[Qualification requirements for the re-delegation of medical activities to nursing professionals (with extended competencies)].

Background: For many years, the redistribution of tasks and thus a transfer of medical activities to nursing professionals with extended competencies has been discussed in Germany and is currently being regulated by the federal government.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to record the opinions of GPs and nurses on the qualification requirements for possible delegable and substitutable medical activities to nurses using the example of outpatient dementia care.

Method: In the context of a quantitative survey, the qualification requirements for the delegation of 30 different activities to nurses were collected from primary care physicians and nurses.

Methods: In four focus group discussions with 10 GPs and 13 nurses, qualitative content analysis was used to investigate attitudes towards the transfer of certain tasks and to identify opportunities and barriers to their introduction.
