Abstract

The authors in their original scientific research (2020) using sociological methods - a mass questionnaire survey and expert interviews - identified factors influencing the change in the quality of medical services and working conditions for nurses as a result of the expansion of their labor functions. Special attention was paid to the systematization of the opinions of doctors and nurses (clinics and hospitals) regarding the positive and negative expectations of patients from such an innovation in the field of healthcare. The reasons for both the possible cautious attitude of patients and their inspired perception from the expansion of the functional duties of nurses are shown.
