Nurse-led digital transformation promotes nurses' participation and leadership in digital health. It also aims to improve the quality of care and patient satisfaction. The objective is to describe the priorities of nursing managers in the field of digital health and their beliefs related to the digital transformation led by nurses. The methodology used is a qualitative-descriptive study. The data were collected by means of the implementation of playful-reflective workshops. Open and/or closed questions were used, to which participants responded using their mobile phones, by capturing QR codes. A group of 32 nursing managers from the Spanish private hospital sector were invited to participate by means of purposive sampling. Data were analysed using the Braun and Clarke thematic analysis performed by two researchers independently. Of the 32 participants, 25 were women. The average age was 38 years. The main utility of the use of technology in health environments that they noted was innovation, followed by communication. Another utility mentioned repeatedly was that of visibility, considering digital media as a way to show the population the role of a nurse. They also noted time savings and error reduction. Moreover, as barriers to the implementation of technology, participants pointed out the lack of skills or equipment, institutional support, and the care burden. This study shows that nursing managers are aware of the need and benefits that nurse-led digital transformation can bring about. These findings can pave the way for promoting a nurse-led digital leadership culture.
由护士主导的数字转型促进了护士在数字健康领域的参与和领导力。其目标还包括提高护理质量和患者满意度。本研究旨在描述护理管理者在数字健康领域的优先事项以及他们对护士主导的数字转型的看法。所采用的方法是定性描述性研究。数据通过开展趣味性反思工作坊来收集。使用了开放式和/或封闭式问题，参与者通过扫描二维码用手机进行回答。通过目的抽样邀请了32名来自西班牙私立医院部门的护理管理者参与。由两名研究人员独立进行布劳恩和克拉克主题分析来分析数据。32名参与者中，25名是女性。平均年龄为38岁。他们指出，在健康环境中使用技术的主要效用是创新，其次是沟通。反复提到的另一个效用是知名度，即将数字媒体视为向公众展示护士角色的一种方式。他们还提到节省时间和减少错误。此外，作为技术实施的障碍，参与者指出缺乏技能或设备、机构支持以及护理负担。本研究表明，护理管理者意识到护士主导的数字转型能够带来的需求和益处。这些研究结果可为促进护士主导的数字领导文化铺平道路。
