Abstract: PURPOSE: To study the leadership of head nurses in evidence-based practice of artificial airway management in ICU of tertiary hospitals in Shanghai through self-evaluation and other evaluation, and to compare the difference between them. Methods: From 8 October to 30 November 2018, at 8 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai, 42 ICU head nurses were selected to fill in the Implementation Leadership Scale (Self-rating version) and the ICU nurses to complete the Implementation Leadership Scale (Other-rating version), to measure the head nurse's leadership in evidence-based practice. The data were processed with SPSS 20.0 software package. Results: In the practice of evidence-based leadership, the score of supportive leadership behavior was the highest in both self-assessment and other-assessment, the score of knowledgeable leadership behavior was the lowest in the self-assessment, and the score of proactive leadership behavior was the lowest in other-evaluation. The score of knowledgeable leadership behavior rated by nurses was significantly higher than that by head nurse (P<0.05), and the score of supportive leadership behavior rated by nurses was significantly lower than that by head nurse (P<0.05). Conclusions: In the implementation of evidence-based practice of artificial airway management, the knowledgeable leadership behavior of head nurses is particularly important. The acquisition of manual airway management guidelines is the basis for head nurses to make and implement plans, so as to better support nurses' evidence-based practical learning and application.
