This study attempts to clarify the distinction between orthopaedic and general nursing in response to criticism that orthopaedic nursing did not merit specialty status. The questionnaire survey asked nurses to assess a range of 76 nursing activities in terms of professional function. The results showed 36 out of the 76 activities were identified as 'highly orthopaedic'. The author emphasises that the holistic nature of nursing also applies to orthopaedic nursing and that this requires both generic and specialist skills. The implication for nurse education is that the necessary skills may need to be taught to a higher level to match a specialty status.
本研究旨在回应关于骨科护理不应享有专科地位的批评，阐明骨科护理与普通护理之间的区别。问卷调查要求护士根据专业功能对一系列76项护理活动进行评估。结果显示，76项活动中有36项被确定为“高度骨科化”。作者强调，护理的整体性也适用于骨科护理，这需要通用技能和专业技能。对护士教育的启示是，可能需要将必要的技能传授到更高水平，以匹配专科地位。
