This study aimed to understand the experience of female Hispanic nurses in formal leadership roles.
Research has identified that a diverse nursing leadership workforce is essential to providing optimal patient care. Little is known about the phenomenon of minority nurse leaders, particularly female Hispanic nurses in leadership roles.
Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology guided the interviews of 15 female Hispanic nurses in leadership roles.
Three themes were generated that described the environment in which leaders lived: family, culture, and healthcare organization. Four phenomenological themes were identified: weaving my life fabric, my inner dialogue, weight on my shoulders, and paving the way.
The study findings highlight the importance of a diverse and inclusive nursing leadership workforce. By proactively addressing equal opportunities, reducing barriers to career advancement, and developing strategies to support and encourage minority nurses, organizations and communities can recruit and retain qualified underrepresented minority nurse leaders.
本研究旨在了解西班牙裔女性护士在正式领导角色中的体验。
研究表明,多样化的护理领导层对于提供最佳患者护理至关重要。关于少数族裔护士领导者的现象,特别是担任领导职务的西班牙裔女性护士,知之甚少。
里克尔的解释学现象学指导了 15 名担任领导职务的西班牙裔女性护士的访谈。
生成了三个主题,描述了领导者所处的环境:家庭、文化和医疗保健组织。确定了四个现象学主题:编织我的生活织物、我的内心对话、肩上的重担和铺平道路。
研究结果强调了多样化和包容性护理领导层的重要性。通过积极解决平等机会问题、减少职业发展障碍以及制定支持和鼓励少数族裔护士的策略,组织和社区可以招募和留住合格的代表性不足的少数族裔护士领导者。
