Abstract

This study aimed to investigate nurses’
understanding regarding leadership, as well as the
strategies used for facilitating its exercising in the hospital
environment. It is research with a qualitative approach of
the descriptive type, in which the case study was used
as the investigative strategy. The participants were 25
nurses who worked in hospitals in Florianópolis, in the
Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The information were
obtained between May and December 2010, through
semi-structured interviews and dialogic workshops,
and were analyzed using Thematic Analysis, with two
themes emerging: ‘The nurses’ understanding regarding
leadership’, and ‘Strategies which facilitate the exercising
of leadership’. The results indicate that leadership is a
relational skill which contributes to the management of
the care, the team, and the hospital environment, being
strengthened by dialogue as the main strategy facilitating
and strengthening the exercising of the nurse’s leadership.
