Quality Of Nursing

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate managers’ leadership styles, from the perspective of registered nurses, and its effects on the quality of nursing care in both the private and public healthcare sectors. An additional aim is to assess the relationship between leadership styles and particular organisational outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The sample for this quantitative research study was comprised of 400 respondents, among which 50 were nurse managers, 150 were staff nurses and the remaining respondents were patients. Two questionnaires were used in this study: the multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) 5X short and a patient satisfaction with nursing care quality questionnaire (PSNCQQ). Findings A positive correlation was found between the transformational leadership style with leadership outcomes and the quality of nursing care (r=0.811**, 0.759**, 0.789** and 0.877** for extra effort, job satisfaction, leader effectiveness and quality, respectively). Practical implications Although the sample study was extensive, a possible limitation is that the research utilised convenient sample who are working in the private and public healthcare sectors thus limiting the generalisability of the study. Originality/value This study was proposed as a baseline for upcoming studies in areas of education, nursing practice, research and quality. Moreover, this study was expected to be imperative to the hospital’s management, in order to improve the current level of leadership, education models and advancement programs for the healthcare sector’s senior staff.

Baitul Izzah 1 room as a disease treatment room in class III, the head of the room has not yet supervised the Person in Charge of Care (PPJA) and so on PPJA to the Associate Nurse (PP). The supervision that has been carried out so far is only to ask directly about existing problems to the head of the room and directly observe the activities of implementing nursing care by PPJA and PP. Tiered supervision does not go well, because there are no references and standards for its implementation. The purpose of this study was to determine Implementation of The Tiered Supervision as a Supervision Function. It was found that the implementation of tiered supervision instruments improved the performance of the head of the room, PPJA and PP, then the patient's medical record document increases in completeness chargingespecially the patient's Islamic education document. In conclusion, tiered supervision instruments are very helpful in the implementation of the supervisory function as well as monitoring and evaluation in nursing management in the implementation of nursing care in the inpatient room.

Quality Of Nursing

The forces influencing the development of outcome standards are gaining momentum. These forces are professional nursing issues, accreditation standards, and reimbursement issues. Traditionally, structure and process measures provided the means for evaluating the quality of nursing care. But nurses also play an important role in achieving positive patient outcomes. Outcome standards provide a mechanism for measuring patient outcomes. In 1990, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) published Outcome Standards for Nursing Care of the Critically Ill. The book serves as a model for developing and using outcome standards in critical care units. This chapter describes these outcome standards and recommends ways to use them. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations’ (JCAHO) ten-step model outlines development of unit-specific outcome standards. Methods focus throughout on a quality assurance framework
