Background of the Study
Nursing practice standards are essential guidelines that define the expected level of care and professional conduct for nurses (Okafor et al., 2023). These standards ensure that nurses deliver high-quality care, protect patient safety, and maintain professional ethics. However, implementing nursing practice standards can be challenging, particularly in healthcare settings where resources may be limited, and staff may face high workloads. At Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Katsina, adherence to nursing practice standards is crucial for ensuring that patient care is effective and safe.
While nursing practice standards are well-established in theory, their practical implementation is often hindered by a variety of factors, including lack of training, inadequate staffing, resistance to change, and poor organizational support (Adeyemi et al., 2024). This study seeks to evaluate the challenges faced by nursing staff at FMC, Katsina, in implementing nursing practice standards and to propose solutions for overcoming these barriers.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of well-established nursing practice standards, challenges in their implementation persist at FMC, Katsina, potentially compromising the quality of care delivered. Identifying these challenges and proposing strategies to overcome them will help improve adherence to practice standards and enhance patient care.
