The aim of this study was to describe the role preparation and competency development of nurse managers.
Approximately 70 000 nurses are retiring annually. This represents a significant loss of nursing leadership wisdom. Few systematic studies of nurse manager role preparation and competency development have been conducted.
An electronic survey was completed by a national sample of 647 nurse managers managing 964 patient care units in 54 hospitals.
Findings suggest that nurse managers rate themselves as competent for the 1st 6 years as a nurse manager. They begin to reach proficiency by year 7. Experience had the strongest association with nurse manager competence, followed by graduate leadership education.
Nurse executives need to evaluate the bench strength of their nursing leadership talent pool. They need to develop policies and strategies that promote nurse manager competence.
本研究旨在描述护士长的角色准备和能力发展情况。
每年约有70000名护士退休。这意味着护理领导智慧的重大损失。很少有关于护士长角色准备和能力发展的系统性研究。
对来自54家医院、管理964个病人护理单元的647名护士长进行了全国性抽样电子调查。
研究结果表明,护士长在担任护士长的前6年自我评价为胜任。到第7年开始达到熟练水平。经验与护士长能力的关联最为紧密,其次是研究生阶段的领导力教育。
护理管理人员需要评估其护理领导人才库的后备力量。他们需要制定促进护士长能力的政策和策略。
