TI  - Nurse coordinator leadership and work environment conflicts: consequences for 
      physical and work-related health of nursing staff.
PG  - 296-306
AB  - BACKGROUND: Research has amply demonstrated that positive leadership counters the 
      onset of burnout and conflicting situations between colleagues that in turn 
      create favourable conditions for a healthy organization and consequently for good 
      quality of care. OBJECTIVES: To investigate if more positive leadership is 
      associated with lower levels of conflict in the work environment that in turn are 
      associated with lower levels of burnout, psychosomatic disorders and negative 
      indicators of work environment (feeling not being adequately appreciated, lack of 
      clarity about tasks and roles, gossip, resentment towards the organization), and 
      with higher levels of work satisfaction. METHOD: Five scales of QISO (Nursing 
      Organizational Health Questionnaire) and the Maslach Inventory (Burnout scale), 
      were administered to a total of 192 nurses working in medical and surgical 
      departments of two different Italian hospitals. The study design was 
      cross-sectional. To test the hypothesis a structural equation model (SEM) was 
      used. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrate the crucial role played by 
      positive leadership of nursing coordinators that, directly and indirectly, 
      promotes a healthy work environment with lower conflicts, burnout, and 
      psychosomatic disorders among nurses and limits the presence of negative 
      indicators in workplace. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the key role of the 
      nursing coordinator in creating a healthy work environment that contributes to 
      physical and work-related health of the nursing staff.
