Globally, nursing scholars agree on the necessity for nurses to be politically active to influence health policies that affect their profession and patient care (AbuAlRub & Abdulnabi, 2020). In democratic societies like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, nurses engage in various political activities, including voting, advocacy, and participating in public demonstrations (Shariff, 2014). However, in Nigeria, nurses often express frustration with the lack of political content in their education and insufficient preparation for political engagement. This study examines the attitudes and participation of nurses towards politics at the Federal Medical Centre Jabi, Abuja. Using a descriptive survey research design, data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed through frequency and percentage methods. The findings reveal that while nurses possess adequate knowledge about politics and policy-making, several factors such as time constraints, gender issues, and perceptions of danger deter their active political involvement. Moreover, the study identifies barriers to political participation, including inadequate political education, lack of supportive structures, and underestimation of their influence. The results underscore the importance of encouraging political activism among nurses to ensure their voices are heard in health policy debates, thereby enhancing healthcare delivery. This study aims to foster greater political engagement among Nigerian nurses, advocating for educational reforms and supportive measures to facilitate their involvement in the political process.
