Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to compare the work patterns of Canadian nurses in specialized and advanced roles through a self-report questionnaire filled out by 1,107 nurses from various provinces between June and September 2017.
- - Results showed that all nurse groups were most engaged in direct patient care but had limited involvement in research; notably, nurse practitioners (NPs) focused more on direct care than clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) and specialized nurses (SNs).
- - The findings suggest that understanding the different contributions of specialized and advanced nursing roles can help shape healthcare policies to better utilize their skills in the healthcare system.
Background: Determining the core competence of advanced practice nurses is foundational for promoting optimal design and implementation of advanced practice nursing roles. Core competencies specific to the contexts of the advanced practice nurse in Hong Kong have been developed, but not yet validated. Thus, this study aims to assess the construct validity of advanced practice nurse core competence scale in Hong Kong.

Scand J Caring Sci
March 2023
Background: Global health challenges demand the optimal use of nurses' professional competence and capability. Competencies related to the roles of advanced practice nurses have been developed, but research on these nurses' capabilities remains limited.
Aim: To summarise and compare the literature on the capabilities of advanced practice nurses and the dimensions of these capabilities.
Aim: To describe the clinical nurse specialist role and its outcomes and challenges.
Design: Participatory Action Research conducted in Finland between the fall of 2017 and the end of 2018.
Methods: A core participatory action research team (n = 10) led the design, implementation and evaluation of the research.
Aims: To (a) explore risk indicators related to interpersonal violence occurring under the influence of alcohol and to (b) search for interventions addressed towards violence perpetrators to prevent violence occurring under the influence of alcohol.
Design: Mixed method systematic review. This study has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews with register number CRD42021217848.
A career ladder for nurses, including several levels of nursing practice and specific roles for advanced practice nurses, was introduced in Hong Kong around the start of the 21st century. To date no studies have distinguished the practices of advanced practice nurses in Hong Kong. This cross-sectional study, conducted between November 2020 and March 2021, aims to identify and differentiate the practice patterns of advanced practice nurses by utilizing the Advanced Practice Role Delineation tool.

Background: The Strong Model of Advanced Practice tool, developed in the United States in 1990s and its Australia modification, has been increasingly used to delineate nursing and advanced practice nursing roles. Few research-driven efforts to develop and validate these tools have taken place.
Aim: To describe the mentoring process between the ICN Advanced Practice Nurse Network practice subgroup and the University of Pécs to support the emerging advanced practice role in Hungary, and explore the creation of a mentoring algorithm for faculty and other key stakeholders worldwide who wish to develop advanced practice nursing programs.
Background: Advanced practice nurses provide comprehensive clinical care and expand access to care in more than 70 countries. In March of 2017, a representative of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs requested assistance in curricula development for the inaugural advanced practice nursing program in Hungary.
Aim: To identify and differentiate the practice patterns of generalist, specialist and advanced practice nursing roles in specialist and central hospital contexts.
Background: In Finland, as in other Nordic countries, advanced practice nursing roles emerged around 2000. There are over 60,000 registered nurses/midwives in Finland and the clinical career pathway from a registered nurse to advanced practice nurse has been described yet not fully implemented in healthcare organizations.
Aim: To describe and compare the clinical nurse specialist core competency use in Finland, Denmark and Iceland.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: To develop, implement and evaluate the clinical nurse specialist's role within a specialist medical healthcare hospital. A secondary aim was to assess the feasibility of the 'Clinical Nurse Specialist Conceptualisation, Implementation, and Evaluation framework' in the role implementation.
Background: Implementation of advanced practice nursing roles is an increasing practice around the globe; however, the implementation of these roles is multidimensional, complex process.
Aim: To conduct a construct validity test on a clinical nurse specialist core competency scale.
Background: Clinical nurse specialists' competency development dates back to the late 20th century; however, there is scarcity of competency descriptions from outside of North America. Furthermore, little knowledge is available on the previous research-driven efforts to develop and validate clinical nurse specialist core competencies.
A scoping review of published literature and dialogue with international nurse practitioner educators and researchers revealed the education of nurse practitioner students varied within and between countries. This lack of cohesiveness hinders nurse practitioner role development and practice nationally and internationally. A rapid review of grey literature was conducted on nurse practitioner education standards in six countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, and USA).
