Abstract

Aim: This study explores the experiences of mentors and mentees participating in a mentor program for nurses in leadership positions, aiming to identify areas for program improvement.

Design and methods: A qualitative approach was used, with semi-structured interviews conducted with 20 nurses in leadership roles. The participants, 10 mentees and 10 mentors, were involved in the Norwegian Nurses Organization's "Mentor Program for Nurses as Leaders". Thematic analysis was applied to the data.

Results: Participants in the mentorship program reported increased leadership awareness, stronger motivation, better stress-coping mechanisms, and greater confidence as leaders. They received valuable feedback and support from their mentors, boosting their motivation to pursue leadership roles. Both mentees and mentors expressed a desire for a longer program and emphasized the importance of networking opportunities, along with the need for predictability and long-term planning to improve program effectiveness.

Conclusion: Participants reported that the mentorship program increased their awareness, motivation, coping skills, and confidence as leaders, encouraging them to pursue leadership roles. The results show that the NNO's mentor program positively influences leadership aspirations of new nurse leaders, with potential for further development in networking and program duration.

增强领导力:通过针对担任领导职务的护士的指导计划实现成长与洞察之旅。
目的:本研究探讨了指导者和被指导者参与领导岗位护士指导者计划的经验,旨在确定计划改进的领域:采用定性方法,对 20 名担任领导职务的护士进行了半结构化访谈。参与者包括10名被指导者和10名指导者,他们都参与了挪威护士组织的 "护士领导者指导计划"。对数据进行了主题分析:结果:参加导师计划的人员表示,作为领导者,他们的领导意识得到了提高,动力得到了加强,压力应对机制得到了改善,自信心得到了增强。他们从导师那里获得了宝贵的反馈和支持,从而增强了追求领导角色的动力。被指导者和指导者都表示希望项目时间更长一些,并强调了交流机会的重要性,以及提高项目有效性的可预测性和长期规划的必要性:参与者表示,导师计划提高了他们作为领导者的意识、动力、应对技能和信心,鼓励他们继续担任领导角色。研究结果表明,国家护士组织的导师计划对新任护士领导者的领导抱负产生了积极影响,在网络建设和计划持续时间方面还有进一步发展的潜力。

期刊介绍: Efficient and successful modern healthcare depends on a growing group of professionals working together as an interdisciplinary team. However, many forces shape the delivery of healthcare; changes are being driven by the markets, transformations in concepts of health and wellbeing, technology and research and discovery. Dynamic leadership will guide these necessary transformations. The Journal of Healthcare Leadership is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on leadership for the healthcare professions. The publication strives to amalgamate current and future healthcare professionals and managers by providing key insights into leadership progress and challenges to improve patient care. The journal aspires to inform key decision makers and those professionals with ambitions of leadership and management; it seeks to connect professionals who are engaged in similar endeavours and to provide wisdom from those working in other industries. Senior and trainee doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, medical students, healthcare managers and allied leaders are invited to contribute to this publication
