Management and Leadership in Midwifery

Abstract

The international midwifery and nursing literature reports leadership as something of high importance and that it is essential in promoting the quality of services. There is a direct link between the successful performance of the health care setting and effective leadership behaviors. There has been recognition of the impact of poor leadership with in midwifery, explained in a number of invastigation into adverse maternal and infant outcomes. There are many theories of leadership in international literature based on different disciplines. However, due to a lack of researche specific to health care setting, the appropriateness of these theories to midwifery and nursing has been questioned.  However, in recent years, studies on midwifery and leadership have increased. One of the important studies in this context is the national leadership initiative conducted under the National Health Services in England. The Midwifery Leadership Competency Model was developed in 2002 as part of a national leadership initiative. This article prepared in order to draw attention to the importance of leadership in midwifery and to examine “The Midwifery Leadership Competency Model”.

EBELİKTE YÖNETİM VE LİDERLİK

Abstract

Uluslararası ebelik ve hemşirelik literatürü liderliğin önemli ve hizmetlerin niteliğini geliştirmede gerekli olduğunu bildirmektedir. Bir sağlık kurumunun başarısı ile etkili liderlik davranışları arasında doğrudan bir ilişki vardır. Yapılan araştırmalarda ebelikte zayıf liderlik davranışlarının anne ve bebek sağlığını olumsuz etkilediği gösterilmiştir. Uluslararası literatürde farklı disiplinlere dayalı pek çok liderlik teorisi vardır. Ancak sağlık kurumlarına özel araştırmaların yetersizliği nedeniyle bu teorilerin ebelik ve hemşirelik mesleğine uygunluğu sorgulanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte son yıllarda ebelik ve liderlik ile ilgili çalışmalar artmıştır. Bu kapsamda yapılan önemli çalışmalardan biri de İngiltere’ de Ulusal Sağlık Hizmetleri kapsamında yürütülen ulusal liderlik girişimidir. Ulusal liderlik girişiminin bir parçası olarak 2002 yılında Lider Ebe Yetkinlik Modeli (Midwifery Leadership Competency Model) geliştirilmiştir. Bu makalede ebelikte liderliğin önemine dikkat çekilmiş ve “Lider Ebe Yetkinlik Modeli” incelenmiştir.
