Summary
Technical nurses recognize leadership and systemic view as key responsibilities. However, a gap between theory and practice in nursing education needs addressing for effective management skills development.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Management
- Healthcare Leadership
- Professional Development
Background:
- The role of technical nurses in management is crucial for healthcare organizations.
- Understanding their perceived skills is essential for effective leadership.
- Gaps in nursing education can impact management capabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the knowledge of technical nurses regarding essential general and management skills.
- To identify the core competencies required for the technical manager role.
- To explore the perceived disconnect between theoretical knowledge and practical application in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative case study approach.
- Involved 14 technical nurses.
- Data collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Main Results:
- Key responsibilities identified: leadership, interpersonal relationships, and systemic view.
- A significant finding was the perceived dissociation between theory and practice in nursing education.
- Only three core skills were recognized as essential for the technical manager position.
Conclusions:
- The limited recognition of necessary skills and the theory-practice gap require attention from educational and health institutions.
- Nurses need to develop technical-scientific, socio-educational, and ethical-political skills for effective leadership.
- Addressing these areas can improve organizational outcomes and nursing management effectiveness.
