Nurses, who are seen as the focal point in the implementation of clinical governance, have great importance in terms of knowledge, awareness, issues that they consider as obstacles and difficulties, and their suggestions for solutions. With this study, the clinical governance knowledge and awareness levels of the working nurses were examined, and it was aimed to contribute to the literature on the best practice of clinical governance by taking their opinions and suggestions. The population of the research consists of 716 nurses working in Sivas Health Services Application and Research Hospital. Questionnaires were collected both online and face-to-face. The responses of 122 nurses who voluntarily participated in the study were included in the study. The study was carried out with a mixed method and both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The study included 4 demographic questions and 9 questions about education, work, and knowledge level. In the literature, McSherry et al. (2012), Wallace et al. (2001) 4 Likert-type items were conveyed about the obstacles to clinical governance in their studies, and 2 open-ended semi-structured interview forms were used to determine their opinions and suggestions.
