“…Leadership is broadly accepted to be about influencing others to accomplish common goals and is described as a complex and multifaceted process that involves providing support, motivation, coordination, and resources to enable individuals and teams to achieve collective objectives (Davidson, Elliot, & Daly, ; Wong & Cummings, ). Strengthening the leadership and career development of postdoctoral nurses are important conditions to realize high‐quality research (Hamers, ). Although research in nursing has been growing worldwide, the research capacity of many European nursing faculties is still limited and fragile (Hallberg, ; Richards, Coulthard, & Borglin, ; Richards, Hanssen, & Borglin, ; Segrott, ).…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of Dutch postdoctoral nurses working in research with leadership and career development. Methods and Design: A generic explorative qualitative design with semistructured in-depth interviews was used. A criterion sample of 13 postdoctoral nurses working in research in the Netherlands was included. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: Three themes were identified: (a) developing leadership and identity as a PhD nurse, (b) becoming a valuable member in the scientific world of academe, and (c) continuous search for progression while balancing worlds and tasks. Postdoctoral nurses experienced their leadership and professional development as a serious and conscious process. Their vision of nursing, health care, and research was an important motive regarding future career choices. Although the scientific world of academe was perceived as honorable, the nurses experienced it as a complex work environment. All the postdoctoral nurses had to deal with the demands and pressures of the scientific world. Coping with the tension between enjoying work and handling high workloads and academic achievements was described as challenging. Searching for balance was important, especially because of the different part-time employment or working activities with various commitments. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that postdoctoral nurses do show considerable progression in their leadership and career development; however, they experience the scientific working environment as challenging. The findings of this study indicate the need for more academic positions, the strengthening of the infrastructure for nursing research, and the development of supportive leadership and mentoring programs for postdoctoral nurses to provide optimal evidence-based and high-quality care for patients. Clinical Relevance: Postdoctoral nurses need to develop strong leadership competencies to strengthen research, education, and evidence-based practice in clinical care to improve patient and healthcare outcomes.de Lange et al.

“…Doctorally prepared leaders in nursing are important for realizing high quality research in health care as they bring unique expertise in research, innovative educational approaches, patient management knowledge, theoretical and statistical expertise, and political awareness (Broome, 2012). The need to provide leadership opportunities for PNs has been emphasized over the last decades (Branden & Sharts-Hopko, 2017;Hafsteinsd ottir et al, 2017;Hamers, 2012;Morin, 2004;Segrott et al, 2006;World Health Organisation, 2017). However, lack of leadership in nursing was identified by various reports calling for immediate action to strengthen leadership to ensure accessible, available, acceptable, qualitative, and cost-effective nursing care within a rapidly changing health care context (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Health (APPG), 2017; Sigma Theta Tau International, 2020; World Health Organisation, 2017).…”

Background: Postdoctoral nurses have an important role in advancing nursing by generating knowledge and building networks in research, practice, and education which requires effective leadership. Therefore, the Leadership Mentoring in Nursing Research programme for postdoctoral nurses was developed. Purpose: This study was to evaluate expectations, experiences, and perceived influence of the leadership mentoring programme on leadership and professional development, professional identity, and research productivity of postdoctoral nurses. Methods: A longitudinal mixed-method study with a concurrent triangulation design was used with data collected through semistructured interviews and online surveys. Findings: The leadership mentoring programme was found to be valuable by the participants who described strengthened leadership and professional development and development of professional identities. Participants showed increased research productivity and many moved to new/higher positions. Discussion: The leadership mentoring programme was found to enhance the leadership and professional development of postdoctoral nurses and support them in their academic careers.
