Investigating the Relationship Between Leadership Support and Nurse Resilience During Healthcare Crises
Posted: Nov 22, 2023
Abstract
The contemporary healthcare landscape has been characterized by unprecedented crises, from global pandemics to systemic staffing shortages, placing extraordinary demands on nursing professionals. While the importance of nurse resilience has been widely acknowledged in healthcare literature, the specific mechanisms through which leadership support influences this resilience remain inadequately understood. Traditional research approaches have typically treated leadership support as a uniform construct, failing to capture its multidimensional nature and dynamic interaction with nurse resilience throughout crisis trajectories. This research addresses critical gaps in the existing literature by proposing a novel conceptual framework that deconstructs leadership support into four distinct dimensions: emotional scaffolding, resource advocacy, procedural flexibility, and psychological safety cultivation. Our investigation moves beyond conventional correlational studies by employing a hybrid methodological approach that integrates computational social network analysis with psychometric assessment, enabling us to model the complex, non-linear relationships between leadership behaviors and resilience outcomes.
