Global health highlights the transnational determinants, issues, and possible solutions for improving health outcomes. Addressing global health issues requires population-based approaches coupled with individualized healthcare across settings, including strategies for achieving health equity. Designing and implementing global health solutions requires competent nurse leaders who can facilitate multi-disciplinary collaborations, engage in policy development, and lead advocacies that support the global health agenda. Thus, this paper examined the stakeholder perspectives that informed the development of a leadership program on global health for nurse leaders in the Western Pacific Region (WPR).
The study used a descriptive qualitative approach to generate key recommendations for a context-appropriate, multi-country capacity-building program for nurse leaders on global health. The Analysis Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model and reflexive approach were employed to guide the development of the training design. Twenty-five nurse leaders from World Health Organization Collaborating Centers (WHO-CC) in the Western Pacific participated. Qualitative data were collected from participant feedback and post-activity sessions throughout program implementation.
Thematic analysis of stakeholder data revealed that the program (1) capitalized on equipping nurse leaders with the concepts related to global health and developing competencies in leadership, policy engagement, and advocacy; (2) ensured learning strategies by having participants from varied contexts and experiences; and (3) reflected on the strengths and limitations of the use of the online platform.
This paper contributed to the growing literature on global health and programs that support addressing global health issues. The findings underscored the urgent need to capacitate nurses in leadership positions who contribute to addressing emerging issues in global health. The paper recommended improvements in the design and implementation of the Global Health Nursing Leadership Program to engage more nurse leaders across the region and enhance content and delivery.
全球健康突出了改善健康结果的跨国决定因素、问题及可能的解决方案。解决全球健康问题需要基于人群的方法，以及跨环境的个性化医疗保健，包括实现健康公平的策略。设计和实施全球健康解决方案需要有能力的护士领导者，他们能够促进多学科合作、参与政策制定，并领导支持全球健康议程的宣传活动。因此，本文研究了利益相关者的观点，这些观点为西太平洋地区护士领导者的全球健康领导力项目的发展提供了参考。
本研究采用描述性定性方法，为适合特定环境的多国护士领导者全球健康能力建设项目生成关键建议。采用分析、设计、开发、实施和评估（ADDIE）模型及反思方法来指导培训设计的开发。来自西太平洋地区世界卫生组织合作中心（WHO-CC）的25名护士领导者参与了研究。在项目实施过程中，从参与者反馈和活动后环节收集定性数据。
对利益相关者数据的主题分析表明，该项目（1）注重培养护士领导者的全球健康相关概念，并发展其在领导力、政策参与和宣传方面的能力；（2）通过让来自不同背景和经验的参与者参与，确保学习策略；（3）反思了在线平台使用的优势和局限性。
本文为关于全球健康及支持解决全球健康问题的项目的不断增长的文献做出了贡献。研究结果强调了迫切需要使担任领导职务的护士具备应对全球健康新出现问题的能力。本文建议改进全球健康护理领导力项目的设计和实施，以吸引该地区更多的护士领导者，并加强内容和授课方式。
