Background: Internationally, nurses are gaining recognition for their contributions to public health and global health initiatives, however, their contributions to surveillance and the detection of new and emerging infectious disease, which is an important element of global health security, remain largely unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of nurse experts related to the current and optimal roles of nurses in surveillance of new and emerging infectious diseases. Additionally, this study aimed to identify the skills needed by nurses in all practice settings for optimal performance of surveillance and to identify barriers to achieving optimal performance of surveillance.
