Amplifying Their Voice: Inclusive Healthcare Provider Perspectives to Improve Advancement, Resilience, and Retention.

Addressing the issues of workplace advancement, resilience, and retention within medicine is crucial for creating a culture of equity, respect, and inclusivity especially towards women and nonbinary (WNB) providers including advanced practice providers (APPs), most notably those from marginalized groups. This also directly impacts healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and overall patient and employee satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to amplify the voices on challenges faced by WNB providers within a pediatric academic healthcare organization,to rank workplace interventions addressing advancement, resilience, and retention highlighting urgency towards addressing these issues, and, lastly, to provide suggestions on how to improve inclusivity. Participants were self-identified WNB providers employed by a pediatric healthcare organization and its affiliated medical university. An eligibility screener was completed by 150 qualified respondents, and 40 WNBs actually participated in study interviews. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide to rank interventions targeted at improving equity, with time allotted for interviewees to discuss their personal lives and how individual circumstances impacted their professional experiences. WNB providers called for efficient workflows and reducing uncompensated job demands. Support for family responsibilities, flexible financial/compensation models, and improved job resources all were endorsed similarly. Participants ranked direct supervisor and leader support substantially lower than other interventions. Conclusions:Career mentorship and academic support for WNB individuals are recognized interventions for advancement and retention but were not ranked as top priorities. Respondents focused on personal supports as they relate to family, job resources, and flexible compensation models. Future studies should focus on implementing realistic expectations and structures that support whole lives including professional ambitions, time with family, personal pursuits, and self-care.

Characterizing engagement and burnout among Certified Child Life Specialists: a mixed methods study

ABSTRACT Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) are healthcare professionals susceptible to burnout given the psychosocial nature of their role. Job engagement and motivation are highly related to burnout in many populations, yet few have explored this relationship among CCLS. Therefore, this convergent, mixed-methods study described engagement, motivation, and burnout among CCLS. A sample of 117 CCLS completed an online demographic survey and validated measures of job engagement and burnout; thirty participants completed a semi-structured follow-up interview about their experiences. Overall, participants were emotionally engaged in their work and planned to remain working as a CCLS. Helping patients and families was identified as an important engagement factor; however, participants also reported moderate levels of burnout as emotional exhaustion. Feelings of burnout were related to low compensation, lack of respect from colleagues, and ineffective leadership. CCLS participants noted motivation to stay in the profession was related to supportive leadership that provided resources and opportunities to cultivate and recognize individual strengths. These findings provide guidance on the type of supports and resources CCLS need to remain engaged and motivated in their work, including skilled and knowledgeable leaders, recognition for their role in patient care, professional growth opportunities, and increased compensation.

Professional learning communities and their impact on teacher performance: Empirical evidence from public primary schools in Guiyang

This study examines the relationship between professional learning communities (PLCs) and teacher performance, including 396 public primary school teachers from 18 schools in Guiyang, China. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis revealed that all five PLC dimensions (Shared values and vision, shared and supportive leadership, supportive conditions, collective learning and application, and shared personal practice) positively correlate with teacher performance. Interestingly, shared values and vision indirectly influenced performance by mediating the other four dimensions. These findings highlight the importance of well-designed PLCs for teacher development in China. Limitations, implications, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

We Must Consider Infrastructure when Attempting to Scale up Autism EBIs: A Case Example from Early Intervention Systems.

In the autism field, there is increasing interest in translating evidence-based interventions (EBIs) into systems that serve young autistic children and their families. Public Early Intervention systems have been a focal point of research-based implementation efforts given that these systems are federally mandated to provide services to children birth to three years of age with developmental delays under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Although a growing number of research studies are now training Early Intervention providers to deliver autism EBIs, this work has been conducted on a relatively small scale and has only just begun to consider the alignment of these models with Early Intervention systems and whether sufficient infrastructure exists to scale up these training efforts and to sustain their public health impact. This commentary aims to address this gap by reviewing factors that have been found to uniformly impact the scale-up of EBIs across diverse public systems (Fagan 20, 1147-1168, 2019), and to extend this framework to the implementation of EBIs within public Early Intervention systems. These factors include developer and funder capacity, the public's awareness of and support for EBIs, the system's leadership support for EBI use, the capacity for community engagement in implementation efforts, the availability of a skilled workforce capable of delivering EBIs, and the capacity for data monitoring and quality improvement. This commentary discusses how these factors may specifically impact the scale-up of autism EBIs within EI systems to support toddlers and young, autistic children, and implications for autism researchers.

