Abstract
Nurse burnout and attrition are challenges facing the entire health care system. This study investigates the potential of self-leadership to bolster work engagement among nephrology registered nurses (RNs) working in dialysis units, an area in which research remains scant. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, we measured the perceptions of self-leadership and work engagement of nephrology RNs working in hemodialysis and peritoneal units, and explored the relationship between these variables. Data were collected from a social media private group for nurses working in dialysis. Findings indicate elevated levels of self-leadership and work engagement among nephrology RNs working in dialysis units, with a statistically significant positive correlation - as perceptions of self-leadership increased, so did nurses' work engagement. Results of this study and implications for professional practice are addressed.

The Nephrology Nursing Journal is a refereed clinical and scientific resource that provides current information on wide variety of subjects to facilitate the practice of professional nephrology nursing. Its purpose is to disseminate information on the latest advances in research, practice, and education to nephrology nurses to positively influence the quality of care they provide.
The Nephrology Nursing Journal is designed to meet the educational and information needs of nephrology nurses in a variety of roles at all levels of practice. It also serves as a source for nonnephrology nurses. Its content expands the knowledge base for nephrology nurses, stimulates professional growth, guides research-based practice, presents new technological developments, and provides a forum for review of critical issues promoting the advancement of nephrology nursing practice.
