When itis used to describe individual work, it refers to the ability to makedecisions without undue influence from others. The purpose of thispaper is to critique two models of autonomy, one developed fromthe discipline of occupational health, and one developed from thediscipline of nursing. These models potentially provide insight tothe work of nurses in hospitals. Additionally, this paper will explorethe possibility of applying these traditional western models tocultures and countries other than the US, Europe, and Australia.The question of whether a hospital nurse can be autonomous iscomplicated by the structure of the society in which the work of thenurse exists and the barriers produced by those structures. In orderfor nurses and women to exercise more autonomy in work settings,powerful members of the society must acknowledge the reality ofthe under valued status of women and women´s work and allow fora greater exercise of discretion by women. 2006 artículo científico 1657-5997 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=74160110 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=741 Aquichan application/pdf Universidad de La Sabana Aquichan (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.6
