Even though the introduction of the role of the nurse prescriber promises improved access to medicines and increased flexibility in the workforce, the take-up of this role to date has been variable across the UK. This questionnaire-based study sought to compare the expectations of two distinct groups of nurses, one from a mental health and the other from a non-mental health background prior to becoming prescribers. Non-mental health nurses were of the opinion that being able to prescribe would increase efficiency and maximize resources, while mental health nurses saw prescribing primarily in terms of the benefits to clients--increased choice, improved access to care, better information about treatments and better quality of care.
尽管引入护士处方权有望改善药物获取途径并提高劳动力的灵活性，但迄今为止，这一角色在英国各地的接受程度参差不齐。这项基于问卷调查的研究旨在比较两组不同护士的期望，一组来自心理健康领域，另一组来自非心理健康背景，他们在成为处方者之前的期望。非心理健康领域的护士认为能够开处方会提高效率并使资源最大化，而心理健康领域的护士则主要从对患者的益处方面看待开处方——增加选择、改善护理获取、更好地了解治疗信息以及提高护理质量。
