There is much current as well as long-standing concern that nurses need to be more involved in and also more adept at politics and political action for the advancement of the profession, and for the health and wellbeing of the public.
An historical scoping literature review was carried out to identify if, as well as why, when, and how nurses become involved in government or meso-level political action or politics, and what is or has been gained through this involvement.

Research and non-research articles on the topic were identified in a decade-by-decade search of the CINAHL database, all relevant ones were retained, and the per-decade findings in them were compared over time.
Only 25 research reports, published 1988-2019, were identified. These studies were conducted in a few, mostly developed, countries. They provide a varied picture of nurse or nursing association involvement in political action and policy circles. In contrast, the opinion and theory articles demonstrate increased nurse and nursing association involvement in, as well as rising skill in political action and public policy engagement, although primarily in the United States and Canada.
Research and case reports are needed now in all countries to correct the view that nurses and nursing associations are apolitical, and to gain information on how and why nurses and nursing associations become politically active and also determine what is gained through this activity.

在 CINAHL 数据库中按十年为一阶段搜索与该主题相关的研究和非研究文章，保留所有相关文章，并比较它们随时间的逐阶段发现。
仅确定了 25 篇研究报告，这些报告发表于 1988 年至 2019 年，研究地点在少数几个发达国家。这些研究提供了有关护士或护理协会参与政治行动和政策圈子的各种情况。相比之下，意见和理论文章表明，护士和护理协会更多地参与政治行动和公共政策的制定，并且在这方面的技能也在提高，尽管主要是在美国和加拿大。
现在所有国家都需要研究和案例报告，以纠正认为护士和护理协会不关心政治的观点，并获取有关护士和护理协会如何以及为何开始积极参与政治活动的信息，以及确定通过这种活动获得了什么。
