“…However, they tended to use integrating, followed by compromising styles to manage conflict while using dominating styles less. This result is similar to what many studies have found, which is that the integrating style of conflict management is the most common in the nursing profession, whereas the dominating and avoiding styles are the least common (Abou Hashish et al, 2015; Alnajjar & Abou Hashish, 2022; Chan et al, 2014). Also, Özkan Tuncay et al (2018) found that nurse managers preferred an integrating style, followed by compromising, avoiding, competing, and accommodating.…”

BackgroundHaving robust power sources and employing effective influence tactics are essential leadership skills for nurse managers in managing human resources, providing quality care, and managing workplace conflict among nurses.AimsThe present study aimed to investigate how bedside nurses perceived their nurse managers' power bases, influence tactics, and conflict management styles. Furthermore, the study investigated the relationship among power bases, influence tactics, and conflict management styles.MethodsA descriptive correlational study was conducted at the inpatient care unit of a Saudi hospital. A convenient sample of n = 230 nurses completed the Power Base scale, Influence Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ‐R), and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory‐II (ROCI‐II).ResultsNurses believed their managers were most likely to use referent, legitimate, and expert sources to exercise their power; appreciation and consultation tactics to influence others; and an integrative style to manage conflict. Significant positive correlations were found between the perceived overall power bases and each of the influence behaviors and conflict management styles (r = .466, r = .383, p < .05, respectively). The values of the regression coefficient of power bases significantly contribute to the prediction of 67.8% and 42.2% of the explained variance of influence behaviors and conflict management styles, respectively. In addition, influence behaviors can play a mediating role in this prediction.Linking Evidence to ActionNurse managers should be able to demonstrate the benefit of controlling a wide range of power bases and know how to use influence behaviors and conflict management styles skillfully in each situation to achieve desired goals.

“…For nursing students to succeed in the ever-changing field of health care, they need a wide range of managerial and leadership skills and behaviors. Aside from these requirements, they should be able to work well with other healthcare team members and be capable of facilitating change while also exercising critical thinking and decision-making skills (Abou Hashish & Bajbeir, 2018; Alnajjar and Abou Hashish, 2022). Additionally, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2011) recommended clinical simulation/training as a helpful tool for students aspiring to leadership positions in the field of nursing.…”

Introduction Enhancing nursing students’ professional knowledge and integrating simulation and clinical training into students’ education may affect their career planning and development. Objectives This study aimed to explore how managerial and leadership training and simulation affect career planning knowledge, career choice, and self-efficacy among senior nursing students. Additionally, it explored how students perceived the training they received. Methods This study employed a mixed methods design for collecting quantitative and qualitative data about the training. A quasi-experimental design using a pretest and posttest with a convenience sample of senior nursing students ( N = 80) at a Saudi nursing college guided the quantitative part. Nursing students were introduced to a managerial and leadership training and simulation intervention focused on career knowledge. The career planning questionnaire and a self-efficacy scale were used to collect quantitative data before and after the intervention, and the open-ended questions were used for qualitative data about the training they received. For the quantitative data, we used descriptive and inferential statistics, and for the qualitative data, we used content analysis. Results After the training sessions, nursing students’ career planning knowledge and self-efficacy scores were considerably enhanced, with a significant difference and positive associations ( p < .001). Four themes were driven from the qualitative analysis: student engagement, experiential learning and reflection, the teacher's role as facilitator, and teamwork. Conclusions Knowledge and preparedness are essential elements for career planning and development. Nursing curricula should provide students with ongoing educational opportunities to help them enhance their career planning and self-efficacy. As well, nurse managers play an important role in shaping the career paths of senior undergraduates and internship nurses. Career counseling sessions and career activities can be scheduled frequently before graduation and during the internship year, which is essential for prelicensure and orientation.

“…However, Mohammadi and Mahdian found an inverse relationship between resilience and dominating style (2). In a 2022 study, Alnajjar and Abou Hashish demonstrated that nursing students' most favored conflict management style was the integrating style, and the least favored one was the dominating style (36). In the dominating style, one party focuses only on its desires and pays less attention to the other party's interests and wishes (37).…”

Background: The numerous pre-hospital emergency medicine operational staff interactions with different people cause many conflicts. In addition to affecting their physical and mental health, these conflicts lead to severe problems for the health of society and patients. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between resilience and conflict management styles from the perspective of pre-hospital emergency medicine operational staff of the Medical Emergency and Accident Management Center in Golestan Province in 2022. Methods: This descriptive correlational study recruited 200 operational staff working in the pre-hospital emergency center in Golestan Province. They were selected using a stratified sampling method with proportional allocation. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II). Results: Pearson correlation results demonstrated a direct and significant relationship between resilience and conflict management styles (P = 0.011, r = 0.180); the resilience score increased with an increase in the score of conflict management styles. In addition, resilience was directly associated with compromising (P = 0.012, r = 0.178) and integrating styles (P = 0.001, r = 0.276). Finally, a direct and significant relationship existed between job interest and resilience (P = 0.01). The linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between the resilience score and the score of conflict management styles (β = 0.17). Conclusions: Resilience can improve the conflict management styles of pre-hospital emergency medicine operational staff. Moreover, job interest can enhance resilience, indirectly affecting conflict management. Pre-hospital emergency managers and officials should hold resilience training courses for pre-hospital emergency operatives.
