Abstract

Background: Transformational management (TM) focuses on the characteristics and behaviors required for a manager to empower and motivate team members. Nursing managers and leaders who practice TM mostly demonstrate varying degrees of transformational characteristics. Objectives: This study aimed to explain the characteristics of nursing managers in TM. Methods: In this study, we used the qualitative content analysis method. Twenty-two nursing managers were selected through purposive sampling within April 2022 to September 2023. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. Data analysis followed the technique recommended by Graneheim and Lundman (2020). All interview sessions were recorded, transcribed in a Word file, and subsequently entered and analyzed in MAXQDA (2020). Results: After analyzing the data and extracting 423 open codes, seven subcategories and three final categories emerged regarding the characteristics required for nursing managers in TM. The identified characteristics in this study include the creation of a transformational culture, an ethics-oriented approach, and institutionalization of changes. Conclusions: By identifying and applying the characteristics essential to TM, nursing managers can initiate valuable changes. This, in turn, leads to transformation within their management style, the nursing profession, and the improvement of health services.

解释转型管理中护理管理者的特点：定性研究

背景：变革型管理（TM）侧重于管理者授权和激励团队成员所需的特征和行为。实行变革管理的护理管理者和领导者大多表现出不同程度的变革特征。研究目的本研究旨在解释护理管理者在 TM 中的特征。研究方法本研究采用定性内容分析法。在 2022 年 4 月至 2023 年 9 月期间，通过目的性抽样选取了 22 名护理管理者。采用半结构式访谈收集数据。数据分析采用了 Graneheim 和 Lundman（2020 年）推荐的技术。所有访谈都进行了记录，并转录到 Word 文件中，随后在 MAXQDA（2020）中进行输入和分析。结果：在对数据进行分析并提取了 423 个开放代码后，得出了有关技术管理中护理管理者所需特征的七个子类别和三个最终类别。本研究确定的特征包括创建转型文化、以道德为导向的方法以及变革的制度化。结论：通过识别和应用技术管理的基本特征，护理管理者可以发起有价值的变革。这反过来又会导致他们的管理风格、护理专业和医疗服务的改善。
