Abstract

Participants on the development programme for newly appointed matrons felt they needed to share their experiences and develop leadership and team0building skills. Personality tests and receiving individual feedback were seen as helpful. The programme is thought to be a valuable tool in integrating these new roles in the trust. The matrons are now in action learning sets.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
