“…Thirty-seven papers were focused on the development, process, or evolution of an organization's policy advocacy work. Most papers focused on organizations’ advocacy efforts related to a specific policy issue or topic including: nurse training and education ( Fondiller, 1980 ; Hall-Long, 1995 ; Hardy, 1985 ; Hardy, 1988 ; Leurer, 2013 ), advanced practice or nurse practitioner practice ( Hansen-Turton et al, 2009 ; Jones, 2004 ; Madler et al, 2014 ; O’Brien, 2003 ; Sampson, 2009 ; Sharp, 1994 ; Young, 1983 ); nursing shortages, salaries, and staffing issues ( Birnbach & Orr, 1993 ; Eaton, 2012 ; Green et al, 2004 ; Hundemer & Durando, 2014 ; Kishi & Green, 2008 ; Wieck et al., 2004 ), healthcare reform ( Rubotzky, 2000 ), women’s suffrage ( Lewenson, 1989 ), registration status ( Birnbach, 1982 ), nursing legislation ( Brekken & Evans, 2011 ; Young, 1983 ), insurance for the aged and enactment of Medicare ( Woods, 1989 ), community health ( Cho & Kashka, 2004 ), primary healthcare ( Whyte & Stone, 2000 ), continence services ( Thomas et al, 2004 ), cancer care ( Rieger & Moore, 2002 ), environmental health ( MacDonald, 2012 , Sattler, 2003 ), lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender health and equality ( Keepnews, 2011 ), and key legislation such as the Canadian Health Act ( Dick et al, 1986 ). Of the 37 papers, six were focused on examining nursing organizations’ policy advocacy agenda in a more evolutionary and holistic manner and described their engagement in multiple policy issues over an extended period of time ( Bednash, 2015 ; Betts, 1996 ; <...>…”

“…Some papers were focused on discussing strategies more broadly while others focused on the strategies used by specific organizations. Commonly identified strategies included interorganizational collaboration and coalitions ( Baumgart, 1993 ; Bednash, 2015 ; Betts, 1996 ; Birnbach & Orr, 1993 ; Brekken & Evans, 2011 ; Chiu et al, 2020b ; Cho & Kashka, 2004 ; Dick et al, 1986 ; Fyffe, 2009 ; Green et al, 2004 ; Hall-Long, 1995 ; Hardy, 1985 ; Hansen-Turton et al., 2009 ; Jones, 2004 ; Kenner, 1995 ; Kishi & Green, 2008 ; MacDonald, 2012 ; Madler et al, 2014 ; Miyamoto & Cook, 2019 ; Mosley, 1996 ; O’Brien, 2003 ; Rieger & Moore, 2002 ; Rubotzky, 2000 ; Sampson, 2009 ; Sattler, 2003 ; Sharp, 1994 ; Thomas et al, 2004 ; Wieck et al, 2004 ; Whyte & Stone, 2000 ), meeting with policymakers and government ( Betts, 1996 ; Brekken & Evans, 2011 ; Cho & Kashka, 2004 ; Green et al, 2004 ; Hansen-Turton et al, 2009 ; Hall-Long, 1995 ; Hardy, 1985 ; Kishi & Green, 2008 ; Macdonald, 2012 ; Madler et al, 2014 ; Miyamoto & Co...…”

Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice

Policy advocacy is a fundamental component of nursing's social mandate. While it has become a core function of nursing organizations across the globe, the discourse around advocacy has focused largely on the responsibilities and accountabilities of individual nurses, with little attention to the policy advocacy work undertaken by nursing organizations. To strengthen this critical function, an understanding of the extant literature is needed to identify areas that require further research. We conducted a scoping review to examine the nature, extent, and range of scholarly work focused on nursing organizations and policy advocacy. A systematic search of six databases produced 4,731 papers and 68 were included for analysis and synthesis. Findings suggest that the literature has been increasing over the years, is largely non-empirical, and covers a broad range of topics ranging from the role and purpose of nursing organizations in policy advocacy, the identity of nursing organizations, the development and process of policy advocacy initiatives, the policy advocacy products of nursing organizations, and the impact and evaluation of organizations’ policy advocacy work. Based on the review, we identify several research gaps and propose areas for further research to strengthen the influence and impact of this critical function undertaken by nursing organizations.

“…Some barriers related to access issues, such as the non‐availability of research, lack of policy and political content in education and the difficulties of synchronizing programmes with available legislative session time. In addition to these two clusters, Hall‐Long () and Gebbie et al. () noted that the fragmentation of the nursing profession and the lack of clear and consistent messages were also problematic.…”

Introduction: For several decades, there have been repeated calls for nurses to become more involved in policy and political processes. Aims: The purpose of this article is to conduct an integrative review to identify and assess the current state of the science relating to supporting the pursuit of greater involvement by the nursing profession in policy and political processes. Design: Standard integrative review procedures were used to identify studies that examined how policy competence could be achieved. A comparative thematic approach to synthesis was used. Both published and grey literature written in English between January 1965 and January 2015 were identified via a structured search of CINAHL, SCOPUS, Science Direct and Google Scholar. Results: Forty-five primary studies were identified with literature from North America dominating, but contributions from low-and middle-income countries have recently started to feature. Studies tended to focus on the immediate impact of didactic and action learning-based approaches. The majority of articles were descriptive survey designs utilizing small convenience samples. Conclusions and policy implication: Many programmes of education have focused on developing an understanding of legislative policy and political processes, but the development of policy and political competencies at team and institutional levels has been ignored. Existing research have looked at the short-term effects of educational programmes. At this time, there are conflicting reports on the impact of variables such as gender and educational preparation on policy and political competence. There is an urgent need to address these major gaps if nurses at all levels are to play a full role in shaping policy and political process. IntroductionThere have been repeated calls over several decades for nurses to have a bigger role in influencing health and social policy. Authors have frequently acknowledged that, in general terms, nurses are inadequately prepared to operate in the policy arena (Adams et al. 2011;Antrobus & Brown 1997;Ferguson 1998 FundingThis research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial or not-or-profit sectors. Conflict of interestNo conflict of interest has been declared by the authors. 135© 2016 International Council of Nurses Literature Review at both the knowledge required (content) and the processes that can be used to support the development of policy and political competence. While these articles are informative, they lack a comprehensive and systematic examination of the work published in relation to this important topic. AimThe purpose of this article is to conduct an integrative review to identify and assess the current state of the science relating to supporting the pursuit of greater involvement by the nursing profession in policy (at team/ institutional/organizational level) and political (public/legislative) processes. MethodTo achieve the aim of this study, the authors conducted a structured examination of the published and grey li...
