Abstract

Background: The enrolled nurse is the second-level regulated nursing role in Australia and internationally. Reports and research indicate that the nursing profession requires greater understanding of the role, so it can be utilised to its potential.

Aim: To explore issues that may impact the EN role in the Australian nursing workforce.

Design: An integrative review.

Methods: A seven-step framework was used to review scholarly papers, government documents, and grey literature.

Results: Three themes from 24 documents were identified: understanding the EN's scope of practice, standardised practice, and career development.

Discussion: A lack of understanding of their scope of practice creates role confusion and a lack of standardised practice, with an expected progression to become a registered nurse. These factors contribute to ENs' not feeling valued.

Conclusion: The nursing profession do not understand the enrolled nurse role, and further work is required to value its place in the Australian nursing workforce.

探索二级监管护士在澳大利亚护理队伍中的作用:综合审查。
背景:注册护士是澳大利亚和国际上二级规范的护理角色。报告和研究表明,护理专业需要对这一角色有更深入的了解,这样才能发挥其潜力。目的:探讨可能影响护士在澳大利亚护理队伍中的作用的问题。设计:综合评价。方法:采用七步法对学术论文、政府文件和灰色文献进行综述。结果:从24份文件中确定了三个主题:理解EN的实践范围,标准化实践和职业发展。讨论:缺乏对执业范围的理解造成了角色混淆和缺乏标准化的执业,期望成为一名注册护士。这些因素导致ENs感觉不受重视。结论:护理专业不理解注册护士的角色,需要进一步的工作来重视其在澳大利亚护理队伍中的地位。
