[PMID: 38642838 DOI: 10.1016/j.enfcle.2024.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
Stressor-related disorders are a growing issue for both the individual and the organizations. The aim of the study was to analyze the strategies used by nurse managers to face crises. A systematic review of the literature, including qualitative studies was performed. Data were analyzed using framework-based synthesis and summarized into domains. Quality was evaluated using the JBI QARI Checklist. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data collection was based on interviews, followed by questionnaires and focus groups. Good communication, organizational commitment and emotional support were the principal domains. Institutions should support nurse managers to cope with stress and make suggestions for adaptations.

Kiljunen O, Savela RM, Välimäki T, Kankkunen P. Managers' perceptions of the factors affecting resident and patient safety work in residential settings and nursing homes: A qualitative systematic review. Res Nurs Health 2024. [PMID: 38522016 DOI: 10.1002/nur.22382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Identifying ways to ensure resident safety is increasingly becoming a priority in residential settings and nursing homes. The aim of this qualitative systematic review was to identify, describe, and assess research evidence on managers' perceptions regarding the barriers and facilitators of daily resident and patient safety work in residential settings and nursing homes. A qualitative systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis checklist. Published studies were sought through academic databases: Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, SocINDEX, and Web of Science Core Collection in April 2023. Finally, 12 studies were included. The results of the included studies were synthesized using thematic synthesis after data extraction. According to the results, (1) competent staff and material resources; (2) management and culture; (3) communication, networks, optimal use of expertise; and (4) effective use of guidelines, rules, and regulations play a significant role in the success of resident and patient safety work. The findings revealed that promoting resident safety should not be seen solely as the responsibility of individual residential or nursing home personnel, as it requires multiprofessional cooperation and access to wider networks. Staff and managers must be receptive to learning, changing, and improving safety. Moreover, to ensure resident safety, it is essential to ensure that the organizations support safety work in residential and nursing home units.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59050946. [PMID: 37241178 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59050946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Introduction: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was a period of uncertainty and stress for healthcare managers due to the lack of knowledge (about the transmission of the virus, etc.) and also due to the lack of uniform organisational and treatment procedures. It was a period where the ability to prepare for a crisis, to adapt to the existing conditions, and to draw conclusions from the situation were of critical importance to keep ICUs (intensive care units) operating. The aim of this project is to compare the pandemic response to COVID-19 in Poland during the first and second waves of the pandemic. This comparison will be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the response, including challenges presented to health professionals and health systems and ICUs with COVID-19 patients according to the European Union Resilience Model (2014) and the WHO Resilience Model (2020). The WHO Resilience model was suitable to the COVID-19 situation because it was developed based on this experience. Methods: A matrix of 6 elements and 13 standards assigned to them was created using the EC and WHO resilience guidelines. Results: Good governance in resilient systems ensures access to all resources without constraints, free and transparent flow of information, and a sufficient number of well-motivated human resources. Conclusions: Appropriate preparation, adaptation to the existing situation, and effective management of crisis situations are important elements of ensuring the resilience of ICUs.

Abstract
The nursing home sector was disproportionally affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and consequently, extreme mitigation strategies were taken in order to halt the spread of the virus. This research scrutinizes the manifestations of organizational trauma and healing amongst nursing home employees during the slow-burning pandemic. We aim to advance the contemporary debate around organizational healing that exclusively investigates fast-burning crises by translating these theories to a slow-burning crisis. Using participatory action research, we conducted two months of visual ethnographic fieldwork in a small-scale nursing home located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from October to December 2021. Here, we present our findings constituting text and short videos according to the following four themes: (1) Emotional challenges in the workplace; (2) Cultural incompatibility of infection control strategies; (3) Navigating the ethics of decision-making; and (4) Organizational scars and healing perspectives. We propose the new concept of trauma distillation to describe and analyse how simmering organizational wounds are re-opened and purified to trigger a prolonged healing process in the context of slow-burning crises. Ultimately, this may lead to the acknowledgement and acceptance of such organizational wounds as multi-layered and intractable, aiming for a theoretical and empirical understanding of how to heal these. Our use of visual methods offers employees the opportunity to share their stories, make their suffering heard, and may contribute to nursing homes' processes of healing.

