Patients' experiences with the advanced practice nurse role in Swiss family practices: a qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: Considering shortages of general practitioners (GP) and strategies for improving the quality of health care provision, many countries have implemented interprofessional care models with advanced practice nurses (APN). International evidence suggests that APN care results in high patient satisfaction. In Switzerland, the role is still new, and the patient perspective has not yet been researched. Our aim was therefore to explore patients' experiences with the APN role in Swiss family practices. METHODS: We conducted 22 semi-structured interviews in four different family practices with patients aged 18 to 97 suffering from minor acute to multiple chronic diseases, and who had at least one consultation with an APN. All interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: The analysis resulted in five themes: Despite the unfamiliarity, all patients were willing to be consulted by an APN because it was recommended by their GP (1); after several encounters, most participants perceived differences between the APN and the GP consultation in terms of the length and style of the consultations as well as the complexity of their tasks (2); the interviewees emphasised coaching, guidance, care coordination, and GP-assisting tasks as APN core competencies and attributed the characteristics empathetic, trustworthy, and competent to the APN role (3); most patients especially valued home visits and the holistic approach of the APNs, but they also noticed that in certain cases GP supervision was required (4); and due to the close collaboration between the APN and the GP, patients felt safe, well cared for and experienced improvements in physical and psychological well-being as well as in daily activities (5). CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that patients value the APNs' competencies, despite their initial lack of role knowledge. Trust in the GP seemed to be the most important factor for patients' receptiveness toward the APN role. Overall, patients perceived an added value due to the enlargement of the scope of practice offered by APNs. The patient perspective might provide valuable insights for further APN role implementation in Swiss family practices.

How do nurse consultant job characteristics impact on job satisfaction? An Australian quantitative study.

BACKGROUND: There is a direct link between job satisfaction, nurses' job performance and improved patient outcomes. Understanding what job characteristics influence job satisfaction is vital if health organizations are to optimize individual employee satisfaction and performance. This is particularly necessary in the Nurse Consultant role, which is a multifaceted role that has evolved to meet the dynamic and changing needs of health services. This study aims to examine how job characteristics influence Nurse Consultant job satisfaction and identify differences across metropolitan and rural contexts. METHODS: This paper presents quantitative findings that are part of a larger prospective cross sectional mixed method study. An online survey consisting of a variety of job characteristic factors was administered to all NCs working in a large Local Health District in New South Wales, Australia over an 8-week period in 2010. Descriptive analysis identified NC's perceptions of job satisfaction and job characteristics in their current role and factor and regression analysis identified relationships between these factors. RESULTS: Job satisfaction was identified as high (mean 4.3) and is strongly correlated with job autonomy, role clarity, role conflict and job support. A high level of role clarity has a moderating effect on the relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Study findings inform how we prepare nurses for the NC role and how managers engage with and support NCs in their role taking into account context. Understanding the factors that influence job satisfaction and role effectiveness gives managers valuable information to assist in positioning and supporting these roles to maximize effectiveness across integrated and contemporary models of health care delivery.

The tortuous journey of introducing the nurse practitioner as a new member of the healthcare team: a meta-synthesis.

The aim of this study was to explore the obstacles to and the opportunities for achieving optimal interprofessional team collaboration with the introduction of the nurse practitioner (NP). A team approach can contribute importantly to sustainable and safe patient care, and NPs have been added to the healthcare team in many countries. Following the international trend towards the development of the acute care NP, the role has recently been initiated in surgical care in Sweden. The introduction of an advanced nursing role into existing organisations raises questions about how the role will be developed and what its effects will be on collaboration between the different professions. We conducted a systematic review of qualitative studies using the meta-ethnographic approach developed by Noblit and Hare. Literature in the field of nursing was searched on PubMed and CINAHL, and empirical qualitative studies from outpatient and inpatient care in seven countries were included. The studies were appraised according to national guidelines and templates and were analysed and synthesised according to the meta-ethnographic approach. A total of 26 studies were included in the synthesis. The analysis revealed four themes: (i) a threat to professional boundaries, (ii) a resource for the team, (iii) the quest for autonomy and control, and (iv) necessary properties of a developing interprofessional collaboration. Based on these themes, the synthesis was created and presented as a metaphorical journey. The implementation of a new nursing role in a traditional healthcare team is a complex process influenced by many factors and can be described as "a tortuous journey towards a partially unknown destination". The synthesised obstacles and opportunities drawn from international studies may help healthcare organisations and new NPs prepare for, and optimise, the implementation of a new nursing role.

