{"title":"Independent and effective care – district nurses’ experiences of prescribing drugs: A systematic qualitative literature review","authors":"Christina Hammarberg, Anna Abelsson, Aysel Arslan, Anna Willman","doi":"10.1177/20571585241227594","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/20571585241227594","url":null,"abstract":"Numerous countries in the world have chosen to allow district nurses to prescribe drugs to streamline the primary care process. This qualitative, systematic literature study aimed to examine district nurses’ experience of prescribing within primary care. The search followed the PRISMA-P search strategy, and the quality assessment of the nine articles was completed using the review template for assessing studies with qualitative methodology, using GRADE CERQual. The databases CINAHL, Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were used. The result shows that district nurses experience prescribing as crucial for being able to meet patient needs through holistic and person-centered care. Being able to sufficiently and efficiently meet patient needs contributed to increased job satisfaction and professional pride in district nurses. However, district nurses need more collegial support and training in prescribing. The additional burden that the ability to prescribe poses needs to be addressed to prevent limitations in the prescription rights of district nurses. Through an extended prescription right, district nurses can contribute to a more efficient care system that can meet future demand for healthcare services in primary care.","PeriodicalId":91777,"journal":{"name":"Nordic journal of nursing research","volume":"22 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140518479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting restriction policies were implemented in healthcare settings globally, unwillingly excluding relatives from visiting the bedsides of their loved ones. The aim of the present study was to explore how the visiting restrictions influenced relatives’ relationships with patients and collaboration with registered nurses at non-pandemic hospital wards. In total, 13 relatives were interviewed. The study was reported following the COREQ guidelines and checklist. Content analysis led to three themes: 1) being excluded from providing care and support; 2) being excluded from conveying person-centred and situational relevant knowledge to registered nurses; and 3) being excluded from assessing the health status of the hospitalised loved one. Together they describe relatives feeling worried and powerless regarding the health of their hospitalised loved one and the performed nursing care. Findings from studies such as this are pivotal to any future national or global health crisis, where visiting restriction policies are implemented.","PeriodicalId":91777,"journal":{"name":"Nordic journal of nursing research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139329754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Still, postgraduate career paths are criticized for being too vague. To enable career path development, mapping of the current situation appears fundamental. The objective was therefore to chart the current professional positions and work conditions and to explore the future career aspirations of registered nurses with a doctoral degree in Sweden. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted including 118 participants, all nurses with a doctoral degree earned between 2016 and 2022. This study is reported in accordance with STROBE. The participants reported a significant change from hospital-based positions before doctoral studies, towards university-based positions after graduation. This is clearly in contrast to their expressed aspiration to hold a shared position, remaining in contact with the clinical context. In conclusion, a national collaboration is needed and wanted regarding career opportunities for registered nurses with a doctoral degree in Sweden. Furthermore, career paths within nursing science need to be established within the clinical context.","PeriodicalId":91777,"journal":{"name":"Nordic journal of nursing research","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to describe nursing students’ experiences of learning with a student-centered supervision model based on patient-oriented care during their clinical placement. A qualitative descriptive study involving interviews with 12 nursing students analyzed through inductive qualitative content analysis was conducted in accordance with COREQ. The findings revealed that the nursing students viewed learning as personal, knowledge, and professional development. Their learning experiences can be seen as a process in which the scaffolding is gradually reduced in line with each student's ability to act independently and establish a professional identity. The model can enhance structure and support in the practice setting to maximize learning.","PeriodicalId":91777,"journal":{"name":"Nordic journal of nursing research","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139329692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the world is becoming increasingly complex, and we face ongoing global challenges. A new, progressive step towards a global nursing curriculum is needed. This development is anticipated, and nursing students often request knowledge and perspectives that will prepare them to care in a sustainable way. To provide this and ensure equal health, intersectional perspectives must be at the foundation of future caring activities. There is thus a societal shift that makes it necessary to take a decisive step towards rethinking health through the lens of a sustainability paradigm.","PeriodicalId":91777,"journal":{"name":"Nordic journal of nursing research","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136204786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
