“…Therefore continuing to highlight the components of the APN role and positive impacts these roles can have on patient care, will result in increased understanding and public awareness of APN roles. 7 Despite the barriers around APN role definition and role acceptance, the number of endorsed NPs in Australia is increasing with expected growth and expansion of the role in years to come. 18…”

“…APNs are identifying gaps in the clinical service and adapting and expanding practice to best meet clinical demands and to support the current medical models of care. 7,8 The APN role encompasses a holistic care approach, while utilizing expert knowledge and critical decision-making skills. In doing so, the APN can positively impact patient outcomes through enhanced patient satisfaction and preparedness for treatment, adherence to prescribed interventions, and overall quality of life (QOL).…”

BackgroundProlonged periods of immunosuppression during hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can result in serious infectious complications and contribute to transplant‐related morbidity and mortality. Adherence to standardized pre and postinfection screening guidelines, prescribed medications, and early identification of infectious symptoms through comprehensive patient and family education are crucial to minimizing infectious complications. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are key members of the multidisciplinary care team in the HSCT specialty, maintaining a specialized skillset and scope of practice which includes a holistic based, preventative medicine and risk mitigation approach.MethodsThis review sought to describe the role of the APN in HSCT care and to further examine existing APN led models of care which focus on infection prevention and education throughout the HSCT treatment journey.ResultsNo studies specifically examined the APN role in infectious diseases risk assessment, screening, and management throughout the HSCT journey were identified throughout our review, however, there was considerable evidence to demonstrate the benefits of APN led care in the oncology and solid organ transplantation specialty which led to improvements in continuity of care, overall patient outcomes, and multidisciplinary team collaboration.The key themes identified in our review, were the role of the APN in the delivery of comprehensive patient and family education, the role of the APN in supporting, mentoring, and educating junior medical and nursing teams, the collaboration between the APN and the multidisciplinary care team, and the role of the APN in prompt recognition, triage, and management of treatment related complications, such as infection.

Viral hepatitis is the seventh largest cause of mortality, with the hepatitis C virus accounting for over half of all viral hepatitis deaths. The nurse plays a vital role in any team of health care professionals concerned within the care of patients. To determine the nurses’ performance regarding care of patients undergone liver transplant. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Liver transplant surgery unit, Pakistan Kidney and Liver institute and research center and Bahria International hospital Lahore. Total 86 nurses were enrolled. Data were collected on a predesigned nurse’s performance questionnaire regarding post liver transplant care and socio demographic characteristics for nurses including age, gender, qualification, duty shift and work experience were noted. Statistical analysis was performed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0. The frequencies, percentages were calculated for qualitative variables and Mean + SD were calculated for quantitative variables. Results: The mean age of nurses in group A as 29.32+5.62 and in group B as 29.35+5.45. Out of 43 participants 9(20.9%) were males whereas 34(79.1%) were females in group A and in group B there were 14(32.6%) were males and 29(67.4%) were females. The mean ranks in group A was 22.66 and in group B it was observed as 21.31. Insignificant difference has been observed in both groups (p-value 0.720). Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that the performance of nurses in terms of patient care is insufficient after liver transplantation
