However, recently many nurses assume leadership roles with limited preparation, highlighting the need to strengthen leadership development, education and training. Despite growing interest in nursing leadership, limited research has explored how nurse leaders perceive their roles, competencies and educational needs across different organisational contexts.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;An explorative, descriptive, qualitative design was adopted.

Across these themes, participants highlighted significant gaps in preparation for managerial and leadership responsibilities, particularly in areas such as communication, team motivation and staff development. These gaps were perceived as affecting job satisfaction, staff retention and the delivery of high-quality patient-centred care.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The findings suggest that nurse leaders perceive leadership as a complex relational and organisational practice that extends beyond operational management.
