A survey was done to determine the current and future demand for occupational health nurses in the nonindustrial settings of multi-specialty group medical practices and HMOs in the U.S. The results regarding future demand indicate a growth rate for the number of positions for occupational health nurses in these settings at greater than 300% in the coming decade. The present low number of graduates from occupational health nursing education programs make it unlikely that this demand can be met, a situation which will have serious adverses consequences for the health of the American work force.
在美国多专科联合医疗诊所和健康维护组织(HMO)的非工业环境中,开展了一项调查以确定对职业健康护士的当前和未来需求。关于未来需求的结果表明,在未来十年中,这些环境下职业健康护士职位数量的增长率将超过300%。目前职业健康护理教育项目的毕业生数量较少,这使得不太可能满足这种需求,这种情况将对美国劳动力的健康产生严重的不利后果。
