A Study of leadership of nursing student at Mission Faculty of Nursing, Asia-Pacific International University
Abstract
Assessment of leadership competence is important in planning for self-development among nursing
students. The purpose of this study was to study the leadership competence of nursing students at the
Mission Faculty of Nursing, Asia-Pacific International University. The subjects consisted of 75 fourth year
nursing students. The research instrument was a questionnaire, which had a content validity and the reliability
of .93. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that the mean score of leadership
among nursing students was high (X=3.55, S.D. = 0.98). Specifically, Ethical competency (X=3.82, S.D.=1.11),
Professional competencies (X=3.73, S.D.=0.94), Management competency (X=3.64, S.D.=0.91), and Political
economic and social competencies (X=3.79, S.D.=1.08) were high. On the contrary, Personal competency
(X=3.15, S.D.=0.98), Knowledge and Intelligence competencies (X=3.30, S.D. =0.79) and uses of technology
and foreign language competencies (X=3.46, S.D. =1.03) were moderate. The results from this study could be
used as preliminary information for teachers of the Nursing Leadership Course to improve teaching-learning
methods by enhancing students conceptual and systematic thinking as a leader which will lead to success
when working.
