AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this scoping review was to examine the range of literature about succession planning in nursing education.BackgroundSuccession planning establishes leadership continuity and inherent knowledge within an institution and nursing education. Most of the literature on succession in nursing is focused in the healthcare setting with limited information of succession planning in nursing education discovered.MethodArksey and O’Malley’s (2005) framework was used to guide this review.ResultsEmergent categories in the charted literature representing succession planning in nursing education included discouraging factors to assuming a leadership role, encouraging factors to assuming a leadership role, and strategies for successful succession planning.ConclusionThere are many factors that discourage and encourage a faculty member when pursuing a leadership position. Developing and implementing a successful succession plan that includes the development of leadership abilities and traits could foster the development of future leaders in nursing education.

PurposeTo review the literature and identify research gaps in the role and influence boards of directors of companies have in occupational health and safety (OHS).Design/methodology/approachThis was done in a scoping review built on a structured search in MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, CCInfoWeb, EconLit, Web of Science, CINAHL and gray literature. Citations and reference lists were tracked. Inclusion criteria were publication in English. Exclusion criteria were studies covering companies using subcontractors to arrange OHS, or with <250 employees.FindingsForty-nine studies were included. The majority contained empirical data (n = 28; 57%), some were entirely normative (n = 16; 33%), and a few contained normative claims far beyond empirical data (n = 5; 10%). Empirical studies gave no insight into the scope of impact of board activities on OHS, and no studies assess the causal mechanisms by which board activities influence OHS outcomes. Most studies focused on both health and safety (n = 20; 41%) or only safety (n = 15; 31%). Context might explain the focus on safety rather than health, but is not clearly elucidated by the studies. Several studies are describing leadership behavior, although not framed as such. A narrative summary is presented to facilitate future research.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research should include: (1) which board activities influence OHS, (2) how board activities influence OHS, (3) the influence of context and (4) the leadership role of boards of directors.Originality/valueThis study identifies a total lack of research on the basic mechanics of the relationship between boards and OHS.

Asthma Intervention

Given the leading role school nurses occupy within the school setting, they are often the most suited health care professionals to lead asthma programs. However, most school-based asthma programs have been conducted by researchers outside the school setting. Thus, we aim to determine what is currently known about the type of school nurse-led asthma intervention programs and their impact on children’s asthma-related outcomes. This article describes published literature on school nurse-led asthma intervention programs for the school-aged population using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework. A search strategy was developed and implemented in six electronic databases from 1980 to 2020. Results showed that school nurse-led asthma programs were predominantly educational interventions. Yet given the positive outcomes of school nurse-led asthma interventions reported across the articles reviewed, it is important to emphasize the leadership role school nurses assume in asthma programs, to promote more positive asthma-related outcomes in school children.
