Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a Transformational Leadership Educational Program on the sense of responsibility among nursing leaders in Mosul city. The main objective was to assess the effectiveness of the program in improving knowledge about transformational leadership and the sense of responsibility among nursing leaders. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 60 nursing leaders participating in the study. The educational program consisted of four phases: Assessment, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data were collected using three validated instruments assessing knowledge about transformational leadership: a transformational leadership questionnaire and a sense of responsibility questionnaire. Statistical analysis included ANOVA with repeated measures, Friedman, Post Hoc Test (Dunn's), and Pearson coefficient. Results: The Interventional Group significantly improved the percentage of participants endorsing transformational leadership dimensions post-intervention. Intellectual stimulation, individualised consideration, and inspirational motivation showed substantial enhancement. The Control Group exhibited stable or slightly decreased percentages. Conclusion: The Transformational Leadership Educational Program positively influenced nursing leaders' perception of transformational leadership, particularly in critical dimensions. The study suggests that educational interventions can effectively enhance leadership skills and foster a heightened sense of responsibility among nursing leaders. Rigorous statistical analyses supported the robustness of the findings.
