| Popis: | AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of an online learning, certificate programme for front-line nurse leaders' sense of empowerment. BACKGROUND Front-line leaders play a crucial role in health care. Current training is often inadequate. The Institute of Medicine report on The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010) recommends nurses at all levels receive training for their role. METHODS A pre- to post-study design was used; instruments included Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire, Psychological Empowerment Scale, intent to stay, and self-reported knowledge and effectiveness of intervention questions. This study evaluated the effects of online learning for 29 acute care front-line leaders in the USA and Australia. RESULTS Structural empowerment significantly improved, pre-assessment (M = 18.50, SD = 1.6940) to post-assessment (M = 19.47, SD = 1.6940). There was no significant difference in intent to stay or overall psychological empowerment. Participants agreed (24/29, 83%) the intervention contributed to their 'sense of empowerment in their role' and 'ability to create an empowering work environment'. CONCLUSION Online learning was effective and could be integrated into orientation and/or continuing education plans to develop empowering work environments. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Online learning may be a means of educating and empowering front-line leaders for their role. |
