Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • Understanding nurses' perspectives on practice control is crucial for healthcare system development.
  • Nurse autonomy and independent practice are key areas of discussion in healthcare reform.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine registered nurses' attitudes toward nurse control over nursing practice in Illinois.
  • To identify factors associated with nurses' support for autonomy, independent practice, and reimbursement.

Main Methods:

  • A random sample of 323 registered nurses in Illinois was surveyed.
  • Regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of attitudes toward nurse control.

Main Results:

  • A majority of nurses supported nurse autonomy, independent practice, and third-party reimbursement.
  • A significant minority expressed opposition, particularly regarding independent practice.
  • Favorable attitudes were linked to college-based nursing programs, recent licensure, strong labor force attachment, and career commitment.

Conclusions:

  • While most Illinois nurses favor greater control over their practice, some concerns remain, especially about independent practice.
  • Educational background, career stage, and professional commitment significantly influence nurses' views on practice autonomy.
