| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: The project aims to educate current and future leaders in servant leadership to promote increased job satisfaction within the intensive care unit (ICU).; Rationale/Background: Leadership (and organization) support fosters trust between the leader and follower, reducing burnout among nurses and increasing retention. Institutions experience improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital-acquired events when nurses report job satisfaction. Educating while simultaneously testing the correlation between variables provides information regarding the relationship between servant leadership and the impact on nurses' job satisfaction and patient outcomes.; Methods: The project will be implemented in the ICU following written approval. Surveys will assess leaders' knowledge of servant leadership with assigned education modules. Both leaders and bedside nurses will be issued pre-, random, and post-surveys throughout the project. A diverse interprofessional team will review quality measures monthly and adjust target goals accordingly using the PDSA framework model.; Results: The nurse survey will be administered to nurses in the ICU to determine desires and preferences for a leadership style. Education regarding servant leadership will take place after the survey results are finalized. If successful, this project will be implemented throughout the organization, unit by unit, after servant leadership is implemented within the ICU.; Conclusions: Servant leadership and organizational support are relevant in the ICU. Trust in the leader and trust in the organization correlate directly with servant leadership, reduced job burnout, and bedside nurses' intent to leave. The implications of this project will directly impact the recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction of bedside nurses and improve leadership job; satisfaction. Appropriate and continuous nurse education in servant leadership is crucial to changing leadership styles and job satisfaction. |
