Abstract
Working as a head nurse requires complex skills and competencies that could affect not only the nursing staff, but also patients, participating in the Relationship Based Care (RBC) Model Workshop is one way to help head nurses develop their autonomy, confidence, and capacity to become effective leaders. Aim: Evaluate the impact of head nurses' relationship – based care model application on job enjoyment, at Ras El-Teen General hospital, Alexandria. Methods: a quasi-experimental research design was utilized at Ras El-Teen General hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), at Alexandria Governorate (n=28). Subjects: two groups: nurses (n=200) divided into head nurses (n=30) and nurses (n=170). Tools: Four tools were used Leadership Personal Assessment; the Enjoy Scale; Relationship-Based Care Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire (RBCKAQ); and Relationship-Based Care Evaluation Questionnaire (RBCEQ). Results: there were highly statistically significant differences between the head nurse's total leadership mean score before and immediately after and two months post-implementation at (P= .000), and there is a highly statistically significant difference in staff nurse's perception of their head nurse's total leadership mean score between before and immediately after and two months post-implementation at (P= .000).
