Impact of Collaborative Leadership, Workplace Social Capital, and Interprofessional Collaboration Practice on Patient Safety Climate.

Purpose: Patient safety climate is an important factor in promoting patient safety for healthcare organizations. This study investigated the relationship between collaborative leadership and patient safety climate, the mediation effect of workplace social capital, or interprofessional collaboration practice.

Methods: A web-based cross-sectional questionnaire survey was administered between May 2021 and May 2022, to employees of three acute care hospitals in Japan.

Relationship between shift assignments, organizational justice, and turnover intention: A cross-sectional survey of Japanese shift-work nurses in hospitals.

Aim: Shift management and planning processes for shift-working nurses are important for their continued work. This study aimed to determine the association between shift assignments, organizational justice, and their interaction with turnover intention among shift-work nurses.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used an online questionnaire administered to Japanese nurses between January and February 2020.

Interprofessional Team Collaboration as a Mediator Between Workplace Social Capital and Patient Safety Climate: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Objectives: Patient-safety climate is one of the most important organizational factors contributing to health care quality. We hypothesized that a patient safety climate is fostered by the willingness to collaborate and trust among members as well as by daily collaborative practices. This study aimed to clarify the effect of workplace social capital on patient safety climate.

Workplace social capital mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and three dimensions of organizational commitment of hospital nurses: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of workplace social capital on the relationship between authentic leadership and the three dimensions of organizational commitment: affective, normative, and continuance.

Methods: In January 2019, anonymous self-reported questionnaires were distributed to 1220 nurses working in the general wards of two university hospitals in Japan. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating effects of workplace social capital on the relationship between nurse managers' authentic leadership and the three dimensions of organizational commitment.

Key strategies for managing nursing care under the COVID-19 pandemic: A multiple-case study of nursing directors.

Aim: We aim to identify measures implemented by hospital nursing directors early in the COVID-19 pandemic and enabling factors.

Background: Managerial factors affect nurses' physical and mental health and willingness to work, especially early in a pandemic.

Method: We used multiple-case study of 15 hospitals, comparing management approaches by interviewing 28 nursing directors and their assistants from August to December 2020.

Nursing management for temporary lodging facilities in Japan in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic: A multiple-case study.

Aim: Temporary lodging facilities which were non-medical facilities were established to secure beds for severely and moderately ill patients with COVID-19, as well as for isolation, non-contact observation, and care of mildly ill and asymptomatic patients in Japan. This study aims to understand nursing management practices adopted in these facilities by examining cases of their establishment and operation.

Methods: A multiple-case study design was used.

Perceived impact of nurse turnover on the organization: A Delphi study on managers of nursing.

Aims: The study aimed to identify the aspects and items of nurse turnover impact on organizations as perceived by nursing management.

Background: Turnover rate does not capture the extent to which an organization is affected by turnover. Another indicator is required to assess the control status of turnover impact.

Work-related communication mediates the relationship between perceived diversity climate and psychological empowerment among part-time nurses: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: This study investigates which work-related communication mediates the relationship between diversity climate and psychological empowerment among part-time nurses.

Background: Part-time nurses' high psychological empowerment is desirable because it may lead to high quality nursing practice.

Methods: Anonymous self-report questionnaires or web-based surveys were used to measure diversity climate (Climate for Inclusion Scale), psychological empowerment (Japanese version of the Psychological Empowerment Scale) and work-related communication (scale developed in this study).

The association between burnout and multiple roles at work and in the family among female Japanese nurses: a cross-sectional study.

Female nurses experience work-family conflict due to performing multiple roles, leading to burnout. Thus, this study aimed to verify the association between burnout and the multiple work and family roles performed among Japanese female nurses. The data for 2,255 nurses at 23 Japanese hospitals obtained from the Work Environment for Nurses Study in Japan were used.

Working Conditions and Fatigue in Japanese Shift Work Nurses: A Cross-sectional Survey.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the working conditions (working hours, overtime work, number of night shifts, number of holidays, and work intervals) associated with fatigue, based on the shift patterns, and determine their thresholds.

Methods: From January to February 2020, a web-based questionnaire was sent to 4601 shift work nurses at 47 hospitals in Japan. The multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to predict high- and low-fatigue groups by working conditions, and receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to clarify the high-fatigue thresholds by shift pattern.

Exploring nurses' clinical reasons for bed transfers in acute care wards: An observational study.

Aims: To investigate the number of bed transfers (patient transfers within the same ward) and their reasons in acute care wards of mid-sized hospitals with multibed and private rooms.

Background: Bed transfers, even when necessary, are burdensome for patients; however, the reasons for bed transfers in various types of rooms remain unclear.

Methods: An observational study was conducted in seven wards in three hospitals in Japan.

The influence of learning circumstances and on-the-job opportunities for professional growth on perceived person-environment fit among hospital nurses: A longitudinal study.

Aims: The study aimed to determine the influence of learning circumstances (learning inside and outside hospitals, and communication about the nursing practice with colleagues) and on-the-job opportunities for professional growth on each dimension of person-environment fit (needs-supplies, demands-abilities, person-organisation and person-group fit) among nurses.

Background: It is desirable for each dimension of person-environment fit to be high, as it links to many work-related outcomes.

Methods: A longitudinal survey using a questionnaire was conducted in February 2019 (Time 1) and October 2019 (Time 2).

The association between workplace social capital and authentic leadership, structural empowerment and forms of communication as antecedent factors in hospital nurses: A cross-sectional multilevel approach.

Aim: To identify the effects of authentic leadership, structural empowerment and forms of communication as antecedent factors of workplace social capital in nursing.

Background: Enhancing workplace social capital for nurses by management requires identifying antecedent factors of workplace social capital focusing on work environment and relationships between members.

Methods: In 2019, self-administered questionnaires were sent to all nurses working on the general wards of two university hospitals in Japan.
