Quantum organizations are referred where stakeholders know how to access the infinite potential of the quantum field. Viewing healthcare organizations from perspective of quantum theory suggest new approaches into management techniques for effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services. This research is aimed to determine the quantum skills, quantum leadership characteristics and functions of Tehran University of Medical Sciences hospitals' nursing administrators. A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was conducted among 25 nursing administrators of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) hospitals, Tehran, Iran. The research tool for data collection was a self-constructed questionnaire that measured the quantum skills, quantum leadership characteristics and functions of TUMS hospitals' nursing administrators. The validity of questionnaire was confirmed by 5 management science experts and its reliability was performed by using test-retest method yielded a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.90. Data were collected and analyzed by SPSS software and t-test statistical methods. The results of this research showed that all respondents had desired quantum skills (75.71±5.98), quantum leadership characteristics (82.01±6.77), and quantum leadership functions (78.57±6.28) and total quantum leadership (78.76±4.50). Also, passing management training courses of the respondents was significantly correlated with their quantum leadership. Iranian healthcare organizations require quantum leadership that provides an important resource to advance Iranian nursing leadership to the organizational excellence. We hope Iranian hospitals' nursing leaders who have quantum skills potentially, present a highly developed sense of self and the ability to improve nursing care outcomes in these hospitals.
量子组织是指利益相关者知道如何获取量子场无限潜力的组织。从量子理论的角度看待医疗保健组织，为有效且高效地提供医疗服务的管理技术提供了新方法。本研究旨在确定德黑兰医科大学附属医院护理管理人员的量子技能、量子领导特征和职能。在伊朗德黑兰的德黑兰医科大学（TUMS）附属医院的25名护理管理人员中进行了一项横断面、描述性和分析性研究。数据收集的研究工具是一份自行构建的问卷，该问卷测量了TUMS附属医院护理管理人员的量子技能、量子领导特征和职能。问卷的有效性由5位管理科学专家确认，其信度通过重测法进行，得到的克朗巴赫α系数为0.90。数据通过SPSS软件和t检验统计方法进行收集和分析。本研究结果表明，所有受访者都具备所需的量子技能（75.71±5.98）、量子领导特征（82.01±6.77）、量子领导职能（78.57±6.28）和总体量子领导力（78.76±4.50）。此外，受访者参加管理培训课程与他们的量子领导力显著相关。伊朗的医疗保健组织需要量子领导力，这为将伊朗护理领导力提升至组织卓越水平提供了一项重要资源。我们希望那些潜在具备量子技能的伊朗医院护理领导者，展现出高度发达的自我意识以及改善这些医院护理服务结果的能力。
