Advancing Resilience: Transformative Roles of Nursing Leadership in Shaping Health Administration

Abstract

Context:
The growing complexities of healthcare systems and the unprecedented challenges brought on by crises like the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the critical need for resilience in health administration. Nursing leadership, with its pivotal role in shaping team dynamics and operational efficiency, uniquely contributes to building organizational resilience.

Gaps:
Despite its importance, limited research explores how nursing leaders operationalize resilience within healthcare systems, particularly across diverse contexts such as urban, rural, and conflict-affected regions.

Approach:
This study employs a mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies, to examine the role of nursing leadership in fostering resilience. Key findings highlight transformational and adaptive leadership traits as significant drivers of resilience, with practical applications in diverse healthcare settings globally.

Implications:
The results provide actionable insights for policymakers, institutional leaders, and healthcare organizations, emphasizing the need to integrate resilience metrics into performance evaluations, develop emotional intelligence training programs, and establish national guidelines for resilience-building. By addressing these factors, the study aims to influence leadership training programs and inform systemic policy reforms for sustainable healthcare delivery.
