This theme is linked to participants’ perception of how autonomy can be developed in the junior members of the nursing staff. TOO was responsible for the data acquisition and analysis. The questions were planned but flexible [19] so that when required, the researcher altered the sequence of questions and probed for more information [20] to tease out strands of participants’ narratives to complete the story [21].

Autonomy is implicated in power relations between doctors and nurses and between men and women. There appears to be no set definition of autonomy and interpretations of autonomy were found to be diverse. Knowledge use in nursing practice: the importance of practical understanding and personal involvement. The aim of this essay is to explore the ethical principles, mainly looking at the principle of autonomy; Ethical principles are used for staff to meet the requirements of others to an appropriate standard of social and professional behaviour, General Medical Council. Sometimes I think the pressures come from outside of the ward in regard to this which is kind of outside us. The senior nurses believed that when support in making decisions is provided to the junior nurses, they develop self-confidence and are enabled to practice autonomously. Participants described autonomy as the ability to make evidence-based decisions such as being dependent on the availability of the best, up-to-date knowledge and research, without which practice would be unsafe: “…but without having that knowledge, sometimes these decisions are perhaps not safe decisions, if your knowledge isn’t up-to-date” P29(SN:9y). Building trust in the clinical setting by supporting nursing actions that may be risky, yet are safe, encourages innovative practice and enhances autonomy [31]. Giorgi [14] argued that a larger part of phenomenology is descriptive, but this does not rule out phases where interpretations also take place. Skar R. The meaning of autonomy in nursing practice. Finally, in step five, the transformed meaning unit expressions were used as the basis for describing the general psychological structure of the experience, i.e. International journal of nursing practice. Although Gagnon and colleagues [3] revealed that autonomy was a topic not openly discussed among nurses. Nurses' Clinical Judgment Development: A Qualitative Research in Iran. Khatri and colleagues [34] maintained that a blame culture is more likely to occur in health care organisations that rely predominantly on hierarchy and compliance-based functional management systems. Examples of the codes and their interpretations are presented in Table 4. With an increasing internationally mobile work force, discrepancy between conceptualisations of autonomy held locally and by non-local nurses have the potential to impact the delivery of patient care. Nurs Res. volume 18, Article number: 51 (2019) Professional autonomy means having the authority to make decisions and the freedom to act in accordance with one's professional knowledge base. This article presents a concept analysis of autonomy and offers some insights into the quest for and operationalization of autonomous nursing practice. We would like to thank Claudia Schmalenberg (one of the authors of the EOMII scale) for her suggestions regarding the interview questions generated to explore the understanding of the concept of autonomy amongst the participants in our study. Participants in this study identified several examples where they had breached boundaries for the benefit of the patients. 2017;65:392–9. Participants defined their understanding of autonomy as: nurses’ ability to work on their own without external influence. As a reminder for you, check out the commentary Greater nurse autonomy associated with lower mortality and failure to rescue rates. The PhD research was supervised by EW, BB, RC, SN and FK. 2015 Sep 28;17(9):e20596. Hospital B is a general hospital which serves a population of about 400,000 and has approximately 600 beds. This research suggested that the way in which nurses in England conceptualise autonomy may differ from that of nurses working in America. Additionally, a ward manager described autonomy as making decisions on the spur of the moment when there is lack of constant support. The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Psychology, 2nd ed. Between June and July 2013, the first author contacted the ward managers of the participating wards by telephone and booked appointments to discuss the plan to conduct qualitative interviews with the registered nurses. 