Abstract

Head nurse leadership plays an important role in shaping organizational culture and influencing nurses’ perceptions of psychological safety in hospital settings. Ineffective leadership may contribute to fear-based work environments, reduced psychological safety, and the emergence of a blame culture among nurses, which can hinder open communication and learning from clinical errors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between head nurse leadership and blame culture among nurses in a public hospital. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 220 nurses recruited from inpatient, intensive care, emergency, and outpatient units of a public hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring perceived overall head nurse leadership and blame culture in clinical practice. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS version 26. The results showed that overall head nurse leadership was perceived at a moderately high level (3.62 ± 0.54), while blame culture was categorized as moderate (3.41 ± 0.63). Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated a significant moderate negative relationship between head nurse leadership and blame culture (r = -0.528, p = 0.001), indicating that higher perceived leadership was associated with lower levels of blame culture among nurses. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening effective and supportive leadership practices among head nurses to promote a psychologically safe and learning-oriented organizational culture in hospital settings.

Abstract

Stroke can lead to a varied course of disease, ranging from recovery with disability, death, to surviving with recurrent strokes. Post-stroke patients require special attention to improve self-care behaviors or self-care abilities. Stroke empowerment education is an educational approach given to stroke patients with an empowerment focus that centers on the patient.This study aimed to determine the effect of stroke empowerment education on the self-care of post-stroke patients as an effort to prevent recurrent strokes at RSUD Gambiran Kota Kediri. The research design used was a Quasi-Experiment with a pre-post test design with a control group. Sampling was done using accidental sampling technique, resulting in 98 respondents. Data collection on self-care was conducted using the modified version of The Subjective Self-Care Performance Scale questionnaire. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed a p-value of 0.000, meaning p < 0.05, thus rejecting H0. This study concluded that there was an effect of stroke empowerment education on improving self-care among post-stroke patients as an effort to prevent recurrent strokes at RSUD Gambiran Kota Kediri. As a recommendation, the results of this study can be continued as an intervention in hospitals to enhance services for post-stroke patients to improve self-care as an effort to prevent recurrent strokes.
