To explore how nurse managers perceive and experience their role in supporting the well-being of intensive care nurses.
While it is known that nurse manager behaviours affect nurse well-being, literature indicates that intensive care nurses may not receive the support they require. Understanding how nurse managers see their role in supporting nurse well-being is crucial to offer recommendations for improvement.
Qualitative multiple case study design. Twelve semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with nurse managers from Australian intensive care unit settings. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
Nurse manages felt unsure about what their supportive role involved, lacked training on how to support nurse well-being and called for organisational backup to carry out their role effectively. The study also provided insight into the strategies that enabled nurse managers to support nurse well-being.
There is currently no consensus on the role of the nurse manager in supporting nurse well-being resulting in inconsistencies and wide practice variations. Furthermore, nurse managers need support and training if they are required to support nurse well-being.
A clear definition of the nurse manager supportive role describing the purpose and core functions involved in this role must be developed to support nurse well-being.
探讨护士长如何感知和体验其在支持重症监护护士福祉方面的角色。
虽然已知护士长的行为会影响护士的幸福感，但文献表明，重症监护护士可能得不到他们所需的支持。了解护士长如何看待他们在支持护士福祉方面的角色对于提供改进建议至关重要。
定性多案例研究设计。对来自澳大利亚重症监护病房环境的 12 名护士长进行了 12 次半结构化深入访谈。使用主题分析对数据进行分析。
护士长对他们的支持角色所涉及的内容感到不确定，缺乏关于如何支持护士福祉的培训，并呼吁组织支持以有效地履行他们的角色。该研究还深入了解了使护士长能够支持护士福祉的策略。
目前，对于护士长在支持护士福祉方面的角色没有共识，导致实践不一致且存在广泛差异。此外，如果要求护士长支持护士福祉，他们需要支持和培训。
必须制定明确的护士长支持角色定义，描述该角色所涉及的目的和核心功能，以支持护士福祉。
