title: [Nursing practice in Lebanon: specificities and challenges].
abstract: The increase in life expectancy as well as the emergence of non-communicable diseases have had an influence on the nursing profession in Lebanon. In this predominantly female profession, the profession is recognized and encouraged to pursue higher education degrees and engage into research. The Order of Nurses in Lebanon contributes to the promotion of the professional autonomy of nursing.
