The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between nurse manager (NM) leadership style and safety climate.
Nursing leaders are needed who will change the environment and increase patient safety. Hospital NMs are positioned to impact day-to-day operations. Therefore, it is essential to inform nurse executives regarding the impact of leadership style on patient safety.
A descriptive correlational study was conducted in 41 nursing departments across 9 hospitals. The hospital unit safety climate survey and multifactorial leadership questionnaire were completed by 466 staff nurses. Bivariate and regression analyses were conducted to determine how well leadership style predicted safety climate.
Transformational leadership style was demonstrated as a positive contributor to safety climate, whereas laissez-faire leadership style was shown to negatively contribute to unit socialization and a culture of blame.
Nursing leaders must concentrate on developing transformational leadership skills while also diminishing negative leadership styles.
本研究旨在探讨护士长(NM)的领导风格与安全氛围之间的关系。
需要能够改变环境并提高患者安全的护理领导者。医院护士长对日常运营有影响。因此,告知护理管理人员领导风格对患者安全的影响至关重要。
在9家医院的41个护理部门进行了一项描述性相关性研究。466名护士完成了医院科室安全氛围调查和多因素领导问卷。进行双变量和回归分析以确定领导风格对安全氛围的预测程度。
变革型领导风格被证明对安全氛围有积极贡献,而放任型领导风格则对科室社会化和责备文化有负面影响。
护理领导者必须专注于培养变革型领导技能,同时减少负面领导风格。
