Keywords:
challenge, communication, cooperation, experience, manager, nurseAbstract
This study aims to investigate and analyze the experiences and challenges faced by nurse managers in healthcare institutions in municipalities where the population has increased rapidly over the past decade. For the processing of data, SPSS statistical software is used, for the primary data collected by the questionnaire instrument completed during the interview with managers of healthcare institutions. The findings of the paper showed that staff shortages are one of the main problems affecting the quality of care and the functioning of health services. The impact of management experience is seen as positive in the ability to effectively manage financial resources and meet the needs and goals of the nursing department.Managers view the effect of a nursing staff shortage on healthcare facilities as a concern, particularly when it is linked to rising migration from neighboring towns and rural regions. The study's findings suggest that while managers deal with a number of issues, including job pressure, employee discontent, and staff turnover, experience has been shown to improve manager-nurse interactions and encourage employees to give their utmost. This study expands on the creation of an alternative and thorough framework for comprehending the impact of management skills, resources, and experience on healthcare organizations.
