چکیده
This study sought at testing a newly developed instrument that measures nurse managers’ actions (NMAs) conducive to Jordanian nurses’ autonomy. NMAs scale was tested using a convenience sample of two hundred and fifty registered nurses (RNs) who were working in a large teaching hospital in Jordan. The highest reported Cronbach’s alpha of actions promoted nurses' autonomy was related to supporting nurses’ autonomous decisionmaking, while the lowest was related to delegating to nurses 24-hours responsibility about their units decisions. The highest reported mean of actions promoted nurses' autonomy was related to encouraging nurses to communicate openly with all members of healthcare team, while the lowest was related to involving nurses in planning the capital expenditures. Conclusion: The NMAs scale is reliable and applicable to Jordanian nurses. The NMAs has the potential to be used in Evidence-based Management (EBM),
