Discussion: Advocacy Skills and Capacities

NOW F OR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:Discussion: Advocacy Skills and Capacities

Another aspect of policy influence is advocacy. One of the most important mandates for nurses is to advocate for the rights of their patients. Achieving optimal advocacy would require nurses to take active roles in the political processes of their country. Through such involvement, nurses would be able to execute their advocacy roles more effectively. As patient advocates, nurses should ensure that everything in the healthcare system is centered on the delivery of patient-centered care (Aram et al., 2014). By enhancing their advocacy skills and capacities, nurses may be better placed to push for the perceived gaps in the health care of LGBTQ people. AACN MSN Essentials recognizes the need for a nurse to be able to provide intervention at the system level through policy development and the application of advocacy strategies to impact care (AANC, 2011). This third political action, therefore, would be in line with the requirements of nursing educations.
