We surveyed 655 health professionals affiliated with tertiary level neonatal intensive care units in Canada and the United States to define an expanded role for nurses in neonatology and to determine the educational requirements for the role. The role, comprising advanced clinical practice, educational, research, and administrative responsibilities, is a blend of nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist activities. Based on survey findings, a neonatal stream within the existing Master of Health Sciences program at McMaster University was developed. To date, 15 clinical nurse specialists/neonatal practitioners (CNS/NPs) are employed in five neonatal intensive care units in Ontario and other related institutions. A randomized trial to evaluate these individuals is in progress.
我们对加拿大和美国三级新生儿重症监护病房的655名卫生专业人员进行了调查，以明确护士在新生儿学中的扩展角色，并确定该角色的教育要求。该角色包括高级临床实践、教育、研究和行政职责，是执业护士和临床护理专家活动的结合。根据调查结果，麦克马斯特大学现有的健康科学硕士项目中设立了一个新生儿方向。迄今为止，安大略省的五个新生儿重症监护病房和其他相关机构雇佣了15名临床护理专家/新生儿执业护士（CNS/NPs）。一项评估这些人员的随机试验正在进行中。
