Background of the Study
Workplace nursing policies are integral to ensuring that healthcare facilities run efficiently and provide high-quality care to patients. These policies regulate nursing practices, define roles and responsibilities, and establish standards for patient safety, infection control, and professional ethics (Afolabi et al., 2023). At State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, nursing policies play a crucial role in guiding the actions of nursing staff, from patient assessments to medication administration. When effectively implemented, workplace nursing policies contribute to the overall quality of care delivered to patients.
Healthcare quality is multifaceted, encompassing clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and the efficiency of healthcare delivery (Williams et al., 2023). The presence of clear and well-enforced nursing policies has been linked to improved patient care, reduced errors, and higher staff satisfaction. This study aims to assess how workplace nursing policies affect healthcare quality at State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, focusing on the relationship between policy adherence and clinical outcomes.
