Nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competence: A  mixed-method systematic review

CONCLUSIONS: This study unravels a unique hierarchical description of communication skills across competence categories, supported by the assumption that communication skills are structured hierarchically. The studies reviewed herein had a narrow perception of nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competence and indicated a transmissional understanding of communication.IMPACT: This is the first mixed-methods systematic review that describes and synthesizes the evidence on nurse leaders' communication competencies hierarchically and across competence levels. The study suggests that further research should focus on a broader and more analytical understanding of the cognitive and affective aspects of interpersonal communication competence.PROSPERO ID: CRD42023385058.PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.PMID:38597426 | DOI:10.1111/jan.16184
