This was a practice-based project in which participants who were staff nurses, nurses in advanced practice, and students in nursing were asked to tell us (or describe to us) how they thought about ethics in their practice, and what ethical practice meant to them. We then undertook to analyze, describe and understand the enactment of ethical practice, the opportunities for and barriers to such enactment, as well as the resources nurses need for ethical practice. We drew out implications of these findings for nursing leaders. We identified practice realities that create a climate for ethical or moral distress, and the way in which nurses attempt to maintain their moral agency. Practice realities included nurses' ethical concerns about policies guiding care; the financial, human and temporal resources available for care; and the power and conflicting loyalties nurses encounter inproviding good care. Maintaining moral agency involved use of a variety of ethical resources and the identification of resources needed to provide good care, as well as the processes used to enact moral agency. Nurse leaders are also moral agents. Important implications of these findings for nursing leaders are that they need moral courage to be self-reflective, to name their own moral distress, and to act so that their nursing staff are able to be moral agents. Nurse leaders need to be the moral compass for nurses, using their power as a positive force to promote, provide and sustain quality practice environments for safe, competent and ethical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"15 4","pages":"7-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12927/cjnl.2002.19160","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22202760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an adapted McGrath group development model, the four staged maturation process of a virtual team consisting of four masters students is explored in this paper. The team's development is analyzed addressing the interaction of technology with social and task dynamics. Throughout the project, leadership competencies of value to the group that emerged were demonstrated and incorporated into the development of a leadership competency assessment instrument. The demonstration of these competencies illustrated how they were valued and internalized by the group. In learning about the work of this virtual team, the reader will gain understanding of how leadership impacts virtual team performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"15 3","pages":"30-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12927/cjnl.2002.19157","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22079747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Academy of Canadian Executive Nurses conducted a national survey on nurses' perceptions of patient safety, using focus groups from Academic Health Science Centres. Over a three month time frame, 22 organizations, and 33 focus groups comprised of 503 nurses provided responses to six questions regarding patient safety in hospitals. The study was designed as a preliminary fact finding initiative resulting in this descriptive report of the concerns as identified within the focus groups. With each issue identification, they were coded and grouped into 23 themes. Nurses overwhelmingly responded that the health care environment, in which they provide care, presents escalating risk to their patients. In particular, Workload/Pace of Work, Human Resources, Nursing Shortage/Staffing, Restructuring/Bed Closures, Patients/Clients, Systems Issues, Physical Environment and Technology/Specialization were themes emphasized as contributing to increased risk in patient care. Health care leaders must play a key role in developing strategies to address the issues nurses have identified and demonstrate a commitment to controlling the situation. This study encourages research into a more explicit understanding of the issues and identification of strategies to address patient safety in health care.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"15 3","pages":"11-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12927/cjnl.2002.19154","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22080315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
