Summary
A leadership development program using 360-degree feedback significantly improved head nurses' knowledge and practices. This nursing leadership training enhances healthcare quality and organizational performance.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Nursing Leadership
- Organizational Development
Background:
- Nursing leadership is vital for quality healthcare delivery.
- Many nurse leaders lack formal leadership training, impacting effectiveness.
- This study assesses a leadership program's impact on head nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effect of a leadership development program on head nurses' leadership practices.
- To determine if 360-degree feedback enhances leadership skills in nursing management.
- To measure improvements in leadership knowledge and application.
Main Methods:
- True-experimental design in three healthcare institutions.
- 80 head nurses (40 intervention, 40 control) participated.
- A six-week leadership program with 360-degree feedback was used, with data collected via questionnaires and the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI).
Main Results:
- The intervention group showed significant improvements in leadership knowledge and practices.
- Knowledge scores increased substantially post-intervention and at follow-up.
- Self, supervisor, and staff assessments of leadership practices showed significant positive changes.
Conclusions:
- The leadership development program effectively enhanced head nurses' leadership knowledge and practices.
- Such programs can improve healthcare leadership capabilities, patient care, and organizational performance.
- Future research should explore long-term impacts and group homogeneity.