1997 Jun 26-Jul 9;6(12):703-7. doi: 10.12968/bjon.1997.6.12.703. So I think that’s an important element to maybe take back to the basics in nurse training... (P16 SR:4y). It is suggested that the nursing profession in England should adopt a more participative decision-making style, similar to that of America, where nurses emphasise involvement in hospital level committees. Background: Care is the essence of the nursing role and is closely related to the concept of professional autonomy. Differentiating between descriptive and interpretive phenomenological research approaches. An American study [4] of 570 acute care hospitals found that patients receiving care within hospitals that promote nurse autonomy have lower risk for, and complications leading to, death within 30 days. 1993;24:58–64. We consider the basis for this duty, looking particularly at the meaning and value of autonomy in health care. Participants described clinical judgement as one of the skills nurses draw upon while making clinical decisions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews [15], and the subsequent analysis utilised Giorgi, Giorgi, and Morley’s [16] method of descriptive phenomenological data analysis to explore the concept of autonomy. A just culture is more likely to occur in health organisations that elicit greater employee involvement in decision-making. Sandelowski M. Whatever happened to qualitative description? This makes it difficult to say how typical they are of all acute trusts in England and may limit the generalizability of the findings. 2008;57:2–13. During the course of the interviews participants discussed how availability and provision of support in their work environment helped them develop their professional capacity of practising autonomously, as stated by (P1 SN:14y): “…As long as you have the support, then it’s all right”. https://www.nursingtimes.net/keen-calls-for-end-to-nhs-blame-culture/5001010.article. Research conducted to date on the perception of dignity and autonomy has contributed to an understanding of the needs and concerns of patients facing the EOL, and of the kind of care they require in order to improve their wellbeing. Wiley: West Sussex; 2010. We are also grateful to the research and development departments of the study hospitals for their support during data collection. Fielding N, Thomas H. Qualitative interviewing. Data were stored securely and anonymously in compliance with the Data Protection Act. Professional autonomy is a key concept in understanding nurses’ roles in delivering patient care. One of the participants gave an example of how decisions are made in practice based on nursing knowledge. Nurses' refusals of patient involvement in their own palliative care. This view was expressed by a participant who believed that: “...provided that we get …the level of training and the level of exposure we can deliver good patient care” (P48 SR:17y). She emphasised that the ward sisters or the sisters in charge ran the ward during the week, but that the staff nurses took a leading role in running the shifts on weekends due to unavailability of more senior nurses to offer support in decision making. The concept of autonomy has been an important topic of study in the nursing profession for many decades and has given rise to a range of definitions. Closely related to nurses having to make decisions on the spur of the moment, participants also identified emergency situations in which autonomous decisions were required to save lives. Many of the participants perceived autonomy as working and making decisions within the context of a team, with typical comments such as: “...you’re working, obviously as part of a team” (P10 SN:8 m); and “…making my own decisions, obviously within the context of everyone I am working with, as being part of the team” (P9 SN:23y). Dressings they do, that’s autonomous, but obviously they must have the knowledge to be able to choose the right dressings. Anticipating and providing the relevant information, as part of autonomous practice, was illustrated by another participant in an example of a patient who complained of central chest pain: I knew that I needed to act quickly just in case that was an acute cardiology problem… I went ahead and did an ECG because I knew that would be the first thing that they [doctors] would want. The first author conducted all 48 interviews, posing the questions the same way to all the participants. In addition to describing clinical judgment as an attribute required for autonomy, participants highlighted the ability to make informed and evidence-based decisions as important in autonomous nursing practice. Participants described the use of nursing knowledge and skills as important ingredients in autonomy: “…in my eyes it is your basic nursing skills and your knowledge” (P14 SR:41y). Wiley: Chichester; 2016. In summary, this theme described the various ways in which junior nurses were supported by senior nurses in making autonomous decisions in practice. Nurse practitioners are said to characterise the principles of autonomy and professional maturity. Six themes were identified: working independently; working in a team; having professional skills and knowledge; involvement in autonomy; boundaries around autonomy; and developing autonomy requires support. (P47 SN:10y), ...she might have autonomy in one area of her practice but she may not have it in another, she may defer to somebody else, so it is dependent on your experience. Some nursing work is routine, as described above, but the patient’s condition can quickly deteriorate requiring the nurse to take action. One participant stated: “I would probably take more of an autonomous role of a weekend in a way, of that leadership… the sisters of a week kind of run the shift don’t they, or the nurse in charge” (P21 SN:2y9m). doi: 10.7748/ns.2019.e11335. Robson C, McCartan K. Real world research. ABSTRACT While delivering quality care, nursing home personnel may unintentionally adversely affect residents' sense