“…While these were moderate, they were all more than 50% and, as a group, may have compensated for the low self-rating for organizational ability. The self-reported scoring tendencies were similar with those of previous studies; [20,21] thus, our participants might have moderate confidence in their management abilities, which may further improve through the educational intervention. No education data were obtained for 3 participants and no position data were obtained for 2.…”

The purpose of this study was to clarify how Japanese nurse managers (i.e., “shunin”) or higher-ranked positions self-rate their nursing management competencies and to identify factors associated with their ability to develop staff. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the 41-item Management Index for Nurses. This index assesses the competencies related to six components of nursing management: planning, motivating staff, developing staff, communication, organization, and ensuring safety. The total possible score is 205 points. The mean percentage score for each component was calculated based on the responses from 118 participants (107 women; mean age = 44.1 ± 7.0 years). Results showed that the mean percentage score for competencies related to ensuring safety was, by far, the highest (71.8%), and the lowest was for competencies related to organization (47.6%). Principal factors found to be associated with participants’ ability to develop staff were “gathering and using information” (a subscale of “educational background and interests”) and “supportiveness of the work environment”. These results suggest that, to improve nurse managers’ competencies related to their ability to develop staff, hospitals need to establish continuing education systems that offer nurse managers convenient educational opportunities in management science, either on-site or at a higher education institution; and develop an in-house support system that enables managers to obtain counseling when practical management concerns cause them stress.

“…The effect of an IT support project on SOC was considered in one study: no significant within-subject effects for the total SOC scale and meaningfulness subscale was observed both in the group receiving the intervention and the control group. However, IT support improved the perception of psychosocial job satisfaction and the quality of care; in this sense the study showed a significant interaction effect for the family relation factors, close friend relation (LSQ), total SOC scale and meaningfulness subscale [41].…”

Background: Nurses experience high levels of distress due to the nature of their work and workplaces; Antonovsky’s salutogenic theory shows that individual and work-related factors can influence human health. The aim of this paper is to analyze the possible correlations with different work-related and individual variables, which influence or are influenced by Sense of Coherence (SOC) and verify the possible use of SOC scales to prevent negative health determinants in workplaces. Methods: Electronic databases were searched with selected studies compared for sample, sample size, study design and basic results. Cross-sectional studies were reviewed for correlations between individual physical and mental health, distress, burnout, job satisfaction and SOC, with intervention studies used to assess the possible impact of training on nurses’ SOC. Results: The review found several correlations between SOC and different work-related variables; but also with several individual characteristics. Conclusion: The review found that SOC was predictor of depressive state, burnout, job dissatisfaction among female nurses; therefore, SOC could be a health promoting resource.

Summary Background This study aims to assess the levels of management competencies of primary health care (PHC) managers in Timor‐Leste. Timor‐Leste is a young country. It has made important improvements in reconstructing its health system since its independence in 2002. However, most managers still learn through their failures, and few studies have described the perceptions of managers in Timor‐Leste. Methods This study used quantitative methods, using a cross‐sectional survey involving a structured self‐administered questionnaire. The Cochran formula was used in calculating the sample size. The sample included 183 PHC managers in Timor‐Leste. Stratified random sampling was adopted to conduct the survey. The researcher used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to confirm the validity and reliability of the tools and create new dimensions. The data were analyzed using the frequency and percentage. Results This study was initially designed to include seven dimensions, but after confirming it using the CFA, it was reduced to six dimensions. The result of CFA was used. This study found that PHC managers in Timor‐Leste had rated themselves “not competent” in knowing the organization, professionalism in the workplace, problem solving on financial management, and effective leadership and only “competent” in managing human resources and communicating effectively. Conclusion This study determined that policy makers and stakeholders must give more attention to knowing the organization, professionalism in the workplace, problem solving on financial management, and effective leadership. Managers need to be competent and have various skills to perform managerial functions effectively and efficiently.
