This study aimed to explore how different groups of participants perceived the concept of advanced nursing practice in Jordan.
In Jordan, there are postgraduate educational programmes offering a Master's degree in clinical nursing for registered nurses. Intended to prepare nurses to practise at an advanced level as potential clinical nurse specialists in critical care, community health nursing and maternal newborn nursing, little was known prior to this study about the development of advanced nursing roles for nurses in Jordan and the drivers behind their establishment.
Using ethnographic design, narratives from semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation with participants from five Jordanian hospitals and two public universities were collected and analysed according to thematic analysis.
Four themes emerged from the data: core competencies, specific practice area vs. generic practice, beneficiaries of advanced nursing practice and drivers for educational change. The findings are similar to those found in other countries and highlight the need for a consensual understanding between nurse educationalists, professional bodies and employers about what advanced nursing practice in Jordan should be, so that a common framework can be identified.
Paralleling the lack of consistency in understanding of advanced nursing practice in the broader literature, participants described a number of different elements of advanced practice that are relevant to the specific context of contemporary Jordanian nursing.
本研究旨在探讨不同群体的参与者如何看待约旦高级护理实践的概念。
在约旦，有研究生教育计划为注册护士提供临床护理硕士学位。旨在培养护士在重症监护、社区卫生护理和母婴护理方面以高级临床护士专家的身份进行实践，在此之前，人们对约旦护士的高级护理角色的发展以及建立这些角色的驱动因素知之甚少。
采用民族志设计，从 5 家约旦医院和 2 所公立大学的参与者中收集半结构化访谈和非参与观察的叙事，并根据主题分析进行分析。
数据中出现了四个主题：核心能力、特定实践领域与通用实践、高级护理实践的受益者和教育变革的驱动力。这些发现与其他国家的发现相似，强调了护士教育者、专业机构和雇主之间需要就约旦的高级护理实践达成共识，以便确定共同的框架。
与更广泛文献中对高级护理实践理解的不一致相呼应，参与者描述了一些与当代约旦护理特定背景相关的高级实践的不同要素。
