Throughout the world, healthcare is increasingly being provided in home and community-based settings. There is a growing awareness that the most effective, least costly, patient-preferred setting is patients' home. Thus, home healthcare nursing is a growing nursing specialty, requiring a unique set of nursing knowledge and skills. Unlike many other nursing specialties, home healthcare nursing has few professional organizations to develop or support its practice. This article describes how an international network of home healthcare nurses developed international guidelines for home healthcare nurses throughout the world. It outlines how the guidelines for home healthcare nursing practice were developed, how an international panel of reviewers was recruited, and the process they used for reaching a consensus. It also describes the plan for nurses to contribute to future updates to the guidelines.
在世界各地,医疗保健越来越多地在家庭和社区环境中提供。人们越来越意识到,最有效、成本最低、患者首选的环境是患者的家。因此,家庭医疗护理是一个不断发展的护理专业,需要一套独特的护理知识和技能。与许多其他护理专业不同,家庭医疗护理几乎没有专业组织来发展或支持其实践。本文描述了一个国际家庭医疗护士网络如何为全球家庭医疗护士制定国际指南。它概述了家庭医疗护理实践指南是如何制定的,如何招募国际评审小组,以及他们达成共识所采用的过程。它还描述了护士为该指南未来更新做出贡献的计划。
