  • Transfer of Nurse Education to Universities Under a Model of Person- Centred Care: a Consequence of Changes in Spanish Society During the Democratic Transition
    Transfer of nurse education to universities under a model of person- centred care: A consequence of changes in Spanish society during the democratic transition Olga Rodrigo School of Nursing, Campus Docent Sant Joan de Déu, University of Barcelona Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain Jordi Caïs Department of Sociology and Organizational Analysis, University of Barcelona Barcelona, Spain Cristina Monforte-Royo Nursing Department, School of Medicine and Health Science. Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Sant Cugat del Vallés, Barcelona, Spain Abstract Background. In Spain the transfer of nurse education to universities was accompanied by a shift towards a model of person-centred care. Aim. To explore whether the change in nurses’ professional profile (from physician assistant to providers of person-centred care) was a response to changing needs in Spanish society. Design. Qualitative study. Methods. Theoretical sampling and in-depth interviews using an inductive analytical approach. Results. Four categories described the nursing profession in Spain prior to the introduction of university training: the era of medical assistants; technologisation of hospitals; personal care of the patient based on Christian values; professional socialisation differentiated by gender. Further analysis showed that these categories could be subsumed under a broader core category: the transfer of nurse education to universities as part of Spain’s transition to democracy. Conclusion. The transfer of nurse education to universities was one of several changes occurring in Spanish society during the country’s transition to democratic government. The redefined public health system required a highly skilled workforce, with improved employment rights being given to female health professionals, notably nurses. Keywords: Feminism; Inductive study; Nurses’ role; Nursing History; Politics; Qualitative research; Spain; University.

  • The Collaboration of General Practitioners and Nurses in Primary Care: a Comparative Analysis of Concepts and Practices in Slovenia and Spain
    Primary Health Care Research & Development 2017; 18: 492–506 RESEARCH doi:10.1017/S1463423617000354 The collaboration of general practitioners and nurses in primary care: a comparative analysis of concepts and practices in Slovenia and Spain Kerstin Hämel1 and Carina Vössing2 1Professor of Public Health, Health Services Research in Nursing, School of Public Health, Bielefeld University, Germany 2Research Associate, Working Group Health Services Research & Nursing Science, School of Public Health, Bielefeld University, Germany Aim: A comparative analysis of concepts and practices of GP-nurse collaborations in pri- mary health centres in Slovenia and Spain. Background: Cross-professional collabora- tion is considered a key element for providing high-quality comprehensive care by combining the expertise of various professions. In many countries, nurses are also being given new and more extensive responsibilities. Implemented concepts of collaborative care need to be analysed within the context of care concepts, organisational structures, and effective collaboration. Methods: Background review of primary care concepts (literature analysis, expert interviews), and evaluation of collaboration in ‘best practice’ health centres in certain regions of Slovenia and Spain. Qualitative content analysis of expert interviews, presentations, observations, and group discussions with professionals and health centre managers. Findings: In Slovenian health centres, the collaboration between GPs and nurses has been strongly shaped by their organisation in separate care units and pre- dominantly case-oriented functions. Conventional power structures between professions hinder effective collaboration. The introduction of a new cross-professional primary care concept has integrated advanced practice nurses into general practice. Conventional hier- archies still exist, but a shared vision of preventive care is gradually strengthening attitudes towards team-oriented care.

Steps were taken to ensure the credibility, transferability, dependa- bility and confirmability of data. The main conclusion of the analysis is that there is a gap between a theoretical framework borrowed from the Anglo- American context and a nursing practice that, in Spain, has traditionally prioritised the application of technical procedures, a role akin to that of a medical assistant. It is argued that a key factor underlying the way in which nursing in Spain has evolved in recent decades is the lack of conceptual clarity regarding what the role of the professional nurse might actually entail in practice.

Through the scoping review method, this study has been carried out according to five thematic blocks: life quality, cost-effectiveness, health results, satisfaction, and accessibility. The critical appraisal was performed with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool and the level of evidence and strength of recommendation have been analysed following the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) system. The results show that it is possible to formally implement advanced practice nursing in the Spanish context.

(2016) Journal of Nursing Management 24, 105–114 Marie Carney Regulation of advanced nurse practice: its existence and regulatory Royal College of Surgeons in dimensions from an international perspective Ireland 123 St Stephen’s Green Aim To explore the regulation of advanced nurse practice internationally and to Dublin 2 identify differences and commonalities. Ireland Background Regulation of advanced practice nursing does not occur in many E-mail: [email protected] countries. Ireland is currently in the minority in regulating advanced practice at a national level. Key issues Lack of regulation poses difficulties for national governments and for society due to uncertainty in advanced practice concept and role. Methods A literature review of 510 scholarly nursing papers published in CINAHL, PubMed and MEDLINE between 2002 and 2013 and 30 websites was undertaken. Results There is a lack of consistency in legislative systems internationally. Nursing organisations have recognised advanced nurse practice by regulation in some countries and by voluntary certification in others. Conclusions Research has demonstrated that care delivered by advanced nurse practitioners has enhanced patient outcomes yet regulation of advanced practice is not undertaken in most countries. Implications for nurse manager Nurse managers need to know that criteria for the regulation of advanced practice are in place and reflect the minimum requirements for safe practice.