The Influence of Leadership Dynamics and Workplace Stress on Employee Performance in the Entrepreneurial Sector and the Moderating Role of Organizational Support

Employee performance is crucial to the success of organizations, particularly in the entrepreneurial sector. Various factors, such as abusive supervision, job stress, turnover intention, and agile leadership, play a significant role in determining performance outcomes. This study aims to evaluate how perceived organizational support moderates the effects of these factors on employee performance in public firms in the UAE. Data were gathered from a valid sample of 211 respondents. The analysis employed measurement and structural model assessments using Smart PLS version 4.0. The results validated the internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the latent constructs. Structural equation modeling indicated significant effects of agile leadership, abusive supervision, and job stress on employee performance. Furthermore, perceived organizational support was found to significantly moderate the relationships between agile leadership and employee performance, abusive supervision and employee performance, and job stress and employee performance. Based on these findings, several policy recommendations were made for public sector firms in the UAE, particularly highlighting the importance of supportive leadership practices in enhancing employee performance within the entrepreneurial sector.

A Nursing Clinical Care Services Platform to Support Leadership Decision Making.

Like most organizations, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) generates a lot of data of varying types, from clinical to staffing and operations. However, these datasets are separated, preventing effective analytics. To improve workforce management and care delivery, CHOP's Nursing department collaborated with the Data & Analytics team to create a dashboard-based platform for analyzing workforce metrics and patient outcomes, aiding nursing leaders in decision-making. This project involved multiple phases with contributions from Nursing, Data & Analytics, CHOP's Data Trust Office, and Human Resources. Key performance indicators were identified, and a variety of data sources were aggregated to provide a comprehensive view of the nursing enterprise. The resulting platform offers automated, current, and reliable analytics on various aspects, including nursing demographics, education, survey results, staffing actuals by job group, and patient and family experience data. The platform's usability was assessed using a modified Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale survey, with a 29% response rate primarily from senior directors and managers. The findings showed high usability and satisfaction, indicating the dashboard is a valuable decision-support tool. Lessons learned include the need for analytics education for nurses and mid-managers, the inclusion of critical nursing-specific metrics (and development of the data pipelines making them possible), and the integration of multidisciplinary team metrics for comprehensive nursing analytics.

A framework for transformational leadership to enhance teacher's work performance.

In the new era of higher education focusing on "double first-class" development, private universities in China face significant opportunities and challenges. The success of these institutions is closely linked to effective leadership, particularly transformational leadership, which is known to inspire and motivate employees toward extraordinary achievements. This study explores the existence and impact of transformational leadership on teachers' work performance in Chinese private universities. It aims to fill a research gap regarding the role of transformational leadership in a resource-constrained environment and provide practical insights for enhancing teachers' work performance, thereby contributing to the rapid development of private universities and the realization of "double first-class" goals. This study employed an input-process-output approach, combining qualitative data from face-to-face interviews with 12 leaders at Guangdong University of Science and Technology and quantitative data from an electronic survey of 392 university teachers. Data were analyzed using SPSS26.0, AMOS24.0, and NVIVO14, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, common method bias assessment, and correlation analysis. Structural equation modeling with AMOS24.0 was used to explore the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers' work performance, evaluating the impact of each transformational leadership dimension. The study findings demonstrated that transformational leadership styles are being employed in Chinese private universities, albeit not extensively, with moderate effects on teachers' work performance. The research identified organizational vision, intellectual stimulation, and personal recognition as significant drivers of enhanced performance among faculty members. Nevertheless, the study did not confirm the impact of supportive leadership, inspiring communication, and moral modeling within the context of Chinese private universities. The results highlight areas for potential development in leadership practices, including improving teachers' competencies, motivating teachers, providing good work opportunities and environments, and building good teacher teams.
