Title : The effect of nurse manager leadership style on nursing care performance and patient outcomes
Abstract:
Background: The form of leadership that can positively influence nursing care performance and patient outcomes remains a crucial subject in the healthcare sector.
Aim: This project examines the effect of leadership style at different managerial levels on nursing care performance and patient outcomes.
Methods: The research design will be retrospective of multiple cohorts of different leadership styles. The style of leadership is a predictor of this study and will be measured using a cross-sectional survey of Jordanian nurses using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Nursing care performance and patient outcomes will be measured by surveying patients, observing practice, and reviewing health records. Nursing care performance will be evaluated using 15 indicators. Twenty-five indicators will be used to measure patient outcomes categorized in the domains of safety, patient comfort and quality of life, changes in patient knowledge and behavior, patient satisfaction, and joint outcomes such as morbidity and mortality.
Implications: The identification of leadership styles with a positive impact on nursing care performance and patient health outcomes is essential. Nursing managers and administrators can be informed of the best leadership style. They can adopt the characteristics of leadership style that will enable them to enhance nursing care performance while improving their patient outcomes.
