Abstract
Background: Many researchers recommend that nurse managers be given paternalistic leadership training. However, no research in the literature shows that paternalistic leadership behavior can be developed through training. To fill this gap, nurse managers received paternalistic leadership training, and their paternalistic leadership behavior levels were examined.
Method: This was a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The sample consisted of 206 participants: 101 in the experimental group and 105 in the control group.
Results: There was a significant increase in the paternalistic leadership perceptions of the nurses in the experimental group (t = -4.209, p < .05) but no change in the paternalistic leadership perceptions of the nurses in the control group (t = 0.458, p > .05).
Conclusion: Paternalistic leadership training should be provided to nurse managers to develop paternalistic leadership behaviors. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(5):201-208.].
