Abstract
Purpose: To identify the attributes, antecedents, consequences, surrogate terms, and related terms of nursing leadership in nursing homes (NHs).
Method: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis was used to examine nursing leadership in NHs.
Results: Findings highlight attributes of nurse leaders in NHs and how these attributes set the concept apart from closely related terms, such as RN or clinical leadership.
Conclusion: Nursing leadership is often used interchangeably with surrogate and related terms. This intermingling can undermine the role of nursing leaders in NHs, inhibiting true collaboration and fostering incorrect expectations among interprofessional colleagues in the care setting, operational leaders (e.g., physicians, nursing home administrators), and policymakers around key decisions that impact nursing and ultimately the outcomes of those living and receiving care in NHs.
期刊介绍：
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
