A concept analysis of nurse practitioner autonomy
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSE PRACTITIONERS(2020)
摘要
Background: Nurse practitioner (NP) autonomy is often misunderstood and misconstrued. These misconceptions cause a confusing interplay of words that impedes advocating for policy change and ultimately hinders the profession. Objective: To develop a clear definition of NP autonomy to describe the professional role. Data sources: Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis was used to undertake a concept analysis of NP autonomy. The terms used to search for possible uses and definitions of NP autonomy in electronic databases included NP, autonomy, and concept analysis. In addition, the websites for nursing organizations, Google, Google Scholar, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary were searched and included in this analysis. This search yielded 29 articles, consisting of literature reviews, meta-synthesis, position papers, and qualitative and quantitative studies. Conclusions: Nurse practitioner autonomy should be defined as the NP's use of their experience, clinical judgment, and responsibility to practice without restriction in professional collaboration with other health care professionals. Autonomy allows NPs to practice to the maximum extent of their advanced education, participate in productive and voluntarily collaborations, and continue to positively influence health care discrepancies throughout the United States.
