The title of the article is “Transformational leadership and contextual performance: A quantitative study among nursing staff in kuala lumpur.”

It was published in 2018.

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)

 

What is the association between nurse staffing levels, skill mix, and the quality and quantity of daytime interactions with patients in hospital wards? How can understaffing amongst nurses in hospitals affect patient safety? What is the longitudinal association between nurse staffing and patient outcomes? What influence does transformational leadership have on employee’s contextual performance in the nursing sector in Kuala Lumpur?
Purposes/Aim of the Study To examine the relationship between nurse staffing levels, skill mix and the quality and quantity of daytime interactions with patients in hospital wards The aim is to increase the knowledge of understaffing of hospital nurses, and the consequences that understaffing may have on patient safety To explore longitudinal association that exists between nurse staffing and patient outcome To fill the gap that exists by determining the influence of intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, and idealized influence have on contextual performance.
Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)

 

This is a quantitative study that used an observational study. This is a quantitative study that used thematic analysis. This is a quantitative study that used a longitudinal study This is a quantitative study.
Setting/Sample

 

Six wards at two English National Health Service hospitals a literature search of the databases Chinal, Medline, Cochrane library, Isi Web of Science and Academic Search premiere was undertaken Quarterly unit-level nursing data from 2004-2012 from the NDNQL Healthcare setting in Kuala Lumpur
Methods: Intervention/Instruments

 

Secondary analysis of observational data Literature review Used 2004-2012 data obtained from NDNQL Self-administered questionnaires
Analysis

 

Data were analyzed from 119-2 hour sessions in which care of 270 patients was observed Thematic analysis was used. A grouped mechanism was developed in the analysis Descriptive and inferential statics was used for the analysis of data.
Key Findings

 

Low registered nurse staffing levels results in poorer quality interactions between patients and staff

 

Low nursing staffing results in a wider negative effect with adverse consequences for patient experience and quality of care.

The nursing shortage affects patient safety negatively directly and indirectly

 

 

Changes in nurse staffing are associated with changes in rates of falls and pressure ulcers

 

Seasonal nursing shortage contributes to seasonality in patient outcomes

Nurse leaders should adopt a transformational leadership style to influence and motivate nurses in managing stress, adapting changes and working towards organizational vision and goals

 

Leaders with individualized consideration can improve the performance of nurses

Recommendations

 

Policies and practices should focus on improving the retention and supply of registered nurses Further research is required on the topic as articles in this study mentioned a lack of research, most especially in Nordic countries More research is needed to study the underlying mechanisms of associations between nurse staffing and patient outcomes Further research should include factors such as culture, age differences, ethnic differences, and religiosity. This will provide a better understanding of the factors that impact transformational leadership and performance.

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)

 

What are the association of nursing staff, nurse skill mix, and nurse work environment with patient outcomes? What is the Iranian nurses’ perceptions of the key constituent of the nursing practice environment How do nurse managers describe nurses in different work arrangements? What are the levels of staffing on wards associated with reported outcomes?
Purposes/Aim of the Study

To ascertain the relationship between nursing staff, nurse skill mix and nurse work environment with patient outcomes To examine the perception of Iranian nurses on key constituents of the nursing practice environment To understand how nurse managers describe nurses in alternative work arrangements To examine the safe staffing levels in general wards.
Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)

 

This is a qualitative study that used a cross-sectional dataset. This is a qualitative study that used qualitative design. This is a qualitative study that used exploratory study. This is a qualitative study.
Setting/Sample

 

Healthcare setting in Chile Twelve staff nurses, supervisors, and head nurses from different wards of five teaching hospitals 26 baccalaureate‐pre‐pared nurse managers located across the United States MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and other databases
Methods: Intervention/Instruments

 

Same protocols and measures used in RN4CAST A qualitative design with a conventional content analysis approach Semi-structured interviews Used MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and other databases
Analysis

 

The cross-sectional dataset was used for looking at some staffing and work environment measures, patient outcomes and hospital outcomes Data analysis was undertaken using MAXQDA Software with a conventional qualitative content analysis method. The constant comparative method was used for the analysis of the data collection phase. The studies selected were from the UK that estimates the associations between nurse staffing levels on general wards and any quality or outcome measures
Key Findings

 

The nursing work environment is the hospital property Practice environment plays a vital role in attracting and retaining skilled and experienced human resource

 

 

Nurses share common work identities, appreciate each others’ personalities and foster workplace relationships Lower nurse staffing levels are associated with worse outcomes in general acute wards or patient groups
Recommendations

 

Adjusting severity at the patient level can ensure that variation between hospitals can be explained by nursing factors. There is a need to undertake this research in a different practice environment and context as the results may be different. There is a need for further study which should seek to explore alternative work arrangement’s impact on nurse career. There is a need to have the required levels of HCA staffing to better analyze the problem.
