“…This study showed that decision‐making skills were relevant for nurse managers (Karathanasi et al, ; Schroeder & Worral‐Carter, ; Siirala et al, ). An earlier study carried out in the field of acute health care indicated that decision‐making differed between professionals and nurse managers’ decision‐making was far‐reaching (Lundgrén‐Laine et al, ).…”

“…Analysis revealed that nurse managers often had a bachelor's degree (Karathanasi et al, ; Martin & Waring, ; Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Rudolfsson et al, ) and few were academically qualified (Kondrat, ; Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Rudolfsson et al, ). In one study (Siirala et al, ), there was no mention of educational degrees for nurse managers.…”

“…Many of the previously mentioned skills call for decision‐making skills, a requirement in some of the analysed studies (Karathanasi et al, ; Schroeder & Worral‐Carter, ; Siirala et al, ). Only one study (Siirala et al, ) focused on decisions made by nurse managers in daily unit operation. Decision‐making can be seen, for example, as part of the ability to prioritize, manage time and negotiate.…”

“…Planning of the surgical schedule was mostly the task of nurse manager (Marjamaa & Kirvelä, ; Siirala et al, ). The scheduling of their managerial duties together with the daily unit operation helped nurse managers to cope with the managerial demands (Schroeder & Worral‐Carter, ).…”

The nurse manager’s role in perioperative settings: An integrative literature review

Aim To describe the nurse manager's role in perioperative settings. Background The nurse manager's role is complex and its content unclear. Research in this area is scarce. We need to better understand what this role is to support the nurse manager's work and decision‐making with information systems. Evaluation An integrative literature review was conducted in May 2018. Databases CINAHL, Cochrane, PubMed and Web of Science were used together with a manual search. The review followed a framework especially designed for integrative reviews. Quality of the literature was analysed with an assessment tool. Nine studies published between 2001 and 2016 were included in the final review. Key issue The findings from the review indicate that the nurse manager's role requires education and experience, and manifests in skills and tasks. A bachelor's degree with perioperative specialisation is the minimum educational requirement for a nurse manager. Conclusion Research lacks a clear description of the nurse manager's role in perioperative settings. However, the role evolves by education. More education provides advanced skills and, thereby, more demanding tasks. Information technology could provide useful support for task management. Implications for Nursing Management These findings can be used to better answer the current and future demands of the nurse manager's work.

Aim To identify nurse managers' essential information needs in daily unit operation in perioperative settings. Design Qualitative and quantitative descriptive design. Methods The study consisted of (I) generation of an item pool of potential information needs, (II) assessment of the item pool by an expert panel and (III) confirming the essential information needs of nurse managers in daily unit operation with a survey (N = 288). Content validity index values were calculated for the assessments by expert panel and in the survey. Internal consistency of the final item pool was explored with Cronbach's alpha. The data were collected from 2011–2015. Results During the study process, the number of essential information needs decreased from 92–41. The final item pool consisted of 12 subthemes, and they were categorized into four main themes: patient's care process, surgical procedure, human resources and tangible resources. The findings can be used to create a knowledge map for information system purposes.

Nurse Managers' Opinions of Information System Support for Performance Management: A Correlational Study

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Current information systems do not effectively support nurse managers’ duties, such as reporting, resource management and assessing clinical performance. Few performance management information systems are available and features in many are scattered. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine nurse managers’ opinions of information system support for performance management. Methods: An online questionnaire was used to collect data from nurse managers (n = 419). Pearson’s correlation coefficients and linear regression were used to examine the relationships between variables, which were nurse managers’ ability to manage resources, to report and evaluate productivity, and to assess nursing performance and clinical procedures. Results: More than half of the managers used performance management systems daily. Managers (60%) felt that they can use information systems to follow the use of physical resources and in general (63%) they felt that it is easy to perform searches with the systems used for following up activity. Nurse managers’ ability to manage resources, to report productivity, and to assess nursing care performance were correlated significantly with each other. Conclusion: Currently, managers have to collect data from various systems for management purposes, as system integration does not support performance data collection. The availability of continuous in-service training had a positive effect on information system use.
