NUR 711 Advanced Roles And Leadership In Nursing
Questions:
1.Impact of Research Findings and Importance of the Research
The researches of nursing leadership skills and knowledge allow nurses to identify both personal and role gaps. Equally, it influences their leadership priorities to make the health facilities they lead better. Researches in leadership skills and knowledge are imperative because it guides the development of necessary competencies to make the health care service delivery better for the realization of improved patient experience and outcomes.
2.Research in quality improvement is needed to combat rising health safety concerns. Identification of the professionals most suited for further research, embracing benefits of further research, and overcoming challenges associated with quality improvement are all necessary. Professional nurses need to take the responsibility in this area. They are the one area of the health infrastructure most suited to address this.
Answers:
1.I agree with you on your perspective towards research in the provision of a research based nursing. The current trends in the health sector have led to changes that require different strategies to manage. Gaps in knowledge have perpetuated from training to practice among the nurses. A skills oriented training rather than a blend of both skills and leadership has led to the incompetent leaders in the nursing sector. Some essential skills such as critical thinking and communication skills are lacking in the newly graduated registered nurses. Will the training be enough for them to acquire the necessary skills? Inspire of the failures of the training curriculum, leadership is more of a practical skill than theoretical knowledge. Despite being trained in theory, its only in practice where nurses will attain leadership skills and learn how to integrate theoretical knowledge (Ellis, 2016).
2.Research in quality improvement is a deliberate and systematic process. It is usually the prerequisite in the process of change. Research on the whole process enables the identification of loopholes that will require fixing. The immense changes in healthcare require a change in the process of healthcare provision. Handling of patient personal information is an issue that has raised the issue of privacy with the invention of advanced technology in recording of patient health records. Upholding the privacy in care provision even with invention of new methods of storing patient confidential details is a way of ensuring the quality of care is upheld. Can we find a single solution to all the challenges? All the challenges facing quality improvement can collectively be solved through good leadership (Goetsch and Davis, 2014). Leaders with proper change management skills will catalyze the process using the change management models.
