Abstract

Background: The Nursing Now global campaign is aimed at raising the profile of nursing and its influence on policy and politics. Calls for the profession to have an increased role in policymaking are not new, but recent developments offer significant opportunities to advance this message.

Aim: To compare and contrast the published scholarly evidence, indexed in Web of Science (WoS), relating to how medicine and nursing influence policy and politics.

Method: A bibliometric analysis of scholarship was undertaken to determine how medicine and nursing influence policy and politics. Indexed articles in Web of Science were compared to examine the evolution of scholarly contributions by both professions.

Results: Since 1990, nursing and medicine have been consistent contributors to scholarship on policy and politics. At the same time, there has been an exponential growth in scholarly output, but nursing is now starting to fall behind. Nursing has focused on the necessary knowledge and skills, whereas medicine has focused on acting on specific issues.

Conclusion: There are multiple opportunities for nursing scholars to accelerate their indexed output to inform evidence-based advocacy, and influence policy and politics. These endeavours will increase their potential to inform future healthcare.

探索护理和医疗专业对政策和政治的影响。

背景:护理现在全球运动旨在提高护理的形象及其对政策和政治的影响。呼吁该专业在政策制定中发挥更大作用并不是什么新鲜事，但最近的事态发展为推进这一信息提供了重要机会。目的:比较和对比Web of Science (WoS)收录的有关医学和护理如何影响政策和政治的已发表学术证据。方法:采用文献计量学方法分析医学和护理对政策和政治的影响。对Web of Science上的索引文章进行了比较，以检查两种职业的学术贡献的演变。结果:自1990年以来，护理和医学一直是政策和政治学术的持续贡献者。与此同时，学术产出呈指数级增长，但护理学现在开始落后。护理侧重于必要的知识和技能，而医学侧重于针对具体问题采取行动。结论:护理学者有多种机会加快其索引输出，为循证倡导提供信息，并影响政策和政治。这些努力将增加它们为未来医疗保健提供信息的潜力。
