Summary. The urgent need to reform Ukraine’s health care system requires a qualitatively new approach to governance at both the state and health care levels.
The aim of the study – to analyze the contingent of senior nurses in terms of assessment of leadership qualities and training in the organization and management of the health care system.
Materials and Methods. The study involved 25 senior nurses of the municipal institution “Dnipropetrovsk Specialized Clinical Medical Center of Mother and Child named after Prof. M. F. Rudnev” Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council”, who answered the questions of our questionnaire.
Results. With the maximum possible amount of points equal to 250, the total average score was (180.32±4.06), which indicates the need for more thorough training of real and potential managers in various aspects of management. Their positions are quite strong in relations with senior management, in matters of strategic management, in general a positive assessment of innovation, in-depth knowledge of professional issues, as well as in the fact that they highly value the teams in which they work. At the same time, they do not always have clear enough criteria for assessing the qualities of specific employees; they clearly do not fully trust and do not always consult with the team, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, do not clearly control its work.
Conclusions. The development of leadership skills of senior nurses is the key to improving the efficiency of nursing staff management.
