“…Studies were carried out in the United States ( n = 2), Australia ( n = 1), Canada and the United States ( n = 1), Denmark ( n = 1), Egypt (n = 1), Iceland ( n = 1), Iran ( n = 1), Israel ( n = 1), Jordan ( n = 1), South Africa ( n = 1) and Spain ( n = 1). In eight studies, the majority of participants were female; in three studies, gender was not mentioned (Jónsdóttir et al, 2022; Kagan et al, 2021; Losty and Bailey, 2021), and in one study, the majority of participants were male (Deldar et al, 2021). Concerning methodology; nine (75%) studies were qualitative, two (16.67%) studies were quantitative (Gab Allah, 2021; Middleton et al, 2021) and one (8.33%) was a mixed-methods study (Kagan et al, 2021).…”

“…The literature identified that nurse managers experienced several pressures and stressors due to the unprecedented context of the pandemic (Abu Mansour and Abu Shosha, 2021; Deldar et al, 2021; Gab Allah, 2021; Jackson and Nowell, 2021). Nurse managers’ roles have been expanded or completely changed by the pandemic (Jackson and Nowell, 2021; Kagan et al, 2021; Moyo et al, 2022; Vázquez-Calatayud et al, 2022; White, 2021).…”

“…Studies included in this review identified nurse managers’ coping measures and resilience methods. The literature reported how nurse managers acted to compensate for the lack of materials and shortages of human resources (Abu Mansour and Abu Shosha, 2021; Deldar et al, 2021; Holge-Hazelton et al, 2021; Vázquez-Calatayud et al, 2022). Nurse managers relied on evidence, creativity (Jackson and Nowell, 2021), decision-making abilities, planning skills and autonomy to maintain the quality of care (Jónsdóttir et al, 2022) and ensure staff safety (Vázquez-Calatayud et al, 2022).…”

Background: Nurses have crucial roles in caring for patients and preventing the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, nurse managers have a prominent role during the pandemic, being responsible for the support and training of the nursing team to ensure quality care. While performing their duties in this time of fear and uncertainty, nurse managers face several challenges. Aim: To identify the challenges faced by nurse managers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: It is an integrative literature review whose search for articles was carried out in Medline, PubMed and Scopus. Qualitative content analysis was used. Results: Twelve primary research studies were included. Four themes emerged: (1) Workplace demands, (2) Impacts on physical and psychological health, (3) Coping measures and resilience and (4) Recommendations to better support nurse managers in times of crisis. Nurse managers had their roles expanded or completely changed, and they experienced many pressures and stressors in the workplace. Nurse managers also faced physical and psychological health problems. Nurse managers drew on experience; management skills; social media applications; support from family, colleagues and hospital administrators; training, and continuing education to solve the problems that emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations should use collaborative, inclusive and participatory practices for better crisis management. Conclusions: Knowing the experiences of nurse managers during the pandemic period may help health institutions and policymakers better prepare for emergencies.

Nursing managers' experiences of facing the COVID‐19 pandemic in their work: A systematic review

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aim There is far little evidence available on nursing managers' experiences during this global crisis. This systematic review aimed to provide the first comprehensive summary of the findings of published studies describing data concerning nursing managers' experiences of the COVID‐19 outbreak. Design Studies published between January 2019 and the end of December 2021 were retrieved from CINAHL, Medline and PubMed databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement was used to guide the search methodology. Methods In total, 14 relevant articles were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools and subjected to thematic content analysis. Results Our findings revealed five main themes describing nursing managers' experiences: an expanding and changing role, ensuring the well‐being of staff, communication, support received, development and learning. Nursing managers found the task of operational management confusing, as objectives have been constantly changing as the pandemic has progressed. The results should be used in preparation for future crises similar to the COVID‐19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, teachers who are accustomed to teaching and preparing lessons through traditional ways have been forced to move the workplace from school to home and to shift their traditional working method to telecommuting. To understand how teachers are affected by the mandatory telecommuting, this study examined the association between telecommuting and teacher burnout and investigated the mediating role of harmonious passion and the moderating role of housing size in this relationship. Using data from 168 teachers, we tested our model and found that the extent of mandatory telecommuting not only has a direct positive effect on teachers’ burnout but also positively affects burnout by decreasing their harmonious passion for work. Housing size, the physical work environment during the quarantine lockdown, moderates this indirect effect. Future research can be carried out from perspectives of considering cross-cultural contexts, exploring different moderators, such as other physical conditions or individuals’ subjective feelings engendered by the pandemic situation, and investigating the impact of teachers’ telecommuting on students’ individual outcomes. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
