Does self-efficacy mediate the relationship between transformational leadership behaviours and healthcare workers' sleep quality?
Our results indicate that training managers in transformational leadership behaviours may have a positive impact on healthcare workers' health over time. However, more research is needed to examine the mechanisms by which transformational leadership brings about improved sleep quality; self-efficacy was not found to be the explanation.
Baseline proficiency with simulated emergency cricothyroidotomy is associated with age and years from residency. Despite standardized training, operator age and years from residency were associated with decreased proficiency. Further research should explore the potential of using age and years from residency as factors for implementing periodic continuing medical education.
