Özet

Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between attitudes towards professional autonomy and nurse–nurse collaboration among nurses.

Background: Professional autonomy is crucial for nurses in today’s complex and everchanging healthcare environment. Therefore, attitudes towards professional autonomy may result in effective collaboration among nurses, one of the nursing roles and responsibilities.

Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 685 nurses in four private hospitals affiliated with a university. Descriptive tests, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used. An ethics committee approved this study, and the STROBE Statement guidelines for cross-sectional studies were followed.

Results: Significant predictors for nurse–nurse collaboration were identified as job-related independence, autonomous clinical judgement and working unit from control variables.

Conclusion: This study’s results provided valuable insights for nurse managers to enhance nurses’ attitudes towards professional autonomy and foster collaborative work environments.

Implications for nursing: Nurse managers can increase nurses’ participation in decision-making processes and allow them to recognize their autonomy and that of their colleagues.
