There is an urgent need for Latino leaders in nursing, yet little has been written about Latino leaders and leadership. Leadership comes with challenges and opportunities in particular for Latino nurses who contend with specific cultural imperatives and obstacles. In this article, I review the current healthcare environment and propose a framework for Latino nursing leadership within the context of current challenges and opportunities and my personal experience in nursing. This framework is meant to serve as a guide for the development of Latino nurses who will improve the health and well-being of those in the most vulnerable communities by utilizing their cultural strengths and professional skills to deliver quality and compassionate care.
护理领域迫切需要拉丁裔领导者,但关于拉丁裔领导者及领导力的著述却很少。领导力伴随着挑战与机遇,对于那些应对特定文化要求和障碍的拉丁裔护士而言尤其如此。在本文中,我审视了当前的医疗环境,并结合当前的挑战与机遇以及我个人的护理经历,提出了一个拉丁裔护理领导力框架。该框架旨在为拉丁裔护士的发展提供指导,这些护士将利用自身的文化优势和专业技能,提供高质量且富有同情心的护理,从而改善最脆弱社区人群的健康和福祉。
