Abstract

Background: Using the Advocating for Education and Quality Improvement (A-EQUIP) model, professional nurse advocates are educated to lead the delivery of restorative clinical supervision, helping to support nurses in their professional practice, improving resilience and supporting a positive impact on patient care.

Aim: To explore professional nurse advocates' experiences of implementing the role and using the A-EQUIP model in clinical practice.

Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach using focus groups, with data collected over a 3-month period in 2023, analysed using a three-stage process based on thematic analysis.

Findings: Four themes emerged: preparedness; nurture; A-EQUIP, its application and use; and asset.

Conclusion: Appropriate selection of candidates, greater standardisation of education by higher education institutions, adaptation of the A-EQUIP model and organisational support are required to embed the professional nurse advocate's role.

“护理护士”：专业护士倡导应用A-EQUIP模式的经验。

背景：利用倡导教育和质量改进（a - equip）模式，专业护士倡导者接受教育，以领导恢复性临床监督的交付，帮助支持护士的专业实践，提高弹性，并支持对患者护理的积极影响。目的：探讨专业护士长在临床实践中扮演角色和运用A-EQUIP模式的经验。方法：采用焦点小组的定性现象学方法，在2023年的3个月期间收集数据，采用基于主题分析的三阶段过程进行分析。发现：出现了四个主题：准备；培养;A-EQUIP及其应用与使用；和资产。结论：要嵌入专业护士倡导者的角色，需要适当的候选人选择、高等教育机构教育的更大标准化、A-EQUIP模式的适应和组织支持。
