In South Africa, distinct situations, such as the transitioning of public nursing colleges to higher education to be part of a unified higher education system, amplify the problems faced by nursing education leaders. To unravel these complexities, an exploration of South Africaโs existing nursing education leadership strengths was undertaken. ๐ฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ To describe the leadership competencies deemed as an existing leadership strength in a challenged and transforming South African nursing education context. ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฑ As part of a larger study, embedded in social constructionism, an exploration of the countryโs existing nursing education leadership strengths was conducted with the purposefully selected nursing education leadership experts. Qualitative, descriptive, and contextual data yielded by the ten participants were analysed using thematic analysis. ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ Four main themes emerged namely, leadership competencies; governance, leadership, legislation, and policy; staff development as well as community engagement. ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป The authors propose that the described leadership competencies offered by the nursing education leadership experts as the existing nursing education leadership strengths in the country be considered as a foundational basis to navigate emergent challenges in wider contexts. | |
