Abstract
This study explored civic engagement and related variables among registered nurses and non-nurses. Historical influences that have shifted engagement are discussed. This was a cross-sectional, observational study. Data was collected in a convenience sample (n = 727) of registered nurses (n = 232) and non-nurses (n = 495) and was analyzed using descriptive and ANOVA statistics. Nurses were more engaged than non-nurses (p = .000). Age, education, and field of practice were significant variables among nurses. Nurses are positioned to answer the call to civically engage for health-related issues. Findings underscore ways to elevate and harness civic engagement among nurses.
期刊介绍：
This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field.
