Abstract
Little is known about the working conditions of nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary health care in New Zealand. Data were collected using an online organizational climate questionnaire from NPs and managers who employed NPs. Nearly two-thirds of all primary health care NPs in the country (n = 136) responded together with a purposive sample of 58 managers. More than 90% of respondents from both groups identified that organizations created an environment where NPs could practice independently and autonomously with collegial support. Other results signaled opportunities for improvement in local and national health policy. This study adds to international evidence on creating positive practice environments for NPs.
