Challenges in Everyday Leadership Capabilities Conversations with Senior Clinical Nurses

Abstract Senior Charge Nurses SCNs are faced with an increasingly wide range of responsibilities as part of their workload and consequently devote less time to patient care. It is noted that Leadership and organizational management are also important, although adequate training, education, resources, and support to realize these ambitions lag needs. Design A mixed method focus group informed by a well established leadership framework was used to explore senior clinical nurses perceptions of their Leadership. Methods Purposive sampling of SCNs working in Scotland was employed. Data sources included a small focus group and one to one face to face interview. 142 SCNs participated in this interview from 2000 to 2013. Results Twelve main themes were identified Patient focused leadership and Organization focused leadership These two themes were further described through domains of Leadership and capabilities that articulate confidence, quality improvement, and team performance.
