Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the current status of clinical nurses' perception of authentic leadership, scientific research ability, and self-transcendence, and analyze the path relationship among them.
MethodsThis study was a cross-sectional study. In June 2020, convenience sampling was used to select clinical nurses from two Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou as the research object. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) , Nursing Research Capacity Self-evaluation Questionnaire, and Self-Transcendence Scale (STS) . This study collected 913 questionnaires, of which 897 were valid questionnaires, with a valid rate of 98.25%.
ResultsAmong 897 clinical nurses, the ALQ total score, Nursing Research Capacity Self-evaluation Questionnaire total score and the STS total score were (58.72±6.72) , (47.42±18.23) and (37.94±7.86) respectively. The structural equation model showed that with self-transcendence as an intermediary, the indirect effect of authentic leadership on scientific research ability was 0.15.
ConclusionsSelf-transcendence plays a mediating role between nurses' perception of authentic leadership and scientific research ability. Nursing managers should take effective measures to cultivate authentic leadership behaviors, promote the improvement of nurses' self-transcendence level, and thereby enhance nurses' scientific research capabilities.