Abstract
All nations are continuously learning how best to live with the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing organizational moral learning and Islamic spirituality perspectives, this paper proposes a learning framework called the whole-of-nation moral learning by spiritual hearts to understand the dynamics of learning and change in a nation tackling the pandemic. It proposes that to overcome the pandemic or any other crises, governance requires the combination of moral leadership and followership by spiritual hearts as agents for moral learning and change, supported by realigned and reconfigured systems for holistic growth. Brunei's journey in tackling the pandemic illustrates the framework.

Abstract
AIMS We examined the impact of COVID-19 regarding organizational and management issues at Israeli long-term care facilities. BACKGROUND Residents in facilities were very vulnerable to significant disease and mortality during COVID-19. METHODS A survey of 52 facilities in Israel was conducted in 2020, consisting of closed- and open-ended questions. Mixed methods were used to analyze data both quantitively and qualitatively. RESULTS Three main effects emerged: worsened financial status of long-term-care facilities resulting from high expenditures for preventive measures and reduced revenue due to deaths and fewer resident admissions; increased workload due to decreased workforce and additional duties; and negative mental health effects on staff because of increased workload and the conflict between maintaining good clinical practice and following COVID-19 regulations. CONCLUSION The development of government directives needs to take into account potential conflicts between the directives and quality care principles and to provide a balanced approach that assures humane care. Facilities and their staff lacked adequate pandemic-related guidance and support. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT The results highlight the need to address staff shortages and training, to provide more support and clearer guidance to facilities and their staff, and to devise a framework and strategies for future health crises.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to develop a conceptual model linking the relationship between individual learning, organizational learning and organizational commitment. A multi-layered conceptual model involving three dimensions of organizational commitment: normative, affective and continuance, and individual and organizational learning is presented.
Design/methodology/approach
The two well-known theories – organizational learning theory and organizational commitment theory – have been combined to systematically explain the importance of the interaction of variables benefitting both individuals and organizations. As learning involves change, a climate of organizational learning would foster connectivity of structure, people and process. At the same time, when an individual expands his learning and gets necessary skills, it is more likely they get connected to the organization and increase their level of commitment. In this study, the authors develop a conceptual model, and the authors apply this to the health-care industry and provide the results in the second paper.
Findings
The authors postulate that (i) individual learning will be positively related to organizational learning and continuance commitment; (ii) organizational learning will be positively related to continuance commitment; and (iii) organizational learning mediates the relationship between individual learning and continuance commitment. Furthermore, they also postulate that (i) normative commitment and affective commitment moderate the relationship between organizational learning and continuance commitment; and (ii) three-way interaction between organizational learning, normative commitment and affective commitment will strengthen continuance commitment of employees.
Research limitations/implications
The conceptual model can be applied to organizations from any industry. In the second part, the authors would test the model to the health-care industry and provide the results.
Practical implications
This study contributes to both practicing managers and the literature on organizational learning and organizational commitment. The study suggests that managers in work organizations need to promote a climate for enhancing learning so that employees remain committed to completing their job and contributing to organizational effectiveness. The results of this study highlight the importance of all three dimensions of organizational commitment: affective, normative and continuance.
Originality/value
This study provides new insights in understanding complex interactions between three dimensions of commitment in contributing to organizational performance. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the multilayered model showing three-way interactions between the three dimensions of organizational commitment is the first of its kind and is a novel idea.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study is to test the validity of the Organizational Learning in Hospitals model in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Background Organizational learning is especially crucial in circumstances of intense, complex, enduring change, as with the COVID‐19 pandemic. Nurse managers need additional guidance for fostering organizational learning under such circumstances. The Organizational Learning in Hospitals model may be a helpful resource but requires additional validation. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted to gather 19 nurses' first‐hand experiences of organizational learning during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Data were analysed using deductive thematic analysis. Results Nurses' experiences of organizational learning generally aligned with the tenets of the model. Specifically, effective organizational learning occurred when the contextual factors and mechanisms portrayed in the model converged. Model and contrary cases illustrate this phenomenon. Conclusions This study validates and adds context to the model. It offers practical examples of the contextual factors and mechanisms of organizational learning. Leaders can use the model to guide their efforts to foster organizational learning. Implications for Nursing Management This study reaffirms the importance of nurse leaders' central role in organizational learning. Nurse leaders can use the Organizational Learning in Hospitals model, and the practical examples provided, to foster organizational learning during challenging times.
