Area of Science:

  • Nursing

  • Medical suspicion towards advanced practice roles like nurse practitioners (NPs) is a significant barrier.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the development of autonomous and independent roles in nursing literature, focusing on the nurse practitioner (NP) role.
  • To analyze power dynamics, nurse dissatisfaction, and interprofessional collaboration challenges in healthcare.
  • To propose solutions for improved medical-nursing coexistence centered on patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of national and international nursing publications.
