The authors have noticed that a gap exists in the literature on how self-leadership might influence nurses’ implementation of CCOS. Self-leadership is about leadership applied to oneself. Critical care outreach services assist nurses with the nursing care of a patient whose health is declining. Leadership is needed for the successful implementation of CCOS. This article aims to outline the method the authors followed for developing the conceptual framework for how self-leadership amongst nurses influenced the functioning of CCOS.enLeadershipSelf-leadershipNursing educationPrivate hospitalPretoriaArticle
