A Multicentre Study of Nursing Leadership in Andalusian Hospitals from a Gender-based Perspective

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 2: 2021
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.467
Pages: 
74-80
Synopsis: 
In today’s world, leadership is a key factor in the coordination and direction of the personnel in healthcare centres. Consequently, it is crucial to determine the predominant leadership behaviours typical of the different nursing management levels and to analyse how this leadership was reflected in the daily interactions among the supervisors and their subordinates. The results will ultimately lead to a more efficient hospital system and a more effective use of human resources.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Leadership is the ability to guide subordinates in a direction or decision so that they can perform a task or achieve a goal that leaves them feeling empowered and accomplished. Leaders are capable of producing changes and at the same time, they inspire others to do the same. This research analysed gender-based differences and dimensions of nursing leadership styles in 18 hospitals in Andalusia, a region of southern Spain.

Reduced Male:Female Ratio at Birth in Small Islands

Issue: 
Vol 65, Issue 1: 2016
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2014.195
Pages: 
177–9
Synopsis: 
The male:female ratio at birth (M/F: male divided by total births) approximates 0.515. In The Bahamas, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mauritius, M/F from 1960–2009 was only 0.5106 (95% CL 0.5101, 0.5110). There were no secular trends in M/F.

ABSTRACT

Background: The male:female ratio at birth (M/F: male births divided by total births) is anticipated to approximate 0.515. The M/F in Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean has been noted to be higher than anticipated. This study analysed M/F in island populations available from a World Health Organization dataset.

Imaging–anatomic Measurements of Carotid Artery Bifurcation

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 4: 2021
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.075
Pages: 
207-11
Synopsis: 
Carotid artery bifurcation (CAB) was measured on three-dimensional images of 64-spiral CT angiography, which can clearly observe and show the CAB. All of CAB measurements will provide the objective basis for applied anatomy, imaging diagnosis and surgery treatment.
