“…The International Council of Nurses (ICN) views advocacy as central to nurses' contribution to the development of strong and resilient healthcare systems, supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly goal 3 regarding ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all at all ages (ICN, 2016; Water, Ford, Spence, & Rasmussen, 2016). Advocacy is recognized as a normative expression of nursing practice, promoting patient rights, health education, and informed decision‐making, among other aspects of care (Groenwald & Eldridge, 2020; Water et al, 2016). Staebler et al (2017) argue the importance of policy education, competence in policy analysis, and advocacy action in nurse education, as all aspects of health care practice and quality result from policy.…”

“…Nurses must be able to evaluate the impact of policy on health care and act when needed. Becoming more politically competent through critical examination of health policy and participation in professional bodies and interdisciplinary coalitions for health advocacy are suggestions for developing political advocacy in nursing (Groenwald & Eldridge, 2020).…”

Moral distress results from the threat to professional moral integrity and identity. This phenomenon is well documented in nursing literature. Persistent and unresolved moral distress is frequently linked to high nursing staff turnover and shortages. Engagement in a structured hermeneutic critical reflective process facilitated identification of micro, meso, and macro factors influencing the experience of moral distress. Following this process, a theorized model was developed to illustrate interactions between influences contributing to the experience of moral distress in nurses. The model highlights where opportunities lay to take action to avoid or minimize the negative consequences of this phenomenon. Professional resilience is achieved via the conscientious development of professional identity and practice of critical reflection, as components of enculturation of nurses into the profession. Undergraduate and further nurse education activities must focus on developing the necessary attitude, confidence, and skills to address issues in practice which contribute to the experience moral distress to build resilience.

“…Although the ratio of nurses in the public sector who are union members is high in Turkey, this contribution is unfortunately limited to membership size (Aydoğan, 2007). However, if all coalitions that report that the problems are bigger and accept various health‐care professionals other than nurses as members can adopt a common strategy, their chances of political success are very high (Groenwald & Eldridge, 2020). Although there are many professional associations in Turkey for different specialties, it is reported that membership rates in professional associations are low among nurses in Turkey, and most members only pay the membership fees and do not assume active duty (Altuntaş & Yetginler, 2020).…”

Studying the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the current nursing workforce and the training of future nurses is important. This study aimed to assess the views of senior nursing students pursuing health policy courses on the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the political power and awareness of nursing profession. Document analysis method, one of the qualitative enhancement patterns, was employed in this study. This study was conducted in a nursing school with a sample comprising 34 nursing students. The data were collected from online homework documents and evaluated with thematic analysis. Students on the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the nursing profession were categorized into three main themes and nine subthemes. Students reported that although the visibility of nursing increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic, the problems of this profession did not change. The results showed that depoliticization was an important obstacle in the fight against these problems and students stated that the struggle could be realized together with a unified and strong political voice. Students suggested being organized in the struggle against problems, addressing unions and associations, and political awareness and political participation as a remedy.

“…That is, there is the unique opportunity to promote health during interactions.23,24 A given study indicated that changes in community health demands and the need for changes in health services lead to exponential growth in primary health care nursing both in Australia and in other countries 25 , besides the fact that quality of care provides a considerable increase in interest in identifying the factors that can effectively hinder concrete health action. [25][26] Another study that explored the contribution of nurses in advocacy and health policies noted that nursing leaders should provide users with the information necessary for their treatment, encourage their empowerment, respect their beliefs and values and, above all, be a voice to defend them when necessary.27…”
