From caring to managing and beyond: an examination of the head nurse's role.

AIM: The aim of this study was to depict the essence of what head nurses do, and how they perform their managerial role. METHODS: To achieve this, the work behaviour of 48 head nurses was examined by a semi-structured observation technique for 6 hours each. RESULTS: Results demonstrated that head nurses spent a large proportion of their time in clinical practice, followed by co-ordinating care, operating the unit's functions, and leading staff. Personnel management and quality improvement occupied only a marginal share of head nurses' time. CONCLUSIONS: These results implied that head nurses exhibited a management style orientated to maintenance rather than to re-creation, focusing more on the 'doing' and the 'here and now' aspects of the job than on leading, planning, and proactive problem solving.
