“…For example, patient outcomes that are potentially sensitive to nursing are affected by staffing ratios, skill mix and years of experience, patient acuity, medical practice, Magnet status and effective interdisciplinary communication (Duffield et al 2011;Krueger et al 2013). Work environments are not unidimensional contexts nor are patient outcomes, and there are numerous factors other than level of education that come to bear.…”

Certainly, more evidence is needed to evaluate the contribution master's level education of nurses makes to factors effecting the work environment (Gijbels et al 2010).…”

“…On the other hand, Willis et al 17 used a realist review method to examine relationships between interventions and sustained culture change. Separate review work has yielded results with limited generalisability by focusing on prespecified healthcare environmental variables, such as nursing culture18–20 or surgical procedures 21. Other work by the ‘Deepening our Understanding of Quality improvement in Europe’ (DUQuE) team examined relationships between organisational-level culture and quality management systems 22.…”

Association between organisational and workplace cultures, and patient outcomes: systematic review protocol

IntroductionDespite widespread interest in the topic, no current synthesis of research is available analysing the linkages between organisational or workplace cultures on the one hand, and patient outcomes on the other. This protocol proposes a systematic review to analyse and synthesise the literature to date on this topic. The resulting review will discuss characteristics of included studies in terms of the type of healthcare settings researched, the measurements of organisational and workplace culture, patient outcomes measured and the influence of these cultures on patient outcomes.Methods and analysisA systematic review will be conducted aiming to examine the associations between organisational and workplace cultures, and patient outcomes, guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. An English language search of abstracts will be executed using the following academic databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science and PsycINFO. The review will include relevant peer-reviewed articles from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), non-RCTs, controlled before and after studies, interrupted time series studies, cross-sectional analyses, qualitative studies and mixed-method studies. Multiple researchers will be involved in assessing the quality of articles for inclusion in the review. This protocol documents a detailed search strategy, including terms and inclusion criteria, which will form the basis of the subsequent systematic review.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is not required as no primary data will be collected. Results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations.

“…Despite having higher costs per hour because the majority of care is delivered by RNs, the Buurtzorg model has resulted in an overall reduction in care costs of between 30% and 40%, yet an increase in both patient satisfaction and the quality of care provided (De Blok, 2015;KPMG International, 2014). Based on these findings and the knowledge that it is the number of RNs that improves patient safety (Krueger et al, 2013), we should be advocating for ourselves and not a cheaper imitation. This is, however, unlikely given that we currently spend less on our healthcare than the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average (OECD, 2015), with current projections indicating that funding will further decrease as a proportion of gross domestic product until 2021 (The King's Fund, 2015).…”

Perspectives: The Nurse Associate: an asset to supplement the NHS workforce or a cheaper substitute for the registered nurse?

In England, nursing education and training is currently undergoing a fundamental change in terms of its delivery and funding. While the debate regarding the loss of the National Health Service (NHS) bursary rages on, albeit with ministers occluding their ears firmly with their fingers, one aspect of government policy that has been off the mainstream agenda for some time is that of the Nurse Associate (NA). However, last month a debate at London Southbank University (LSBU) kicked it back from long grass and into our living roomsnot just figuratively but literally, if you live-streamed the event via Periscope and Twitter. In this paper I will discuss the positions of those involved in the debate from my own perspective-as an undergraduate student nurse currently studying at King's College London. The concept of the NA is not a new one. In fact, many NHS trusts currently employ individuals in similar roles but under the guise of different job titles (Cavendish, 2013). This convolutes the debate and leads to confusion as to what will and will not become part of the role nationally, but streamlining and formalising the training of such positions would seemingly be a sensible strategy and is advocated within Health Education England's (HEE) Shape of Caring Review (HEE, 2015). However, as with many new initiatives, while admirable and well-meaning, it is the unintended consequences that are often overlooked. Like all nursing students, I have been encouraged to 'look for the evidence', 'question' and 'critique', and LSBU's debate was very much part of this process for me. Chaired by Professor Warren Turner, the Dean and Pro-Vice Chancellor of LSBU's School of Health and Social Care, and with Professor Leslie Baillie posing the pro-NA position and Dr Elaine Maxwell opposing, the event finally swayed my allegiance firmly into one camp.
