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.

加强护士在卫生政策中的影响力。


由于护士处于医疗保健的最前沿，因此他们积极参与政策的需求变得前所未有的迫切。许多国家和全球报告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本指南。它包括三个维度：参与度、伙伴关系和影响力，每个维度又分为三个层次。参与程度包括素养、宣传和影响力。合作伙伴级别包括单一单位或社区团体、跨学科团队和基础广泛的联盟。覆盖范围水平取决于政策工作的地点：地方/单位/组织、区域/州和国家/全球。这些维度是相互关联的，各个层次相互构建，但不一定是对称的、线性的或规定性的。在本文中，作者详细描述了每个维度和级别，随附的表格提供了政策目标和行动的示例。世界各地的护士可以使用这个框架进行自我反思并设想实现其政策目标的行动。它将使护士从政策旁观者发展成为可见的、可信的政策领导者。
