THE FACTORS OF SUCCESSFUL WORK OF THE NURSES

Magistrska naloga skuša odgovoriti na vprašanja, kakšno je pravilno in priporočljivo vodenje v zdravstveni negi, kakšnega vodjo potrebujemo na tem področju, kakšne osebnostne lastnosti naj ima sodoben vodja in kako vodenje vpliva na razvoj in delovanje stroke. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljene osebnostne lastnosti vodje — medicinske sestre in njihov vpliv na vodenje v zdravstveni negi. Prikazan je zgodovinski in sodobni razvoj zdravstvene nege ter ostalih poklicev v zdravstvu. V nadaljevanju je predstavljena organizacija na splošno in njena struktura. Sledi podrobna obdelava in predstavitev neprofitne organizacije. Naslednji sklop teoretičnega dela zajema vodenje na splošno in menedžment v zdravstveni negi ter dosežke in dejanske potrebe po dvigu nivoja kakovosti v zdravstveni negi. Predstavljena je medicinska sestra v vlogi vodje, njene osebnostne lastnosti in stili vodenja, ki so trenutno v opravljanju zdravstvene nege. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, čeprav ne docela izrazito, da lahko faktorji učinkovitosti vplivajo na učinkovitost posamezne vodje. Menimo, da še tako visoka vrednost določenega faktorja (ali faktorjev) ne more nadomestiti prenizke vrednosti enega samega od preostalih faktorjev. V skladu s povedanim se ni mogoče strinjati z nekaterimi avtorji, ki razlagajo uspešnost vodij kot zmnožek dveh faktorjev: usposobljenosti in motivacije za vodstveno delo (po tej teoriji lahko posameznik pomanjkljivo usposobljenost nadomesti z večjo motiviranostjo). Modeli vodenja, kakor tudi zakonske spremembe, sami po sebi ne morejo voditi ljudi. Vodijo lahko samo močne vodilne osebnosti, sposobni ljudje, ki bodo oblikovali time, angažirali znanje, motivirali ljudi in ustvarjali klimo za demokratizacijo odnosov. Velikokrat se namreč poraja vprašanje, kakšno organizacijo in vodenje potrebujemo v 21. stoletju na področju zdravstvene nege.This Master\u27s Degree work tries to answer several main questions: what is correct, recommendable management in the field of health care, what executive profile is needed, what personal characteristics a modern manager should have, and finally yet importantly how does the management affect the development and the functioning of the profession? The theoretical part of the paper presents personal characteristics of a manager – nurse and their influence on the management in the health care. The general presentation of organisational structures is followed by a detailed presentation of a non-profit organisation. The second chapter of the theoretical part deals with management in general and management in health care as well as the achievements and actual need for better quality in health care. A nurse in the role of a manager, her/his personal characteristics and management styles in health care presently in use are also dealt with. The results of the research show, even though in a less evident manner, that efficiency factors can influence the efficiency of a manager. My opinion is that as high as the value of a certain factor and/or factors can be, it cannot compensate a factor with a low value, even when there is only one low value factor. In accordance with that, it is not possible to agree with some authors who explain that a manager\u27s efficiency equals a multiplication of two factors, namely qualification and motivation for staff management. According to this theory, an individual can compensate the lack of qualifications by stronger motivation. It should be pointed out that the management models along with the legislations changes cannot manage people by themselves. Staff can be managed only by a strong executive personality, by well-qualified and competent human resources that can build teams, use knowledge, motivate people and create a climate for democratic relations. What organisation type and what management style in the field of health care are needed in 21st century is the question that often arises
