RESUMOObjetivo: compreender as barreiras no processo de construção do enfermeiro-líder. Método: estudo qualitativo, fundamentado nos pressupostos da etnoenfermagem, tendo, como sujeitos, 22 profissionais da equipe de Enfermagem que compõem três turnos de trabalho. A análise dos dados respeitou o preconizado pela etnoenfermagem, que propõe que as informações sejam analisadas em quatro fases utilizando-se de critérios específicos e congruentes com o paradigma qualitativo e apresentando os resultados após cada fase. Resultados: foram agrupados nas categorias Características pessoais e Cultura Institucional. Conclusão: as principais barreiras na construção do exercício da liderança pelo enfermeiro devem ser reconhecidas para serem superadas no cotidiano do exercício profissional, pois tanto as características pessoais, quanto a cultura institucional devem ser transpostas com conhecimento e criatividade.

Method: a qualitative study, based on the presuppositions of the ethnographic study, having, as the subjects, 22 professionals of the Nursing team that compose three work shifts. The data analysis respected what was recommended by the ethnographic survey, which proposes that the information be analyzed in four phases using specific and congruent criteria with the qualitative paradigm and presenting the results after each phase. Results: were grouped in two categories: Personal characteristics and Institutional Culture. Conclusion: the main barriers in the construction of leadership by the nurse must be recognized to be overcome in the daily practice, since both personal characteristics and institutional culture must be transposed with knowledge and creativity.

With the growing complexity of healthcare practice environments and pending nurse leader retirements, the development of future nurse leaders is increasingly important. This article reports on focus group research conducted with Generation Y nurses prior to their initiating coursework in a Master’s Degree program designed to support development of future nurse leaders. Forty-four emerging nurse leaders across three program cohorts participated in this qualitative study conducted to capture perspectives about nursing leaders and leadership. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze and code the data into categories. We discuss the three major categories identified, including: idealistic expectations of leaders, leading in a challenging practice environment, and cautious but optimistic outlook about their own leadership and future, and study limitations. The conclusion offers implications for future nurse leader development. The findings provide important insight into the viewpoints of nurses today about leaders and leadership.

BACKGROUND In nursing education and practice, we prepare nurses on topics such as patient care, pathophysiology, pharmacology, nursing leadership, and nursing competencies. Unfortunately, we may be missing the mark when it comes to integrating these topics and applying them to situations that arise in health care such as medication misuse. Nurses work intimately with patients and can recognize potential medication misuse by reviewing medication regimens and assessing necessity of PRN patient requests. In cases where nurses suspect misuse, they may or may not feel comfortable addressing these concerns with other members of the health care team. AIMS Study aims were to assess the baseline of whether nurses are comfortable with their level of skill to recognize potential patient medication misuse and to assess nurses’ comfortability with communicating these concerns with other nurses, providers, and patients. METHODS This survey study was designed to obtain practical information about nurses understanding of misused and diverted prescription medications and level of comfort with expressing concerns about the use of central nervous system depressants to inform education, practice, and research. Three-hundred and fifty nurses at one hospital were invited to participate in an anonymous REDCap survey. RESULTS Thirty-five percent of the surveyed nurses returned the survey. Responding nurses were more comfortable sharing their own knowledge and the need for more education on the topic than they were discussing interdisciplinary communication. CONCLUSIONS Empowering nurses to communicate this knowledge with others on the health care team has major public health implications to reduce the negative outcomes of misused medications.
