“…In response to growing demand for home and community‐based services and to address shortages of professional staff and rising healthcare system costs, the PSW role has expanded to include care activities previously performed by RHPs (Barken et al., ; Berta et al., ; De Vliegher, Declercq, Aertgeerts, & Moons, ). This transfer of more advanced care activities to PSWs has been labelled “task‐shifting” in the literature (Barken et al., ; Denton et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ). Care activities identified in the literature as being shifted to PSWs in home care include assistance with medications including eye drops and injections (Axelsson & Elmstahl, ; Craftman, Hammar, von Strauss, Hilleras, & Westerbotn, ; De Vliegher et al., ; Denton et al., ; Moorman & Macdonald, ; Sharman et al., ; Swedberg et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), wound and stoma care (De Vliegher et al., ; Denton et al., ; Moorman & Macdonald, ; Sharman et al., ; Swedberg et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), complex lifts and transfers (De Vliegher et al., ; Denton et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), home exercise routines (Denton et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), enteral feeding (De Vliegher et al., ; Denton et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), catheterisation (Denton et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ), and assistance with complex home‐care technology such as feeding pumps, glucose monitors and home ventilators (Craftman et al., ; De Vliegher et al., ; Denton et al., ; Moorman & Macdonald, ; Sharman et al., ; Swedberg et al., ; Zeytinoglu et al., ).…”
