RESUMEN

Clinical Video Telehealth (CVT) use is increasing and allows geographically separated care; however, this separation may affect participants behaviors. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews, we asked CVT nurse practitioners (NP), staff and patients at a VA Medical Center about perspectives on how CVT effects communication and identified three themes. They remarked on the complexity of scheduling appointments, local barriers to care, and acutely ill patients. NPs discussed how CVT altered sensory collection during the physical exam and differences in building provider-patient relationships. Patients perceptions mirrored these themes. NPs identified how CVT requires different workflow, behaviors, and use of their senses. Patients expressed similar concerns with CVT.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Examinar las variaciones en los modelos de atención de transición y coordinación de atención de enfermeras practicantes (NP) que se han puesto en funcionamiento dentro de poblaciones objetivo que han reducido fiscalmente los costos de atención médica en los EE.

Evaluación De la evidencia de investigación disponible, varios Las estructuras y los mecanismos de apoyo se identifican como facilitadores para que los PN desempeñen su papel de liderazgo en la atención de transición y los modelos de coordinación de la atención. y la prestación de servicios de coordinación de atención en todos los niveles de atención. El liderazgo de enfermería puede promover que las NP tengan potencial para liderar reformas de la atención médica en diversas poblaciones. Conclusión Las organizaciones nacionales y mundiales de atención médica deben incluir la creación de apalancamiento para las NP para brindar modelos de atención de transición y coordinación de atención como una prioridad en su plan estratégico de atención médica y tomar medidas para promover el nivel de liderazgo de las NP en la atención innovadora centrada en el paciente.

AimTo examine the variations in nurse practitioner (NP) transitional care and care coordination models which have been operationalized within targeted populations that have fiscally reduced healthcare costs in the USA. A context of future globalization application of these emerging models will be discussed.Background The USA healthcare is complicated and the need for care coordination across systems and providers is essential to maintain quality of care. NPs are ideally positioned to act as leaders and clinicians both within and beyond the health care organization to deliver patient centric transitional care and care coordination models in the heart failure, geriatrics, palliative care and mental health populations.Evaluation From the available research evidence, several support structures and mechanisms are identified as enablers for NPs to enact their leadership role in transitional care and care coordination models.ImplicationsNurses have a vital role influencing the organization's strategic plan and prioritizing leadership capacity building to advocate that the NP role can be expanded to transitional care and care coordination service delivery across levels of care. Nursing leadership can promote that NPs have potential in leading health care reforms in diverse populations.Conclusion National and global health care organizations need to include building leverage for NPs to deliver transitional care and care coordination models as a priority in their healthcare strategic plan and take action to promote the level of NPs leadership in innovative patient centric care.

RESUMEN

AIM: A concept analysis of nurse practitioner (NP) role transition. BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act is expected to provide 32 million Americans with health insurance, and NPs are gaining attention in addressing this increasing demand for healthcare providers. However, there is limited analysis of the transition from registered nurse to NP. Oftentimes, during this transition, there is a shift from an experienced, expert status to an inexperienced, novice status, with a subsequent loss of confidence in one's ability and competence. This can hinder successful role development and affect employment continuity within the first year of practice. METHODS AND SOURCES: NP role transition was examined using Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis. Electronic databases were searched using the terms role transition and nurse practitioner. Thirty articles from nursing, psychology, and business were included. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The four defining attributes of NP role transition are absorption of the role, the shift from provider of care to prescriber of care, straddling two identities, and mixed emotions. Personal and environmental antecedents and consequences of the concept are identified. The development of empirical knowledge on NP role transition through further research is important in order for new-to-practice NPs to become high-quality, full-functioning providers.

RESUMEN

Abstract Background: Nurse practitioners are playing an increasing role in the delivery of primary healthcare. Patient satisfaction with their services patients is an important factor to the expansion of their role in the health services. Objective: To explore the level of patient satisfaction with nurse practitioner delivered services at two health centres in urban Jamaica. Method: A cross sectional survey of 120 adult clients (age ≥18 years old) seen by Nurse Practitioner at a Type 3 or Type 5 health centre in Kingston, Jamaica was conducted using a modified self-administered Nurse Practitioner Satisfaction Survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS® version 18 for Windows®. Results: The study achieved response rate of 91.6% (n=120). The majority were females (77%) with an average age of 40 ± 16 years. Most (63%) were from the Type 5 health centre and the rest (37%) were from a Type 3 facility. The mean general satisfaction score was 81 out of a possible 90 and 83% of the respondents reported they were very satisfied with another 17% expressing that they were satisfied with the nurse practitioner services at both facilities. No respondent was dissatisfied. The mean satisfaction score was significantly higher among respondents 40 years and older than that of their younger counterparts. Socio demographic and organization characteristics were not associated with the mean satisfaction score. Conclusions: A high level of satisfaction exists among patients seen by nurse practitioners at two facilities in Kingston, Jamaica. This may represent an opportunity for expanded role of Nurse practitioners in the delivery of primary in Jamaica.

RESUMEN

Despite the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in treating chronic insomnia, it remains underutilized. Lack of appropriately-trained CBT-I providers is a major reason. Master's-level practitioners (MLPs) may, in addition to doctoral-level psychologists, be uniquely positioned to fill this role, based not only on "goodness of professional fit" but also given a handful of studies showing these individuals' care outcomes meet or exceed standard outcomes. However, the ability of MLPs to provide CBT-I will be significantly restricted until a clear pathway is established that extends from training opportunities to credentialing. Further questions remain about how to attract and incorporate MLPs into established practices.

The study used the Global Assessment of Personal and Interpersonal Leadership, given by David Fischman, with the permission of the author obtained on October 7, 2009. Prior to implementation, there was a face validity test and two test pilots, who helped analyze and verify the compression of each question, its content, wording, clarity and coherence that should exist between the stated objective, the formulation of the problem, the theoretical framework and the content of the instrument. To give a score to each of the dimensions studied followed the instructions of the grading system proposed by Fischman, whose scores were classified into the categories of very low, low, moderate, high and very high. The statistical technique used to analyze data was the Mann-Whitney U. The study showed the main strengths and weaknesses of each of the dimensions of the variables of personal and interpersonal leadership. The weaknesses in the personal leadership characteristics of nurse coordinators were found in the management of self control, balance, coping productive and the most significant weakness was in the little ability to take responsibility for their personal growth, acceptance challenges and develop healthy habits such as discipline, perseverance and commitment to targets to their professional growth. NP in the main weakness was related to the characteristic of responsibility, as coordinators difficult personal and professional growth of individuals. It should be noted that the most significant strengths in these NPs were found in the dimensions of personal leadership, which highlights the ego's control and management of organic balance, spiritual and mental.
