“…Tis notion is consistent with recommendations made in other studies [38,39]. Strengthening nurse managers' knowledge, skills, and competencies in evidenceinformed management is particularly critical, as a lack of competencies has been reported a common barrier to establishing a culture that supports evidence-informed practices [39,40]. To enhance nurse managers' competencies, various strategies should be employed and supported by the executive management of a health organization.…”

Background and Objectives. The scarce empirical and scientific information concerning evidence-informed management reports various benefits for nurse managers, including reduced staff turnover, enhanced working environments, and improved patient outcomes and policy implementation. This review summarizes best available evidence on facilitating utilization of evidence-informed management practices by nurse managers in healthcare facilities. The review could assist in a comprehensive overview of determinants that could assist nurse managers’ successful utilization of evidence-informed management. Methods. An integrative review of the literature was conducted, including peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2022. The databases used were BioMed Central, CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, PubMed (via EBSCOhost), the Complimentary Index (Taylor and Francis, Elsevier, Wiley, and Springer), Sabinet, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, followed by a manual search using Google Scholar and a citation search. Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-based Practice Research and non-Research evidence tools were used for appraisal. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize the extracted data. Results. Based on thirteen determinants influencing nurse managers’ utilization of evidence-informed management practices, three themes were identified from a total of thirteen relevant studies: (1) Nurse manager determinants in utilization of evidence-informed management (Microlevel); (2) Organizational determinants in utilization of evidence-informed management (Mesolevel); (3) External stakeholders and context determinants of utilization of evidence-informed management practices (Macrolevel). Conclusion. The themes were found to be interconnected and interdependent, facilitating the effective utilization of evidence-informed management by nurse managers at micro-, meso-, and macrolevels, but highlight the need for strengthening health systems and support. Future studies are required to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants influencing nurse managers’ utilization of evidence-informed management practices. Implications for Nursing Management. For nurse managers to optimally utilize evidence-informed management, executive management and policymakers require to provide resources and support such as continuous education, incentives, effective communication, funding structures, and ownership.

Background: Communication skills trainings can enhance nursing professionals’ patient-centered communication skills, fostering positive health outcomes for both patients and nursing professionals. Understanding experiences and preferences of the target group is crucial when developing a specific communication skills training. Thus, it is essential to involve not only nurses but also nurse managers in the training development, as they offer a comprehensive overview of communication challenges experienced by nursing staff. Therefore, this study aimed to explore nurse managers’ perspectives on essential content for developing a patient-centered communication skills training. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with nurse managers working at an academic medical center in Germany. Transcripts of audio-recorded interviews were analyzed using Kuckatz’s qualitative content analysis. Results: N = 18 nurse managers from various medical disciplines such as gynecology, psychiatry, pediatrics, and neurology participated in the study. The majority highlighted the importance of enhancing general communication skills and strategies such as showing empathy and applying tailored communication, as well as addressing communication challenges with patients. Fewer participants emphasized the need for training in professional self-awareness, communication with relatives, and culturally sensitive communication. Conclusion: Nurse managers identified crucial aspects for a training to enhance nurses’ patient-centered communication, revealing similar communication challenges across all medical disciplines.
