Aims: To understand nurse leader and manager perspectives on employee engagement and their own role to foster engagement. To examine differences between managers of units with high versus low engagement.
Background: Health systems recognize the impact of employee engagement, yet alignment of leader and frontline-manager perspectives remains unclear.
Methods: A qualitative study at the Veteran Affairs New England Healthcare System. Leaders at five facilities (N = 13) and managers of units with high and low nurse engagement (N = 31) were interviewed.
Results: Nurse leaders almost universally conceptualized staff engagement as involvement in quality improvement service, while managers defined engagement as either commitment to excellence in direct patient care or involvement in quality improvement efforts. Intra- and interprofessional attitude contagion, and organisational factors of staffing-time-workload and senior leadership support were most common to support or detract from nurse engagement. A variety of strategies were identified, including protecting nurses as people and professionals. Differences in perceived roles and constraints to engaging nurse staff exist between managers of units with high versus low engagement.
Conclusion: Nurse managers and leaders perceive engagement differently; strategies exist to facilitate engagement.
Implications For Nursing Management: Leader and manager partnerships are needed to provide clarity on and resources for engagement.

Traditional testing methods in the Middle East Region, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), particularly the testing of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), influenza, group A streptococcus (GAS), and COVID-19 have the potential to be upgraded to new and advanced diagnostics methods that improve lead time to diagnosis, consumption of healthcare resources and patient experience. In addition, based on the research, it was reported that there is an underreporting of respiratory cases, overuse of antibiotics, and prolonged hospitalizations which is posing pressure on UAE healthcare stakeholders. A literature review was done exploring UAE's current diagnostic practices, recommended guidelines, diagnostic gaps, and challenges in RSV, GAS, Influenza, and COVID-19.
