Aim: To assess the relationship between paradoxical leadership and nurses' positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence in hospital settings through a strengths mindset as a mediator.
Design: A cross-sectional survey conducted from January to March 2024.
Methods: The study included 239 nurses from four hospitals in Port Said, Egypt. To measure the study constructs, three well-established scales were utilised: the Paradoxical Leadership Scale, the Strengths Mindset Scale and the Positive Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale. Structural equation modelling was applied for data analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between nurse managers' paradoxical leadership and nurses' positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence. Additionally, a strengths mindset partially mediated the relationship between paradoxical leadership and nurses' positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence.
Conclusion: The study findings suggest that developing paradoxical leadership behaviours-such as managing current work processes while simultaneously driving the exploration of new initiatives-among nurse managers can foster a strengths mindset in nurses, which in turn promotes a more positive attitude towards the integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
Implications For The Profession And/or Patient Care: This study enhances the understanding of how paradoxical leadership influences nurses' acceptance of artificial intelligence, underscoring the pivotal role of a strengths mindset in this process.
Impact: This study suggests that healthcare policymakers seeking smoother integration of artificial intelligence technologies among nurses should prioritise leadership development programmes that equip nurse managers with paradoxical leadership skills and implement training initiatives to strengthen nurses' mindsets.
Reporting Method: The study was reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

Solutions to healthcare's most persistent and pervasive challenges remain elusive because we approach them as navigating oppositional tensions: the need to drive efficiency versus improve quality, to leverage cutting-edge technology versus maintain human compassion, to address population health versus providing care to the patient in front of you. The key to transforming healthcare lies in the ability of healthcare leaders to recognize when oppositional tensions are in fact paradoxes at play, to increase the capability and collective capacity to navigate them. Paradox science contends sustainable solutions to intractable challenges come not from eliminating the tensions that operate within the complexity but from the ability of those involved to hold opposing ideas in productive balance.

Background: Physicians are planful beings, spending much time imagining and trying to design their ideal careers. Yet, despite actuarial expectations that physicians may spend almost two decades in retirement, it is paradoxical that little attention is generally given to designing an ideal retirement.
Methods: The coauthors are physicians in the latter parts of their careers who both teach leadership to physicians and have thought deeply about physician transitions, including retirement.

Research Question: We aimed to assess the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on 30-day postoperative complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for fibroids.
Design: Using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database (2012-2020), we analyzed major and minor 30-day postoperative complications, stratified by BMI, in patients with uterine fibroids who underwent MIH. Complications were stratified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
