This study aimed to clarify nursing leaders' perceptions of nursing leadership education and practice.
Leadership is an essential competency that is required in nursing practice. It is also necessary to pay more attention to the development of nurses' leadership to improve patient safety and outcomes.
Participants were 15 nursing leaders. We adopted qualitative content analysis for data collected through individual and/or focus group interviews and analysed using the process of coding, condensing and categorizing.
The results revealed the following five major themes with categories: (1) nursing leadership-commitment to nurses, the nursing profession and the organisation; (2) nursing leadership abilities-competency and compatibility, personality and traits; (3) importance of nursing leadership education to enhance educational efficiency and to nurture next-generation nursing leaders; (4) difficulties in nursing leadership education: lack of perception and difficulty of implementation; and (5) strategies for nursing leadership education: contents and methods.
Nursing leaders' perception of nursing leadership was extended to nurses, organisations and nursing professions. Competency, capability, innate personality and traits are required nursing abilities that are acquired through education.
Experience and theoretical-based nursing leadership education should be introduced gradually and systematically from the beginning of nurses' careers.
本研究旨在阐明护理领导者对护理领导力教育和实践的看法。
领导力是护理实践中必需的一项能力。为了提高患者的安全性和治疗效果,还需要更加关注护士领导力的发展。
参与者为 15 名护理领导者。我们通过个人和/或焦点小组访谈收集数据,并采用编码、精简和分类的过程进行定性内容分析。
结果揭示了以下五个具有类别特征的主要主题:(1)护理领导力——对护士、护理职业和组织的承诺;(2)护理领导力能力——胜任力和兼容性、个性和特质;(3)护理领导力教育的重要性——提高教育效率和培养下一代护理领导者;(4)护理领导力教育的困难:缺乏认识和实施困难;(5)护理领导力教育的策略:内容和方法。
护理领导者对护理领导力的看法扩展到了护士、组织和护理职业。胜任力、能力、内在个性和特质是通过教育获得的护理必备能力。
应从护士职业生涯的开始逐步、系统地引入经验和基于理论的护理领导力教育。
