Abstract

Abstract: With nurses at the forefront of health care, the need for their active engagement in policy has never been more urgent. Numerous national and global reports call for nurses to lead policy change. The Patton Zalon Ludwick Policy Assessment Framework is intended to answer this call by serving as a foundational guide to nurses' self-assessment of their health policy actions. It includes three dimensions: engagement, partnership, and reach, each with three levels. The levels of engagement are literacy, advocacy, and influence. The partnership levels are single unit or community group, interdisciplinary team(s), and broad-based coalitions. The reach levels are based on the location of policy work: local/unit/organization, regional/state, and national/global. The dimensions are interconnected, and the levels build upon one another but are not necessarily symmetrical, linear, or prescriptive. In this article, the authors describe each dimension and level in detail, and the accompanying tables provide examples of policy goals and actions. Nurses worldwide can use this framework to engage in self-reflection and envision actions to achieve their policy goals. It will enable nurses to evolve from being policy bystanders to becoming visible, credible policy leaders.

加强护士对卫生政策的影响力。
摘要:护士处于医疗保健的最前沿,她们积极参与政策制定的需求从未像现在这样迫切。许多国家和全球报告都呼吁护士领导政策变革。Patton Zalon Ludwick 政策评估框架旨在响应这一号召,作为护士对其卫生政策行动进行自我评估的基础指南。该框架包括三个方面:参与、合作和影响,每个方面又分为三个级别。参与的层次是扫盲、倡导和影响。合作层次包括单一单位或社区团体、跨学科团队和基础广泛的联盟。影响层面基于政策工作的地点:地方/单位/组织、地区/州和国家/全球。这些维度是相互关联的,各层次互为基础,但不一定是对称的、线性的或规定性的。在这篇文章中,作者详细描述了每个维度和层次,所附表格提供了政策目标和行动的示例。全世界的护士都可以利用这一框架进行自我反思,并设想采取行动实现其政策目标。它将使护士从政策旁观者发展成为可见、可信的政策领导者。
