Nursing leadership programs can have a positive impact on organizations and communities. Health equity in nursing requires leaders who parallel the population demographics.
This work evaluated the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Leadership Mentoring Program (LMP) 10 years from its inception. Lessons learned from this evaluation can inform leadership initiatives in nursing and other health professions.
This cross-sectional evaluation applied the Context, Inputs, Process, and Products model to gauge effectiveness of the LMP. All 48 participants were invited to participate.
Thirty-two survey respondents, a 67 % response rate, demonstrated a 767 % increase in extramural scholarship collaborations and promotion to associate and full professor at 43 % and 90 %, respectively. Academic leadership positions to department chair, assistant/associate dean, and dean increased 200 %, 167 %, and 100 %, respectively. Seventy-seven percent of program participants are engaged on boards and committees at local, state, national, and international levels. These roles significantly impact legislative, policy, advocacy, and regulatory efforts, signifying the LMP's influence on broader societal and professional domains.
Identifying clear program outcomes and metrics for leadership program evaluation can advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Sustainable funding models for leadership development will have a high return on investment for health professions.
护理领导力计划可以对组织和社区产生积极影响。护理中的公平健康需要与人口统计数据相匹配的领导者。
这项工作评估了国家护士从业者学院领导指导计划（LMP）从成立开始的 10 年。从这次评估中吸取的经验教训可以为护理和其他卫生专业的领导倡议提供信息。
本横断面评估应用了环境、投入、过程和产品模型，以衡量 LMP 的效果。邀请了所有 48 名参与者参加。
32 名调查受访者，响应率为 67%，显示出在外部奖学金合作方面增加了 767%，并分别晋升为副教授和教授，比例为 43%和 90%。学术领导职位从系主任、助理/副院长和院长增加了 200%、167%和 100%。77%的项目参与者在地方、州、国家和国际层面参与董事会和委员会。这些角色对立法、政策、宣传和监管工作产生了重大影响，表明 LMP 对更广泛的社会和专业领域产生了影响。
确定领导力计划评估的明确计划结果和指标可以推进多样性、公平性和包容性努力。领导发展的可持续资金模式将为卫生专业带来高投资回报。
