Abstract

This study explores the practical application of nursing management led by head nurses to enhance team communication and collaboration within clinical settings. By integrating leadership theories with nursing practice, this research adopts a qualitative methodology to examine the effects of strategic communication and teamwork enhancement initiatives. Through interviews, observations, and the analysis of case studies in various hospital departments, the study identifies key barriers to effective team communication and collaboration, including hierarchical structures, lack of standardized communication protocols, and insufficient training. Solutions implemented involve targeted communication skills training, the establishment of interdisciplinary teamwork protocols, and leadership workshops for head nurses. The outcomes indicate significant improvements in team efficiency, patient care quality, and staff satisfaction. This research underscores the importance of head nurses in fostering an environment conducive to open communication and collaborative practice, thereby advancing patient care and team performance.
