    Conclusions:

    • Equal conditions and fair treatment for nurses are essential for achieving equitable patient care.
    • Improving nurses' working environments and reducing oppression can enhance healthcare equity.
    • Fairness towards nurses is directly linked to increased satisfaction with the healthcare system.
