Abstract
Aims
To explore a) pre-registration students' self-perceptions of clinical leadership behaviours and b) differences in students' self-perceptions of leadership behaviours between two countries (UK and Israel).
Background
Effective leadership has been associated with high-quality and compassionate care provision in health and social care contexts. This has led to a common acceptance that teaching leadership in nursing education is essential if students are to develop competencies in this area. Worldwide, there is limited research on nursing students' perception of clinical leadership behaviours as well as on the development of leadership behaviours during the study years.
Design and methods
A cross-sectional survey design was used among two convenience samples of UK and Israeli pre-registration nursing students. Closed questionnaires were uploaded in the format of a commercial internet survey provider (Qualtrics.com) and distributed through the virtual learning platforms in the two participating universities. In total 656 students were invited to participate and the response rates were 28.1 % (Israel) and 17.9 % (England).
Results
Overall, 140 students completed the questionnaires. Significant differences were found between the two sites in the leadership dimensions "Emotional Intelligence" and "Impact and Influence" (p < .05), with UK students scoring higher than Israeli students. Among the Israeli sample, significant differences were found in leadership dimensions according to years of study, with higher scores reported in the 3rd and 4th year students compared with the 1st and 2nd Year students in the referred dimensions (p < .05).
Conclusions
Differences in students' clinical leadership perception exist between the two cohorts examined. Nurse educators should expand international research on this subject to identify possible antecedents in developing clinical leadership behaviours. At the same time, there is a need to continue efforts to enhance the development of clinical leadership behaviours during all study years through curriculum updating to prepare future nurses better to provide quality, safe and person-centered care.
期刊介绍：
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
