“…Since CIs in Rwanda are responsible for the preparation of future nurses in this country, it is important to understand how CIs' perceptions of the practice environment influence their ability to engage in their role, a role that impact students' professional development. If nurses perceive themselves as empowered in their jobs, they will be more confident in their skills and knowledge, be more engaged in their role, and experience increased job satisfaction (Ahmad & Oranye, 2010;Wang & Liu, 2013 (Gaberson & Oermann, 2010).…”

Clinical instructors (CIs) play a vital role in students' development by facilitating learning in various health care practice environments. Quality nursing education hinges on the CI's ability to enact his or her professional role. The purpose of this study was to explore Rwandan nursing clinical instructors' experiences of structural and psychological empowerment.A descriptive qualitative method was used to obtain an understanding of CIs empowerment experiences in practice settings. Kanter's (1993) Theory of Structural Power in Organizations and Spreitzer's (1995) Psychological Empowerment Theory were used as a theoretical framework to interpret their experiences. Interview data from 21 nursing CIs in Rwanda were used to complete a secondary data analysis for this study.Most study participants perceived the structural components of informal power, resources, and support while formal power and opportunity were limited, diminishing their sense of structural empowerment. Psychological empowerment for the CIs in Rwanda stemmed from a sense of competence, meaning, impact and self-determination they had for their teaching roles and responsibilities in the practice setting. Implications and recommendations for CIs and administration are suggested to support, recruit and retain clinical instructors.

“…Work engagement and a professional nursing practice environment have a positive correlation [15], and it is necessary to analyze the correlation between them at a unit level [16] [17]. Within the same workplace, it has been noted that the burnout of staff and managers shows a crossover reaction [18], and teamlevel burnout and work engagement are related to individual team members' burnout and work engagement [19].…”

Introduction: Mental conditions for work among workers are related to clinical performance and influenced by colleagues within the same workplace. The aim of study was to examine the work engagement and burnout of staff midwives working on maternity and labor wards and to determine the factors related to high work engagement of staff midwives, including their immediate superiors' work engagement and burnout. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was employed in Japan. Questionnaires were distributed to 452 midwives/nurses working on maternity and labor wards of 20 hospitals and responses from 96 staff midwives and 17 of their immediate superiors were analyzed. Work engagement and burnout (exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy) were assessed by the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, respectively. To examine the association of work engagement among staff midwives with their ages, marital status and work engagement and burnout of their superiors, logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: Immediate superiors showed significantly higher level of work engagement than staff midwives, while there was no difference in the burnout. High work engagement of staff midwives was significantly correlated with the professional efficacy (AOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.12 -3.33) and cynicism (AOR 2.01, 95% CI, 1.04 -3.90) of their immediate superiors. There was no correlation of work engagement between them. Conclusions: High work engagement of staff midwives was correlated to high professional efficacy and cynicism of their immediate superiors, suggesting that there might be crossover effects on mental conditions for work between staff midwives and their immediate superiors.

“…Nurses perform many different care and treatment activities with the primary aim of contributing to the promotion, stabilization and maintenance of their patients' health. Using a broad concept of health [1], understood as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, engagement becomes a fundamental variable for quality patient care [2,3,4].…”

1) Background: Aware that engagement in the healthcare field needs high levels of emotional intelligence, we began this study in to the relationship between engagement and emotional intelligence in nurses. The objective of this study was to determine the explanatory value of the components of emotional intelligence for engagement in a sample of nurses, and to identify which of the emotional intelligence components have the greatest explanatory value for dimensions of engagement, by sex.; 2) Methods: The final study sample was made up of 2126 working nursing professionals with a mean age of 31.66 (SD=6.66). To compile the data, an ad hoc questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic information, and to collect professional and employment information, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Reduced Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Adults.; 3) Results: The results show that nurses with higher levels of emotional intelligence also scored more highly in engagement, with the Interpersonal factor being the greatest predictor of engagement.; and 4) Conclusions: This study have significant practical implications for the creation of intervention programs and activities to improve the performance of nurses in the workplace.
