Nursing Leadership Styles
Poels et al. (2020) authored a research article on leadership styles and their outcomes in nursing homes. The report explores deep and properly defined concepts in nursing homes through a cross-sectional method. Measurement of leading styles and their results for DoN and head nurses through the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5X (MLQ-5X) gave the research its results (Poels et al., 2020). The measurement was based on a complete range of ideal leadership MLQ-5X and revealed that transformational leadership is change-oriented. Transactional, task-oriented, and passive-avoidance required no leading (Poels et al., 2020). The results proved the excessive presence of a passive-avoidant approach compared to the leading transactional system in nursing homes.
I do not support the passive-avoidant leadership approach in nursing homes because research shows that it may negatively affect flexibility to encounter projected formidable challenges (Liu et al., 2021). The style may fail to balance a constraint in nursing homes leading to an obstruction of nurturing proper transformational leadership in nursing leaders. Both transactional and passive-avoidance leadership approaches may never meet complex demands in-home nursing settings.
The article relates to nursing practice due to its efforts of unvailing suitable leadership styles for bringing forth crucial healthcare change. The sustainability of these changes would ensure improved patient safety and the quality of care delivered. The research proves that transformational leadership is indispensable when growing, implementing, and sustaining healthy healthcare changes (Liu et al., 2021). It uses well-described concepts from various home nursing settings. This leadership approach creates job satisfaction, improves staff wellbeing, and lowers the burn-out rate in the nursing practice.
