There has been considerable debate in South Africa as to what type of organization would best represent the interests of nurses and facilitate their contribution to the achievement of changes in health care. This paper reports their background to and findings of the opinions of nurses in South Africa of different organizations, namely a professional nursing association, a health worker organization and a trade union. The results of the survey show that the South African Nursing Association has performed reasonably in meeting nurses' professional needs, but poorly in meeting their socio-economic needs. There is dissatisfaction with some of the Association's policies, widespread ignorance about trade unions and health worker organizations and resistance to strike action. The policy implications of the findings for the future organization of nurses in South Africa are explored.
在南非，关于哪种类型的组织最能代表护士的利益并促进他们为实现医疗保健变革做出贡献，一直存在着相当多的争论。本文报告了南非不同组织（即专业护理协会、卫生工作者组织和工会）中护士意见的背景和调查结果。调查结果显示，南非护理协会在满足护士的专业需求方面表现尚可，但在满足他们的社会经济需求方面表现不佳。对该协会的一些政策存在不满，对工会和卫生工作者组织普遍缺乏了解，并且抵制罢工行动。本文探讨了这些调查结果对南非未来护士组织的政策影响。
