Sister Carolina S. Agravante, SPC, RN, PhD
What is the purpose of the CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Model
(1) For nursing educators to revisit their basic responsibility of educating professional nurses who are
responsive to technological, educational and social changes happening in the Philippines society today (globalization = changes)
(2) The formation of new nursing leaders -with new vision, new traits and new formation to serve the society as professional nurse. (outcome of the model - to be transformative)
(3) Nurses need competent leaders with a dream of what nursing can be, whose basic stand is caring and service who are competent in nursing, assertive of their own rights with the help profession. (even if there are changes due to globalization, leaders should still be carrying the basics and committed to the profession.
This is derived from the concept of leadership from a
psycho-spiritual point of view. It is designed to lead to radical change from apathy or indifference to a spiritual person.
CASAGRA: Transformative Leadership Model: Servant Leader Formula and the Nursing Faculty’s Transformative Leadership Behavior
How did Agravante develop the CASAGRA: Transformative Leadership Model: Servant Leader Formula and the Nursing Faculty’s Transformative Leadership Behavior?
Her theory was based on nursing faculty from two different institutions. She tested the transformational leadership behavior of the faculty members, which is a middle range theory in itself because it focuses on a specific population in pursuit of an outcome which was servant leadership.
What does transformative teaching include in the CASAGRA model?
(1) Creative
(2) Caring
(3) Critical
(4) Contemplative
(5) Collegial
Explain the CASAGRA: Transformative Leadership Model: Servant Leader Formula and the Nursing Faculty’s Transformative Leadership Behavior.
When care complex along with transformative teaching and servant leader spirituality (holistic view) are combined, the nursing faculty is able to demonstrate his own servant leadership behavior. And despite globalization or changes in profession, spirituality should still be instilled.
This is correlated to their leadership behaviour.
Care complex personality (transformative teaching factors will all account to what kind of leadership that person will demonstrate)
Explain the conceptual paradigm of care complex theory of Agravante.
A professional nurse who studied and procured a certain level of mastery in the discipline and has developed their own core care complex (personal care, care complex, and folk care) will now form their own form of professional care. These caring behavior will be projected to the well being of their clients.
(When that nursing faculty has a an optimal servant leadership it will be radiated to his students, and when his students become nurses and leaders in their own way, they will radiate and contribute to their patient’s overall well being.
This is an interventional research conducted for the nursing faculty to contribute to their servant leadership?
Servant leadership Spirituality
What does Servant leadership Spirituality program include?
a. Spiritual exercise
b. Resolution of the care complex in the personality of
an individual;
c. A seminar-workshop on transformative teaching
These are variable (nucleus of care experiences, culture based-care practices) possessed by an individual through formal studies; person’s self-awareness of the nursing faculty
Self-mastery (care complex)
These is the enactment of caring and being proactive in face of challenges for the profession (inclusion of the 5C’s)
Special Nursing Expertise
What are the three-fold transformation leadership major?
(1) Servant leadership Spirituality
(2) Self-mastery
(3) Special Nursing Expertise
This is the ability to model the servant-leadership qualities to students → bringing the best of students; competence in nursing skills, commitment to the profession and sense of collegiality (within school and community)
Servant-Leadership Behavior
This is the force within the nursing profession that sets the vision for its practitioners, lays down the roles and functions and influences the direction toward which the profession should go.
Nursing leadership
This is referred to as reflective teaching
Transformative teaching
This is a psychospiritual model, was an effective means for faculty to become better teachers and servant-leaders.
CASAGRA Transformative Leadership (when this model is being used, the leader is also seen as someone with spirituality)
This is a is a structure in the personality of the
caregiver that is significantly related to the leadership
behavior.
Care complex
This is an effective modality in enhancing the nursing faculty’s servant-leadership behavior.
CASAGRA servant-leadership formula (3 modes)
This is directly related to leadership behavior.
Vitality of Care Complex of the nursing faculty
This is the the cornerstone of nursing leadership. According to care complex of Agravante, caring personality rests on the possession of a care complex with in a person as an energy source of caring
dynamic care complex
This runs parallel to the generic elements of the transformative-leadership model.
Servant Leadership Formula
This is the guide that desired for the modern educative process designed to form the millennium professional nurse.
Transformative teaching
This is the practice of caring and proactive in face of challenges for the profession go hand-in-hand.
Expertise
What were the weaknesses of the CASAGRA modeL?
(1) CASAGRA transformative leadership limits only on Roman Catholic and Christians nursing educators; it did not consider other religion to this study. In the Philippines we have a variety of religion present. Every religion has its own traditions and practices to be considered.
(2) According to the study, the control and study groups were selected from the same faculty in the two schools, it is highly possible that experience could have been discussed casually in faculty room and in some way must contaminated the intervention.(due to pretest and post test - Hawthorne effect)
What were the strengths of the CASAGRA model?
(1) It provided the task of the formation of the nurse leaders at the baccalaureate level so that the profession assured the graduates possess the mind and heart of a nursing leader who is of the nursing profession.
(2) It can also be use in other educational settings not just on nursing profession.
