Area of Science:

  • Healthcare professional attitudes
  • Nursing scope of practice
  • Comparative quantitative research

Background:

  • Understanding healthcare professional perspectives is crucial for policy development.
  • Attitudes towards expanding nurses' authority can impact healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
  • Previous research indicates varying opinions among different healthcare roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the attitudes of physicians and registered nurses concerning the expansion of nursing authority.
  • To identify specific areas where nurse and physician attitudes diverge regarding extended nursing roles.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative quantitative study design was employed.
  • A self-report questionnaire assessed attitudes and perceptions of 134 nurses and physicians.
  • Convenience-snowball sampling was utilized, achieving high questionnaire reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.931).

Main Results:

  • Significant differences were observed in attitudes between nurses and physicians regarding expanded nursing authority (p < 0.05).
  • Nurses predominantly favored expanding their authority, while physicians generally opposed it.
  • Nurses expressed more positive attitudes towards specific procedures like drug administration and resuscitation compared to physicians (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Nurses exhibit more favorable attitudes than physicians towards expanding nursing authority, particularly in drug administration and resuscitation.
  • The findings suggest a need for further investigation into factors influencing physician-nurse relationships and attitudes on a larger scale.
  • Qualitative research is recommended to explore these attitudinal differences more deeply.
