“…The literature regarding nursing management also recognized the importance of actualizing leadership and political skills to improve quality of nursing care. Our results are consistent with what Boykin, Schoenhofer, and Valentine [45] in addition to Pipe, [46] Williams, McDowell, and Kautz [47] have written on issues affecting NMs' leadership. These authors concurred in saying that a caring environment that recognizes NMs' leadership can have a significant impact on inter-professional collaboration, efficiency, management innovation, performance, and productivity.…”

Objective: Successive reorganizations of healthcare system around the globe have placed enormous pressure on the work of nurse managers (NMs) and this has eroded their quality of work life (QWL). However, little is known about the meaning of NMs' QWL. Aim: Inspired by Watson's Human Caring Science perspective, this study aimed to describe and understand the meaning of QWL among NMs working in a affiliated-university hospital. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological method the Relational Caring Inquiry (RCI) was conducted to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL. This qualitative method was used to collect and analyze data from two semi-structured interviews with 14 NMs in an affiliated-university hospital in Quebec, Canada. Results: The results have identified the following five Eidos-themes to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL: (1) actualizing leadership and political skills to improve the quality of nursing care; (2) contextual elements conducive to humanization of the organization; (3) organizational support promoting socioprofessional and personal fulfillment; (4) learning culture within the organization to encourage the development of nursing management skills; and (5) personalized support addressing the specific needs of new NMs. For NMs, the essence of the QWL experience is defined as a socioprofessional emancipation of NMs in their clinical-administrative practice in humanist organizations. Conclusions: Taking an organizational humanization perspective, the results reveal sustainable and practical potential strategies aimed at optimizing QWL implementation programs.

“…In complex healthcare environments, detachment from reflection and personal values, particularly during times of duress, can promote burnout (Souba 2006). Leadership development must include opportunities for personal reflection, so that a sense of self, leadership style and values can evolve (Souba 2006, Pipe 2008).…”

“…The use of a theoretical framework can sensitize the nurse to perceive, recognize, and process information in a systematic way and can help put order and meaning to chaotic situations. 8,9 Practice of nursing administration needs to be symbiotic in relation to theory and inquiry. DiVencenti states that "without a strong grounding in the finest knowledge, we run the risk of floundering aimlessly at work in a random tide."…”

The call for evidence has swept the healthcare landscape in medicine and nursing and more recently in nursing management. Nurse managers and administrators have been identified as important to support research use and evidence-based practice. The primary focus of this article is (1) to describe the concept of evidence, (2) to challenge the wisdom of basing the practice of leadership on a narrow (reductionistic) understanding of the concept of evidence, and (3) to argue for a rethinking on what should count as evidence in nursing administration. Semantic analysis and examination of dictionaries reveal that evidence as a concept has both an internal and an external dimension. To understand the concept of evidence in a profound sense as well as its significance for leadership this article describes 3 different meanings of the concept: ontological, contextual, and King's evidence.
