Mental health and addictions services are integral to Canada's healthcare system, and yet it is difficult to recruit experienced nurse leaders with advanced practice, management or clinical informatics expertise in this field. Master's-level graduates, aspiring to be mental health nurse leaders, often lack the confidence and experience required to lead quality improvement, advancements in clinical care, service design and technology innovations for improved patient care. This paper describes an initiative that develops nursing leaders through a unique scholarship, internship and mentorship model, which aims to foster confidence, critical thinking and leadership competency development in the mental health and addictions context. The "Mutual Benefits Model" framework was applied in the design and evaluation of the initiative. It outlines how mentee, mentor and organizational needs can drive strategic planning of resource investment, mentorship networks and relevant leadership competency-based learning plans to optimize outcomes. Five-year individual and organizational outcomes are described.
心理健康与成瘾服务是加拿大医疗保健系统不可或缺的一部分,然而,在此领域招募具有高级实践、管理或临床信息学专业知识的经验丰富的护士领导者却很困难。有志成为心理健康护士领导者的硕士学位毕业生,往往缺乏领导质量改进、临床护理进步、服务设计和技术创新以改善患者护理所需的信心和经验。本文描述了一项通过独特的奖学金、实习和指导模式培养护理领导者的倡议,该倡议旨在培养心理健康和成瘾背景下的信心、批判性思维和领导能力发展。“互利模式”框架被应用于该倡议的设计和评估。它概述了学员、导师和组织需求如何推动资源投资、指导网络和基于相关领导能力的学习计划的战略规划,以优化成果。描述了五年的个人和组织成果。
