This book explores the leading role played by nursing science in the European Nordic countries. Recognized leaders in nursing research from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, reflect on the leadership of nurses, the societal developments and the state of nursing science in their country, and the successes and remaining challenges nurses are facing. The book highlights representative leadership projects focusing on e.g. evidenced-based clinical practice, education and research that have impacted patient and healthcare outcomes in each country.

The book shows how nursing, as a scientific discipline, has been developing rapidly in these five Nordic countries. They have more nurses per capita than other countries (OECD 2016) and healthcare is provided to all citizens. Moreover, nursing qualification in the Nordic countries was based on university education early on, and there are more professors of nursing than in other countries. Accordingly, this book on Leadership in nursing within the Nordic countries shares essential and pioneering expertise that will benefit nurses and nurse scientists around the globe.

Hafsteinsdóttir, RN, PhD, is a professor of nursing at the Faculty of Nursing, University of Iceland and a senior researcher at the Department of Nursing Science, Julius Center, University Medical Center Utrecht, and Department of Health care at the University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht the Netherlands.

Dr. Hafsteinsdóttir received her BSc degree in 1984 from University of Iceland, her MSc in 1994 from University of Wales and her PhD in 2003 from University of Utrecht. Her research has focused on nursing rehabilitation of patients with stroke and on leadership research, PhD education and leadership development of nurses. She chairs the Dutch Leadership Mentoring in Nursing Research for postdoctoral nurses and the Nursing Leadership Educational Program for Doctoral Nursing Students and Postdoctoral Nurses in Europe, the Nurse-Lead project, a collaboration between seven partners in six European countries which include Iceland, Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Lithuania and Portugal. Dr. Hafsteinsdóttir serves on numerous national and international committees. She gives lectures nationally and internationally.

Dr. Kirsten Lomborg, RN, MScN, PhD is a professor at Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University and from 2018 partly employed at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Denmark. She received her registered nursing certificate in 1980 and has continued to qualify for the highest level of education in nursing science combined with several supplementary educations in didactics, leadership, and research management. From 2007 to 2012 Kirsten Lomborg was the head of Section for Nursing at Aarhus University, Denmark. Throughout her career, she has strived for the connection between nursing theory and practice and close collaboration between clinical practice, education, research and management. In 2013 she was appointed professorship with special responsibility in patient involvement. This responsibility has since been her driving force and has resulted in several national contributions and international publications along with the establishment and lead of the Research Programme in Patient Involvement at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Her research interests include person-centred care, shared decision-making, self-management support, and personal care planning, often combined with new technical and structural solutions where patient-reported outcome measures form an important element of developing value-based healthcare that works on the users' premises.

Dr. Helena Leino-Kilpi, RN, PhD is a professor and chair, Head of the Department of Nursing Science, University of Turku, Faculty of Medicine, and Nurse director (part-time) in Turku University Hospital in Finland. She is nationally and internationally well-known expert in the field of nursing and health sciences, a registered nurse with clinical expertise in surgical-intensive nursing care, MEd and PhD in nursing science.

Dr. Helga Jonsdottir, RN, PhD, FAAN, is a Professor at the Faculty of Nursing, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland and holds a joint position as an academic chair of nursing care for chronically ill adults at Landspitali University Hospital Reykjavik Iceland. She received her baccalaureate degree in nursing from the University of Iceland in 1981 and a master's degree in nursing in 1988 from the University of Minnesota in the USA. In 1995 she defended her doctoral thesis in nursing from the same school. Jonsdottir's research has focused on developing partnership-based nursing care for chronically ill patients and their families. Along with practice development, assessment of complex health problems, e.g. hemispatial neglect, has recently become prominent in her research. The translation of science through academic-practice partnership has extended from University of Iceland and Landspitali University Hospital to include chronic care populations in the hospital, intensive care units, in out-patient clinics -pulmonary, neurological and elderly- to research and interdisciplinary and international collaboration at University Medical Center, Utrecht the Netherlands and some universities in Scandinavia. These activities have received funding from the Research Fund of the University of Iceland, Rannis, the Icelandic Center for Research, NordForsk, the Nordic Economic and Social Research Council and the Erasmus + Programme.

Dr. Marit Kirkevold, RN, Ed.D. is a professor of nursing science at the University of Oslo, Norway.
