Abstract

Introduction: The roles of nurse managers are crucial to the success of healthcare organizations, requiring specific skills and competencies. Accordingly, nurse managers are expected to possess leadership and management skills. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the relationship between leadership and managerial competencies among hospital nurse managers. This study seeks to determine the impact of three different leadership competencies, namely administrative skill, interpersonal skill, and conceptual skill, on the managerial competencies of nurse managers at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional quantitative study adopted Northouse’s (2019) leadership competencies questionnaires and Mind Tool’s (2018) management skills assessment tool. A total of 247 participants, all of whom were nurse managers at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Malaysia, were recruited for this study. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. Results: The findings revealed that nurse managers at Kuala Lumpur Hospital possessed high levels of all three leadership skills and managerial competencies. However, the only significant predictor of managerial competencies among the respondents is the conceptual skill of leadership (beta = 0.820, p < 0.01). Conclusions: This study emphasizes conceptual skills (cognitive abilities, analytical reasoning, and decision-making) in predicting managerial competencies among nurse managers. Developing these skills is critical for effective leadership and smooth healthcare organization operations. Keywords: administrative skill, conceptual skill, interpersonal skill, leadership competencies, mental health

Abstract

Introduction: Numerous studies reported that healthcare providers are not as effective in rendering high-quality CPR over time, despite receiving basic life support (BLS) or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training. Thus, to overcome the issue and develop a more feasible implementation of CPR training model, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of a modified conventional training (MT-CPR) method. Method: This was an experimental study conducted to 72 healthcare providers in a teaching hospital in north Borneo. Subjects underwent MT-CPR and data were collected using a validated questionnaire and skills assessment checklist adopted from AHA (2020). Data then was analysed using Friedman, Wilcoxon and McNemar test aided with IBM's Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) statistic software. Result: This study reported that MT-CPR significantly improved the knowledge and skills on CPR (p-value: <0.001). However, the training module significantly incapable to retain the knowledge and skills as early as 3 months post initial MT-CPR (p-value: <0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the MCQ test scores (pre-course, post-course, and post 3 months-course) with ê­“2 (2) = 36.2 (2), p-value = <0.001. There is an association between post-course overall results and post 3 month overall results using McNemar test (p-value < 0.002). Conclusion: Overall, this study indicated that modified CPR training (MT-CPR) were able to develop and improve the CPR knowledge and skill. The adaptation of conventional CPR training method seen effective as it has the capability for better engagement between trainer and participants.
