ABSTRACT
In modern health-care , nursing managers play a strategic role in improving the quality of care and the skills of carers, since management and leadership strategies are known to be decisive in the deployment of resources and professional development. The aim of this study is to present the opinions and expectations of nursing coordinators regarding their managerial role. During the creation of a nursing service unifying the management of 3 local health authorities in Northern Italy, with different organizational and professional features, nursing coordinators were asked to fill in a questionnaire. Results showed that a priority aspect of the managerial role is to assess the appropriateness of care and the use of resources Their answers showed that they hoped for a style of management founded on aspects related to clinical government. For the style of leadership, they emphasized dedication to work, participation of staff in decision-making, group information and providing support in areas needing improvement. Although the study was territorial , it confirmed international guide-lines regarding the policies which give value to investments in the quality of organization and can be considered a point of reference for planning and creating future nursing services.
