Advanced urology nursing practice

Abstract: Urology nursing has developed as a specialty over the past few decades in response to several factors, workload demands being a prime reason. Nurses are taking on additional roles and activities including procedures such as cystoscopy and prostate biopsy, and running nurse-led clinics for a variety of urological conditions. Audits of advanced urological nursing practice have shown this care to be of a high standard and investigative procedures performed by these nurses match the diagnostic quality of existing … Show more

“…The practice of the pediatric nurse with expertise in Pediatric Urology is prominent in the multi-professional team, since they act as agents that enhance preventive and therapeutic actions. In addition, the AP nurse is the member of the health team capable of delivering a holistic care that meets the needs of the child/adolescent with LUTS and BBD, guiding the nursing assistance with a care perspective centered on the child and the family (4)(5) and based on principles of advocacy.…”

“…Due to the variety of problems related to the dynamics of urinary storage and voiding, nurses working in Pediatric Urology can assist children with severe urogenital malformations, who require several surgical interventions to stabilize their urological condition. In addition, nurses' practice in the clinical management of children and adolescents with bladder and bowel dysfunctions -such as daytime or nighttime urinary incontinence (enuresis), intestinal constipation, encopresis, and urinary retention -is mainly based on behavioral interventions such as bladder control training and changes in the habits and lifestyle of the child and family, sometimes including training for complex techniques such as clean intermittent catheterization (4)(5) . Despite the current lack of legal regulation in the country, Dias et al (6) report the experience of a pediatric oncology service in São Paulo, based on an American model of Clinical Nurse Specialist.…”

“…As sources in the literature show, across the world we urology nurses continue to struggle to know what titles to use in naming ourselves (Thompson et al, 2007;Albaugh, 2012;Crowe, 2014) and in Europe particularly our silence on the 'Advancing versus Advanced/Specialist versus Specializing' debate, as it applies to urological nursing practice, is as deafening as it is concerning.

“…Like Alice, we also seem confused about where we need to go. As sources in the literature show, across the world we urology nurses continue to struggle to know what titles to use in naming ourselves (Thompson et al, 2007;Albaugh, 2012;Crowe, 2014) and in Europe particularly our silence on the 'Advancing versus Advanced/Specialist versus Specializing' debate, as it applies to urological nursing practice, is as deafening as it is concerning. As if this were not enough, a commonly agreed patient-centred, educational curriculum for urological nurse preparation and role development, incorporating philosophy, policy and standards on critically important issues including levels of disease knowledge, urological nursing care responses, research, management and service development, remains glaringly absent.…”
