Abstract

Background

Health policy critically influences a national healthcare system and nurse's roles, working conditions, and professional development opportunities, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Purpose

To explore and prioritize the major challenges and solution, and establish policy directions for improving nursing education in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Methods

The key stakeholders of nursing practice, education, policymaking, and regulation were involved in this modified Delphi study. Following two rounds of exploring priority issues and potential strategies, the participants of the final round assembled for consensual discussions on the establishment of policy directions.

Discussion

Innovations in nursing education systems, building educational capacity, and ensuring educational outcomes were suggested and agreed upon for the sequential improvement of nursing education. Timely enactment of these policies will enable the Kyrgyz Republic to mitigate nursing shortages, improve the quality of healthcare services, and enhance overall public health outcomes.

Conclusion

The policy suggestions derived from this study, including the improvement of nursing education quality and the assurance of nurses' competencies, have great potential for improving quality healthcare practice and sustaining an effective healthcare system.
