Leadership development at operational level in a nursing service is important to cope with all the transformation required. The purpose with this study is to explore and describe the views of black professional nurses on leadership behaviour, within the context of an operating theatre department, and to determine the influence of their occupational history on these views. An exploratory and descriptive research design, with an ethnographic perspective, was employed by means of semi-structured interviews (views on leadership) and questionnaires (occupational history). The results compare positively with the theoretical description of leadership behaviour. Guidelines for leadership development of these nurses were formulated, and should be followed by the necessary capacity building regarding leadership practice by professional nurses.
护理服务运营层面的领导力发展对于应对所需的所有变革至关重要。本研究的目的是在手术室部门的背景下，探索和描述黑人专业护士对领导行为的看法，并确定他们的职业经历对这些看法的影响。采用探索性和描述性研究设计，从人种学角度出发，通过半结构化访谈（关于领导力的看法）和问卷调查（职业经历）来进行研究。研究结果与领导行为的理论描述呈正相关。为这些护士制定了领导力发展指南，专业护士应在领导力实践方面进行必要的能力建设。
