Many authors tried to clarify the palliative care nurses' role, overall in the home care setting, but little is known in different settings of care. We aim to present a Specialist profile of palliative care (PC) nurses in an Italian hospital-based Palliative Care Unit.
With an organizational case study approach, we conducted a literature review on PC nurse's role, and we presented the Specialist PC nurses' profile, describing competences and key related activities.
Our specialist profile highlights that clinical activities are similar to the experiences described in the literature (symptom assessment and management, communication, interprofessional work), while training and research activities are new fields of interest that it's important to explore and promote, most of all in our country.
Sustaining the flexibility of the role, being recognized by colleagues and keeping the three dimensions connected are the major challenges: drawing up a specialist palliative care nurses' profile can help the team to better define the role framework in an interdisciplinary context.
许多作者试图阐明姑息治疗护士的角色，总体上是在家庭护理环境中，但在不同的护理环境中知之甚少。我们旨在展示意大利一家医院姑息治疗病房中姑息治疗护士的专业人员概况。
采用组织案例研究方法，我们对姑息治疗护士的角色进行了文献回顾，并介绍了专业姑息治疗护士的概况，描述了能力和关键相关活动。
我们的专业人员概况强调，临床活动与文献中描述的经验相似（症状评估和管理、沟通、跨专业工作），而培训和研究活动是新的感兴趣领域，重要的是要探索和促进，尤其是在我们的国家。
维持角色的灵活性、得到同事的认可并保持三个维度的联系是主要挑战：制定专业姑息治疗护士的概况可以帮助团队在跨学科环境中更好地定义角色框架。
