Article Abstract
Background: Authentic leadership in nurse managers has been identified as a strong predictor of multiple nurse outcomes. However, its association with staff performance and nurses' intention to leave has yet to be established.
Purpose: This study was designed to identify the predictive effect of sociodemographic variables on nurse performance and intention to leave and to examine the relationship between authentic leadership in nurse managers and, respectively, nurse performance and intention to leave.
Methods: A comparative and correlational design and a cross-sectional survey approach were used. A convenience sample of 166 registered nurses working in a government hospital in Jordan was recruited. Data collection was performed online using the sociodemographics questionnaire, the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, the Turnover Intention Scale, and the Six Dimensions of Nurse's Performance Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple hierarchical linear regression.
Results: The overall mean score was 2.08 (SD = 0.87) for the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, 3.57 (SD = 1.76) for the Turnover Intention Scale, and 3.00 (SD = 0.51) for the Staff Performance Scale. Mean nursing performance differed significantly based on marital status, whereas intention to leave differed significantly based on marital status and the respondent's perception of their first-line manager. A statistically significant, positive correlation between authentic leadership and staff performance and a statistically significant, negative correlation between authentic leadership and intention to leave were found. In addition, authentic leadership was uniquely associated with staff performance (B = 0.19, p < .05) and intention to leave (B = -0.39, p < .05) in the hierarchical regression analysis after controlling for sociodemographic variables.
Conclusions/implications For Practice: Authentic leadership from nurse managers is associated with improved nurse performance and lower nurse intention to leave. Nurse managers may enhance authentic leadership attributes to better retain nurses in hospitals and improve nurse job performance.

Background: A failure to distinguish between person-centredness, person-centred care, and person-centred cultures can result in improvement initiatives focusing solely on improvement initiative metrics and outcomes, excluding the authentic experiences of patients and staff. Building on the foundational work of Dewing and McCormack, we have designed, piloted, and implemented the Person-centred Lean Six Sigma (PCLSS) model in public and private acute and community healthcare settings across Ireland. This model uses Lean Six Sigma, a widely adopted improvement methodology, through a person-centred lens with which improvement practitioners and healthcare staff can inspect their Lean Six Sigma practice and critically evaluate whether, to what extent, and how it is synergistic with person-centred approaches.

Background: Community-based participatory research has been a cornerstone of health promotion and public health for over two decades, providing a foundation for co-production approaches that actively involve communities in the design and implementation of interventions. This paper examines the application of co-production as a research approach for developing youth advocacy videos on countering unhealthy food marketing and e-cigarette advertising.
Methodology: The research to co-produce videos was conducted with 33 young people aged between 12 and 16 living in the Central Belt of Scotland.

Moral distress is a phenomenon that is increasing in nursing practice. Many factors can contribute to moral distress such as the quality of leadership, the rationing of care, the skill mix assigned to the unit or failure of leadership to respond to the nurse's patient advocacy. While there is a significant amount of research on moral distress in nurses' fewer studies have focused on the role of leadership in managing the moral distress experienced by Registered Nurses.
