To explore the perceptions of early career nursing academics on leadership in academia.
There is growing emphasis on leadership capacity building across all domains of nursing. However, there is limited evidence on leadership capacity in early career academics. This study tested an intervention to develop leadership capacity amongst early career nursing academics in two Australian universities.
A sequential mixed methods design, using online surveys and semi-structured interviews, was used to collect data.
Twenty-three early career nursing academics participated. Most had experience of formal leadership roles and were aware of its importance to them as they developed their academic careers. Participants were able to discuss their own views of themselves as leaders; their perceptions of their own needs for leadership development, and ways in which they could seek to develop further as leaders.
There is a need to provide initial and ongoing opportunities for leadership development amongst nurse academics. These opportunities should be contextualised and recognise factors such as gender, and the effects of structural oppression.
Nurse academics are involved in the preparation of the next generation of clinical leaders and it is imperative that they are able to articulate a clear view of leadership.
探讨初任护理学术人员对学术界领导力的看法。
护理领域对领导能力建设的重视程度日益提高。然而，关于初任学术人员领导力能力的证据有限。本研究在澳大利亚的两所大学测试了一项针对初任护理学术人员领导力能力发展的干预措施。
采用在线调查和半结构化访谈的顺序混合方法设计收集数据。
23 名初任护理学术人员参与了研究。大多数人都有正式领导角色的经验，并意识到领导力对他们发展学术生涯的重要性。参与者能够讨论自己作为领导者的看法；他们对自己领导力发展需求的看法，以及他们可以寻求进一步发展领导力的方式。
有必要为护理学术人员提供领导力发展的初始和持续机会。这些机会应该是背景化的，并认识到性别等因素以及结构压迫的影响。
护理学术人员参与培养下一代临床领导者，他们必须能够清晰地表达对领导力的看法。