of personal autonomy. In other cases, it is an independent decision such as giving the patient oxygen. Qualitative study. From a blame culture to a just culture in health care. Kramer and Schmalenberg [29] maintained that an ingredient for autonomous practice at the staff nurse level is a flat, debureaucratised organisational structure. Strategies for Enhancing Autonomy and Control Over Nursing Practice. England: Open University Press; 2008. p. 190–214. An understanding of autonomy is needed to clarify and develop the nursing profession in rapidly changing health care environments and internationally there is a concern about how the core elements of nursing are taken care of when focusing on expansion and … Another participant linked nursing knowledge and skills with competence, highlighting that nurses feel supported in being autonomous when they are equipped with the right competence and skills: by ensuring that nurses are equipped with the right competence and the right skills gives them that support and the backing for them to be autonomous… (P19 WM:8y). Inherent in autonomy and control over nursing practice is nurse power—not necessary power to dominate, instead power to contribute uniquely nursing knowledge and expertise to residents and the organisation they represent. Greater nursing autonomy promotes better patient outcomes. (P38 WM:16y). Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer; 2018. Teamwork was described in the study as both empowering and disempowering. Weston MJ Strategies for enhancing autonomy and control over nursing practice. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-019-0378-3, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-019-0378-3. Authority of total patient care, the power to make decisions in a relationship with the patient and next of kin and the freedom to make clinical judgements, choices and actions seem to be connected to the meaning of autonomy in nursing practice. Giorgi [14] highlighted the difference between description and interpretation in that description is an acknowledgement that there is a “given” that needs to be described precisely as it appears and nothing to be added to it nor subtracted from it. 2007;1:99–100. Registered nurses providing direct adult patient care on 29 wards were invited to participate in the study; however, one ward manager in Hospital A declined participation on behalf of her nurses. However, the presence of a blame culture is one of the limitations the participants perceived was associated with autonomous decision making. She noted that at times nurses are put in difficult situations to make such decisions, which they would not have made if they had a choice: ...in this line of work where you don't always have somebody 24 hours a day to back you up… you have to make a decision on the spur of the moment whether you are ready to or not. (P17 SN:3y). This paper reports part of a project aimed at exploring the education and work qualifications required by the nursing profession. Res Nurs Health. Keegan [33] equated accountability to responsibility and answerability to authority for one’s actions. Importantly, when nurses talked about autonomy, they did not relate it to the achievement of professional status; rather, nurses were clinically focused and limited their discussions of autonomy to the ward team, implying a need for the NHS to adopt a participative decision-making style wherein staff nurses will be more involved in hospital-level decision making. Keegan J. The interviews took place in quiet rooms on the wards. It was noted that issues of accountability and responsibility arose mostly during the interviews with the ward managers and the ward sisters. Based on these findings, it is suggested that current nursing education should provide opportunities for personal and professional development which would promote autonomous practice in students. Hospital A is a District General Hospital which serves a population of around 300,000 and has around 500 in-patient beds. They know that they are needing to work within their Code of Conduct… I think they’re also aware of the decisions that they need to make and they are aware of the word, but I think that they find it very difficult to describe it in use in practice...I think it’s something that they probably automatically do but don't really think ‘Ah this is what I am doing’ and put a name to actually being autonomous in their practice. Giorgi A. Manage cookies/Do not sell my data we use in the preference centre. 1st ed. There is a lack of consensus amongst the sample of English practicing nurses regarding the concept of autonomy and what constitutes autonomous nursing practice. They had different levels of nursing experiences and were of different grade levels in nursing. (P18 WM:18y). De Brouwer and colleagues [9] also assessed the psychometric properties of the EOMII amongst nurses in The Netherlands. Forty-five respondents were female, more than a quarter were aged between 35 and 39 years, and 23 worked on the surgical specialities, while the remaining worked on medical specialities. Moving from a blame culture to a just culture requires a comprehensive understanding of organisational attributes or antecedents that cause blame or just cultures [34]. Cite this article.

