PY - 2019/08/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Leadership Behaviors of Nurse Administrators and Caring Behaviors of Staff Nurses at the Cagayan Valley Medical Center JF - SPUP Graduate School Research Journal JA - SPUPGSRJ VL - 15 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://ojs.aaresearchindex.com/index.php/spupgsrj/article/view/417 SP - AB - <p>This study sought to describe the leadership behaviors of nurse<br>administrators as well as the staff nurses’ caring behaviors and to<br>compare the nurse administrators’ leadership behaviors as assessed by<br>themselves and by their staff nurses. Caring behaviors of staff nurses<br>were described according to profile variables. Leadership behaviors of<br>nurse administrators have been associated with the caring behaviors<br>of staff nurses. This descriptive correlational study was conducted in<br>a 500-bed capacity tertiary, teaching, training hospital, the Cagayan<br>Valley Medical Center, the 3rd largest hospital in the Philippines. All<br>53 nurse administrators and 89 regular staff nurses in this hospital<br>were the participants of the study. The Leadership Behavior Checklist<br>developed by Cornelius &amp; Associates (2010) for nurse administrators<br>and the Caring Behaviors Inventory established by Wolf (1994) for staff<br>nurses were used as data gathering instruments of this study. Leadership<br>behaviors were very highly manifested by nurse administrators in all<br>dimensions as assessed by themselves, however, these manifestations<br>were not slightly concurred by staff nurses in some dimensions. The<br>leadership behavior of nurse administrators reflects high manifestation<br>of staff nurses caring behaviors. The caring behavior manifested by staff<br>nurses was not affected when the staff nurses were grouped according<br>to their profile variables. This study also provides further evidences<br>regarding perceptions of nurse administrators and staff nurses on the<br>leadership behaviors of their nurse administrators which demonstrate<br>agreements and disagreements on the different dimensions of<br>leadership behaviors.</p> ER -