Rehabilitation Nurse's Perspective on Transitional Care: An Online Focus Group.

The increasing incidence of chronic and dependence leads to the need for hospitalization and adaptation in the process of returning home, as well as transition between care levels to ensure continuity of care. The World Health Organization has been warning about this problem since 2016, and consider reorganizing the care model as one of the solutions. The present study aimed to analyse the nurses' perspective on transitional care for dependent people with rehabilitation care needs after hospital discharge. METHODS: A focus group was developed with the participation of Rehabilitation Nurses from the hospital and community context, and content analysis was defined a posteriori. RESULTS: From the content analysis emerged four related categories: promotion of continuity of care, nurse of advanced practice as a care manager, capacitation of the person and caregiver, and promotion of the care coordination. CONCLUSIONS: The present study allowed the strategies identification that minimize fragmentation risk of care and promote the person participation in transitional care. Ensuring transitional care is imperative to increase the quality of care, the satisfaction of professionals, clients, and the development of a system of sustainable health.

Based on conceptions and research findings of the NP' s role, we analyzed and examined the realities, scope, and barriers for implementing the NP' s role in India and propose future strategies to create a NP cadre.

What impact do specialist and advanced-level nurses have on people living with heart failure compared to physician-led care? A literature review.

BACKGROUND: The inclusion of specialist nurses in multi-disciplinary teams is the current gold standard for care of people with heart failure (HF) in the UK; however, they remain underutilised in practice. Though existing systematic reviews favourably compare advanced nursing roles to physician-led care, none has focused solely on HF. AIM: To investigate the impact of specialist and advanced nurse-led care on the clinical outcomes, quality of life and satisfaction of people with HF compared to physician-led care. METHODS: Literature review and narrative synthesis. RESULTS: This review included 12 studies and categorised their measured outcomes into five domains: mortality; hospital admissions and length of stay; HF diagnosis and management; quality of life and patient satisfaction; and finally, self-assessment and self-care. Five studies appraised as medium or low risk of bias suggest the impact of specialist and advanced-level nurses on people with HF to be broadly equivalent to physicians regarding mortality, hospital admissions and length of stay, while superior in terms of self-assessment and self-care behaviours. CONCLUSIONS: There were too few studies of sufficient methodological quality to draw definitive conclusions. However, no evidence was found to suggest that nurse-led services are any less effective or safe than physician-led services.

Relevance of a specialised nurse in thoracic surgery.

This review of the development of a specialist nursing service within a thoracic surgery centre looks at the implementation of a specialist nursing role. An analysis of the needs of the service allowed identification of areas where specialist nursing input could have a positive impact on the patient pathway: (I) a nurse-led clinic for review of patients who require early review after discharge, in particular those discharged home with chest drains, was developed; (II) improvements to the patient pathway such as day of surgery admission were introduced along with a reduction in the number of patients who require admission to intensive care after surgery; (III) the specialist nurse leads on the introduction of new technology such as electronic chest drains. The specialist nurse works in the follow-up clinic, seeing patients autonomously, with a particular emphasis on patients under long-term follow-up after thoracic surgery. A telephone clinic has been introduced for patients on long-term CT follow-up. These are well received by patients; (IV) specialist nurses also work on in-patient wards, providing specialist input to the patient pathway, and can also take on work traditionally undertaken by junior medical staff. To be successful the specialist nursing role needs to be supported by the multidisciplinary team (MDT). These roles are developed to meet the needs of each unit and can have a very positive impact on the patient pathway.

Examining the Roles and Competencies of Nurse Leaders, Educators, and Clinicians With a Doctor of Nursing Practice at an Academic Medical Center.

