. The nurses' strike in the United Kingdom: an overview of the reasons, debate and implications.
In the UK, where the National Health Service (NHS) was founded, one of the most important and long-lasting strikes in nursing is taking place.
To understand the historical, professional, political/social reasons for the UK nurse's strike.
Historical, scientific literature and data from key informant interviews have been analysed. Data has been summarized narratively.
On 15th December 2022, more than 100,000 NHS nurses went on strike in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales asking for an increased salary; on the 6th and 7th of February and 1st of March the protest has continued. By improving pay, nurses believe the attractiveness of the profession can increase and counteract the loss of nurses who are leaving the public for the private sector, and the lack of attractiveness of the profession towards young people. The strike is organized by the Royal College of Nursing in a structured form which gives nurses precise information on how it should be explained to patients: according to a survey, 79% of the population supports the nurses' strike. However, not all agree with this strike action.
The media, social media and professional debate is passionate with some polarization between who is in favor and who is against. Nurses strike not only for better wages but also to increase patient safety. What we see in the UK today is the result of years of austerity, lack of investment and health priorities: a similar situation experienced in several countries as well.
英国护士罢工：原因、争论及影响概述
在创立了国民医疗服务体系（NHS）的英国，一场最为重要且持久的护士罢工正在发生。
了解英国护士罢工的历史、专业、政治/社会原因。
分析了历史、科学文献以及关键信息提供者访谈的数据。数据已进行叙述性总结。
2022年12月15日，超过10万名英国国家医疗服务体系的护士在英格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士举行罢工，要求提高薪资；2月6日、7日以及3月1日，抗议活动仍在继续。护士们认为，提高薪资能增强该职业的吸引力，抵消护士从公共部门流向私营部门的流失现象，以及该职业对年轻人缺乏吸引力的问题。此次罢工由皇家护理学院以结构化形式组织，为护士提供了关于如何向患者解释罢工的精确信息：根据一项调查，79%的民众支持护士罢工。然而，并非所有人都认同此次罢工行动。
媒体、社交媒体和专业辩论都很激烈，支持和反对的阵营之间存在一定的两极分化。护士罢工不仅是为了获得更高的工资，也是为了提高患者安全。我们如今在英国看到的情况是多年来财政紧缩、缺乏投资以及医疗重点失衡的结果：其他几个国家也经历过类似情况。
