Purpose: This study aims to examine the adaptive leadership of doctors during COVID-19 to understand the leadership competencies required for adaptive events.
Design/methodology/approach: Phenomenology-based qualitative design was used. Data were collected from six doctors from the state of Kerala, India using semi-structured interviews.
Findings: Five themes were identified. The first theme, core leadership shows that doctors perceive leaders as educators, learners and social beings. The second theme, adaptive challenges, describes the ambiguous pandemic-related challenges that doctors are facing including, unusual occupational demands, information overload, sociocultural issues and personal intricacies. The third theme reflects that for doctors, adaptive work during the pandemic included - new learning to address unique issues, changing perspectives and establishing and maintaining a safe and engaging workplace environment. The fourth theme describes the adaptive leadership competencies such as regulating distress, providing direction, maintaining disciplined action, fostering collaboration, empowering, understanding organizational linkages, strategic vision and communication skills. The fifth theme elucidates the lacunae in leadership training as perceived by the doctors.
Research Limitations/implications: The findings can help in developing and enhancing competency frameworks for doctors' adaptive leadership.
Originality/value: This is one of the earliest studies to systematically examine components of adaptive leadership for doctors during COVID-19 and identify associated competencies.

Building upon the core elements of antifungal stewardship: practical recommendations for effective antifungal stewardship in resource-limited settings.
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther

Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA.
Introduction: Despite the crucial importance of effective AFS in resource-limited settings, such settings remain comparatively underserved and underrepresented in terms of resource-setting-specific guidance and research. Further practical contextualization and application of current AFS best practices is thus necessary.
Areas Covered: A panel of leading experts from diverse countries (India, Nigeria, Spain, and the US) was brought together to provide recommendations for practical and effective implementation of AFS in resource-limited settings.
Paradoxical effect of flipped classroom on nursing students' learning ability and satisfaction in a fundamental of nursing clinical course: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: The "Fundamentals of Nursing" course is crucial for equipping novice undergraduate nursing students with essential skills for their professional practice. However, a gap exists between nursing education and clinical readiness-a challenge exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and issues like absenteeism in clinical sessions. The flipped classroom has been proposed as an innovative strategy to bridge this gap, offering students opportunities for self-paced learning before class and enabling more active, hands-on practice during lab sessions.

Background: Nurse faculty play a critical role in shaping the clinical experience of student nurses through their support and guidance during clinical placements. However, despite this evidence, the mechanism by which nurse faculty support contributes to effective clinical adjustment in students remains unexplored.
Purpose: This study examined the intermediary role of psychological resilience in the relationship between nurse faculty support and clinical adjustment among student nurses.
Could adaptive deep brain stimulation treat freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease?
J Neurol

Centre for Neurology, Department of Neurodegenerative Diseases, and Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, University of Tübingen, Hoppe-Seyler-Str. 3, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.
Next-generation neurostimulators capable of running closed-loop adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) are about to enter the clinical landscape for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Already promising results using aDBS have been achieved for symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity and motor fluctuations. However, the heterogeneity of freezing of gait (FoG) with its wide range of clinical presentations and its exacerbation with cognitive and emotional load make it more difficult to predict and treat.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: To strengthen holistic health care delivery, influential interprofessional (IP) leadership skills are crucial for nurse practitioners (NPs) working within typical disease-focused practice settings. To build competencies, an IP leadership learning protocol (ILLP) was developed using an evidence-informed conflict resolution self-study and patient-care video conference (PCVC) for family NP students, which was later adapted for psychiatric mental health (PMH) NP students and measured effectiveness.
Method: Flipped-classroom initial self-study of IP leadership strategies and relevant clinical considerations culminated in applying this learning within the PCVC by role-playing deliberately contrived adversarial IP roles with a faculty facilitator intermittently designating students to act as the IP leader.
