Resilience is the psychological capability to recover from difficulties quickly. Healthcare professionals are especially vulnerable to job-related stress and burnout. Unitary Caring Science is the framework for Watson’s Human Caring Theory, providing a philosophy of practice in healthcare. With the high rates of clinician burnout and psychological issues, it will be significant to unify the human caring theory with research-informed psychological and neuroscience evidence to develop clinicians’ resilience-building strategies. The purpose of this article is to introduce a Unitary Caring Science Resilience Model and explain the science behind the core strategies based on Unitary Caring Science philosophy and the psychological and neuroscience research. This model includes six strategies: Embracing loving-kindness for self and others; Nurturing interpersonal and intersubjective connections/relations; Deepening a creative use of self and sense of belonging; Balancing self-learning, self-awareness, and an evolved self-consciousness; Valuing forgiveness and releasing negativity; Inspiring and maintaining faith-hope. The caring-theory guided resilience-building strategies are proven to alleviate the depletion of clinicians’ energy and emotions. Healthcare practices are challenging but rewarding. Clinicians can be emotionally, psychologically, and physically exhausted if they always consider themselves ‘giving’ and ‘doing’ institutional tasks without a sense of purpose or fulfillment. The practice can be rewarding if it becomes more aligned with clinicians’ value to serve humanity. Through the unitary caring science resilience strategies, clinicians can build resilience as an antidote to clinician burnout and depletion.

“…Some of the research included in this review reported that implementing different kinds of education and a succession planning framework promoted transformational leadership and improved employees’ leadership skills. Although the evidence in the presented studies was of low quality, relational leadership styles, such as transformational leadership, have been shown to significantly empower staff and foster a healthy work environment (Cummings et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2020).…”

An integrative review on interventions for strengthening professional governance in nursing

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aim To identify the interventions for strengthening professional nursing governance and describe their outcomes. Background The ever‐changing health care environment requires empowering governance structures and shared decision‐making. The costly nature of reshaping governance makes the identification of effective interventions vital. Evaluation An integrative review was carried out between January 2007 and May 2020 in the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Business source, Cochrane and Medic databases. The quality of the 12 included studies was evaluated with the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. Key issues Eight studies reported that the implemented interventions had positively influenced organisation regarding creating positive work environments, building new leadership competencies and increasing personnel's ability to take part in decision‐making. The overall quality of the evidence was judged to be moderate. Conclusion Comprehensive decision‐making structures, efficient teamwork and transformational leadership competencies among nurse leaders enable personnel to participate in decision‐making. Further research is needed to identify the most effective interventions for improving professional governance. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse leaders have to ensure that personnel have adequate opportunities to congregate and decide over matters concerning their work. Positive organisational climate and relational leadership style, along with highly functioning teams, are important prerequisites to nursing councils producing the desired outcomes.

“…Effective nursing leadership is critical to improving health care by reducing adverse events and ensuring quality care (Sfantou et al., 2017; Wei et al., 2020). Currently, the clinical setting is beset with challenges in meeting patients’ demands and expectations related to financial constraints, leadership styles, safety, and the quality of health care and attention (Aij & Rapsaniotis, 2017).…”

Clinical nurse managers’ leadership practices in Saudi Arabian hospitals: A descriptive cross‐sectional study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aim To understand the situational profiles of clinical nurse managers’ transformational leadership practices in Saudi hospitals. Background Clinical nurse managers’ effective leadership may enable registered nurses to provide safe patient care. Methods This included 29 clinical nurse managers and 318 registered nurses from three Saudi hospitals. Data were collected using the leadership practice inventory‐self and the leadership practice inventory‐observer. Results A significant difference between self‐ and observer‐assessed transformational leadership practices of clinical nurse managers was found. There was also a significant difference in transformational leadership practice between Saudi and non‐Saudi clinical nurse managers. Ward experience of clinical nurse managers was statistically positively associated with higher ratings of “enabling others to act”. Length of clinical nurse managers’ experience was associated with “enabling others to act” and “encouraging the heart” practices. Conclusion Clinical nurse managers rated their transformational leadership performance higher than that reported by registered nurses. Further, non‐Saudi clinical nurse managers working in Saudi hospitals overestimated the extent of their transformational leadership practices. Implications for Nursing Management Clinical nurse managers should gather feedback about their leadership performance regularly and implement required changes. Hospital administrations should provide additional support to clinical nurse managers through effective leadership programmes, enculturation and team‐building strategies, to create a shared vision regarding the execution of optimal leadership.
