Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses in Shandong Province and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:In December 2024, 220 Interventional Operating Room nurses from 46 ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province were selected for a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire, Clinical Leadership Survey, Chinese version of Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-C) , and Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals (JSE-HP) were used as survey instruments. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence, empathy, and clinical leadership.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed and 204 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 92.73% (204/220) . The clinical leadership scores of the 204 Interventional Operating Room nurses were (66.35±8.74) , and the dimensions scored, in descending order, as encouraging the heart, enabling others to act, modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, and challenging the process. The mean scores of WLEIS-C and JSE-HP items were (5.88±0.90) and (4.61±0.63) , respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the nature of employment and whether or not they participated in leadership training were influencing factors for clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses (partial regression coefficients of -2.831 and -2.999, respectively; P<0.05) . Emotional intelligence and empathy ability among Interventional Operating Room nurses were positively correlated with clinical leadership ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical leadership of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room of ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province is at a moderate to high level. Nurses who participate in leadership training, have staffing, have greater empathy, and have higher emotional intelligence have greater clinical leadership. It is recommended that nursing administrators add leadership-related courses to the training of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room, and take steps to improve nurses' emotional intelligence and empathy ability, thereby promoting clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses.
