Theoretical-practical articulation of the continuous learning of leadership in Nursing in light of Peter Senge

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the theoretical-practical articulation of the continuous learning of leadership in undergraduate Nursing. Methods: Case study carried out at a Northeast federal public university. For data collection, semi-structured interview techniques, workshops, and document analysis were applied. Forty Nursing students participated in the interviews, and 26 in the workshops. The data were submitted to Minayo’s operative analysis using the Nvivo software. Peter Senge’s concepts were adopted. Results: The students demonstrated a greater understanding of the theme throughout the course and recognized contributing elements to the continuous learning of leadership, such as behavioral characteristics and the use of methodological approaches integrated with theoretical and practical spaces. Final considerations: The teaching of leadership is relevant in Nursing education, and this has been recognized by students, but still requires changes for it to become operational, with an improvement and a theoretical-practical integration of the cultivated experiences, suitable to the reality of the craft.

Desenvolvimento da liderança por enfermeiros: Ensaio teórico reflexivo à luz da organização de aprendizagem de Peter Senge

“…Following Senge's (2018) new view of leadership in the learning organization, nursing overlaps leadership styles/ models and/or leader characteristics, from the most classical to the contemporary. However, the recognition and understanding of the leadership skill are still limited, as well as the understanding that professionals have more than one leadership style during the performance of their work due to the complexity of the services (Amestoy et al, 2017a(Amestoy et al, , 2017bFerreira et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2021aSantos et al, , 2021b.…”

Perspectivas docentes sobre ensino da liderança na formação do enfermeiro

“…Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), primar pela liderança na prática da enfermagem e promovê-la durante a formação do enfermeiro requer uma preocupação constante (1) . O empenho em capacitar e qualificar esse profissional reverbera na eficácia do exercício da liderança, por isso torna-se importante o desenvolvimento dessa competência desde o início da graduação (2) . No entanto, o enfermeiro, quando recém-formado, nem sempre se encontra bem preparado para exercer as funções de líder, o que é um ponto crítico, tendo em vista a crescente demanda por cuidados e a relação direta estabelecida entre a liderança e a qualidade da assistência prestada.…”

Influencing factors in the nurses’ decision-making process in Ibero-American university hospitals

“…In the course of work-related activities, it is common for the nurse to have doubts about which management tools can be used for better decision-making and to favor autonomy and leadership (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Therefore, it becomes indispensable to understand which elements make up the decision-making process, as it is an instrument of managerial competence inherent to the Nursing profession, as well as to know its implications for work and for the quality of the services.…”
