“…Other factors influencing satisfaction with current position that require special attention of nurse managers are direct‐care nurse staffing levels, absenteeism and work experience. Nurse managers, their leadership style and the work environment they manage play key roles in the quality of the nursing care provided in their units and staff outcomes (Alloubani et al, 2019; Pishgooie, Atashzadeh‐Shoorideh, Falcó‐Pgueroles, & Ltfi, 2019; Saleh et al, 2018). The findings highlight the importance of acknowledging satisfaction with nursing position as a complex phenomenon, requiring the full attention of nurse managers, continuing attention and further research of nurse scholars, and awareness of nurse clinicians and other nursing staff of what factors contribute to their well‐being and satisfaction at work.…”

“…Nursing management influences care outcomes (Aiken et al, 2016; Wong, Cummings, & Ducharme, 2013), but we found only a few studies concerning directly psychiatric nursing managers. Alloubani, Akhu‐Zaheaya, Abdelhafiz, and Almatari (2019) examined psychiatric nursing managers' leadership styles, but Blegen and Severinsson (2011) addressed mental health nursing management and leadership more broadly. Because management is a key component of strategies that aim to reduce containment methods, it is important to identify nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods.…”

Aims This research was conducted to examine psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods. Background Nursing management is regarded as a key issue in the reduction of coercion and containment. However, there has been little research on managers' attitudes towards containment methods. Methods This descriptive, cross‐sectional study utilized a survey design. Finnish inpatient psychiatric nursing managers (n = 90) completed the Attitudes to Containment Measures Questionnaire (ACMQ). The results were described with statistics, and the associations between attitudes and background variables were analysed using parametric tests. Results Psychiatric nursing managers had the most negative attitude towards net bed and mechanical restraint, and the most positive attitudes towards as necessary medication and intermittent observation. A few associations were discovered between attitudes and background variables such as gender and number of employees. Conclusions In general, Finnish psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods seem to be quite negative, but more research is needed. Implications for Nursing Management This study provides fresh and unique data on the attitudes of psychiatric nursing managers towards containment methods. Managers' attitudes are important because of their ability to encourage investment in coercion reduction by nursing staff.

“…Instead, most of the available research covers how a nurse manager's leadership style and work behavior in uence nursing outcomes. Multiple studies have identi ed a positive link between the relational leadership style and nurses' job satisfaction (3,6,40), while other research has linked this leadership approach with patient satisfaction (2,3,41). In addition, it is challenging for nurse managers to lead quality improvement in the complex everday environment of a health care organization (42).…”

Background Nurse managers play a critical role in enhancing nursing and patient outcomes. A nurse manager’s work, which can be described as a middle-manager at a health care organization, is complex and changes from day to day. Only a few studies have clarified how nurse managers divide their time across various work activities. This study aimed to describe the relationships between nurse managers’ work activities, nurses’ job satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and medication errors at the hospital unit level. Methods A cross-sectional and correlational study design was used. The data were collected from nurse managers (n= 29), nursing staff (n=306), and patients (n=651) from 28 units across three Finnish acute care hospitals between April and November in year 2017. In addition, data concerning medication errors over one calendar year (2017) were acquired from the hospitals’ incident reporting register. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to estimate relationships between data from subareas of Nurse Managers’ Work Content Questionnaire, Kuopio University Hospital Job Satisfaction Scale, and Revised Humane Caring Scale, along with medication errors reports. Significance level of 95% was used to estimate strength of covariances. Unstandardized coefficients (B) estimates were used to explain the relationship of variables.Results Multiple relationships between nurse managers’ work activities, nurses’ job satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and medication errors were identified. Nurse managers’ work activities had both positive and negative relationships on the other studied variables. The Requiring factors of work (p< .001) subarea of nurses’ job satisfaction, total patient satisfaction (p< .001), and medication errors (p< .001) were found to be the variables most significantly affected by other factors.Conclusions The findings suggest that nurse managers should focus on improving nursing practices by managing and organizing nurses’ work in a way that makes their employees feel supported, motivated and secure. Furthemore, nurse managers should adopt a leadership style that emphasizes safe and patient-centered care. The results also suggest that the administration of today’s health care organizations should actively evaluate nurse managers’ share of work activities to ensure that their daily work is in line with the organizational goals.
