    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Management
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • Shared governance is recognized for boosting nurse engagement, motivation, and professional pride.
    • Typically applied in non-unionized settings, its potential in unionized environments is less explored.
    • This model aims to empower nurses and improve patient care quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation process of a Shared Governance model.
    • To explore its impact on a single nursing unit within a unionized hospital.
    • To assess its role in fostering staff growth, innovation, autonomy, and professionalism.

    Main Methods:

    • A Shared Governance model was implemented on a 29-bed neuroscience unit.
    • The setting was an 850-bed acute care teaching hospital.
