Area of Science:

Global health research capacity building.
Health systems strengthening for infectious diseases.
Nursing leadership in policy development.

Background:

A 5-year research program involving 20 researchers and users from six countries (Canada, Jamaica, Barbados, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa) focused on improving HIV/AIDS nursing care.
Nurses are pivotal in HIV prevention and AIDS care but have limited input into policy decisions.
This study investigated barriers and facilitators to nurses' engagement in policymaking.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the influence of workplace policies on nursing care for individuals and families affected by HIV.
To identify barriers and facilitators for nurses' participation in health policy development related to HIV/AIDS.

Main Methods:

A participatory action research design was employed for the program.
Purposive sampling recruited 51 nurses (unit managers, clinic/healthcare managers, senior nurse officers) for interviews.

Main Results:

Participants highlighted an urgent need for AIDS care policies to raise awareness and protect patients and healthcare workers.
Nurses across all participating countries reported a lack of involvement in policy development.
Barriers included poor top-down communication, insufficient information sharing, and lack of resources for policy implementation.

Conclusions:

Mobilizing nurses' involvement in policy development is crucial for effective HIV/AIDS care.
Sustained efforts are needed to address educational, research, and practice gaps in nursing policy engagement.
