Annual tracking surveys of nurse practitioners in the Canadian province of Ontario conducted by the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care provide a picture of current employment and practice. The authors present an update on the most recent survey of primary health care nurse practitioners (PHC NPs), conducted in 2008.The study sample consisted of 378 NPs registered in Ontario in 2008 and practising in PHC. Differences in demographic, employment, and practice characteristics in a variety of practice settings are explored. Geographic distribution, education, autonomy of the NP, and the practice profiles varied across settings. The findings document the integration of NPs into Ontario's health-care system and suggest a need to further describe the models of practice and their impact on PHC outcomes.
加拿大安大略省农村和北部卫生研究中心为卫生与长期护理部开展的执业护士年度跟踪调查，呈现了当前的就业和执业情况。作者介绍了2008年进行的最新一次初级卫生保健执业护士（PHC NPs）调查的最新情况。研究样本包括2008年在安大略省注册并从事初级卫生保健工作的378名执业护士。探讨了不同执业环境下人口统计学、就业和执业特征的差异。地理分布、教育程度、执业护士的自主权以及执业概况因环境而异。研究结果记录了执业护士融入安大略省医疗保健系统的情况，并表明有必要进一步描述执业模式及其对初级卫生保健结果的影响。
