Background The hybrid role (clinical and managerial leadership tasks) of physicians in medical leadership positions (MLPs) is a driver of the attractiveness of these positions. The increasing feminization of the medical profession makes gender-related preferences for hybrid roles relevant. Purpose The current study uses the (EPL) career aspirations framework to analyze the (gender-related) effects that efficacy beliefs, motivations, and preferences for clinical leadership and managerial leadership have on the willingness of chief physicians to apply for an MLP. Methodology: A survey of senior physicians in German university hospitals yielded a sample size of N = 496. The resulting data were analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach. Findings The results confirm the low preference for MLPs among senior physicians, which is mainly affected by preferences for managerial leadership tasks. Female senior physicians perceive the position of an MLP to be less attractive than their male counterparts do, and female physicians’ willingness to apply for an MLP is concurrently driven by their preferences for clinical leadership and managerial leadership tasks. Practical implications: Mentoring programs could boost female senior physicians’ preparedness for MLPs. Further, flexibility in fulfilling managerial leadership tasks could be promoted to make MLPs more attractive to women.

This paper examines student participation in units of sport education from the perspective of those students’ social agenda. Using a combination of fieldnotes, interview, and videotape data, four major themes emerged: (a) a change in the way students socialized during class (with a particular emphasis on the development of teamwork and cooperation), (b) a change in the opportunities for personal and social development (including leadership skills and cooperation), (c) a change in the nature of competition (where winning became more important and led to greater student effort), and (d) a change in how students viewed their learning within their physical education class. While in regular physical education contexts, the student social system often conflicts with the teacher’s agenda, in this study, data suggested that because students were placed in both instructional and managerial leadership roles, these typically teacher-driven task systems became an integral part of the student social system.

A central and specific aspect of the Church of Norway is its legally grounded democratic structure of autonomous local congregations. This local congregational organization complements the traditional synodal and/or episcopal structures of other churches. The institution of the church warden, dating back to medieval times, has been transformed into a general managerial position on behalf of the joint parish councils in each municipality. The chapter traces the roots of this position and reviews two decades of research on church wardens’ conception of managerial leadership roles. This review show that church wardens have a clear managerial identity and balance differing demands on managerial work. They are also key agents in communicating and interacting with their local communities and municipal authorities, securing legitimacy and resources.

The purpose of this study was to implement and assess an educational intervention for nursing students pertaining to perinatal depression (PD) screening and treatment. A single group (n = 59), repeated-measures design (i.e., pre- and post-intervention assessments) was used to assess the impact of an online intervention. Demographics, Theory of Planned Behavior constructs, intention to screen and treat PD, and PD-related knowledge were tested. The intervention resulted in positive gains in PD-related perceived behavioral control (PBC), attitudes, subjective norms, knowledge, intention to screen and treat PD, and perceived importance of screening and treating PD from pre- to post-intervention. PBC demonstrated a small-to-moderate positive association with perceived importance of screening and treating PD at post-intervention. Results from the current study suggest that the PD online educational intervention is effective in improving participants’ PD-related PBC, attitudes, subjective norms, knowledge, and intention to screen and treat PD.

Abstract Background The traditional bed bath with water and soap often leads to emotional and physical discomfort among bedridden patients. In addition, the traditional bed bath is physically demanding for nurses. The washing without water concept is increasingly used in healthcare to bathe bedridden patients and is likely to affect emotional and physical comfort dimensions. This protocol describes a study that will assess how washing without water performs compared to the traditional bed bath regarding emotional and physical comfort experienced by the bathed bedridden person and regarding physical demands for the provider of the bed bath.Methods This study uses a randomized cross-over design in which nursing students will simulate the bed baths of patients in a laboratory setting. Students will be randomly allocated to a patient or a nurse group and consequently will respectively receive or provide two bed baths: the traditional bed bath and a washing without water bed bath. The order of the bed baths will be randomly determined. Students will receive instructions about the steps of the bathing methods and case descriptions about their role as a patient or nurse. Questionnaires will be used before and after each bed bath to collect data for the primary outcomes of experienced emotional and physical comfort (among students receiving the bed bath) and physical demands (among students providing the bed bath); and, for secondary outcomes related to bed bathing preferences, grades given to the bathing methods and perceived importance of the bed bath. Differences between the two bathing methods will be analyzed, taking the order of the bed baths into account.Discussion This study will add to the scientific knowledge of the washing without water bed bath, for which evidence on comfort is currently lacking. If differences in comfort between washing without water and the traditional bed bath are detected among nursing students, it is likely these differences will also be present among actual patients and nurses, as generally, patients are more vulnerable and nurses spend more time bathing patients compared to students.

Abstract The authors describe an innovative clinical education program that emphasizes the provision of written language services by preservice speech-language pathology graduate students at Radford University in Virginia. Clinicians combined academic coursework in language acquisition in school-age children and clinical experiences that target children's written language development to promote future literacy-based leadership roles and collaborative efforts among school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs). These literacy-based experiences prepare SLPs to serve in the growing numbers of American public schools that are implementing Response to Intervention models.

Past research has shown that the gender typicality of applicants’ faces affects leadership selection irrespective of a candidate’s gender: A masculine facial appearance is congruent with masculine-typed leadership roles, thus masculine-looking applicants are hired more certainly than feminine-looking ones. In the present study, we extended this line of research by investigating hiring decisions for both masculine- and feminine-typed professional roles. Furthermore, we used eye tracking to examine the visual exploration of applicants’ portraits. Our results indicate that masculine-looking applicants were favored for the masculine-typed role (leader) and feminine-looking applicants for the feminine-typed role (team member). Eye movement patterns showed that information about gender category and facial appearance was integrated during first fixations of the portraits. Hiring decisions, however, were not based on this initial analysis, but occurred at a second stage, when the portrait was viewed in the context of considering the applicant for a specific job.
