Community and student demand for relevant nursing leadership graduate programs provided the impetus for this study. The aims were to identify components of highly competent nursing leadership, and strategies to integrate those components into education and practice. Nursing leaders gathered in five focus groups. A semi-structured interview guide was used to elicit narratives about nursing leadership. Interpretive analysis proceeded from identification of themes to uncovering of paradigm cases. Essential nursing leadership competencies comprised communication skills such as listening, conflict resolution, the ability to communicate a vision, motivate, and inspire. Additionally, leaders needed technological adroitness, fiscal dexterity, and the courage to be proactive during rapid change. Implications included a revision in the leadership focus of the nursing masters program, and the necessity that nurse retention should be enhanced by better educated nurse leaders who are grounded in practice and ready to provide a vision for the future.
社区和学生对相关护理领导力研究生项目的需求推动了本研究。其目的是确定高素质护理领导力的组成部分，以及将这些组成部分融入教育和实践的策略。护理领导者们聚集在五个焦点小组中。使用了一份半结构化访谈指南来引出有关护理领导力的叙述。解释性分析从确定主题开始，进而揭示范例案例。护理领导力的基本能力包括沟通技巧，如倾听、解决冲突、传达愿景、激励和鼓舞的能力。此外，领导者还需要技术娴熟、财务灵活，以及在快速变革期间积极主动的勇气。其意义包括对护理硕士项目的领导力重点进行修订，以及有必要通过接受过更好教育、立足实践并能为未来提供愿景的护士领导者来提高护士留任率。
