Advanced urology Nursing Practice
Nature Reviews Urology, 2014Co-Authors: Helen CroweAbstract:Urology Nursing Practice is rapidly developing around the world in response to technological advances, the expansion of service needs, and the increasing subspecialization of urology. Here, Helen Crowe provides unique insight into the successes and challenges of advanced urology Nursing and the changing face of this specialty. Urology Nursing has developed as a specialty over the past few decades in response to several factors, workload demands being a prime reason. Nurses are taking on additional roles and activities including procedures such as cystoscopy and prostate biopsy, and running nurse-led clinics for a variety of urological conditions. Audits of advanced urological Nursing Practice have shown this care to be of a high standard and investigative procedures performed by these nurses match the diagnostic quality of existing services. Professional urological Nursing organizations support the professional needs of these nurses, but the provision of education and training for advanced Practice activities remains an unaddressed need. A range of confusing advanced urology Nursing titles exists, and uncertainty regarding the roles and scope of Practice for these nurses remains a concern. Acceptance and support from medical colleagues is required for the success of advanced urological Nursing Practice, but opinions on these roles remain divided.

community public health Nursing Practice leaders views of the doctorate of Nursing Practice
Public Health Nursing, 2009Co-Authors: Susan M Swider, Pamela F Levin, Julia Muennich Cowell, Susan Breakwell, Pearl Holland, Janet WallinderAbstract:OBJECTIVES: This paper presents thoughts of Practice leaders in the community/public health Nursing (C/PHN) specialty on advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) and the necessary educational preparation for such Practice. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: Practice leaders were engaged in conversations specifically focused on the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) as preparation for ANP in their specialties, and asked to consider the benefits of, and challenges to, this educational program. MEASURES AND RESULTS: The resulting remarks were then assessed for themes by the interviewers and these are presented along with thoughts on the future of education for ANP. CONCLUSION: Overall, there was much agreement among the Practice leaders interviewed about the importance of a broad skill set for ANP in the specialty. However, the Practice leaders interviewed here also identified the practical challenges involved in educating nurses at the DNP level in the C/PHN specialty, as well as some concerns about the definitions of ANP for the future.

Language, research and Nursing Practice.
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2001Co-Authors: Kristín BjörnsdóttirAbstract:AIM OF THE PAPER: This paper highlights the centrality of language in constructing knowledge. It aims at making us sensitive to the political nature of knowledge production and the complex power relationships that may emerge as a result of our efforts to create new knowledge. BACKGROUND: Science, as understood here, is a linguistic construction, rather than a mirror reflection of reality. A number of examples are presented, demonstrating the complex ways in which language is central in shaping all our attempts to know, science included, and Nursing Practice. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis presented in this paper an argument is made for a substantial re-thinking of Nursing research and its relationship to Nursing Practice. Research needs to be an integral part of everyday Nursing Practice, a way of posing questions and reflecting on answers. Further, nurses need to be aware of the potentially coercive nature of knowledge as well as its liberating effect.

Language, ideology, and Nursing Practice.
Scholarly inquiry for nursing practice, 1998Co-Authors: Kristín BjörnsdóttirAbstract:: This article explores the ways in which Nursing Practice is shaped by language and ideology. It is based on an ethnographic study conducted at two general surgical units in one of the main acute care hospitals in Iceland. The data used were qualitative: transcribed semistructured interviews with registered nurses on two acute care units, field notes from a participant observation on the two units and contextual information from written documents, such as yearly reports from the hospital and newspaper articles. The main findings revealed a stark contrast between the two discourses noticed. The public discourse, observed at team meetings in giving reports and in the written documentation, was characterized by objectivity and distancing from patients' personal understandings. The style of presentation was distant and mechanical. The private discourse, which emerged in private discussions between staff on the units and in interviews with the researcher, reflected the nurses' attempts to understand each patient's situation and outlook on life. This discourse was much more engaged, reflecting the nurses' energy and interest in being of assistance. By highlighting the difference between private and public discourses, this study provides important insight into the complex ways in which language and power interact to create different conditions for Nursing Practice. Based on these findings inferences are made as to how Nursing Practice is shaped by ideology.

Research and oncology Nursing Practice
Seminars in Oncology Nursing, 2000Co-Authors: Deborah B. Mcguire, Mary E. RopkaAbstract:Objective: To trace the evolution of oncology Nursing research and to discuss its contribution to oncology Nursing Practice and health care. Data Sources: Articles, textbooks, organizational documents, conference proceedings, and personal communication. Conclusions: Placing research in perspective will help suggest where we should go as a Nursing specialty to provide excellent cancer care to patients, families, communities, and populations. It will also suggest directions for research priorities and for conceptual, methodologic, and health policy activities. Implications for Nursing Practice: To influence oncology care, it is essential that oncology nurse researchers be responsive to trends that are relevant to both the conduct and utilization of oncology Nursing research.
