“…The APPs conducted advanced practice tasks with varying levels of autonomy and responsibility, in relation to referral letter screening, injection therapy, and arranging investigations and surgery. Similarly to previous findings (Dawson & Ghazi, ; Stamm & Hill, ), the advanced practice role allowed for professional development, with increased knowledge and growth in interdisciplinary networks and support. However, the APP workload was regarded as heavy, with deployment of more formal training opportunities and supports warranted.…”

“…It seems that in this debate about the role of the nurse, many respondents articulated a cognitive rigidity, while being willing to live with action flexibility to deal with the health and illness needs on the ground. However, in a survey including 27 countries in Europe, Stamm and Hill (2011) found that 92% of the 479 non-physician health professionals reported performing extended roles. This includes the role of diagnosing and treating illnesses.…”

The objective of this study was to create a model of nursing practice in Sub-Saharan Africa based on population needs, current practice and expectations of stakeholders. A three component study was done in eight sub-Saharan countries to ascertain (1) the health needs and the burden of disease in these countries, as well as evaluating the structure of their health systems; (2) the views on nursing functions held by opinion leaders in the community, other health professionals, patients and their families; and (3) to conduct a survey of nurses and midwives to determine the roles that they actually perform in hospitals and public health centres (PHCs). Four Anglophone and 4 Francophone countries were studied with a document audit, and 191 stakeholders included in focus groups. The current practice of 734 nurses in ambulatory and hospital settings was evaluated. Based on a triangulation of this data, 9 roles were identified: the provision of holistic care, health education, managing the care environment, as well as the advocacy and collaboration, providing emergency care, providing midwifery care, prevention and management of infectious diseases and diagnosis and treatment. Three contextual support factors (positive policies and practices, an enacted regulatory framework and an enabling educational system) were also identified.

“…Biomedical advancements, new pharmacological treatment options, and better knowledge about the risk for developing comorbidities require new approaches to communicate with patients in a timely and meaningful way 12 13. In several countries, larger healthcare teams with more specialised HPs have been established to meet the complexity of the healthcare needs of patients with rheumatic diseases 14 15. Furthermore, the development of e-health and the use of mobile telehealth platforms have introduced new possibilities for communication and delivery of information, which are increasingly applied in PE.…”

“…In some countries PE is still limited to providing knowledge in order to improve patients’ adherence to treatment. Additionally, there seems to be a large variation in HPs’ involvement in PE 15. To what extent different HPs participate in PE is likely to depend on their competency, availability and education, as well as the organisation of the healthcare system 16.…”

ObjectivesThe task force aimed to: (1) develop evidence-based recommendations for patient education (PE) for people with inflammatory arthritis, (2) identify the need for further research on PE and (3) determine health professionals' educational needs in order to provide evidence-based PE. Methods A multidisciplinary task force, representing 10 European countries, formulated a definition for PE and 10 research questions that guided a systematic literature review (SLR). The results from the SLR were discussed and used as a basis for developing the recommendations, a research agenda and an educational agenda. The recommendations were categorised according to level and strength of evidence graded from A (highest) to D (lowest). Task force members rated their agreement with each recommendation from 0 (total disagreement) to 10 (total agreement). Results Based on the SLR and expert opinions, eight recommendations were developed, four with strength A evidence. The recommendations addressed when and by whom PE should be offered, modes and methods of delivery, theoretical framework, outcomes and evaluation. A high level of agreement was achieved for all recommendations (mean range 9.4-9.8). The task force proposed a research agenda and an educational agenda. Conclusions The eight evidence-based and expert opinion-based recommendations for PE for people with inflammatory arthritis are intended to provide a core framework for the delivery of PE and training for health professionals in delivering PE across Europe.
