This study protocol describes two randomised feasibility trials that will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an online training course to improve evidence-based leadership competences among nurse leaders working in hospitals in Finland and China.
Two randomised, parallel-group studies will be conducted separately: one in Finland (n=140) and one in China (n=160). Nurse leaders who fulfil the eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated (1:1) to participate in either the online evidence-based leadership training or conventional online training (reading material only). The primary outcomes will be acceptance of the online course (logging into the platform) and adherence in the online course (returned course tasks and drop-out rate of the participants). The secondary outcomes will be acceptance of the study regarding recruitment, feasibility of the eligibility criteria and outcome measures and potential effectiveness of the online course on leadership skills, evidence-based knowledge, attitudes, practice, self-efficacy, self-esteem and intention to leave. In addition, the feedback will be asked after the course.
Two separate trials have received ethical clearance from local ethics committees (12/2022 in Finland, E2021167 in China). Permission to conduct the study will be granted by hospital authorities. All participants will provide electronic informed consent before baseline data are collected. The trial results will be published locally, nationally and internationally in professional and peer-reviewed journals, and shared at national and international meetings and conferences.

本研究方案描述了两项随机可行性试验，旨在评估一项在线培训课程在提高芬兰和中国医院护士领导者循证领导能力方面的可行性和初步效果。
将分别在芬兰（n=140）和中国（n=160）进行两项随机、平行组研究。符合入选标准的护士领导者将被随机分配（1:1）参加在线循证领导力培训或常规在线培训（仅阅读材料）。主要结局指标为接受在线课程（登录平台）和在线课程的依从性（完成课程任务和参与者的退出率）。次要结局指标为研究对招募的接受程度、入选标准和结局测量的可行性以及在线课程对领导技能、循证知识、态度、实践、自我效能感、自尊和离职意向的潜在效果。此外，还将在课程结束后征求反馈意见。
两项独立的试验均已获得当地伦理委员会的伦理批准（芬兰 12/2022，中国 E2021167）。医院管理部门将批准进行该研究。所有参与者将在收集基线数据之前提供电子知情同意书。试验结果将在当地、国家和国际专业和同行评审期刊上发表，并在国家和国际会议上分享。
