    • Spanish
    Obra que proporciona tanto una introducción amplia a este campo así como un resumen de la base de conocimiento y las habilidades relacionadas con el liderazgo y la gestión de enfermería. Presenta una fusión de práctica y teoría que abre nuevas perspectivas mediante la explicación de la intersección de los cuidados de enfermería con el liderazgo de las personas y la gestión de organizaciones y sistemas. Tiene un doble objetivo que consiste en diferenciar con claridad las perspectivas tradicionales de liderazgo y gestión, y relacionarlas de forma integrada con las tendencias actuales en enfermería y las aplicaciones prácticas. El contenido de esta sexta edición se ha reorganizado y actualizado para integrar los temas de liderazgo y gestión con las competencias de liderazgo ejecutivo en enfermería de la American Organization on Nurse Executives (AONE). Está diseñada para cubrir las necesidades de los profesionales y estudiantes de enfermería que busquen una base sobre los principios de liderazgo y coordinación de los servicios de enfermería en relación con los cuidados de los pacientes, los compañeros, los superiores y los subordinados.
