Abstract

Background: Leadership of nurse education and research has become increasingly challenging over the last decade and remains a global issue affecting nurse managers working in the higher education (HE) sector. Nursing faculties have not been immune from the effects of funding constraints, policy reforms and organisational restructures.

Aim: This scoping review explored what is currently known about the qualities, behaviours and characteristics (core attributes) of nurse disciplinary leads that manage nursing faculties in HE.

Method: Five research questions were identified, and a scoping review method was used to map a wide-ranging set of literature and concepts. Databases were searched using a prospective protocol tool, and an extraction table was created to facilitate content analysis.

Findings: Ten articles that addressed one or more of the research questions were identified. While the literature described a range of core attributes required to lead nursing faculties in HE, clarity and definition of terms used were lacking, and articles were primarily opinion-based and nonevidential.

Discussion: Whilst key leadership core attributes may be transferable, nurse disciplinary leads require specific knowledge of the HE sector to operate effectively in this environment. Mentorship was reported to have a highly positive impact on academic nurse leadership skill development.

Conclusion: Further research is needed to identify opportunities to support the growth and readiness of future generations of nurse disciplinary leads and challenge the current deterrents inhibiting nurse academic career pathways in the Australian and New Zealand HE sectors.

高等教育护士学科领导:范围审查
背景:在过去的十年中,护士教育与研究的领导工作变得越来越具有挑战性,并且仍然是影响在高等教育(HE)部门工作的护士管理人员的一个全球性问题。护理学院也未能幸免于资金限制、政策改革和组织结构调整的影响。 目的:本范围界定综述探讨了目前对管理高等教育护理学院的护士学科带头人的素质、行为和特征(核心属性)的了解。 研究方法确定了五个研究问题,并采用了范围界定综述法来绘制一系列广泛的文献和概念图。使用前瞻性协议工具对数据库进行了检索,并创建了一个提取表以方便内容分析。 研究结果确定了十篇涉及一个或多个研究问题的文章。虽然文献描述了领导高等院校护理学院所需的一系列核心特质,但所使用的术语缺乏清晰度和定义,文章主要以观点为基础且不保密。 讨论:虽然关键的领导核心特质可能是可迁移的,但护士学科带头人需要具备高等院校的特定知识,才能在这种环境中有效运作。据报道,导师制对学术护士领导技能的发展具有非常积极的影响。 结论需要进一步开展研究,以确定支持后代护士学科带头人成长和做好准备的机会,并对目前阻碍澳大利亚和新西兰高等教育部门护士学术职业发展的因素提出挑战。
