The purpose of this study was to explore professional coaches' perceptions of nurse managers (NMs) and the NM role.
Nurse Managers are often inadequately prepared, developed, and supported in their roles. Professional coaching is a strategy that may prove beneficial to help prepare NMs for their roles.
A qualitative design using researcher-participant interviews of 11 professional coaches provided data regarding coaches' perceptions of NMs and the role development needs.
Coaches reported why they made the decision to coach NMs, why NMs sought coaching services, how the NM experience differed from that of higher level leaders, and what the coaches believed was their most valuable contribution when working with NMs.
Findings suggest that coaches can provide needed support to NMs to maximize their role effectiveness and preparedness.
本研究旨在探讨专业教练对护士长(NMs)及护士长角色的看法。
护士长在其角色方面往往准备不足、发展受限且缺乏支持。专业教练指导是一种可能有助于护士长为其角色做好准备的策略。
采用定性设计,通过对11名专业教练进行研究者-参与者访谈,收集有关教练对护士长的看法及角色发展需求的数据。
教练们报告了他们决定指导护士长的原因、护士长寻求教练服务的原因、护士长的经历与高层领导者的经历有何不同,以及教练们认为在与护士长合作时他们最有价值的贡献是什么。
研究结果表明,教练可以为护士长提供所需支持,以最大限度地提高其角色效能和准备程度。
