“…Scholars studying resilience among healthcare professionals and military recruits contextualize their studies as investigating resilience in high‐stress occupations. Boitshwarelo et al (2020) used a mixed method design to study nurse managers; individuals with moderate to high resilience scores as measured by the Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale were then studied qualitatively. The study found that resilient nurse managers could: (a) uphold personal values, (b) employ life skills, (c) apply appropriate leadership skills, and (d) access social support (Boitshwarelo et al, 2020).…”

“…Therefore, it is important for nurse managers to balance the needs of their organisation, patients, team, and the internal resources to positively face the challenges of work environment (Marrelli, 2017).

Aim:The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of Jordanian first-line nurse managers during COVID-19.Background: Nurses are exposed to life-threatening occupational risks during COVID-19. Exploring the first-line nurse managers' experiences will help in designing health policies to better deal with such emerging crises.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological study was conducted. A purposive sample was used to recruit 16 first-line nurse managers from Jordanian hospitals.Semistructured interviews were conducted. Phenomenological data analysis method was used to analyse the data. Results: Four major themes emerged: (a) unprecedented pressure (first-line nurse managers revealed their suffering with the unprecedented demanding situations during COVID-19 pandemic); (b) strengthening system and resilience (nurse managers employed several strategies to strengthen the health system and enhance resilience); (c) building a supportive team (the presence of a robust supportive system is vital to deal with the pandemic); and (d) maturity during the crisis (exposure to a new experience developed nurse managers management skills and self-awareness). Conclusions: The unprecedented pressure associated with COVID-19 drained first-line nurse managers physically and psychosocially. Providing adequately trained staff and medical equipment is important to better deal with crises. Implications for Nursing Management: Strengthening emergency training and improving emergency response plans of hospitals are essential.

Purpose Effective leadership in public health organisations is essential for achieving positive outcomes and ensuring the quality of healthcare services. This review aimed to identify the competencies that nurse leaders of organisations working in the field of public health need to perform their tasks effectively. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive method with a scoping review was used, searching the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL databases. A total of 16 references were suitable for the final analysis. A summative literature analysis was conducted, identifying leadership competencies (N = 69) across various sources. The identified competencies were analysed by qualitative approach. Findings Competencies were categorised in 11 groups: Identifying Needs and Continuous Improvement; Strategic Planning in Line with Vision and Mission; Ensuring Professional Development; Maintaining Motivation; Delegating and Managing Tasks; Communication Skills; Building and Maintaining Relationships with Decision Makers; Problem Solving and Conflict Management; Tracking Professional Trends and Using Accurate Information; Resource Management and Human Resource Management; Organising Work. Originality/value The 11 groups of leadership competencies for nurses in public health organisations provide a content direction for educational activities aimed at nurse leaders and summarise the most important competencies required for effective leadership in public health organisations. Competent leadership is vital for the success and effectiveness of public health organisations in delivering quality healthcare services and addressing the evolving healthcare needs. Further research within specific field in public health is recommended to identify additional, field-specific competencies essential for effective leadership in diverse organisational settings.
