Leadership and Teamwork in Nursing
2021
Introduction: Leadership is defined as the influencing process of thought, feelings,
attitudes, and behaviors of a small or large, formal, or informal group of people by
an individual leader.
Purpose: The present review study focuses on the nursing team and its
characteristics, on the nursing administration and it analyses the way the
leadership influences the nursing team.
Methods: The material of the study consisted of articles on the subject found in
Greek and international databases such as: Google Scholar, Mednet, Pubmed,
Medline and the Association of Greek Academic Libraries (HEAL-Link). The
exclusion criterion for the articles was the language, except of Greek and English.
Only articles and studies accessible to authors were mostly used.
Results: The nursing team at the hospital environment is a classic functional group
headed by the head nurse of the department, who is designed by the hospital
management. The leadership of nurses is linked to decision-making, creating the
appropriate atmosphere, adequate assignments, resolving conflicts, the integrity
of actions and the effective development of team members through collaboration,
and guidance. A good and successful leader will seek to develop the staff during
his leadership.
Conclusion: The heads therefore serve as role models for nurses and gain the
respect of their staff by setting a good example and clear goals.
