An Integrative Review Of Facilitators And Barriers Influencing Collaboration And Teamwork Between General Practitioners And Nurses Working In General Practice, Susan Mcinnes, Kathleen Peters, Andrew D. Bonney, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Susan McInnes
Aim To identify facilitators and barriers influencing collaboration and teamwork between general practitioners and nurses working in general (family) practice. Background Internationally, a shortage of doctors entering and remaining in general practice and an increasing burden of chronic disease has diversified the nurse's role in this setting. Despite a well-established general practice nursing workforce, little attention has been paid to the ways doctors and nurses collaborate in this setting. Design Integrative literature review. Data sources CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Life, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Library of Systematic Reviews and Trove (dissertation and theses) were searched for papers published between …
Telemonitoring Can Assist In Managing Cardiovascular Disease In Primary Care: A Systematic Review Of Systematic Reviews, Renee Purcell, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Telemonitoring Can Assist In Managing Cardiovascular Disease In Primary Care: A Systematic Review Of Systematic Reviews, Renee Purcell, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Susan McInnes
Background There has been growing interest regarding the impact of telemonitoring and its ability to reduce the increasing burden of chronic diseases, including chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD), on healthcare systems. A number of randomised trials have been undertaken internationally and synthesised into various systematic reviews to establish an evidence base for this model of care. This study sought to synthesise and critically evaluate this large body of evidence to inform clinicians, researchers and policy makers. Methods A systematic review of systematic reviews investigating the impact of telemonitoring interventions in the primary care management of CVD was conducted. Reviews were included …
Clinical Placements In General Practice: Relationships Between Practice Nurses And Tertiary Institutions, Kath Peters, Elizabeth J. Halcomb, Susan Mcinnes
Clinical Placements In General Practice: Relationships Between Practice Nurses And Tertiary Institutions, Kath Peters, Elizabeth J. Halcomb, Susan Mcinnes
Susan McInnes
As a practice-based discipline a key component of undergraduate nurse education is clinical practice experience. The quality of clinical experiences has a significant impact on the students' ability to function competently post graduation. The relationship between higher education institutions (HEIs) and health service placement providers impacts upon the quality of clinical placements. In Australia, the growth of primary care nursing and the shortage of acute clinical places has prompted HEIs to explore the placement of students in general practice. Given the increasing attention being paid to non-traditional clinical placements, it is timely to explore how universities are establishing relationships and …
Nursing Students' Experiences Of Clinical Placement In Community Settings: A Qualitative Study, Kathleen Peters, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Nursing Students' Experiences Of Clinical Placement In Community Settings: A Qualitative Study, Kathleen Peters, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Susan McInnes
Background Changing community demographics and the rising incidence of chronic and complex conditions has exacerbated the primary care workload. Encouraging beginning nurses to view primary care nursing as a viable career option will help alleviate the workforce stress of this specialty. Whilst higher education institutions (HEI's) have increased the exposure of pre-registration nurses to community settings, there has been limited exploration of this experience from the perspective of pre-registration nurses. As potential key service providers, it is important to identify factors which influence how pre-registration nurses view primary care placements in the community. Aim This study seeks to explore the …
Practice Nurses Experiences Of Mentoring Undergraduate Nursing Students In Australian General Practice, Elizabeth Halcomb, Kathleen Peters, Susan Mcinnes
Practice Nurses Experiences Of Mentoring Undergraduate Nursing Students In Australian General Practice, Elizabeth Halcomb, Kathleen Peters, Susan Mcinnes
Susan McInnes
Internationally, the delivery of health services has shifted from secondary to primary care, necessitating an exponential growth of the nursing workforce and expansion of the nursing role in general practice. This growth, and the subsequent need to develop this workforce, has created a need to expose undergraduate nurses to general practice nursing as a viable career option. Concurrently, universities are struggling to find sufficient clinical places for their undergraduate students to gain clinical experience. It is logical, therefore, to increase the number of undergraduate nursing student placements in general practice. Through qualitative research methods, this paper seeks to explore the …
