The emergency nursing role is incredibly challenging in Africa, and Botswana is no exception due to the lack of qualified nursing staff, the lack of specialty training, and the demanding work environment. Botswana's use of the primary healthcare system to provide treatment to all, including those in need of urgent care, demonstrates the necessity of integrating emergency care services into primary healthcare. Our objective with this manuscript is to demonstrate the value of emergency nursing as a specialty in Botswana.
在非洲,急诊护理工作极具挑战性,博茨瓦纳也不例外,因为该国缺乏合格的护理人员、缺乏专业培训,且工作环境要求苛刻。博茨瓦纳利用初级医疗保健系统为所有人提供治疗,包括那些需要紧急护理的人,这表明将急诊护理服务纳入初级医疗保健的必要性。我们撰写本文的目的是展示急诊护理作为博茨瓦纳一个专业领域的价值。
