Abstract

Making up over 80% of the global health workforce, nurses are essential for meeting public health goals like Healthy People 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Despite this, nurses remain underrepresented in leadership and policy development. The program was created to equip pre-licensure, master's entry into nursing students with foundational policy skills through a two-semester extracurricular enrichment program. It combines classroom learning with mentored policy projects, offering practical experience on key health policy issues like HIV prevention and end-of-life care. Early student feedback led to program adjustments, emphasizing peer learning. This paper describes the policy mentorship program and corresponding seminar. It provides a detailed description of the program so that other nursing schools can adopt components or design similar programs to help students hone the critical competencies required to navigate the sociopolitical systems that define our healthcare approach and mediate disease and wellness.

培养护士领导者：将政策融入护理教育。

护士占全球卫生人力的80%以上，对于实现《2030年健康人》和可持续发展目标等公共卫生目标至关重要。尽管如此，护士在领导和政策制定方面的代表性仍然不足。该计划旨在通过两个学期的课外充实计划，为获得执照前硕士学位的护理学生提供基本的政策技能。它将课堂学习与指导政策项目相结合，在艾滋病毒预防和临终关怀等关键卫生政策问题上提供实践经验。早期的学生反馈导致课程调整，强调同伴学习。本文介绍了政策指导计划和相应的研讨会。它提供了该计划的详细描述，以便其他护理学校可以采用组件或设计类似的计划，以帮助学生磨练在定义我们的医疗保健方法和调解疾病和健康的社会政治系统中导航所需的关键能力。

期刊介绍： Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that explores the multiple relationships between nursing and health policy. It serves as a major source of data-based study, policy analysis and discussion on timely, relevant policy issues for nurses in a broad variety of roles and settings, and for others outside of nursing who are interested in nursing-related policy issues.
