Abstract

This study addresses the issue of organized political participation in nursing. The conceptual framework is the civic voluntarism model (CVM) of Verba, Schlozman, and Brady, which posits that three factors influence organized participation: (a) having the engagement (motivation), (b) having the resources (wherewithal), and (c) having networks of recruitment (cues to action and requests). Multiple discriminant analysis showed that the CVM and its influencing factors and dimensions were useful in predicting nurses’ organized participation. Resources and engagement were found to be the most important influencing factors, whereas networks of recruitment were less important. Rank ordering of each influencing factor’s dimension was used to develop a parsimonious list of predictors specific to nurses. Free time and personal efficacy were found to be the two most significant dimension predictors of nurses’ organized participation. Suggestions and strategies for building organized participation are made based on results of this study.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
