Recent United Kingdom government policy emphasises that prescribing by nurses can improve access to medicines. However, the views of nurses prescribing for children have not been explored.
To explore the views of children's nurses working in a specialist hospital on the adoption of the prescribing role in their practice.
A longitudinal, qualitative approach was adopted using thematic analysis on semi-structured interview data collected during 2006 and 2007. Participants were seven children's nurses who were qualified nurse prescribers.
Nurse prescribing was reported to improve efficiency, allow nurses to complete episodes of care and improve communication with patients. This was believed to enhance quality of care and job satisfaction for nurses.
Children's nurses' capacity to prescribe medicines contributes to healthcare policy. Further research is recommended to substantiate these findings.
英国政府近期政策强调，护士开处方可改善药品获取情况。然而，护士为儿童开处方的观点尚未得到探讨。
探讨在专科医院工作的儿童护士对在其实践中采用开处方角色的看法。
采用纵向定性研究方法，对2006年至2007年期间收集的半结构化访谈数据进行主题分析。参与者为七名具备资格的护士开方者——儿童护士。
据报告，护士开处方提高了效率，使护士能够完成护理过程并改善与患者的沟通。这被认为可提高护理质量并提升护士的工作满意度。
儿童护士的药品开方能力有助于医疗保健政策的实施。建议进一步开展研究以证实这些发现。