To breed autonomy, continuous professional developmental courses focussing on clinical skills, autonomy, decision-making, and leadership should be offered to nurses. Rao AD, Kumar A, McHugh M. Better nurse autonomy decreases the odds of 30-day mortality and failure to rescue. 2015;22:8–12. Each theme and accompanying sub-themes are examined in turn and illustrated by quotations. The participants included staff nurses, sisters, charge nurses and ward managers. To be knowledgeable and confident was found to be the coherent meaning of autonomy in nursing practice.

Labrague LJ, McEnroe-Petitte DM, Tsaras K. Predictors and outcomes of nurse professional autonomy: A cross-sectional study. In a qualitative study carried out in Iran, [11] identified two main barriers to gaining professional autonomy, namely, profession-related and organisational. Following in the path of feminists and civil rights leaders, informed patients are building a progressive social movement to improve medical care. Participants perceived autonomy as being both restricted to working on their own and encompassing working within a team. Recommendations are made regarding automony and nursing practice at the level of the individual practitioner.

Recent research exploring the role of autonomy in the nursing work environment indicated that English and American nurses had differing perceptions of autonomy. When he’s been in and out of the hospital for four months or visiting clinic for lab tests and treatments, he’s often accompanied by his wife Jessica and one or both of his two children, Christine and Alex. 2017;20:56. Gagnon L, Bakker D, Montgomery P, Palkovits JA. Another participant pointed out how difficult it is to have access to courses: “...sometimes it can be hard to get on all the courses that you perhaps want to because of ward pressures, but without having that knowledge, sometimes these decisions are perhaps not safe decisions, if your knowledge isn’t up-to-date” (P29 SN:9y). This can be gathered from the responses of participants such as P34(WM:11y) who perceived autonomous action to be linked to the likelihood of risk: “...obviously comes with an element of risk when dealing with patients, but it’s being able to evaluate and weigh all that risk and make all the right choices for your patients...”; and P1(SN:14y) “...that’s why sometimes being independent, having independent autonomous, it can create trouble and then you will feel that fear… but at the same time you have to take risk.”. Findings suggest that nurses in England, as framed by the sample, had a local ward-focused view of autonomy in comparison to nurses in America, who were reported to relate autonomy to a wider involvement in hospital level committees. Phenomenology does not dictate the phenomena; rather seeks to understand how phenomena present themselves to consciousness and the elucidation of this process is a descriptive task. In: Willig and Rogers, eds. Participants stated that working on their own, required a readiness to act on their own initiative. (P35 WM:15y). Rafferty AM, Ball J, Aiken LH. BMC Nurs 18, 51 (2019). Some participants linked autonomous nursing practice to working without supervision or using self-directed guidance. Kramer and colleagues [2] further warned that the impact of autonomy on patient outcomes cannot be determined when various concepts of autonomy are labelled the same but differ in meaning and are measured with tools or instruments that do not fit the concept.

We express our profound gratitude to Professor Elizabeth West for offering the initiative in conducting the study, and for her supervision of the study. Similarly, a ward manager described boundaries in terms of nurses having had nursing training that provided them with the capability to look after patients within that remit: That the nurse is being seen to be their own individual professional and have had training as such and therefore they should be able to look after patients within that remit… the training would help you to be an autonomous professional. One participant reflected on the inter-relational nature of nursing work. In addition to hierarchy determining whether or not nurses practice autonomously, the NHS structure was described as influencing the work pressure experienced by nurses on the wards. Analysis and discussion of developments in Evidence-Based Nursing. Participants further highlighted the ability to be able to work independently with the use of existing skills and knowledge to make decisions, as described by P16(SR:4y): “…relying on my own skills and knowledge, I am able to make those basic decisions and some more complex decisions.”. I know the staff will back me, but they’re not willing to come forward and support me’ - so that’s why nurses don’t like taking big risks because of the implications it may have on their career I suppose. Oshodi, T.O., Bruneau, B., Crockett, R. et al. All the researchers agreed on the final themes. Others described working within boundaries as: “Kind of being able to be my own boss following guidelines set down by obviously the Trust and NMC” (P6 SN:3½y); “They know that they are needing to work within their Code of Conduct” (P38 WM:16y); and “…to be able to practice within the guidelines of the NMC and with your own Trust” (P9 SN:23y).
