Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

我が国では、看護管理者の感情マネジメントを主眼にした介入研究は希少である。本研究によって看護管理者は、コンフリクト対処が組織行動における中心的な役割を担っており、日常的に葛藤場面に遭遇することが多く、様々な感情体験を有していることが再確認された。さらに開発されたプログラムの効果検証により、看護管理者の感情マネジメントにとって有効性が期待される結果が得られたことは看護管理者の育成や医療現場が抱える様々な課題解決に向けた第一歩として社会的意義があると考える。
