ABSTRACT:
In health care organizations, assessing the compatibility between the leadership self-evaluations of charge nurses and the evaluation by executive nurses is significant. This cross-sectional multicenter study involved 600 charge nurses and 53 executive nurses from a private health group in Turkey. Charge nurse leadership was evaluated using a 52-question "Executive Nurse Leadership Personal Evaluation Form," covering various leadership aspects. The results indicated that most charge nurses were female (80.10%) with less managerial experience (61.84%) than executive nurses. Gender and education level did not significantly affect leadership self-report and administrator evaluation scores. However, differences were observed based on seniority. Nurses with more than 61 months of experience scored higher, except for the 13–36- and 37–60-month groups, which showed no significant differences. Notably, there was substantial agreement between the charge nurses’ self-evaluation and managerial assessments. In conclusion, the compatibility between charge nurses’’ self-assessed leadership and executive nurses’ ‘evaluation is crucial in health care organizations. This study recommends using both self-reports and managerial assessments to evaluate the leadership of nurses in charge within health care institutions.