BACKGROUND: As the nursing profession has gained experience with Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) graduates, it is important to examine the integration, operationalization, and contributions of the DNP-prepared nurse within healthcare systems. Administrators and leaders must have a clear vision of how DNP graduates will contribute within and outside of their organizations. OBJECTIVES: This article describes the outcomes of a workgroup comprised of DNP-prepared staff at a large academic medical center. The overarching goal of this group was to examine current practices of our DNP-prepared staff and make recommendations regarding roles and practice to the senior nursing leadership. METHODS: A crosswalk comparing the current job descriptions of our DNP-prepared nurse leaders, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse educators with the core competencies of The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice as outlined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing was completed. RESULTS: Strategies and tactics to enrich current practice and build leadership capacity were identified. CONCLUSIONS: DNP-prepared nurses must continue to document their contributions to the healthcare setting. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: DNP-prepared nurses in the health-care setting must work collaboratively with their senior nursing leaders to seek opportunities to increase their visibility within their organizations, and increase their scholarly output.

[Advanced practice nurse in France: first outline]. / Infirmière de pratique avancée en France : première esquisse.

After several years of discussions and debate, regulations should soon be applied in France allowing for the deployment of advanced practice nurses as provided for by law no. 2016-41 of January 2016 relating to the modernisation of the French health system. The profile of this new category of nurse, whose scope of practice will be extended, will combine clinical practice carried out with patients with stabilised chronic diseases and activities aimed at promoting the continuing development of the nursing teams' skills and at supporting change processes.

Universal health system based on Primary Care and advanced practice nursing / Sistema de salud universal basado en la Atención Primaria y la enfermería de práctica avanzada / Sistema de saúde universal baseado em Atenção Primária e a enfermagem de prática avançada

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on advanced practice nursing in Primary Health Care considering the complexity of the Brazilian health system. Methods: Reflective study, based on the document "Expanding the role of nurses in Primary Health Care" and anchored in the literature and critical analysis of the authors. Results: Due to the complexity of the Unified Health System — in terms of infrastructure, human resources, funding — it is important for Brazil to carry out its own systematic process of discussion on the implementation of advanced practice nursing, considering the context of the current health care model, to define the role of this practice according to the characteristics of a universal health system and not a universal health coverage. Final considerations: The expansion of the workforce and the insertion of advanced practice nursing in Brazilian Primary Health Care needs to happen with greater recognition and incentives for the actions performed at this level of care. For example, they must occur through integration between professionals and the community in health promotion actions, with the availability of appropriate technologies for the work, in order to guarantee the quality and resolution of Primary Health Care.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Reflejar sobre la enfermería de práctica avanzada en la Atención Primaria de Salud considerando la complejidad del sistema de salud brasileño. Métodos: Estudio reflexivo, fundamentado en el documento "Ampliación del rol de enfermeros en la Atención Primaria de Salud" y basado en la literatura y análisis crítico de autores. Resultados: Por la complejidad del Sistema Único de Salud — cuanto a la infraestructura, recursos humanos, financiamiento — es importante que Brasil realice su propio proceso sistemático de discusión sobre la implementación de la enfermería de práctica avanzada, considerando el contexto del modelo de atención de salud vigente, para definir el papel de esa práctica conforme las características de un sistema universal de salud y no de una cobertura universal de salud. Consideraciones finales: La ampliación de recursos humanos e inserción de la enfermería de práctica avanzada en la Atención Primaria de Salud brasileña necesitan ocurrir con un mayor reconocimiento e incentivos para las acciones ejecutadas en ese nivel de atención. Por ejemplo, deben ocurrir vía integración entre los profesionales y la comunidad en las acciones de promoción de salud, con disponibilidad de tecnologías adecuadas al trabajo, de modo a garantizar la calidad y resolución de la Atención Primaria de Salud.

Vivências dos enfermeiros em praticas avançadas nos serviços de atendimento móvel de urgência / Nurses living in advanced practices in mobile emergency care service

