Objectives: This study aimed to translate and validate the Practice Environment Scale - Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) among nurses in Indonesia.
Methods: A scale translation and cross-sectional validation study was conducted. The English version was translated into Indonesian, which involved five steps: forward translation, compare the translation, backward translation, compare the translation, and pilot testing with a dichotomous scale (clear or unclear).
Objectives: As the world moves towards a new normal, challenges continue to emerge while simultaneously inspiring us with new solutions. Strengthening the skills of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) to fulfill a wide range of complex roles and responsibilities effectively necessitates refining core competency guidelines or standards. This study aimed to explore the perceived core competencies of Indonesian FLNMs within the context of the post-pandemic era.

Knowing the perceptions of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) regarding their managerial competence is an important step to resolve disparities between their perceived competence and the competencies required for them to effectively function in their roles. Yet, evidence examining managerial competence of FLNMs among public hospitals in Indonesia is sparse. To fill this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study aimed to identify managerial competence of FLNMs according to hospital type and ownership.

Aims: To compare first-line nurse managers' managerial competence according to generational analysis across public hospitals in Indonesia.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional survey in 18 public hospitals in Indonesia with 254 first-line nurse managers selected using simple random sampling.
This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the managerial competence scale for first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) in Indonesia. The scale was based on items derived from an integrative review and interviews with experts. A total of 300 FLNMs from 16 public hospitals were randomly selected for this test of psychometric properties.

Implementing a professional practice model is a highly complex organizational change that requires expert leadership to be successful. What are the aspects of successful leadership in implementing such a practice change, and how can those behaviors be transferred to other leaders? The authors describe qualitative research that examined this question by interviewing key leaders who are seen by peers as exemplifying the components and intent of one professional practice model. Using their responses to educate peers is seen as a method to expand their best practices.
