“…Appreciative Inquiry promotes a new way of thinking and may lead to 'congruence between espoused values and practices' (Kavanagh et al 2008, p.43). Espousing values of caring and excellence is one M a n u s c r i p t 3 thing but demonstrating this in a complex healthcare environment can be challenging (McSherry et al 2012). Appreciative Inquiry may offer opportunities for attaining high quality practice by encouraging excellence in being responsive to complexity and embracing 'innovative and entrepreneurial' frameworks for care (McSherry et al 2012, p.7).…”

“…Meanwhile, the Australian nursing and midwifery federation also holds courses to enhance communication and management skills of nurses (22,23). In the United Kingdom, governmental and non-governmental organizations outside the national medical system of the country, such as the center for excellence in services and the national institute of health, carry out research on the characteristics of nursing managers and help them meet selection criteria through a feedback to service delivery units (24,25). Different universities also play a major advisory role regarding research activities and promotion of knowledge on the factors affecting the selection of nurses (26).…”

Background: Today, nursing is getting more complex and specialized and nursing management is of great significance. Nursing managers play an essential role in organizing, providing services, and enhancing the quality of nursing care. For this reason, this study aimed at determining the framework, dimensions, and requirements for selection, training, and recruitment of nursing managers in selected hospitals of different countries to provide a review and comparison of experiences. Methods: A mixed-method design was used to provide a model for selection, recruitment, and training of nursing managers in Iran, 2017. With a comparative study, the variables were identified. A data extraction form was used to collect data and content analysis was used to analyze data in the comparative phase. Finally, the initial questionnaire was compiled and approved by the experts. The final questionnaire was then given to 250 individuals and data were analyzed using factor analysis in Amos software. Results: 50 main items were extracted based on comparative findings in the three main dimensions: selection, training, and recruitment. 17 items were related to selection, 12 to training, and 21 to recruitment. Selection based on human skills of qualified people, teaching specialized principles of nursing management in the nursing university curriculum, and the existence of a planning committee for job analysis had the most impact on the selection, training, and recruitment of nursing managers in hospitals. Conclusions: Professional associations under the supervision of the ministry of health and paying attention to human skills of qualified individuals can play an important role in selecting nursing managers. Therefore, these associations should be used more. Recruitment standards and criteria in the field of nursing management requires more information clarification and factors such as education, organization, and institutionalization should be discussed and localized according to the conditions of different countries.

“…[7] Shared responsibility among managers, nurse leaders and educators is essential to supporting excellence in nursing care and improving the image of the nursing profession. [8] Several studies indicate that management approaches in the ward, leadership styles and attitudes toward students' learning are important when creating learning environments, [9][10][11] and these are likely to be associated with the integrating nursing practice and education. [12] In general, a CEU is expected to accept more students, have an elaborate educational structure and provide excellent care based on evidence than a traditional hospital ward.…”

Background: Managers in clinical education units (CEUs) have the responsibility to facilitate evidence-based environments for both caring and learning. Promoting such environments might be challenging in times of financial constraints and organisation changes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe how managers experience their responsibility to support the caring and learning environments in CEUs. Methods: The study method followed the principles of Reflective Lifeworld Research (RLR) grounded in a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted at a hospital in Southern Sweden. Ten first-and second-line managers responsible for CEUs were interviewed. The interviews were conducted as reflective dialogues using an open, and bridled approach. Results: The results show that clinical education unit managers regard the responsibility to support caring and learning environments as a challenging experience, elucidated in three themes: (1) to have or to take responsibility; (2) cooperation that supports and challenges; and (3) bringing it all together -a daily struggle. Conclusions: In conclusion, the managers of CEUs need to be aware of the importance of common theoretical grounds for caring and learning. Caring and learning are more likely to be intertwined when responsibility is taken, when collaboration between actors is characterised by respect and when an awareness of the importance of reflection is present. Awareness of the importance of creating opportunities for reflection and mutual collaboration among the different actors involved could lead to improvements in nursing education and, therefore, improved patient care.
