Subject and method: A correlation and cross-sectional research on 120 nurses working in the boarding departments and had more than one working year, from April 2020 to August 2020. Result: Average score of autonomy in nursing practice 3.95 ± 0.39, achieved high degree of autonomy. Nursing-physician cooperation (CASCD) was shown to a high degree with a mean total score (5.81 ± 0.77) and a positive correlation with autonomy (r = 0.188, p<0.05). Nursing practice environment (B-PEM) was moderate (3.5 ± 0.37) and significant with professional autonomy (p<0.05) and positive correlation (r = 0.3). Conclusion: The level of professional autonomy (DPBS) of nurses at 211 Military Hospital is high. Readiness, Empowerment, Reality and Evaluation are all high-level. Factors related to professional autonomy are age, work environment, years as a practical nurse and many years at the current job, job position, nursing - doctor cooperation, real environment operating nursing.
