, and outcome measures were imprecise due to wide confidence intervals and small sample sizes, meaning that additional research is required to confirm these results. The secondary outcomes reported varied across the studies and some were not reported. We judged the evidence from those that were reported (including adverse events), to be of very low certainty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired complications increase length of stay and contribute to poorer patient outcomes. Older adults are known to be at risk for four key hospital-acquired complications (pressure injuries, pneumonia, urinary tract infections and delirium). These complications have been identified as sensitive to nursing characteristics such as staffing levels and level of education. The cost of these complications compared to the cost of admission severity, dementia, other comorbidities or age has not been established. METHOD To investigate costs associated with nurse-sensitive hospital-acquired complications in an older patient population 157,178 overnight public hospital episodes for all patients over age 50 from one Australian state, 2006/07 were examined. A retrospective cohort study design with linear regression analysis provided modelling of length-of-stay costs. Explanatory variables included patient age, sex, comorbidities, admission severity, dementia status, surgical status and four complications. Extra costs were based on above-average length-of-stay for each patient's Diagnosis Related Group from hospital discharge data. RESULTS For adults over 50 who have length of stay longer than average for their diagnostic condition, comorbid dementia predicts an extra cost of A$874, (US$1,247); any one of four key complications predicts A$812 (US$1,159); each increase in admission severity score predicts A$295 ($US421); each additional comorbidity predicts A$259 (US$370), and for each year of age above 50 predicts A$20 (US$29) (all estimates significant at p<0.0001). DISCUSSION Hospital-acquired complications and dementia cost more than other kinds of inpatient complexity, but admission severity is a better predictor of excess cost. Because complications are potentially preventable and dementia care in hospitals can be improved, risk-reduction strategies for common complications, particularly for patients with dementia could be cost effective. CONCLUSIONS Complications and dementia were found to cost more than other kinds of inpatient complexity.

Abstract
AIM This study was focused on determining relationships between confidence levels and self-efficacy among nurse managers. BACKGROUND Frontline nurse managers have a pivotal role in delivering high-quality patient care while managing the associated costs and resources. The competency and skill of nurse managers affect every aspect of patient care and staff well-being as nurse managers are largely responsible for creating work environments in which clinical nurses are able to provide high-quality, patient-centred, holistic care. METHOD A descriptive, correlational survey design was used; 85 nurse managers participated. RESULTS Years in a formal leadership role and confidence scores were found to be significant predictors of self-efficacy scores. CONCLUSIONS Experience as a nurse manager is an important component of confidence and self-efficacy. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT There is a need to develop educational programmes for nurse managers to enhance their self-confidence and self-efficacy, and to maintain experienced nurse managers in the role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased length of stay and high rates of adverse clinical events in hospitalised patients with dementia is stimulating interest and debate about which costs may be associated and potentially avoided within this population. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was designed to identify and compare estimated costs for older people in relation to hospital-acquired complications and dementia. Australia's most populous state provided a census sample of 426,276 discharged overnight public hospital episodes for patients aged 50+ in the 2006-07 financial year. Four common hospital-acquired complications (urinary tract infections, pressure areas, pneumonia, and delirium) were risk-adjusted at the episode level. Extra costs were attributed to patient length of stay above the average for each patient's Diagnosis Related Group, with separate identification of fixed and variable costs (all in Australian dollars). RESULTS These four complications were found to be associated with 6.4% of the total estimated cost of hospital episodes for people over 50 (A$226million/A$3.5billion), and 24.7% of the estimated extra cost of above-average length of stay spent in hospital for older patients (A$226million/A$914million). Dementia patients were more likely than non-dementia patients to have complications (RR 2.5, p <0.001) and these complications comprised 22.0% of the extra costs (A$49million/A$226million), despite only accounting for 10.4% of the hospital episodes (44,488/426,276). For both dementia and non-dementia patients, the complications were associated with an eightfold increase in length of stay (813%, or 3.6 days/0.4 days) and doubled the increased estimated mean episode cost (199%, or A$16,403/A$8,240). CONCLUSION Urinary tract infections, pressure areas, pneumonia and delirium are potentially preventable hospital-acquired complications. This study shows that they produce a burdensome financial cost and reveals that they are very important in understanding length of stay and costs in older and complex patients. Once a complication occurs, the cost is similar for people with and without dementia. However, they occur more often among dementia patients. Advances in models of care, nurse skill-mix and healthy work environments show promise in prevention of these complications for dementia and non-dementia patients.

Abstract
Registered nurse turnover is an important indicator of the nurse job market. Despite its wide use as a measure for health-care system analysis, there is a lack of consistency in the definition of turnover. Some definitions include any nurse leaving an organization; others may include involuntary and voluntary leaving. These inconsistent definitions also result in various turnover rates. The RN Work Project is a 10-year panel study of new nurses. Data were collected from the new nurses, rather than from a specific organization. About 17.5% of new nurses leave their first job within 1 year of starting their jobs. Consistent and accurate measurement of turnover is an important step in addressing organizational work environments and policies about the nursing workforce.
