The aim of this study was to identify the challenges, barriers, and solutions for conducting nursing administration and leadership science (NALS) research.
Evidence from leadership science should be at the forefront of nurse leaders' decision making. Yet, challenges remain in building the evidence and moving it into nursing administration and leadership practice.
This study used a Delphi technique with open-ended questions and direct content analysis to evaluate survey responses of members of the Association for Leadership Science in Nursing and American Organization for Nursing Leadership.
Open-ended responses were coded to yield super categories and supportive codes for areas with limited evidence to guide leadership practice and the challenges for conducting NALS research.
These findings provide future directions for continuously driving NALS research and for building and leveraging leadership science to support nursing administration decision making.
本研究旨在确定开展护理管理与领导科学（NALS）研究的挑战、障碍和解决方案。
领导科学的证据应成为护士领导者决策的首要依据。然而，在构建证据并将其应用于护理管理和领导实践方面仍然存在挑战。
本研究采用德尔菲技术，使用开放式问题和直接内容分析，对护理领导科学协会和美国护理领导组织成员的调查回复进行评估。
对开放式回复进行编码，得出指导领导实践和开展 NALS 研究面临挑战的有限证据领域的超级类别和支持性代码。
这些发现为持续推动 NALS 研究以及构建和利用领导科学为护理管理决策提供支持提供了未来方向。
