To explore the nurse managers' perspectives about the role and application of self-awareness in managerial practice.
Effectively accomplishing complex roles and maintaining a healthy work environment requires nurse managers to be resilient and sustain positive relationships with nurses and interdisciplinary teams. Self-awareness is an essential attribute for building relationships and creating a healthier work environment.
A descriptive qualitative design was used. We conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of ten managers working in two tertiary hospitals. Reflexive thematic analysis was used for data analysis.
Four themes were generated: "maximizing potential for overseeing complex management issues; becoming a conscientious and thoughtful manager; using experiential learning for nurturing managerial capabilities; and utilizing self and others' appraisal for discerning practical managerial approaches".
Implementing self-awareness in complex situations is beneficial for nurse managers. It allows them to overcome negative emotions and factors and incorporate ethical and moral reasoning, thereby preventing them from ineffectual management.
Nurse managers should focus on assessing their temperaments and managerial abilities in each complex situation. They should use experiential learning from past experiences for discerning effective actions for managing complex situations.
探讨护士长对自我意识在管理实践中的角色和应用的看法。
有效地完成复杂的角色和维持健康的工作环境需要护士长具有弹性，并与护士和跨学科团队保持积极的关系。自我意识是建立关系和创造更健康工作环境的必要属性。
采用描述性定性设计。我们对在两家三级医院工作的十名护士长进行了有目的的半结构式访谈。使用反思性主题分析进行数据分析。
生成了四个主题：“最大限度地发挥监督复杂管理问题的潜力；成为一个有良知和深思熟虑的管理者；利用经验学习培养管理能力；以及利用自我和他人的评估来辨别实用的管理方法”。
在复杂情况下实施自我意识对护士长有益。它使他们能够克服负面情绪和因素，并纳入伦理和道德推理，从而防止无效管理。
护士长应专注于在每种复杂情况下评估自己的气质和管理能力。他们应该利用过去经验中的体验式学习来辨别管理复杂情况的有效行动。
