Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews.
  • Purposeful sampling of national non-nursing decision-makers, nurse leaders, provincial managers, and frontline nurse managers in Kenya.
  • Content analysis of interview data guided by critical theory and feminist perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Nurses' involvement in Kenyan national policy processes is significantly limited.
  • Participation is often restricted to a few nurse leaders holding specific positions.
  • Hierarchical structures, systemic factors, and professional nursing issues are key barriers to engagement.

Conclusions:
