Introduction: The impact of nursing leadership on the quality of life of patients and providers is significant yet too frequently not acknowledged. Empowerment of nursing leadership to improve outcomes in quality of life for patients and providers.
Methods: We adopted a qualititative research design using focus groups and questionnaires with leaders in nursing, healthcare and patients. The sample included 50 selected from multiple health care domains.
Results: Empowering nursing leadership had a positive impact on patient and provider quality of life. Participants reported clearer communication, greater collaboration, and increased job satisfaction. As a result, patients felt they were being heard and involved in their care, which led to improved health outcomes and better satisfaction.
Conclusions: This statement truly punctuates the idea that empowered nursing leadership can enhance quality of life for both patient and provider alike in measurable ways. Nursing leaders play an important part in developing organizational culture, which can be a vehicle for ethical decision-making and development of moral courage for all. Additional studies should be performed to determine the best practices for developing and promoting empowering nursing leadership. In the end, investing in nursing leadership is a way to promote better patient outcomes and to support healthcare providers in a more positive working environment.
