Stakeholders’ Perceptions of the Roles and Regulations of Advanced Practice Nursing and Advanced Practice Midwifery
There were varied viewpoints on how APNs/APMs are defined in the Kenyan context. Similarly, views on the entry level qualifications into APN/APM were diverse. Many participants emphasized the importance of licensure, autonomy of practice, ability to manage patients independently, training, and competency. Well-defined policies and regulations can create an enabling environment for practice.
