Nurses' conscientiousness and moral courage are essential to providing high quality care. Leadership is one of the factors that may be very effective in strengthening these characteristics in nurses. Among leadership styles, the ethical leadership has a special value. This study investigated the relationship between ethical leadership of nursing managers, conscientiousness, and moral courage from the nurses' perspective.
In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 180 nurses working in hospitals of Yazd, central Iran, were selected through simple random sampling. Three questionnaires: the "Ethical Leadership", "Conscientiousness", and "Moral Courage" were used to collect data. Data were analyzed with SPSS20 using descriptive and analytical statistics.
There was a positive and significant relationship between conscientiousness and moral courage with ethical leadership from the nurses' perspective (P < 0.05). The relationship between conscientiousness and moral courage was also significant (P < 0.05). The regression analysis showed that ethical leadership can be considered as a predictor of conscientiousness and moral courage.
The relationship between ethical leadership and conscientiousness and moral courage suggests that nursing managers, by adopting such an approach in leadership, can increase conscientiousness and moral courage in nurses.
护士的尽责性和道德勇气对于提供高质量护理至关重要。领导力是在增强护士这些特质方面可能非常有效的因素之一。在领导风格中,道德领导具有特殊价值。本研究从护士的角度调查了护理管理者的道德领导、尽责性和道德勇气之间的关系。
在这项横断面描述性研究中,通过简单随机抽样选取了伊朗中部亚兹德医院的180名护士。使用“道德领导”“尽责性”和“道德勇气”三份问卷收集数据。使用SPSS20对数据进行描述性和分析性统计分析。
从护士的角度来看,尽责性和道德勇气与道德领导之间存在积极且显著的关系(P < 0.05)。尽责性与道德勇气之间的关系也很显著(P < 0.05)。回归分析表明,道德领导可被视为尽责性和道德勇气的预测指标。
道德领导与尽责性和道德勇气之间的关系表明,护理管理者通过采用这种领导方式,可以提高护士的尽责性和道德勇气。
