In the wake of the pandemic and faculty shortage, strong academic nurse leaders (ANL) are needed to ensure quality education and professional standards are upheld while preparing future nurses.
This team explored experiences and perspectives of ANLs during the pandemic in order to better understand the difficulties they faced, their triumphs and failures, and lessons learned.
DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This descriptive-exploratory qualitative study captured leadership experiences of 11 academic leaders from a large, urban, Midwestern college of nursing.
Three focus group sessions were conducted virtually using a structured question guide and content analysis of transcripts.
Three themes emerged from analysis: Technology, Time and Change, and Well-being. Content analysis also revealed leadership strategies and "pearls of wisdom" offered by participants.
ANLs faced many challenges during the pandemic that required them to remain steady and present, while practicing regular and effective communication to foster strong relationships. As higher education and healthcare environments develop more complexity and remain constantly changing, leaders must be strategic, emotionally intelligent, and innovative in their roles.
在疫情和师资短缺的情况下，需要强大的学术护士领导者（ANL）来确保在培养未来护士的同时维持高质量教育和专业标准。
该团队探讨了疫情期间学术护士领导者的经历和观点，以便更好地了解他们所面临的困难、成功与失败以及吸取的教训。
设计、背景和参与者：这项描述性探索性定性研究记录了来自中西部一所大型城市护理学院的11位学术领导者的领导经历。
使用结构化问题指南通过虚拟方式进行了三次焦点小组会议，并对会议记录进行了内容分析。
分析得出了三个主题：技术、时间与变化以及幸福感。内容分析还揭示了参与者提供的领导策略和“智慧结晶”。
学术护士领导者在疫情期间面临诸多挑战，这要求他们保持稳健和在场，同时进行定期且有效的沟通以建立牢固的关系。随着高等教育和医疗环境变得更加复杂且不断变化，领导者在其角色中必须具备策略性、情商和创新性。
