- Abstract
Background: Research of managerial skills is limited during the COVID-19 pandemic. The managers of nurses should be able to create in nurses a feeling of safety, satisfaction, pride for work or perception of work as a mission. Defining the skills important for this aim and mechanism of its effective operation is a very important topic of interest. Aim: Examine the interrelationship of the crisis skills of nursing management and nursing staff's safety climate and at the same time whether this connection is supported by the transformational or transactional style of management leadership. Sample and methods: During September 2020, we conducted research using questionnaires designed using standardized measurement instruments. The sample consisted of 606 nurses in Slovakia from 3 faculty and university hospitals and 8 general hospitals (private providers). Results: The hypothesis of dependence between crisis skills of nursing management and safety climate in a hospital, mediated by a transformational/transactional style of management, was confirmed by research. Complete mediation was identified, where up to 86% of the total effect is realised by mediating variables with a significant influence of the transformational leadership style. Conclusions: The need for quality nursing management, which has the professional knowledge and the managerial skills needed to manage medical teams in a challenging and emotional situations.
