Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice and Healthcare Policy
  • Healthcare Management and Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Increasing delegation of physician-authorized procedures to registered nurses.
  • Growing need to understand nurses' perspectives on expanded roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine registered nurses' attitudes toward expanding their authority.
  • Investigate relationships between these attitudes and job satisfaction, professional characteristics, and demographics.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study (2010-2011) in Israeli medical centers.
  • Survey of 833 nurses across 89 departments.
  • Assessed attitudes via self-report questionnaire on authority, autonomy, nurse-physician relations, workload, burnout, quality of care, and job satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Nurses reported positive attitudes towards expanded authority, with moderate acceptance of interpreting diagnostic tests.
  • Professional autonomy and nurse-physician relations were significant predictors of positive attitudes.
  • Younger nurses demonstrated more favorable attitudes towards changes in nursing authority.

Conclusions:

  • Professional transitions are occurring in Israel due to nurse shortages, expanding nurses' accountability and decision-making.
  • Findings enhance understanding of nursing staff attitudes towards expanded authority.
  • Redefining the scope of nursing practice is necessary within the current healthcare context.
