Introduction: The study explored the effectiveness of programs designed to develop health leadership skills in enhancing the well-being and overall quality of life of staff. It sought to establish whether structured leadership role modeling and training could improve the psychological and operational climate for healthcare workers and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.
Methods: This mixed-methods study combined quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The study participants were trained leaders at healthcare facilities from other areas. The researchers used validated questionnaires to assess well-being and quality of life both before and after the training. Semi-structured interviews provided qualitative data to explore staff experiences and perceived benefits.
Results: As shown in the quantitative results, there was a marked increase in staff well-being and quality of life after completing the training. Themes of improved job satisfaction, better communication, and enhanced team functioning were identified through qualitative analysis. Participants noted becoming more empowered and supported in their roles, leading to a positive work environment.
Conclusions: Results Student well-being and quality of life were positively influenced by health leadership training programs. Results showed positive changes in both relationships and job satisfaction and underscored the need for leadership training in health care facilities. The research suggested that healthcare organizations should invest in these types of programs as a way to boost employee morale and lead to better operational outcomes.
