Abstract
SALDIAS FERNANDEZ, Mª Angélica; PARRA-GIORDANO, Denisse and MARTI GUTIERREZ, Trinidad. Nursing participation in Public Policies, why is it important? Integrative review of the literature. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.65, pp.590-624. Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.455361.
Objective:
To analyze the scientific evidence available in the literature regarding the role of the political participation of the nursing profession.
Method:
Integrative literary review in six stages, in MEDLINE / PUBMED, ISI WEB OF SCIENCE, EBSCOHOST WEB, LILACS, and SCIELO databases 2010 - 2020 in English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, adjusted to PRISMA requirements. The data were summarized by thematic analysis.
Results:
From 75 texts, 23 were analyzed. 35% of the publications were made between 2010 to 2012, 48% are from the United States, 65% were obtained from PUBMED, and 26% are case studies. Two categories of work are obtained: Political participation of the nursing profession and Virtue and competences; Strategies and challenges to participate in PPs. Similarities are shown between both categories.
Conclusion:
Nursing has socio-political activism promoted by nurses in different contexts. To the extent that nursing professionals become aware of political involvement as an expression of socio-political knowledge, their participation favors the public policy process. It is an opportunity for change given their strategic position as referents of care of people in health systems.
