. Transformational and transactional leadership behaviours of healthcare managers have a positive impact on employee job satisfaction and commitment, ultimately improving patient care quality. The most efficient way to develop leadership behaviour in managers is to teach emotional intelligence skills simultaneously. Training programmes are more effective when preceded by a com - petency assessment.

). Abstract. In the contemporary approach to ante-and postnatal care, where men are anticipated to participate more, men themselves also wish to be more included. Even though national health policy presents person-centred care as a central goal, it is not clear if and how it manifests itself for some, as men continue to feel excluded from the ante-and postnatal care process. The aim of this research was to identify the information sources that men in Estonia currently rely upon regarding the ante-and postnatal period in order to both understand the possible areas of development and the potential application of health communication tools to support men in ante-and postnatal care. The research, which was part of a master’s thesis, was a qualitative study conducted with 13 men who were fathers or were about to become fathers. The results indicate that despite the new standards in health policy, there is a lack of targeted support systems to address men’s information needs during the ante-and postnatal period in Estonia – a problem further intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. The current results show that adequate information access requires advanced skills in source criticality, languages, health and digital literacy. The study found that the issue can be resolved through conscious use of health communication tools, which need to be in a person-centred format – easily found, user-friendly and logically structured. A systemic approach needs to be developed to further support men. Health communication strategies can mediate such an approach by being able to accommodate a wider range of skills and preferences.

. Primary care is the basic level of care, where patients start their treatment journey. Proactive management at primary care level improves health access and quality of care through proactive approach for specific patient sub-groups, improves integration of care at different levels of the health care system, and improves patient outcomes. The aim of the study was to describe family nurses’ perceptions of high-risk patients’ proactive management and identify further training needs; therefore, a descriptive and empirical two-stage study design was used. A convenience sample of 16 family nurses was recruited in the first stage. The study was conducted at five Estonian primary health centers. Data were collected by Modified Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (MPACIC) online questionnaire between September and December 2020. Ethical approval was obtained. The nurses evaluated their proactive management of high-risk patients positively. Higher results were related to patient support, encouragement, involvement in everyday care, and individual goal setting questions. Lower results were related to referral to professionals, follow-up visits, and suggesting specific health related programs and events from which the patients could benefit. As a second stage of the study, a training program was developed based on the acquired results and training was conducted for 18 nurses at one primary health center, where care management has been used since 2017. The training program was found to be useful. Nurses need specific knowledge about the proactive management and care plan of high-risk patients, which can be ensured through systematic training. The subject of nurses’ perceptions could benefit from further study by qualitative methods.

. Creating an attractive workplace in healthcare is an issue many countries will try to resolve because of a global shortage of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to describe how healthcare staff in Estonia assessed appreciative management and its connection to the country and workplace in which they would choose to work outside Estonia. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted via an electronic survey among healthcare staff. Over half of the respondents (53.7%, n = 151) had no intention of leaving the workplace; over three of five (64.4%, n = 181) did not intend to leave the profession within a year. Systematic management, equality, and promotion of well-being at work were weakly connected to moving to another country. The more systematic management, equality, and promotion of well-being at work, the less the respondents considered moving. Appreciation of know-how had no statistically significant connection to considering moving to another country. In conclusion, only a few healthcare professionals were willing to leave their workplace or their profession. Appreciative management may be one issue to further promote workplace attractiveness and reduce turnover. The workplaces in healthcare are part of their country and environment, meaning their international reputation is important when one wonders where to live and work. This study implied that most of the healthcare professionals were willing to stay in their workplace and/or profession in Estonia, positively acknowledging which factor to base healthcare development on in Estonia.
