“…Our results firstly showed that the inclusive leadership of Chinese head nurses was not so good. We considered the possible reasons that hospital management system was imperfect and most leaders of head nurses needed to pay much attention to the way of improving their work efficiency, rather than focusing on the leadership (Sortedahl, Persinger, Sobtzak, Farrell, & Jaeger, 2017).…”

Aim This study investigated the relationship between work engagement and inclusive leadership in Chinese hospital head nurses. Besides, it explored the effect of the mediating role of inclusive leadership in the relationship between work engagement and innovative behaviour among Chinese hospital head nurses. Background Head nurses are essential in the group of registered nurses who are to pass the Chinese licensure examination for nurses. Their work engagement and innovative behaviour are beneficial to improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of nursing services. However, little is known about the mediating role of inclusive leadership in the relationship between work engagement and innovative behaviour. Methods In April 2018, a total of 374 Chinese head nurses were surveyed with a Work Engagement Scale, an Inclusive Leadership Scale and an Innovative Behavior Scale. Because the data were normally distributed in our study, Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was used to conduct the correlation analysis of study variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the factors of innovative behaviour. Model 4 of Hayes's (2013) PROCESS macro and Bootstrap method was used to examine the mediating role of inclusive leadership. Result Inclusive leadership was significantly and positively correlated to innovative behaviour and work engagement (p < 0.01). Moreover, work engagement was correlated with innovative behaviour (p < 0.01). In addition, hospital level, publishing papers, work engagement and inclusive leadership were the factors of head nurses’ innovative behaviour (p < 0.01). Inclusive leadership partially mediated the relationship between work engagement and innovative behaviour, accordingly. Conclusion Work engagement affects innovative behaviour among Chinese head nurses, and inclusive leadership is a mediator in the relationship. We should take measures to improve the leaders’ level of inclusive leadership, in order to strengthen head nurses’ innovative behaviour. Implications for nursing management According to the results of the study, the leaders of head nurses should pay attention to improve head nurses’ innovative behaviour, inclusive leadership, work engagement, and the quality and competitiveness of nursing.

“…In China, head nurses are primary administrators responsible for managing the clinical nursing as well as matters related to patient care and hospital operations while coordinating among doctors, patients, and nurses. These nursing leaders may occasionally tend to be more focused on improving their work efficiency, instead of inclusive leadership behaviour (Sortedahl et al., 2017). This can be remedied through introduction of training and rewards programs which can help draw the focus back to inclusive practices.…”

Aims Nurses are at the forefront of public health emergencies facing psychological pressures ensuing from the loss of patients and potential risk of infection while treating the infected. This study examines whether inclusive leadership has a causal relationship with psychological distress and to assess the mediation effect of psychological safety on this relationship in the long run. The hypotheses are developed and interpreted with the help of theoretical underpinnings from job demands resources theory and the theory of shattered assumptions. Design Three‐wave longitudinal study. Methods Questionnaire was used to carry out three waves of data collection from 405 nurses employed at five hospitals in Wuhan during the COVID‐19 outbreak between the months of January–April 2020. Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) was used to analyze data while controlling for age, gender, education, experience, and working hours. Results Results supported the hypothesized relationships where inclusive leadership indicated significant inverse causal relationship with psychological distress and a positive causal relationship with psychological safety. Mediation effect of psychological safety was found significant, while the model explained 73.9% variance in psychological distress. Conclusion Inclusive leadership, through its positive and supportive characteristics, can pave way for such mechanisms that improve the psychological safety of employees in the long run and curbs psychological distress. Impact This is the first longitudinal study to examine the relationship between inclusive leadership and psychological distress in health care and also examines the mediating mechanism of psychology safety. There is scarcity of empirical research on factors that determine and affect behavioural mechanism of healthcare workers during traumatic events and crisis. Clinical leaders and healthcare policy makers must invest in and promote inclusive and supportive environment characterized with open and accessible leaders at workplace to improve psychological safety; it helps reduce levels of psychological distress.

“…That is, in order to have competence in this dimension, the students need to develop components such as communication/interpersonal skills, participation in group work, work commitment, clinical management and initiatives in clinical fields. Sortedahl et al () also highlighted the communication skills, self‐awareness, leadership and ability to manage conflicts and possible changes as the necessary professional behaviours for the students, and emphasized the necessity of obtaining these skills. Since a significant part of nurses’ professional behaviour is formed during their academic education and providing patient care in clinical fields, it is important for the authorities of nursing education to create a suitable platform for the students’ competency in this dimension (Arrigoni et al ; Heshmati Nabavi et al ).…”

Aim This study aimed to conceptualize and explain the core clinical competencies of nursing students in Iran. Background/Introduction Despite the national and international efforts to modify nursing curricula such that the students’ clinical competencies are improved, there is still a widespread concern about this issue, perhaps due to the impact of factors other than the curriculum itself, such as the lack of a clear definition for the concept of clinical competency and its main components in nursing students. Methods This qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis. The participants were selected through purposive sampling and included 14 senior students of bachelor of nursing, four nurses working in teaching hospitals and six clinical instructors. Individual semi‐structured interviews were used for data collection. After recording and transcribing the interviews, content analysis was used to extract the concepts. Findings The main theme of the study was ‘multidimensionality of the concept of clinical competency,’ which had six main categories, namely ‘adoption of and adaptation with the nursing practice,’ ‘nursing knowledge,’ ‘self‐direction in clinical learning,’ ‘patient care skills,’ ‘professional ethics’ and ‘the development of professional behaviours.’ Discussion/Conclusion Clinical competency and its dimensions among students comprise a multidimensional concept. Having a clear and comprehensive understanding of this concept and focusing on its core axes may be the most important step in improving students’ clinical competency. Implications for nursing, health and education policy Policymakers and nursing education authorities can identify the problems existing in the students’ clinical competency and provide them with practical solutions for a standard professional education through a clear understanding of the concept of clinical competency and its dimensions.
