Nurses have assumed management positions in many health institutions. To properly accomplish the demands of this role, it is important that they be competent in both management and leadership. For appropriate performance, knowledge of management and supervision styles is a priority. Therefore, the goal of this investigation is to identify the nurse manager's knowledge regarding management and leadership. A structured questionnaire containing twenty-seven questions was applied to twelve Brazilian nurse managers of primary care center called "Family Basic Health Units". Data analysis suggested that the nurse manager lower knowledge in management and leadership is related to visionary leadership, management and leadership conceptual differences, leader's behavior, and situational leadership. And, nurse manager greater knowledge is related to power; team work, and coherence between values and attitudes.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model of the underlying mechanisms linking perceived availability of human resource (HR) practices relevant to older nurses and older nurses’ intentions to stay with their hospitals. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative data were collected from randomly selected older registered nurses (N=660) engaged in direct patient care in hospitals in Canada. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesized model. Findings – The relationship between perceptions of HR practices (performance evaluation, recognition/respect) and intentions to stay was mediated by the perceived fairness with which nurse managers managed these HR practices and nurse manager satisfaction. When nurse managers were perceived to administer the HR practices fairly (high perceived procedural justice), older nurses were more satisfied with their nurse manager and, in turn, more likely to intend to stay. Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional research design does not allow determination of causality. Practical implications – It is important that nurse managers receive training to increase their awareness of the needs of older nurses and that nurse managers be educated on how to manage HR practices relevant to older nurses in a fair manner. Equally important is that hospital administrators and HR managers recognize the importance of providing such HR practices and supporting nurse managers in managing these practices. Originality/value – The findings increase the understanding of how HR practices tailored to older nurses are related to the intentions of these nurses to remain with their hospital, and especially the crucial role that first-line nurse managers play in this process.

Purpose: to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in primary care and to analyze the predictive role of different risk factors on prognosis, especially living conditions. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal observational retrospective study by reviewing medical records from a primary care center since March 1 to April 30, 2020. Case definition of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics, comorbidity and living conditions were collected. The statistical analysis consisted in description of the sample, comparison of prognosis groups and analysis of prognostic factors. Results. A sample of 70 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was obtained, with comorbidity mainly related to arterial hypertension, overweight/obesity, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and chronic pulmonary pathology. Pneumonia was present in 66%. Exitus occurred in 14% of the sample. Factors associated with mortality were advanced age (84 vs 55; p<0.0001), arterial hypertension (78% vs 41%; p=0.040), asthma-COPD (56% vs 13%; p=0.008) and atrial fibrillation (56% vs 5%; p=0.001). Conclusions. The study reflects the clinical practice of a primary care center. This kind of studies are essential to strengthen and reorganize the Health System and to try to anticipate the medium- to long-term consequences of COVID-19 on global health.

<p><strong><em>Introduction</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Learning clinical skills in the skills lab gives students the opportunity to learn and practice their clinical skills before examining directly to patients. However, the skills lab itself has many components that require good management and leadership to avoid obstacles or problems in the implementation of learning.</em></p><p><strong><em>Method</em></strong><em>: Literature review conducted through google and google scholar search engines with the keywords “leadership”, “management”, “team”, and “skills lab” from 1985-2015.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Result</em></strong><em>: </em><em>There are several concepts from literature study that can be applied to overcome managerial problems in the skills lab. An effective leader / manager profile according to Quinn (Quinn’s eight roles) is needed in leading the skills lab because the head of the skills lab as the first line manager is responsible for managerial problems in the skills lab. In addition, management and leadership in the skills lab is also very necessary to produce an effective and efficient team so that the performance and contribution of the management team is effective. By understanding the Belbin Team Roles, the concept can be adapted in managing the skills lab management by synergizing the roles among the members of the skills lab management team. Within this concept, there are eight aspects of roles in a good management team.</em></p><p><strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Given the complexity in the skills lab, managerial problems can arise that can result in the preparation of modules, equipment, facilities, etc. being unprepared. Managerial problem solving in the skills lab can be solved by applying the manager's roles and functions, Quinn's eight roles and the Belbin team roles.</em></p><p><strong>Pendahuluan</strong>: Pembelajaran keterampilan klinis di <em>skills lab</em> memberikan kesempatan mahasiswa untuk belajar dan mempraktikkan keterampilan klinis mahasiswa sebelum terjun ke pasien langsung. Namun, <em>skills lab</em> sendiri memiliki komponen yang banyak sehingga memerlukan manajemen dan <em>leadership</em> yang baik supaya tidak terjadi kendala atau permasalahan dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran.</p><p><strong>Metode</strong>: <em>Literature review</em> yang dilakukan melalui <em>search engine google </em>dan <em>google scholar</em> dengan kata kunci “<em>leadership”, “management”, “team”, </em>dan<em> “skills lab”</em> dari tahun 1985-2015.</p><p><strong>Hasil</strong>: Ada beberapa konsep dari studi literatur terpilih yang dapat diaplikasikan untuk mengatasi permasalahan manajerial di<em> skills lab. </em>Profil pemimpin/manajer yang efektif menurut Quinn (<em>Quinn’s eight roles</em><em>)</em> sangat diperlukan dalam memimpin <em>skills lab</em> karena kepala bagian <em>skills lab</em> sebagai manajer lini pertama bertanggung jawab terhadap permasalahan manajerial di <em>skills lab</em>. Selain itu, manajemen dan<em> leadership </em>di <em>skills lab </em>juga<em> </em>sangat diperlukan untuk menghasilkan tim yang efektif dan efisien sehingga kinerja dan kontribusi tim pengelola menjadi efektif. Dengan memahami <em>the </em><em>Belbin Team Role</em><em>s</em>, maka konsep tersebut dapat diadaptasi dalam pengelolaan manajemen <em>skills lab</em> dengan melakukan sinergi peran diantara anggota tim pengelola <em>skills lab</em>. Dalam konsep tersebut, terdapat delapan aspek peran dalam sebuah tim manajemen yang bagus.</p><p><strong>Kesimpulan</strong>: Dengan adanya kompleksitas di <em>skills lab</em>, maka dapat timbul permasalahan manajerial seperti kurang siapnya modul, peralatan, fasilitas, dan lainnya. Penyelesaian permasalahan manajerial di <em>skills lab</em> dapat ditinjau dari aplikasi peran dan fungsi manajer, <em>Quinn’s eight roles</em> dan <em>t</em><em>he Belbin </em><em>t</em><em>eam </em><em>r</em><em>ol</em>es.</p>
