Abstract
Background: Nurses work in hospitals and experience periods of burnout. One of the known ways to recover from burnout is learning about leadership.
Method: An integrative review was conducted to answer the following question: How do direct care nurses learn about leadership? Searches were conducted with CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane. After data extraction was completed, 18 resources were analyzed.
Results: Based on data extraction, education and mentorship were the two primary ways that direct care nurses learned about leadership. Most articles used concepts from Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and transformational leadership.
Conclusion: There is limited research on how direct care nurses learn about leadership. However, two major themes were identified: (a) personal and interpersonal leadership and (b) transformational leadership. Direct care nurses can learn about leadership by incorporating education and mentorship into their nursing practice. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(3):99-103.].
