“…A previous review suggested that both career and educational pathways were non‐existent (Dwyer, ). Most FLMs reported having sufficient information to perform well in their work, but some experienced insufficient information from management, politicians and supportive systems, which is consistent with findings from other studies (Trus, Doran, Martinkenas, Asikainen, & Suominen, ). The FLMs reported lacking resources in the form of time, staff and finances, which is also in line with previous research (Hagerman et al, ; Kristiansen et al, ; Udod, Cummings, Care, & Jenkins, ).…”

Background:The work situation for first-line managers in elderly care is complex and challenging. Little is known about these managers' work situation from a structural and psychological empowerment perspective. Aim:To describe first-line managers' experiences of their work situation in elderly care from a structural and psychological empowerment perspective. Method:Interviews from 14 female first-line managers were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results:The theme described the managers' work situation as "It's not easy, but it's worth it." In the four subthemes, the managers described their work in terms of "Enjoying a meaningful job," "A complex and demanding responsibility that allows great authority within set boundaries," "Supported by other persons, organisational preconditions and confidence in their own abilities" and "Lacking organisational preconditions, but developing strategies for dealing with the situations." Conclusion: The managers described having various amounts of access to structural empowerment and experienced a feeling of meaning, competence, self-determination and impact, that is, psychological empowerment in their work. Implications for nursing management:It is vital that first-line managers have access to organisational support. Therefore, upper management and first-line managers need to engage in continuous dialogue to customize the support given to each firstline manager.

“…6 We consider data literacy to be a research subject located at the intersection of three sets of competences of formula based on the information literacy concept: quantitative reasoning, authentic context, and data/computer science. 7 Kjelvik and Schulthei 8 have assumed that a person who is data-literate (that is to say, able to understand and evaluate information acquired from authentic data, or facts), should have the ability to combine mathematical concepts with the context of an authentic problem that falls within his/her area of expertise and needs. IT skills, as a third component of data literacy, are intended to facilitate the process of analysis and synthesis of data by representing facts in a virtual form.…”

The purpose of this research is to measure the impact of data literacy on psychological empowerment in workplace for newly employed graduates. Since data play an increasingly important role in our lives, including the work environment, it incites research on whether data literacy skills, those related to collecting, processing, analyzing, and effectively communicating information retrieved from data models have a significant role in the psychological empowerment of alumni in the labor market. Statistical analysis methods were used to measure the correlation between indicators of data literacy and the psychological empowerment of alumni in their work. Competencies in using data models affect the self-efficacy of newly employed alumni at the workplace, mostly in terms of data-driven communication. The findings were discussed in the context of the increasing significance of the data librarian role as a possible method of supporting students and alumni via librarians who are now more involved in creating the educational outcomes of a given college or university.

“…The unit charge nurses (UCNs) responsible for managing services within the hospital units each play a significant role in creating a positive work environment, ensuring nurses' job satisfaction, maintaining safe and high-quality standards, and developing a PSC (5). It is necessary to develop UCNs' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and perceptions about patient safety.…”

This study aimed to examine the development of the perceptions of the psychological empowerment and patient safety culture among Turkish nurses by implementing a training-based empowerment program for unit charge nurses. Methods: A pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest test design was used. The sample consisted of (n = 38) unit charge nurses and (n = 174) staff nurses; the program included theoretical components, group work, and individual study assignments. Data was collected using the Demographic Data Sheet, Psychological Empowerment Scale and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture before, immediately after, and four months after the program. Data were analysed by percentages, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the Friedman analysis was used for the abnormally distributed data. The Cochran's Q test was used to analyze the number of events reported. Results: There was a statistically significant increase found in the results of the Psychological Empowerment Scale's scores on the competence and meaning subscales, the mean positive response to teamwork within the unit's composite of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (p < 0.05), and event reporting (p < 0.001). Conclusion:The results of this study suggest that creating a positive patient safety culture requires a review of the structures and processes of an organization. Creating, maintaining a desirable patient safety culture in health institutions is a long and hard process. The duration of future empowerment programs may be determined to allow for the long-term monitoring of their effects.
