Political astuteness, including awareness, knowledge, and involvement, is necessary if nurses are to engage in policy advocacy-a vital aspect of the nursing profession. However, little is known about the effects of learning activities, such as legislative days, on political astuteness. The purpose of this research was to determine if political astuteness changed after participants attended a state nurse legislative day. Pre and post data were collected from participants in two studies (N = 80 and N = 34) using the Political Astuteness Inventory (PAI). Political astuteness scores were significantly higher after participants attended legislative day as compared to before. Age and educational rank were positively correlated with political astuteness. Experiential activities such as attending nurse legislative days that offer opportunities to learn policy advocacy skills can enhance knowledge of and participation in the policy process.
如果护士要参与政策倡导（这是护理专业的一个重要方面），政治敏锐性，包括意识、知识和参与度，是必不可少的。然而，对于诸如立法日等学习活动对政治敏锐性的影响，我们知之甚少。本研究的目的是确定参与者参加州护士立法日后政治敏锐性是否发生了变化。在两项研究（N = 80和N = 34）中，使用政治敏锐性量表（PAI）从参与者那里收集了前后数据。与参加立法日之前相比，参与者参加立法日后的政治敏锐性得分显著更高。年龄和教育程度与政治敏锐性呈正相关。诸如参加护士立法日等提供学习政策倡导技能机会的体验活动，可以增强对政策过程的了解和参与度。
