“…The active presence of leaders provides opportunities for nurses to be supported in terms of their resilience and ability to thrive in their daily work (Daly et al, 2020). Additionally, there is a positive ripple effect of effective leadership and support that flows from leader to staff and beyond (Prestia, 2020). Our study findings reflect how this ripple effect can also be reciprocal in which the resilience of all of those involved, particularly in emotionally difficult situations such as those caused by the pandemic, is nurtured.…”

Background: Working on the frontlines of hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging and distressing for nurses. The troublesome nature of these emotions have surfaced because of uncharted territory related to this virus, compromised work conditions, unfavourable patient outcomes, and the witnessing of suffering and loss. Although there has been renewed emphasis on how to emotionally support nurses, the nature of support needed is somewhat unknown considering that healthcare professionals have not experienced a pandemic of this magnitude in their lifetime. Aim: We explored how nurses were emotionally supported and how they can be better supported while working in COVID-19 acute care hospital environments. Methods: In this narrative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 registered nurses working in hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area and working on units caring for COVID-19+ patients. Results and Conclusions: Our findings reflected the organic emergence of support, intentional forms of support, and the social justice nature of support. It is important for hospital and government leaders to employ a multifold approach to emotionally support nurses. These supports include information transparency, visible presence of leadership, and recognition of nurses’ contributions. While emotionally supporting nurses, these types of resources can act as “little lights in this dark tunnel” of COVID-19 and illuminate a path forward. Implications: Some strategies relevant to clinical practice include regular rounding of units by leaders, and transparent communication about information and resources. Other strategies are on-site psychological support and legitimate support of mental health sick days as well as lobbying governments for financial compensation for the risky work involved in being a frontline provider and appropriate provision of personal protective equipment.

“…Three of the research studies applied the quantitative and two qualitative methods. The studies addressed nurse leaders' resilience (Duncan, 2020 ; Jeffs et al, 2020 ) and their role in supporting nurses' resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic (Abd‐EL Aliem & Abou Hashish, 2021 ; Berkow et al, 2020 ; Cariaso‐Sugay et al, 2021 ; Chesak et al, 2020 ; Dimino et al, 2020 ; Duncan, 2020 ; Heuston et al, 2021 ; Jeffs et al, 2020 ; Kreh et al, 2021 ; Leng et al, 2021 ; Markey et al, 2021 ; Prestia, 2021 ) (Table 1 ).

“…Authentic, exemplary, ethical, and transformational leadership styles were presented to benefit nurse leaders in supporting nurses' resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic (Abd‐EL Aliem & Abou Hashish, 2021 ; Dimino et al, 2020 ; Duncan, 2020 ; Jeffs et al, 2020 ; Leng et al, 2021 ; Markey et al, 2021 ; Prestia, 2021 ).

“…Regular communication was one method through which a nurse leader supported staff during the adaptation, change, progress, and promotion of resilience associated with remote work. The ability to inspire, i.e., Kouzes' and Posner's theory of Exemplary leadership, was reported to be invaluable during crises (Prestia, 2021 ). In addition, nurse leaders have a vital role in empowering nurses and supporting an organisation's commitment to safe and quality care (Markey et al, 2021 ).…”

Aim To explore nurse leaders' resilience and their role in supporting nurses' resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Background The COVID‐19 pandemic has challenged health care systems on a global level. Nurse leaders are tasked with ensuring high‐quality care, even during crises, which requires active problem‐solving and confidence in the future—resilience from leaders. Method A scoping review was conducted using inductive thematic analysis and the PCC (Participants, Concept, Context) framework. The PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases, as well additional studies and grey literature, were searched from December 2019 to June 2021. Results The review included 12 studies. Nurse leaders' self‐awareness, self‐reflection, and coping strategies described their resilience during the pandemic. A relational leadership style, supportive and safe work environment, and adequate communication were found to support nurses' resilience. Conclusions There is scarce research concerning nurse leaders' resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Future research needs to address nurse leaders' personal resilience due to the link with nurses' resilience. Implications for Nursing Management A healthy work environment is essential for nurses' resilience. During crises, nurse leaders should adopt relational leadership styles and actively interact with nursing staff.

“…The lack of guidance in completing the task and communication between leader and employees are allegedly one of the causes of low motivation. It is stated that leadership is an ability owned by someone to influence someone else to do a better work in order to achieve the goals of companies or organizations (Prestia, 2021). In addition, leadership is declared as a process conducted by a leader to influence, coordinate and guide another party in an organization or a company to achieve determined goals (Budiman & Barata, 2018).…”
