Licensed practical/vocational nurses (LVNs) play an important role in U.S. nursing homes, with primary responsibility for supervising unlicensed nursing home staff. Research has shown that the relationship between charge nurses and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) has a significant impact on CNA job satisfaction and turnover as well as quality of care, yet nurses rarely receive supervisory training. The purpose of this project was to develop, pilot, and evaluate a leadership/supervisory training program for LVNs. Upon completion of the training program, many LVNs expressed and demonstrated a new understanding of their supervisory leadership and supervisory responsibilities. Directors of staff development are a potential vehicle for supporting LVNs' development as supervisors.
执业护士(LVNs)在美国养老院中发挥着重要作用,主要负责监督无执照的养老院工作人员。研究表明,主管护士与注册护理助理(CNAs)之间的关系对护理助理的工作满意度、人员流动率以及护理质量都有重大影响,然而护士很少接受监督培训。本项目的目的是为执业护士开发、试行并评估一项领导力/监督培训计划。培训计划完成后,许多执业护士表达并展示了对其监督领导能力和监督职责的全新理解。员工发展主管是支持执业护士成长为监督者的一个潜在途径。
