This study aimed at assessing and comparing perceived leadership competencies of doctors occupying managerial positions in a public and various private hospitals in Jos metropolis of Plateau state, Nigeria.
This was a cross-sectional, comparative multicenter study. It involved self-assessment by 27 doctors occupying managerial positions in public and private hospitals within Jos metropolis and peer-assessments by 89 health and nonhealth professionals who worked with the doctor-managers at the time of the study. The National Center for Healthcare Leadership competency model was used as the assessment tool.
We found that perceived leadership competencies were low for all doctor-managers irrespective of their hospital affiliation. Distributions of these competencies varied with the private sector showing superiority for certain competencies.
Perceived leadership competencies were low for the doctor-managers assessed. This calls for an innovative approach to the training and practice of health management in Jos Metropolis.
本研究旨在评估和比较尼日利亚高原州乔斯市公立医院和各类私立医院中担任管理职位的医生的领导能力认知情况。
这是一项横断面、多中心比较研究。研究对象包括乔斯市公立医院和私立医院中担任管理职位的27名医生的自我评估，以及89名在研究期间与医生管理者共事的卫生专业人员和非卫生专业人员的同行评估。采用国家医疗保健领导力中心能力模型作为评估工具。
我们发现，无论医院所属类型如何，所有医生管理者的领导能力认知水平都较低。这些能力的分布因私营部门在某些能力方面表现出优势而有所不同。
接受评估的医生管理者的领导能力认知水平较低。这就需要在乔斯市采取创新的方法进行卫生管理培训和实践。
