Investigation and analysis of nursing students' leadership during internship

Abstract

Objective To explore the current situation of nursing students' leadership, in order to improve the clinical leadership of nursing students and provide reference for nursing teaching. Methods In July 2016, a questionnaire survey of nursing students including undergraduate and junior college students in our hospital was conducted by using the Self Assessment Leadership Instrument. SPSS 17.0 was used to conduct the t test to investigate the nursing leadership differences between the two groups. Results The total score of nursing students was (114.68±18.25), and the score of undergraduate students was higher than junior college students (t=8.13, P=0.000); In the dimensions of critical thinking, decision-making skill, interpersonal relationship, team spirit and working relationship, there were significant differences in the scores of undergraduate and junior college students with different levels of education (P<0.05). Conclusion The level of leadership of nursing students is low. In the process of nursing students' education, we should carry out the leadership courses in the school and practice leadership in clinical clerkship, so that we can promote the improvement of nurses' leadership and promote the development of nursing science.
