Enhancing nursing autonomy involves several strategies:
1. Continuing Education: Encouraging nurses to pursue advanced degrees and certifications can empower them with the expertise needed for independent decision-making. 2. Supportive Leadership: Leaders and managers should create an environment that values and supports autonomous nursing practice. 3. Policy Advocacy: Nurses should be involved in policymaking processes to advocate for regulations that support their autonomy. 4. Collaborative Practice: Fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual respect among healthcare professionals can help nurses exercise their autonomy more effectively.
