INTRODUCTION: The intensive care unit is one of the specialized units in
hospitals where head nurses are responsible for both motivating the personnel and
providing high quality care. Understanding of the lived experiences of head
nurses could help develop new assumptions of the ICU. The present study was
therefore conducted to describe the lived experiences of head nurses working in
ICU. METHODS: In this phenomenological study, data were collected through
unstructured in-depth interviews with 5 ICU head nurses in Northern Iran and then
analyzed using 7 steps Colaizzi's method. RESULTS: Despite the "distressing
atmosphere of the ICU", the "difficulty of managing the ICU" and the "difficulty
of communication in the ICU", which encourages the "desire to leave the unit"
among ICU head nurses, the "desire to stay in the unit" is stronger and head
nurses are highly motivated to stay in the unit because the unit "develops a
feeling of being extraordinary", "creates an interest in providing complicated
care to special patients", "facilitates the spiritual bond", "develops a
professional dynamism" and "creates an awareness about the nature of intensive
care" among them. CONCLUSION: According to the result, ICU head nurses are still
inclined to work in the unit and achieve success in spite of the problems that
persist in working in the ICU. As the individuals' motivation can be the backbone
of organizations, and given that individuals with a high enthusiasm for success
are productive, hospital managers can take advantage of this strength in choosing
their head nurses.
