The study aimed to investigate the situation of nurse prescribing, introduced in Poland in 2016, by analyzing the opinions of nurses, expected to be influential on nurses' actual practices, in response to legislative change to enable nurses to prescribe and comparing this with actual nurse prescribing behaviours during the early years of the legislation. The paper fills a knowledge gap and provides baseline data analysis for subsequent research. Nurses' opinions were collected during the period they were preparing themselves for prescribing. That data was compared with data on the character and extent of nurses' actual prescribing practices over the first two years of implementation. The study showed the number of nurse prescriptions increased. Comparing the first and second years of nurse prescribing, the number of nurse independent prescriptions more than doubled. Over the same period, the number of nurse supplementary prescriptions increased almost six-fold. The implementation of nurse prescribing has increased the scope of nursing care, especially in the treatment of the infections, pain and chronic conditions in the elderly.
本研究旨在通过分析护士对立法修改的意见，以了解波兰于 2016 年引入的护士处方权的现状，这些意见预计会对护士的实际实践产生影响，并将其与立法实施初期的实际护士处方行为进行比较。该论文填补了知识空白，并为后续研究提供了基线数据分析。在为开处方做准备期间收集了护士的意见。将这些数据与实施的头两年中关于护士实际处方行为的特征和程度的数据进行了比较。研究表明，护士的处方数量有所增加。比较护士处方的头两年，护士独立处方的数量增加了一倍多。同期，护士补充处方的数量增加了近六倍。护士处方的实施扩大了护理范围，特别是在治疗老年人的感染、疼痛和慢性病方面。
