The purpose of this work was to examine the roles of Registered Nurses (RNs) in primary care (PC) and public health (PH) collaboration. Additionally, we aimed to explore whether the current scope of practice for RNs is adequate to support their roles in PC/PH collaboration.
A scoping review of current literature relating to the RN's role in PC/PH collaboration was conducted using the PRISMA 2009 checklist.
The review used key terms: primary care, public health, collaboration, nursing and nurse role across six electronic databases; 23 articles that were included in the final review were published over a 7-year span.
Four key RN roles relating to PC/PH collaboration were identified: relationship builder, outreach professional, programme facilitator and care coordinator. RNs supported transitions in chronic disease, communicable disease care and maternity care at various healthcare system levels including systemic, organizational, intrapersonal and interpersonal levels.
本研究旨在探讨注册护士(RNs)在初级保健(PC)和公共卫生(PH)协作中的作用。此外,我们还旨在探讨目前 RNs 的实践范围是否足以支持他们在 PC/PH 协作中的角色。
使用 PRISMA 2009 清单对当前与 RN 在 PC/PH 协作中的角色相关的文献进行了范围综述。
该综述使用了以下关键词:初级保健、公共卫生、协作、护理和护士角色,涵盖了六个电子数据库;最终综述共纳入了 23 篇在 7 年内发表的文章。
确定了与 PC/PH 协作相关的四个关键 RN 角色:关系构建者、外展专业人员、方案促进者和护理协调者。RNs 在各种医疗保健系统层面上支持慢性病、传染病护理和产妇护理的过渡,包括系统、组织、个体和人际层面。
