Participation of nurse managers in policy-making could help policy-makers to propose relevant and effective policies and support other policy actors involved with these processes.
This study aimed at exploring the attitudes and perceived benefits of nurse managers' participation in the health policy-making process.
In this descriptive qualitative research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 nurse managers, government officials, and faculty members. Recruitment was based on purposive sampling from different regions across Iran. A thematic analysis was performed in MAXQDA (version 2012).
After analysis of the qualitative data, four themes and 13 sub-themes emerged. The themes were feelings about nurse managers' participation, advantages of nurse managers' participation, problems due to the non-participation of nurse managers, and recommendations for improvement of the policy-making process.
The outcomes provided new insights into the perceived benefits of and attitudes towards nurse managers' participation in health policy making in the Iranian setting. It is crucial to strengthen the capacity for nurse managers' participation in health policy making to develop effective healthcare policies.
护理管理者参与政策制定有助于政策制定者提出相关且有效的政策，并支持参与这些过程的其他政策行为者。
本研究旨在探讨护理管理者参与卫生政策制定过程的态度和感知到的益处。
在这项描述性定性研究中，对16名护理管理者、政府官员和教职员工进行了半结构化访谈。招募基于伊朗不同地区的目的抽样。在MAXQDA（2012版）中进行了主题分析。
对定性数据进行分析后，出现了四个主题和13个子主题。这些主题分别是对护理管理者参与的感受、护理管理者参与的优势、护理管理者不参与导致的问题以及改进政策制定过程的建议。
研究结果为伊朗背景下护理管理者参与卫生政策制定的感知益处和态度提供了新的见解。加强护理管理者参与卫生政策制定的能力对于制定有效的医疗政策至关重要。
