Nursing practices on sexual health for people with neurological disorders: A narrative review.

Aims: To identify and describe nursing practices on the sexual health of people with neurological disorders.

Design: Narrative review.

Methods: Data were extracted from 1 January 2002, to 20 May 2021.

The deployment of advanced practice nurses in the French health system: From clinics to professional networks.

Aim: The aim of this study is to contribute to an understanding of the role deployment of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in French healthcare settings.

Introduction: The introduction of APNs was formalised in France by the decrees issued on 18 July 2018, which described the areas, activities and training of APNs.

Background: A qualitative study on the role implementation of APNs was conducted between July 2021 and May 2022 following a call for projects launched by the Île-de-France Regional Health Agency to evaluate the deployment of APNs in the area.

[Deployment of advanced nursing practice in Île-de-France].

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are finding it difficult to establish themselves once they have completed their training. Nearly half (49%) of graduates interviewed in a survey said they were not working as APNs, which raises real questions about the future of new graduates and their establishment in local areas. Under such conditions, the future of IPAs sometimes seems compromised, especially those in private practice.

[For a better understanding of the profile of nurses working in France who hold or are working toward a Ph.D: A quantitative descriptive study].

Introduction: In 2009, the French Association de recherche en soins infirmiers (Nursing Research Association) counted fifty-four nurses holding a doctorate or working toward one. Recent developments in this area include the creation of section 92, for nursing sciences, in the National Council of Universities, making it possible for nurses in France to become professors with teaching and research responsibilities.

Objectives: To update and complete the 2009 data by identifying the grades, fields of activity, and disciplines of nurses holding a doctorate or studying for one.

Nursing boundaries and work identity construction among nurses exercising an advanced role: A qualitative study.

Research on the deployment of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in healthcare settings highlights significant challenges for APNs transitioning to a broader, less well-defined nursing role in negotiating professional boundaries and a new work identity with other health workers. However, theories of boundary-work and professional identity have been rarely applied to APNs relationships with general nurses and colleagues in lower professional position such as nursing-assistants. APNs relationships with these colleagues remain poorly understood.

Implementing advanced practice nursing in France: A country-wide survey 2 years after its introduction.

Objectives: To examine the characteristics of the first Advanced Practice Nurses in France and to compare the French model to international standards.

Background: Common barriers and facilitators to their integration in healthcare provision have been identified internationally. In France, the legislative framework was introduced in 2016, and the first graduates entered the workforce in 2019.

Introduction: Advanced nursing practice is the subject of a growing number of studies. To date, however, few of them have analyzed the local processes used to implement the functions of advanced practice nurses (APNs). The research presented in this article concerns a pilot project on the precursors of APNs (pre-APNs) in the French healthcare system.

When primary care providers and smokers meet: a systematic review and metasynthesis.

Primary Care Providers (PCPs) often deal with patients on daily clinical practice without knowing anything about their smoking status and willingness to quit. The aim of this metasynthesis is to explore the PCPs and patients who are smokers perspectives regarding the issue of smoking cessation within primary care settings. It relies on the model of meta-ethnography and follows thematic synthesis procedures.

Among the different forms of knowledge, experiential knowledge is widely used in certain activities in the field of health. Most often connected to patients, it is also discussed in relation to health professionals, but less frequently. This article offers some points of reference and clarifies what underlies experiential knowledge.

Nurse coordinator roles in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A French national survey.

Unlabelled: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mostly occurs in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). HCC treatment may have a direct impact on CLD prognosis. HCC management can therefore become complex, involving multiple health care providers, such as oncologists, hepatologists, radiologists, and surgeons.

Clinical practice, generally identified as a medical activity, is also a feature of other professions. Anecdotal evidence generally shows that nurses, but also the people they work with and the recipients of care, do not identify their "bedside" activity as "clinical practice." However, from the initial training stage onward, teaching and learning center on providing people with care.

Benzodiazepine and Z drug cessation in elderly patients: A qualitative study on the perception of healthcare providers and the place of advanced practice nurses.

Sedative-use disorder can occur in elderly individuals, but remains a taboo subject. France is the second top-consuming country of benzodiazepines (BZDs) and Z drugs in Europe, with 38% of women >80 years old using these drugs. Despite the recommendations of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) to general practitioners, deprescription remains rare.

[The discipline of nursing : Knowledge, teaching, and care].

In recent years, professional skills and the nursing profession in France have undergone major transformations. These have included the recognition of advanced nursing practice and its implementation in 2018, and the creation by the National Council of Universities in 2019 of a “Nursing” section (n° 92), which has paved the way for the development of research and teaching in nursing in an academic environment in France.To support these transformations, the Association de recherche en soins infirmiers (Arsi) (Nursing Research Association) has for several years been organizing seminars and symposia.

Constructing a research problem: From the story of a female patient with multiple sclerosis to a nursing research project on sexual health.

The research problem, an essential step in the scientific research process, comprises different components that should be combined within the same time frame, hence its complexity. There is no consensus regarding its definition, and the ways in which it can be constructed have received little attention in the literature. Forming a research problem is an intellectual and reflective process that involves questioning, documentation, and choices aimed at moving from an idea or subject to a specific research question.

The problematic, an essential step in the scientific research process, includes different components that must be articulated in the same temporality, hence its complexity. There is no consensus on definitions and a relatively short description of construction modalities in the literature. The problematization process is an intellectual, reflexive, questioning, documentation, and choice process aimed at moving from an idea or subject to a specific research question to be answered.
