Nurses' political engagement is needed for societal advancements.
The purpose of this study was to explain why and how nurses became politically active, and what they achieved.
Qualitative, constant-comparative data analysis was used for this study. After 10 elected or politically-active Canadian nurses were interviewed, data saturation was confirmed.
All were motivated by early life events to realize the importance of social justice and good government. Their nursing education and work equipped them to be capable of engaging in political spheres. All had developed knowledge of relevance for political purposes; in addition to confidence, communication skills, and other abilities to be effective politically. All highlighted the importance of being encouraged and assisted to engage politically. Positive micro-, meso-, and macro-level benefits of this involvement were identified.
More nurses should be inspired and helped to become active politically. It is critically important for nurses to inform and advance public policy, through direct political activities.
社会进步需要护士的政治参与。
本研究的目的是解释护士为何以及如何在政治上变得活跃，以及他们取得了什么成果。
本研究采用定性的、持续比较的数据分析方法。在对10名当选的或政治活跃的加拿大护士进行访谈后，确认了数据饱和。
所有人都受到早年生活事件的激励，认识到社会正义和善治的重要性。他们的护理教育和工作使他们有能力参与政治领域。所有人都积累了与政治目的相关的知识；此外还有信心、沟通技巧和其他在政治上发挥效力的能力。所有人都强调了在政治参与方面得到鼓励和帮助的重要性。确定了这种参与在微观、中观和宏观层面带来的积极益处。
应该激励和帮助更多护士在政治上变得活跃。护士通过直接的政治活动为公共政策提供信息并推动其发展至关重要。
