To assist managers in applying a set of intuitively appealing actions that can be helpful in conflict resolution.

Utilizing a mindful strategy of listening, empathizing, visualizing, considering effects, and liaising with involved parties toward resolving conflicts in a mutually considerate way.

Leveling with colleagues, especially when in a supervisory position, will demonstrate respect for individual perspectives, and the will to reflect on both sides of a situation before coming to a decision.

Applying LEVEL may take more time than jumping to quick conclusions, but it will enhance employees’ reverence for their leader, as they find that decisions are well-considered, and respectfully communicated.

An intuitively sound way of leading mindfully and respectfully in increasingly complex work environments.

Providing workforce members with an understandable and workable platform to successfully withstand professional crossroads.

A reflective, experience-based deliberation on the emotional and action-based steps to be taken when unanticipated crossroads emerge.

Crossroads are inevitable and can be heart-wrenching, but if addressed mindfully, they can lead to greater fulfillment.

Providing workforce members a platform to consider when facing the next professional crossroads.

Crossroads happen to all of us, yet, few articles have been written about this all too common process. Given the frequently recurring nature of this predicament, a practical, compassionate notation could bring relief and encouragement to workforce members.

This article aims to illuminate the gendered organisational structure of higher education in Jordan by collecting and analysing a national-level snapshot of the current distribution of women and men in leadership positions and academic ranks across Jordanian universities to pinpoint inequalities in specific levels and fields.

Grounded in gendered organisational theory, this study presents a snapshot of the gender composition of 10 public and 14 private universities in Jordan. The snapshot, collected in September 2022 from these universities’ websites, examines counts of male and female administrative leaders as well as academic staff across all ranks for all faculties in both STEM and liberal arts fields.

The distribution of women and men in leadership positions in universities across Jordan is highly unequal, with men outnumbering women in the uppermost positions by nearly 10:1. This gap decreases as the rank of positions decreases, indicative of a highly gendered organisational structure, with only three to four fields approaching gender parity.

This paper offers a comprehensive and detailed quantitative foundation for researchers to investigate the underlying social, cultural, legal, political and economic factors perpetuating gender inequality in academia in Jordan and in comparative studies.

This study is relevant for targeting policies for advancing sustainable development goals, specifically 5.5, which aim at women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making.

This study provides the most detailed and extensive macro-level analysis of the gender composition of universities in Jordan.

The impact of dependence on self-care on people’s lives is very significant, with consequences for the person and their caregivers. The purpose of this study is to map the evidence on the factors that influence the empowerment of the person dependent on self-care on returning home.

Scoping review according to the criteria proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute: population (people with a dependence on self-care), concept (factors that influence training) and context (return home after hospitalization in a medical-surgical context). The research was carried out from March 1 to April 30, 2022, in the databases CINAHL and MEDLINE (via EBSCO), Scielo, LILACS, Cuiden and MedicLatina; Gray literature searched RCAAP, DART-Europe and OpenGrey. Studies published in Portuguese, Spanish and English were included, with no time limit.

One hundred and eighty-one articles were obtained, which, after analysis according to the criteria, resulted in seven studies included for review, ranging from 2007 to 2021, with a level of evidence between 2. c and 4. a (according to Joanna Briggs Institute), and two thematic areas/four categories emerging.

The need for information and training, the relationship and proximity with the health-care team, the design of nursing care targeted at the person’s level of dependence, education, gender, type of surgical intervention and postoperative period, physical space and lack of privacy and audiovisual media.

The perception of these factors proves to be important in the person’s training process, with the nurse’s role being highlighted due to their emphasis on the transition home.
