Evaluating facilitation and mentoring in a Management and Leadership Fundamentals programme (MLF) for registered nurses

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / Includes bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the private health care sector the demand for skilled registered nurses as shift leaders
exceeds the supply. The shift leader of each shift plays an important and essential role in the
nursing unit. The Management and Leadership Fundamental (MLF) programme has been
developed to provide, equip and empower registered nurses with the best skills, knowledge
and attitudes to lead a shift with confidence.
The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the facilitation and mentoring
experiences of the registered nurses as learners who completed the MLF programme
successfully.
A qualitative methodology was used to address the research questions of the discussion
guide in the real life situation. The discussion guide consisted of four sections: section one
focused on facilitation, section two on mentoring, section three on management, and the
focal point of the fourth section was on the MLF programme.
The data were collected by means of structured interviews conducted with 14 registered
nurses as learners who had completed the MLF programme. The data were analysed by
doing verbatim transcriptions of the interviews, using coding and an Excel spreadsheet
analysis. The results revealed that facilitation and mentoring can contribute significantly to
the success of the MLF programme. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die aanvraag na bevoegde geregistreerde verpleegkundiges as skofleiers in privaat
hospitale oorskrei die aanbod. Die skofleier in die verpleegeenheid vervul ’n belangrike en
essentiële rol tydens die skof sodat kwaliteit produktiewe gehalte sorg aan pasiente gelwer
kan word. Die ‘Management and Leadership Fundamental (MLF)’ program is ontwikkel om
die geregistreerde vepleegkundige as skofleier toe te rus met die nodige kennis,
vaardighede en ingesteldheid om met vertroue ‘n skof te kan lei.
Hierdie navorsing ondersoek en evalueer die geregistreerde verpleegkundige as leerder se
ervarings van fasilitering en mentorskap tydens die MLF program wat hul suksesvol voltooi
het.
Kwalitatiewe navorsing is gebruik om die navorsingsvrae in die werklike situasie te
ondersoek. ‘n Besprekingsgids is ontwerp met navorsingsvrae in vier afdelings: afdeling een
se fokus was op fasilitering, afdeling twee het gefokus op mentorskap, afdeling drie het
gefokus op bestuur en afdeling vier se fokus was op die MLF program self.
Die data is versamel met behulp van gestruktureerde onderhoude wat gevoer is met 14
geregistreerde verpleegkundiges as leerders wat die MLF program suksesvol voltooi het.
Die data analise het bestaan uit verbatim getranskribeerde onderhoude, die kodering
daarvan asook ‘n gerekordeerde Excel ontledingstaat. Die resultate van die ondesoek het
aangetoon dat fasilitering en mentorskap ‘n betekenisvolle bydrae kan lewer tot die sukses
van die MLF program.
