“…Whatever the cause, the FLMs' perceived stress symptoms need to be decreased, as stress has been found to negatively affect decision-making, increase the risk of errors and affect leadership behaviors among nurse managers (Shirey, Ebright, & McDaniel, 2013). Results of the FLMs' self-rated leadership-management performance were relatively high and similar to those reported by Abdelrazek et al (2010). Good skills in this area are an advantage for the FLMs themselves, for their employees and especially for clients.…”

“…Both FLMs and subordinates have described a need for managers to be more visible to their staff on a daily basis (Hagerman, Engstrom, Haggstrom, Wadensten, & Skytt, 2015), which in turn could give openings for support and information to the staff. As for the outcomes studied here, the FLMs in the present study rated their level of stress symptoms as moderate, which indicates lower stress symptoms than have been found in previous studies in hospitals (Kath et al, 2012) and in the care of older adults (Abdelrazek et al, 2010). However, the finding that structural empowerment and psychological empowerment could explain only 16% of the variance in stress symptoms was surprising.…”

“…However, most studies investigate these relationships among nurses (Guo et al, 2015), rather than from the perspective of managers. For managers, previous research describes that structural and psychological empowerment has been associated with positive outcomes in leadership styles and increased self-confidence in the role (Macphee, Skelton-Green, Bouthillette, & Suryaprakash, 2012), and is linked to leadership-management performance (Abdelrazek et al, 2010). Furthermore, structural empowerment has been associated with perceptions of self-efficacy (Laschinger & Shamian, 1994), which is important for a sense of confidence in managerial leadership.…”

Effective nursing leadership of older persons in the community -a systematic reviewAim The aim of this systematic review was to increase the knowledge of developing effective nursing leadership and management in order to improve the outcomes of older persons in the community. Background There is a need for increased knowledge of nursing leadership and management in order to improve the outcomes of older persons in the community. Evaluation A review of the literature published in different databases between January 2000 and May 2012 was conducted. Eleven articles met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated by means of thematic content analysis. Key aspects Six themes were identified: Ability to change the attitudes towards older persons; Building trust; Ensuring efficacy in management decisions; Lack of knowledge about how to overcome relational challenges; Health system collaboration to achieve goals and visions; and Staff members' experiences of the meaning of and possibility to influence their work, all of which are of importance for effective nursing leadership and management in the care of older persons. Conclusion Advanced nursing knowledge is necessary in order to improve the work and vision involved in nursing leadership and management. Implications for nursing management Findings indicate that relational and organisational abilities are necessary components of effective nursing leadership and management.

“…These studies can be divided into two categories: the first category included studies focusing on the leader’s own opinion of her/his skills, orientation, job satisfaction or role and style of management in the context of long-term care [57-64]. These articles described for instance different leadership styles or roles in managers’ work.…”

BackgroundElderly care practice and its management together with policy and research play a crucial role in responding to increasing challenges in institutional care for elderly people. Successful dialogue between these is necessary. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to compare how institutional elderly care management research meets the care challenges currently emphasized in international long-term care policy documents.MethodsThis paper was based on a systematic literature review. After screening 1971 abstracts using inclusion/exclusion criteria, 58 refereed articles published between 2000 and 2010 remained for analysis. The articles were analyzed using theory-based content analysis by comparing the results to the framework based on analysis of international long-term care management policy documents.ResultsThe current challenges of long-term care management identified from policy documents were Integrated Care Management, Productivity Management, Quality Management, Workforce Management and ICT Management. The research on institutional elderly care management responded somewhat to the challenges mentioned in policy documents. However, some of the challenges were studied broadly and some were paid only minor attention. Further, only few studies focused on the core items of challenges addressed in policy documents.ConclusionsInstitutional care management research needs to focus more on challenges in integrated care, productivity, ICT and division of labor. Managers, researchers and policy-makers should assume more active collaborative roles in processes of research, policymaking and policy implementation. In addition managers’ and policymakers’ scientific literacy needs to be enhanced.
