Abstract

Student nurse organizations can develop reciprocal programs with hospitals which can be mutually beneficial to both organizations. Hospitals need to recruit and retain qualified nurses through cost-effective methods. NSAs need to develop financial support for their group's activities. Both the hospital and the NSA need to expose students to various nursing roles in an effort to reduce reality shock. Developing a reciprocal relationship between an NSA and a hospital is one method of meeting the complementary objectives of both organizations.

[Leadership and change processes in hospitals].

BACKGROUND: Successful change processes in hospitals require leaders with strong competence and personal suitability, who can develop resource efficient and creative solutions. We have investigated how division leaders handle change processes and solve problems that arise in cross-disciplinary meeting activities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight division leaders at two hospitals in the same region of Norway have gone through in-depth interviews about change leadership. RESULTS AND INTERPRETATIONS: Some of the division leaders were familiar with facilitating change processes and used a range of methods and tools, but the majority had limited insight into which methods would be most appropriate in the various phases of a change process. They signalised that the most difficult challenge was to handle interactions dominated by suspicion, negative interpretation, assumptions and hidden agendas. Such interplays were the most limiting factor in the development of a common understanding of demands, goals and commitment to change processes across departments and units.
