Summary
Associate nurse unit managers can foster staff development through direct guidance. A validated 40-item self-checklist helps them evaluate and enhance their role in promoting nursing professional growth and quality care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Professional Development
- Healthcare Management
- Clinical Education
Background:
- Direct guidance in clinical settings is crucial for nurses' professional growth.
- Associate nurse unit managers (ANUMs) play a dual role in patient care and management, serving as potential role models.
- Identifying effective ANUM behaviors for staff development is essential for improving nursing quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify effective behaviors of associate nurse unit managers that promote staff development.
- To develop a valid self-checklist for ANUMs to evaluate their staff development behaviors.
Main Methods:
- A 53-item assessment tool for staff development behaviors was created.
- Expert evaluation via a Delphi survey (252 participants) and a questionnaire survey with ANUMs in Japan (124 participants) were conducted.
- Item appropriateness was assessed based on agreement and acceptance rates.
Main Results:
- The Delphi survey achieved over 90% agreement on items.
- ANUMs showed high acceptance rates (82.6-99.2%) for 40 of the 53 developed items.
- A 40-item self-checklist for ANUM staff development behaviors was validated.
Conclusions:
- The validated 40-item self-checklist provides a practical tool for ANUMs.
- This checklist can support ANUMs in promoting staff development within clinical settings.
- Utilizing the checklist can contribute to the overall enhancement of nursing quality.
