Abstract:
Nurse burnout and attrition are challenges facing the entire health care system. This study investigates the potential of self-leadership to bolster work engagement among nephrology registered nurses (RNs) working in dialysis units, an area in which research remains scant. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, we measured the perceptions of self-leadership and work engagement of nephrology RNs working in hemodialysis and peritoneal units, and explored the relationship between these variables. Data were collected from a social media private group for nurses working in dialysis. Findings indicate elevated levels of self-leadership and work engagement among nephrology RNs working in dialysis units, with a statistically significant positive correlation - as perceptions of self-leadership increased, so did nurses' work engagement. Results of this study and implications for professional practice are addressed.
