Geropsychiatric nursing (GPN) leaders in long-term care settings have a 25-year tradition of innovation that has strikingly improved mental health and quality of life for older adult residents. The impact of the Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) on the mental health of older adult residents and today's evolving health care systems requires additional GPN leaders well-prepared to advocate, plan, and deliver care for this vulnerable population. In this article, the authors discuss GPN leadership in the context of its history, the role of professional organizations, and educational competencies. A leadership exemplar is provided as well as recommendations for clinical practice and research.
长期护理机构中的老年精神病护理（GPN）领导者拥有 25 年的创新传统，这显著改善了老年居民的心理健康和生活质量。2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对老年居民的心理健康和当今不断发展的医疗保健系统产生了影响，这需要更多有充分准备的 GPN 领导者来为这一弱势群体倡导、计划和提供护理。本文作者讨论了 GPN 领导力的历史背景、专业组织的作用以及教育能力。本文还提供了领导力的典范，以及对临床实践和研究的建议。
