First-Line Nurse Managers' Challenges at the Crossroads of Norwegian Health Care Reforms.

Nursing Administration Quarterly

Abstract

Norwegian municipal health care has large public service offerings, funded by tax revenues; however, the current Norwegian welfare model is not perceived as sustainable and future-oriented. First-line nurse managers in Norwegian municipal health care are challenged by changes due to major political and government-initiated reforms requiring expanded utilization of home nursing. The aim of this theoretical study was to describe challenges the first-line nurse managers in a Nordic welfare country have encountered on the basis of government-initiated reforms and to describe strategies to maintain their responsibilities in nursing care. First-line nurse managers' competence, clinical presence, and support from superiors were identified as prerequisites to maintain sight of the patients in leadership when reforms are implemented. The strategies first-line nurse managers in Norwegian municipal health care use to implement multiple reforms, regulations, and new acts require solid competencies in nursing, leadership, and administration. Competence in nursing enables focus on the patient while leading the staff. Supports from superiors and formal leadership networks are described as prerequisites for managing the challenges posed by cha...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
