When the nurse practitioner (NP) role was first described in the early 1960s it was clear that important dimensions had been added to the role of the nurse. One of these dimensions was the increased professional autonomy. As the NP role continued to evolve, autonomy became a characterizing feature of the role. the purpose of this paper is to present basic assumptions concerning automony and its relationship to the definition of profession; to examine the implications of autonomy to the individual NP, to the nursing profession, and to the health care system; and to offer a model for considering professional autonomy in relation to the NP role.
20世纪60年代初首次描述执业护士（NP）角色时，很明显护士角色增加了重要维度。其中一个维度是职业自主性增强。随着NP角色不断演变，自主性成为该角色的一个显著特征。本文旨在阐述关于自主性及其与职业定义关系的基本假设；探讨自主性对个体NP、护理专业以及医疗保健系统的影响；并提供一个考虑与NP角色相关的职业自主性的模型。
