dc.description.abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic being experienced by people recently is a significant risk to public health worldwide. As a result, a concerted international effort is required to get healthcare systems ready for this unprecedented task. Nurses' output and level of care may both rise with good human resource management. This study will look at the viewpoints of nurse supervisors to help comprehend how they managed the nursing staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. The literature hasn't given much thought to nursing supervisors' perspectives during the COVID-19 epidemic. What front-line nurses have experienced is widely recognized. The very first exploratory approach on the experiences and viewpoints of B and C medical college and hospital nurse supervisors that was reported in Nepal focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. Worldwide, the pandemic has posed problems for the provision of healthcare, and many nations have shown a lack of resilience and emergency management.
This research is both qualitative and topically structured. Five nurse managers were recruited for this study using the intentional sampling methodology. Data were gathered via extensive semistructured interviews. Ethical considerations were taken into account during the whole examination. Data administration in this study was made easier by the use of digital technologies. An exploratory design was applied too.
It was discovered that nurse managers were aware of and had favorable sentiments about the organizational support of nursing professionals in the hospital. As indicated by greater accountability, autonomy, critical reflection, and advanced communication capabilities, they validated the beneficial effects of empowerment on their staff nurses, which ultimately improved overall safety and quality of patient care. The shifting demands regarding their management job and leadership style, however, resulted in nurse managers' experiences with these projects being inconsistent. Additionally, due to a focus on immediate patient care, a lack of communication, and closely planned projects, pressure was being felt by both staff nurses and nurse supervisors. The emotional support of nurses was a top priority for nurse managers throughout the pandemic, despite the fact that they were also stressed and exhausted. More consideration must be given to the psychological needs of nurse supervisors, implement measures to lessen their tiredness, and make arrangements for easily available assistance. | en_US |
