La investigación enfermera en España no puede ser entendida sin el análisis de la evolución de la profesión en los últimos 40 años. El contexto social, político y económico ha determinado el devenir de la investigación en cuidados y es necesario un análisis de la situación actual de cara a los retos inmediatos que la profesión enfermera tiene ante sí. Ofrecer una perspectiva global de la investigación en cuidados en España, como marco de reflexión y discusión acerca de posibles estrategias a corto y medio plazo que orienten la planificación y toma de decisiones a los distintos agentes implicados en la investigación enfermera en España. Estudio multimétodo que ha combinado análisis documental, con métodos bibliométricos. Se han identificado algunas políticas aisladas de fomento de la investigación en cuidados, un crecimiento importante de la formación doctoral (49 programas de doctorado) y 89 grupos de investigación enfermera (1,92 grupos por millón de habitantes) responsables de una producción científica que sitúa a España en el séptimo lugar en el ranking mundial de producción científica en el área de Enfermería. El incremento en el gasto público en I+D+I y el crecimiento en impacto bibliométrico se asocian a una mayor densidad de grupos de investigación enfermeros. La investigación enfermera en España es sensible a las políticas y recursos de fomento de la investigación, aunque no hay una estrategia consolidada y uniforme que supere las barreras actuales. Aún se desconoce el impacto del desarrollo académico de la Enfermería española en la producción científica (AU)
Nursing research in Spain cannot be understood without analyzing the development of this profession over the last 40 years. The social, political and economic context has determined the evolution of nursing research, and an analysis of the current situation is necessary to confront the immediate challenges the nursing profession has to handle. To offer a global perspective of care research in Spain as a framework for reflection and discussion on possible short and medium-term strategies that guide the planning and decision making of the different stakeholders involved in nursing research in Spain. A multi-method study combining documentary analysis with bibliometric methods was carried out. Some isolated policies to promote nursing research have been identified, a significant increase in doctoral training (49 doctoral programs) and 89 nurse research groups (1.92 groups per million inhabitants) responsible for a scientific production that puts Spain in seventh place in the world ranking of scientific production in the area of nursing. The increase in public expenditure on R & D & Iand the growth in bibliometric impact are associated with a higher density of nursing research groups. Nursing research in Spain is sensitive to research promotion policies and resources, although there is no consolidated and uniform strategy that overcomes current barriers. The impact of the academic development of Spanish nNursing in scientific production is still unknown (AU)

La formación del título universitario de enfermería no contempla la especificidad de diferentes áreas de esta profesión como son: la enfermería en urgencias y emergencias, la enfermería intensiva y unidades coronarias, la enfermería quirúrgica, la gestión, etc. En el caso que nos ocupa, la enfermería penitenciaria se une a esta situación, es decir, las discrepancias que existen entre la situación real y la situación ideal que los enfermeros de prisiones requieren para desarrollar su labor en este contexto. Autores de diferentes países defienden la especificidad de la enfermería penitenciaria, así como la necesidad de estar formados en unos contenidos de acuerdo a los condicionantes de salud de la población reclusa y las características del contexto penitenciario, así como de su normativa y aspectos legales. Conclusión: Considerando que la titulación del enfermero/a generalista no incluye los conocimientos necesarios en enfermería penitenciaria, se presentó a la comunidad educativa una propuesta de formación de postgrado, una asignatura optativa y una guía de fundamentos en enfermería penitenciaria que cubriesen las necesidades formativas para llevar a cabo su atención en este contexto (AU)

This paper provides readers with an overview of some contemporary issues associated with nursing regulation and scope of practice in Canada. Issues with the current organizational structure of nursing regulation and its impact on nursing advocacy in Canada are explored. An argument is presented that nursing regulation needs more consistency and collaboration in Canada. Several examples are used to illustrate this. Fragmentation of regulation is explored and regulatory disciplinary processes are examined in relation to some countries with similar professional structures. The impact of changes in the regulatory status of complementary and alternative health practitioners on nursing is also critiqued. We provide recommendations for future policy and practice to better pave the way for nursing scope and regulatory clarity.

PURPOSE: The move to national registration of health professionals and the creation of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) provides both challenges and opportunities for the regulation of nurse practitioners (NPs) in Australia. DATA SOURCES: National and state health policy documents, accessible on the Internet, concerning the regulation and endorsement processes for NPs in Australia were examined. CONCLUSIONS: The similarities between two of the previous jurisdictional NP endorsement processes in New South Wales and Victoria provide a common ground on which to build a robust national system. However, there are also key differences between these two states. These differences were mainly in the evidence required to assess competency of NP applicants and the authority to prescribe medications. All Victorian NP applicants were required to complete an approved medication subject at a master's level. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A consistent endorsement process that delivers NPs of the highest standard and allows for efficient use of their skills and expertise is vital. This needs to be performed with the aim of providing high-quality care in a regulatory environment that protects the public and clearly articulates the level of competence expected of all NPs.