O atendimento pré-hospitalar (APH) no Brasil se dá através do serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência (SAMU). O SAMU é acionado gratuitamente pelo dígito 192 e presta assistência fora do ambiente hospitalar. É composto por dois tipos principais de ambulâncias: as de suporte básico de vida (SBV) tripulada por, no mínimo, um motorista e um técnico em enfermagem, caracterizado por não realizar manobras invasivas; e as de suporte avançado de vida (SAV), cuja equipe inclui motorista, médico e enfermeiro e realizam procedimentos invasivos de suporte ventilatório e circulatório. Desde a sua implantação em 2003, o SAMU mostrou-se como um novo campo de trabalho para os profissionais de enfermagem. Em março de 2011, com a resolução do COFEN nº 375 que dispõem da presença do enfermeiro no SBV foi criado o suporte básico de vida tripulada por enfermeiro intitulado em alguns SAMU por suporte Intermediário de vida (SIV), modalidade esta encontrada em outros países. Acredita-se que o SIV ajusta a lacuna entre o SBV e SAV, melhorando a assistência de enfermagem. Sendo assim, o APH vem se tornando um ambiente favorável para expansão da enfermagem em práticas avançadas (EPA) pela especificidade exigida no campo de atuação. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o SIV enquanto um campo de prática avançada pelos enfermeiros. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, e abordagem qualiquantitativa. O estudo foi operacionalizado em duas fases: 1ª fase foi para quantificar os SAMU do Estado que possuem SIV, utilizando um questionário estruturado direcionado aos coordenadores de enfermagem. Na 2ª fase foi realizada uma entrevista com enfermeiros que atuam no SIV. Na primeira fase identificou-se quantas Centrais de Regulação de Urgências do SAMU existem em cada DRS do estado de São Paulo. Participaram deste estudo 17 serviços. Verificou-se que em 11 deles havia a modalidade SIV, esporádica ou não. Na segunda fase foi analisada a atuação do enfermeiro no SIV na perspectiva da enfermagem em pratica avançada, por meio da analise de expressões de diálogo durante entrevista. Após transcrição e leitura exaustiva identificou se as categorias das falas, as quais foram divididas em duas unidades temáticas, a saber, vivência e competência. Conclui-se que este estudo identificou a existência do SIV, sendo um serviço que vai ao encontro dos objetivos da OMS em relação ao aumento do acesso universal à saúde, oferece acesso oportuno em situação de urgência, além das vivencias e competências dos enfermeiros serem condizentes com as competências dos enfermeiros que atuam no campo da EPA. Há necessidade de certificação para enfermeiros em EPA, e o Brasil apresenta potencialidades para isso, seja pela robustez da lei do exercício profissional, seja pelos documentos do próprio Ministério da Saúde

Pre-hospital care (APH) in Brazil takes place through the mobile emergency care service (SAMU). SAMU is activated free of charge by calling 192 and provides assistance outside the hospital environment. It consists of two main types of ambulances, those of basic life support (BLS) manned by at least one driver and a nursing technician, characterized by not performing invasive maneuvers, and those of advanced life support (FAS), whose team includes driver, doctor and nurse and perform invasive procedures for ventilatory and circulatory support. Since its implementation in 2003, SAMU has shown itself as a new field of work for nursing professionals. In March 2011, with COFEN Resolution No. 375 that have the presence of nurses in the BLS, basic life support manned by a nurse was created, entitled in some SAMU's unit as Intermediate Life Support (SIV), a modality found in other countries. It is believed that SIV bridges the gap between BLS and VAS, improving nursing care. Thus, the APH has become a favorable environment for the expansion of nursing in advanced practices (EPA) due to the specificity required in the field of activity. The aim of this study is to evaluate SIV as a field of advanced practice by nurses. This is a descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The study was carried out in two phases: 1st phase was to quantify the SAMU of the State that have SIV, using a structured questionnaire directed to the nursing coordinators. In the 2nd phase, an interview was conducted with nurses who work at SIV. In the first phase, it was identified how many SAMU Emergency Regulation Centers exist in each DRS in the state of São Paulo. Seventeen services participated in this study, it was found that in 11 there was the SIV modality, either sporadic or not. In the second phase, the role of nurses in the SIV was analyzed from the perspective of nursing in advanced practice, through the analysis of expressions of dialogue during an interview. After transcription and exhaustive reading, the categories of speeches were identified, which were divided into two thematic units, namely, experience and competence. It is concluded that this study identified the existence of SIV, being a service that meets the objectives of WHO in relation to the increase of universal access to health, offers timely access in urgent situations, in addition to the experiences and skills of nurses to be consistent with the skills of nurses working in the EPA field. There is a need for certification for nurses in EPA, and Brazil has the potential to do so, either because of the robustness of the law of professional practice or by the documents of the Ministry of Health itself
