Abstract

Autonomy is usually described as a state of being independent or self-governing, but the meaning is more broadly defined in ethical discourse, healthcare and nursing. This commentary on the paper by Skar (2010) suggests the term autonomy in nursing is sometimes misapplied; terms such as 'confidence' and 'competence' are more appropriate.
