“…The study results indicated no significant difference in the total scores of nurses’ clinical competence before and during the COVID-19 epidemic and nurses received moderate clinical competence in both situations. Ahmadi et al (2022) supported our results and reported nurses’ moderate clinical competence in the COVID-19 wards [ 21 ], but Alan et al (2022) in Turkey found that nurses’ professional competences in the COVID-19 wards were above the average level [ 39 ]. Different results may be due to the different research settings, hospital conditions, nurses’ working conditions in the wards, and managers’ supports from nurses in different dimensions during the epidemic.…”

Background Clinical competency is the ability to integrate knowledge, skills, attitudes and values into a clinical situation and it is very important in nursing education, clinical settings, nursing management, and crises. This study aimed to investigate nurses’ professional competence and its correlates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We conducted this cross-sectional study before and during the COVID-19 outbreak and recruited all nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences, southern Iran, so we included 260 and 246 nurses in the study before and during the COVID-19 epidemic, respectively. Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN) was used to collect data. After inputting the data into SPSS24, we analysed them using descriptive statistics, chi-square and multivariate logistic tests. A significant level of 0.05 was considered. Results The mean clinical competency scores of nurses were 156.97 ± 31.40 and 161.97 ± 31.36 before and during the COVID-19 epidemic, respectively. The total clinical competency score before the COVID-19 epidemic was not significantly different from that during the COVID-19 epidemic. Interpersonal relationships (p = 0.03) and desire for research/critical thinking (p = 0.01) were significantly lower before the COVID-19 outbreak than during the COVID-19 outbreak. Only shift type had an association with clinical competency before the COVID-19 outbreak, while work experience had an association with clinical competency during the COVID-19 epidemic. Conclusion The clinical competency among nurses was moderate before and during the COVID-19 epidemic. Paying attention to the clinical competence of nurses can improve the care conditions of patients, and nursing managers should improve the clinical competence of nurses in different situations and crises. Therefore, we suggest further studies identifying factors improving the professional competency among nurses.

“…(2022) recently reported low to moderate levels of resilience among healthcare workers in United Arab Emirates during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic which is consistent with this study. Our study results also concur with the findings from previous research conducted elsewhere using CD‐RISC 25‐items such as studies conducted in Australia (Guo et al., 2019) and Turkey (Alan et al., 2022).…”

“…There is currently a lack of disaster preparedness training for healthcare staff in the United Kingdom. Therefore, considering training that includes professional competencies and psychological preparedness (Alan et al., 2022) would have the benefits in enhancing nurses' capabilities and resilience to respond effectively to future disasters and reduce the risk of burnout. Nurse educators and managers should take a leadership role in developing and planning disaster preparedness training for nurses to enhance their capabilities and resilience in responding to future disasters and reduce the risk of burnout.…”

AimsTo examine the level of resilience and burnout among British nurses during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic and the influence of personal, social and organisational factors on nurses' resilience and burnout.BackgroundNurses experienced excessive workload and emotional demands over a prolonged period during the COVID‐19 pandemic which may have led to exhaustion. Little research has examined the correlation between the pandemic variables, nurses' resilience and burnout during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic.DesignThis study utilised a descriptive, cross‐sectional research design.MethodsA cross‐sectional and self‐report survey involved 111 staff nurses, who completed a self‐administrated questionnaire between January and April 2021. A STORBE checklist was used to report the study results.FindingsThe study found that nurses experienced a high level of burnout and low to moderate levels of resilience. The study revealed significant negative relationships between the level of burnout and perceived organisational support and nurses' resilience. The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on nurses' social roles and their worries about patient safety were positively correlated with burnout. The perceived organisational support, the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on nurses' social roles and the level of resilience were significant factors for burnout.ConclusionsNurses experienced a high level of burnout during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic, which may be influenced by how they felt their organisations supported them. Nurses' feelings that the pandemic affected their social roles were associated with increasing their burnout.Relevance to Clinical PracticeStrategies should be developed to address staff burnout and resilience. Nurse managers and educators should play leadership roles in creating professional training to include competencies and psychological preparedness for disasters and to implement strategies to increase the organisational commitments to staff safety and well‐being.

“…Studies suggest that working in a management role fosters resilience because the nurses in these positions have better life-work balance compared to bedside nurses [51]. Furthermore, organizational support [52], disaster experiences [53] and coping with the stressors in nurse managers' roles helps to build resilience [54]. Dealing with competing priorities also has a positive effect on nurse managers' resilience [55].…”

Transformational leadership and predictors of resilience among registered nurses: a cross-sectional survey in an underserved area

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background High resilience increases nurses' ability to cope with job-related stressors and enhances job satisfaction and, consequently, their retention. The study aims to identify resilience predictors and perceptions of transformational leadership in a convenience sample of registered nurses in Lebanon. Methods An anonymous cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 240 registered nurses working for more than a year at three private hospitals in an underserved area in South Lebanon was used. The survey instrument included demographic questions, the True Resilience Scale ©, and the Global Transformational Leadership Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the predictors of resilience after a descriptive analysis of the study variables. Results The survey response rate was 85%. The nurses' mean resilience score was 119.4 (SD 15.3), and their perception of transformational leadership score was M = 25.0, SD = 6.8. Compared to bedside nurses, nurse managers, nurses with more than five years of experience, and nurses in critical nursing units had statistically significant higher resilience scores (p < 0.05). Resilience scores and perception of global transformational leadership were moderately correlated (r = 0.53, p < 0.05). In the final multiple linear regression model, 30% of the variation in resilience scores was explained by designation (p < 0.05) and perception of Global Transformational Leadership (p < 0.01). Perception of global transformational leadership scores explained 29% of the variance in resilience scores. Designation and perception of global transformational leadership predicted resilience in this sample. Conclusions A national survey of the Lebanese nursing workforce is needed to achieve an improved predictive model and support policy developments to increase resilience among bedside nurses and retain them in the nursing workforce. Nurse administrators can help by strengthening their transformational leadership behaviors. Consistent use of transformational leadership styles will strengthen bedside nurses' resilience, increase nurse retention, and help sustain the Lebanese nursing workforce.
