| Περίληψη: | Aim: To describe how implementation leadership manifests among formal and informal point of care nurse leaders during a successful evidence-based practice implementation. Design: A collective case study. Methods: A conceptual framework on shared implementation leadership guided the study. Two units known for strong implementation were selected as instrumental cases from a healthcare network. Data were collected from multiple sources (2022-2023), including document review, site visits, focus group and individual interviews with formal managerial and non-managerial nurse leaders, staff nurses, interdisciplinary clinical staff and departmental leaders. The Framework Method was used to thematically analyse within-case findings, followed by cross-case comparison. Results: Nurse leaders in formal and informal roles engaged in collaborative processes to collectively enact leadership behaviours throughout the implementation phases. Change-, relation- and task-oriented behaviours aimed to foster staff readiness, ensure supportive presence, structure implementation activities and reinforce the use of evidence-based practices on the units. Collaborative processes fostered leaders' engagement and kept one another informed to align and synchronise their collective actions. Conclusion: This study extends our understanding of implementation leadership in nursing by highlighting a shared and relational approach among diverse point of care leaders. Strengthening team-level processes is essential to enhance leadership capacity for implementation in nursing. Implications for the Profession: Given the global push for innovative, high-quality healthcare, strong leadership is needed to create conditions for implementation and practice change. This study makes visible how multiple and diverse leaders collectively support implementation. Impact: With much focus on nurse manager roles, there is a gap in the research showing how multiple point of care leaders facilitate implementation, which this study addresses. This study can serve as a template to assist nurse leaders in their implementation efforts and to advocate for developing diverse nurse leadership roles. Reporting Method: The report adheres to the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Quality research (COREQ) guidelines. Patient or Public Contribution: This study did not include patient or public involvement in the design, conduct or reporting.
