This action research project aimed to investigate students', newly qualified staff nurses' and ward managers' views about the management skills and knowledge required by staff nurses, and how best students could be prepared for their management role.
The importance of the staff nurse's management role is increasingly being recognized but the literature highlights the difficulties in preparing students for management, and personal experience confirmed this.
Focus group interviews were held with senior students and newly qualified staff nurses. A questionnaire was then developed which was completed by 23 ward managers.
A good insight into the management skills and knowledge expected of newly qualified staff nurses, and useful ideas about preparation for the role emerged. An extra 2 weeks in practice, supernumerary and with specific management learning outcomes, was implemented and evaluated well.
Preparation of students for their management role as staff nurses benefits from being closely linked to practical experience, with clear learning outcomes and supportive clinical staff. Using an action research approach to investigate the problem and develop a strategy was found to be an appropriate methodology.
本行动研究项目旨在调查学生、新取得资格的护士及病房护士长对于护士所需管理技能和知识的看法，以及如何以最佳方式让学生为其管理角色做好准备。
护士的管理角色的重要性日益得到认可，但文献强调了让学生为管理工作做好准备存在困难，个人经验也证实了这一点。
与高年级学生和新取得资格的护士进行了焦点小组访谈。随后编制了一份问卷，由23名病房护士长填写。
深入了解了对新取得资格的护士所期望的管理技能和知识，并出现了关于为该角色做准备的有益想法。额外增加了2周实践时间，以超编人员身份参与实践，并设定了具体的管理学习成果，实施效果良好且得到了积极评价。
让学生为护士管理角色做好准备，受益于与实践经验紧密相连，具备明确的学习成果以及有支持作用的临床工作人员。采用行动研究方法来调查问题并制定策略被证明是一种合适的方法。
