A discussion of the concepts of leadership and emotional intelligence in nursing and midwifery education and practice.
The need for emotionally intelligent leadership in the health professions is acknowledged internationally throughout the nursing and midwifery literature. The concepts of emotional intelligence and emotional-social intelligence have emerged as important factors for effective leadership in the healthcare professions and require further exploration and discussion. This paper will explore these concepts and discuss their importance in the healthcare setting with reference to current practices in the UK, Ireland and internationally.
Discussion paper.
A search of published evidence from 1990-2015 using key words (as outlined below) was undertaken from which relevant sources were selected to build an informed discussion.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING/MIDWIFERY: Fostering emotionally intelligent leadership in nursing and midwifery supports the provision of high quality and compassionate care. Globally, leadership has important implications for all stakeholders in the healthcare professions with responsibility for maintaining high standards of care. This includes all grades of nurses and midwives, students entering the professions, managerial staff, academics and policy makers.
This paper discusses the conceptual models of leadership and emotional intelligence and demonstrates an important link between the two. Further robust studies are required for ongoing evaluation of the different models of emotional intelligence and their link with effective leadership behaviour in the healthcare field internationally. This is of particular significance for professional undergraduate education to promote ongoing compassionate, safe and high quality standards of care.
讨论护理和助产学教育及实践中的领导力和情商概念。
在护理和助产学文献中，国际上都承认卫生专业人员需要具备情商领导能力。情感智力和情感-社会智力的概念已成为医疗保健专业有效领导的重要因素，需要进一步探讨和讨论。本文将探讨这些概念，并参考英国、爱尔兰和国际上的当前实践，讨论它们在医疗环境中的重要性。
讨论论文。
使用以下关键词（如下所述）对 1990 年至 2015 年发表的证据进行了搜索，并从中选择了相关来源，以进行有根据的讨论。
对护理/助产学的意义：在护理和助产学中培养情商领导能力有助于提供高质量和富有同情心的护理。在全球范围内，领导力对医疗保健专业的所有利益相关者都有重要影响，他们有责任保持高标准的护理。这包括各级护士和助产妇、进入这些职业的学生、管理工作人员、学者和政策制定者。
本文讨论了领导力和情商的概念模型，并展示了两者之间的重要联系。需要进行更多强有力的研究，以持续评估国际医疗领域不同的情商模型及其与有效领导行为之间的关系。这对于专业本科教育尤其重要，有助于促进持续的富有同情心、安全和高质量的护理标准。
