“…Organizational investment in leadership could also support this, as it has been identified that having supportive and credible leaders results in nurses feeling valued (Cope et al, 2016). Compassion leadership, a growing topic in the literature, is based on values to support others' wellbeing and emotional intelligence while focusing on a person's strengths (Salminen‐Tuomaala & Seppälä, 2022).…”

Mental health nursing is a privilege and a rewarding profession. There has been a call for transformational change in mental health services to improve outcomes for the people of New Zealand, with mental health nurses integral to this. However, with predicted nursing shortages, high levels of burnout, and increasing demands in the workplace, an organizational focus on wellbeing for mental health nurses is needed to sustain the workforce, implement change and improve outcomes for people using mental health services. An integrative review of the literature was undertaken to explore how organizations can optimize mental health nurses' wellbeing in the workplace and to identify measures for organizations to support mental health nurses' wellbeing with a focus on New Zealand. Seven articles were included in this review after a search, data extraction and evaluation. Data were synthesized and categorized using thematic analysis. The findings indicate organizations can invest in several initiatives to enhance mental health nurses' wellbeing in the workplace. These include professional development, skills to build resilience, enabling time to reflect on practice, enhancing professional supervision, having the right managerial support and focusing on individual's strengths. Organizations need to prioritize mental health nurses' wellbeing by embedding the practical strategies this review identified and by addressing organizational barriers to wellbeing. Organizations should consider implementing multileveled organizational wellbeing initiatives to nurture and grow the New Zealand mental health nursing workforce which in turn will contribute to quality care and enable mental health nurses to have long meaningful careers. Time, investment and resources are essential for these initiatives to be effective.

“…Research confirms that empowering leadership practices, for example, transformational leadership, can influence nurse retention and work engagement. [6,41,42] Some researchers, for example Schuck [43] and de Zulueta, [44] have strongly advocated compassionate leadership, which emphasizes presence and empathy and goes beyond traditional leader-follower roles by seeing leadership as a dynamic shared or distributed process. Last, according to some participants in this study, nurses should consider the impact their negative attitudes have on the image and appreciation of the nursing profession.…”

“…[2] Nursing has become less appealing due to excessive workloads, prolonged shifts, and stress. [3][4][5][6] A study in Finland revealed that work demands are frequently experienced as overwhelming and the working conditions as poor. [7] According to the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, the attractiveness of nursing and nurses' well-being at work is impaired by constant changes, insecurity, and lack of influence.…”

Objective: This qualitative study provides up-to-date knowledge about today’s nursing students’ views and experiences of factors that can increase or decrease the attractiveness of nursing and presents students’ ideas for improving the nursing profession.Methods: Data were collected from 168 nursing students at the University of Applied Sciences in Finland through an online survey in March 2022. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: According to the students, the attractiveness of nursing is decreased because nursing is not adequately appreciated, the resources and salary do not match the workload, the working atmosphere can be detrimental to psychological well-being, and there is frequently little support from nurse leaders. Factors that could increase the profession’s attractiveness involve advancing nursing’s role at the level of individuals, organizations, and society; meaningfulness of nursing duties, influencing one’s work; better working conditions and well-being at work; development of nursing leadership; and work and career advancement. Students suggest promoting marketing and the appreciation of nursing, developing leadership and the theoretical and practical competence of supervisors, promoting nurses’ daily coping and well-being at work, and raising salaries.Conclusions: The status and image of nursing must be addressed at the level of individuals, organizations, and society, both nationally and internationally. Nurses themselves must appreciate their profession and feel that they have a possibility to advance their careers.

“…The quantitative data was converted into qualitative data following the JBI convergent integrated approach for MMSR by extracting the quantitative data and translating it into textual data based on the research questions by repeated detailed examination (Lizarondo et al , 2020). Data was collected from two of the quantitative studies (Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022a; Sansó et al , 2022), and three quantitative studies (López-Díaz et al , 2022; Papadopoulos et al , 2021; Papadopoulos et al , 2022) had already reported their findings in a qualitative form. The qualitative data were then pooled with the data from the qualitative studies, allowing quantitative and qualitative data to be combined (Stern et al , 2021) (Supplementary Table 6).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify and synthesise the best evidence on health-care leaders’ and professionals’ experiences and perceptions of compassionate leadership. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed-methods systematic reviews using a convergent integrated approach. A systematic search was done in January 2023 in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Medic and MedNar databases. The results were reported based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. Findings Ten studies were included in the review (five qualitative and five quantitative). The thematic analysis identified seven analytical themes as follows: treating professionals as individuals with an empathetic and understanding approach; building a culture for open and safe communication; being there for professionals; giving all-encompassing support; showing the way as a leader and as a strong professional; building circumstances for efficient work and better well-being; and growing into a compassionate leader. Practical implications Compassionate leadership can possibly address human resource-related challenges, such as health-care professionals’ burnout, turnover and the lack of patient safety. It should be taken into consideration by health-care leaders, their education and health-care organisations when developing their effectiveness. Originality/value This review synthesised the knowledge of compassionate leadership in health care and its benefits by providing seven core elements of health-care leaders’ and professionals’ experiences and perceptions of compassionate leadership.
