The program development and evaluation for leadership in nursing administration : strategies for the value of diversification

本研究的目的是确定日本护士的多元化价值观，并有助于继续护理教育的一些计划，如发展护士管理者和管理者的领导技能。本调查在两个特殊功能的医院，以提供先进的医疗服务在日本进行。向1 397名护理人员，包括护士、护士经理和护士行政人员分发了问卷。共收到754份答复（答复率：54%）。数据缺失或不完整的样本被排除。本研究的有效受试者数量为688例（有效应答率：48%）。分析护理管理者价值观要求的相关因素在不同代际间是否存在差异。结果，"态度"、"合理性"和"公平性"是几代人之间观察到统计学显著差异的唯一值（p <0.05，Kruskal.沃利斯试验）。这一结果不同于许多以前报道的。许多研究认为，现代日本的价值观多样性是代际差异的。需要进一步的调查，以确定这些结果是否是特定的护理专业。

The purpose of this study was to identify the diversified values of nurses in Japan and contribute to continuing nursing education on some programs such as developing leadership skills for nurse managers and administrators.The survey was conducted at two special functioning hospitals to provide advanced medical care in Japan. Questionnaires were delivered to 1,397 nursing personnel including staff nurses, nurse managers and nurse administrators. In total, 754 responses were received (response rate : 54%). Questionnaires with missing or incomplete data were excluded. The number of valid subjects for this study was 688 (valid response rate : 48%). We analyzed if factors related to values required of nursing administrator would be differentiated among different generations. As a result, "Attitude," "rationality," and "fairness" were the only values for which statistically significant differences were observed among generations (p < .05, Kruskal. Wallis test).This result differs from many reported previously. Many studies have assumed that the diversity of values in modern-day Japan is intergenerational. Further investigation is required to determine whether these results are specific to the nursing profession.
