Aims: To explore patterns and dynamics during the co-design process of nurse practitioners' role development in three departments in a Belgian tertiary hospital.
Design: Participatory action research was utilised in conjunction with principles of a Grounded Theory approach to explore patterns and dynamics.
Methods: Sixteen meetings were conducted between January and June 2021 with interdisciplinary teams to develop the roles.
Objectives: To reflect on current practice analyses regarding the role of advanced practice nurse (APN) researcher in oncology, and report on the challenges that were faced and lessons we have learned when intensively working with APNs on doing research within the domain of oncology.
Methods: Discussions with APNs supervised by or who collaborated with academics in nursing science during the past 10 years on doing research within the domain of oncology.
Results: Several misconceptions exist regarding the role of APNs as researchers.
Aims: The aim of the study was to develop a comprehensive competency framework for advanced practice nurses in Belgium.
Design: A co-design development process was conducted.
Methods: This study consisted of two consecutive stages (November 2020-December 2021): (1) developing a competency framework for advanced practice nurses in Belgium by the research team, based on literature and (2) group discussions or interviews with and written feedback from key stakeholders.
Aims: (1) To identify, evaluate and summarize evidence about the objectives and characteristics of mentoring programmes for specialized nurses (SNs) or nurse navigators (NNs) and advanced practice nurses (APNs) and (2) to identify the effectiveness of these programmes.
Design: A systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines.
Data Sources: From November 2022 until 7 December 2022, four databases were searched: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and The Cochrane Library.
Purpose: Exploring the persisting presence of underlying processes, dynamics, experienced barriers and facilitators of Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) in oncology and Oncology Nurse Navigators (ONN) during their role integration in an interprofessional team over a research period of seven years.
Methods: A qualitative study based on the principles of Grounded Theory, in which individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 51 ONN and APN from 11 university and local hospitals in Belgium between 2011-2018. Data were analyzed to develop a framework that consists of different themes.
