Nurse Migration: A Canadian Case Study

Objective. To synthesize information about nurse migration in and out of Canada and analyze its role as a policy lever to address the Canadian nursing shortage.
Principal Findings. Canada is both a source and a destination country for international nurse migration with an estimated net loss of nurses. The United States is the major beneficiary of Canadian nurse emigration resulting from the reduction of full-time jobs for nurses in Canada due to health system reforms. Canada faces a significant projected shortage of nurses that is too large to be ameliorated by ethical international nurse recruitment and immigration.
Conclusions. The current and projected shortage of nurses in Canada is a product of health care cost containment policies that failed to take into account long-term consequences for nurse workforce adequacy. An aging nurse workforce, exacerbated by layoffs of younger nurses with less seniority, and increasing demand for nurses contribute to a projection of nurse shortage that is too great to be solved ethically through international nurse recruitment. National policies to increase domestic nurse production and retention are recommended in addition to international collaboration among developed countries to move toward greater national nurse workforce self sufficiency.

炎症性肠病患者生存质量与其应对方式和社会支持的相关性

目的探讨炎症性肠病(IBD)患者的生存质量及其与应对方式和社会支持的相关性.方法应用中文IBD问卷(IBDQ)、简明健康调查问卷(SF-36)、简易应对方式问卷、社会支持评定量表对71例IBD患者(IBD组)进行调查,并与103名正常人(对照组)进行比较.结果IBD患者SF-36及各维度评分显著低于对照组(均P＜0.01),积极应对评分亦显著低于对照组(P＜0.01).IBD患者的积极应对和社会支持与其生存质量呈正相关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),消极应对与生存质量呈负相关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).结论IBD患者的生存质量水平较低,良好的应对方式和社会支持能提高其生存质量.

Does Supplementary Prenatal Nursing and Home Visitation Support Improve Resource Use in a Universal Health Care System? A Randomized Controlled Trial in Canada

ABSTRACT: Background: The addition of supplementary prenatal support may improve the health and well‐being of high‐risk women and families. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the impact of supplementary prenatal care on resource use among a community‐based population of pregnant women. Methods: Pregnant women from three urban maternity clinics were randomized (a) to current standard of physician care, (b) to current standard of care plus consultation with a nurse, or (c) to (b) plus consultation with a home visitor. Participants were 1,352 women who received 3 telephone interviews. The primary outcome was resource use (e.g., attended prenatal classes, used nutritional counseling). Results: Overall, those in the nurse intervention group were more likely to attend an “Early Bird” prenatal class and parenting classes, and to use nutrition counseling and agencies that assist with child care. Women provided with extra nursing and home visitation supports were more likely to use a written resource guide, nutrition counseling, and agencies that assist with child care. Among women at higher risk (e.g., language barriers, young maternal age, low income), the nurse intervention significantly increased use of early prenatal classes, whereas the nurse and home visitor intervention significantly increased use of the written resource guide and nutrition counseling. The intervention substantially increased the amount of information received on numerous pregnancy‐related topics but had little impact on resource use for mental health and poverty‐related needs. Among those with added support, resource use among low‐risk women was generally greater than among high‐risk women. Conclusions: Additional support provided by nurses, or nurses and home visitors, can successfully address informational needs and increase the likelihood that women will use existing community‐based resources. This finding was true even for high‐risk women, although this intervention did not reduce the difference in resource use between high‐ and low‐risk women. (BIRTH 33:3 September 2006)

Experiences and learning during a graduate nurse program: an examination using a focus group approach

The graduate nurse year requires individuals to make a huge transition from university student to registered nurse as part of the health care workforce. New graduates experience steep learning curves throughout the first year of professional practice. This study sought to explore experiences and learning occurring throughout the graduate nurse program for a group of seven new nurse graduates. Focus group interviews were conducted at six months and 12 months into the program using the same set of guiding questions. The first interview highlighted that graduates early in the graduate year were internalised, concentrating on their own survival in managing workloads, facing practice realities and coming to terms with themselves as nurses. Learning was primarily about survival strategies and performing tasks. By the second interview, graduates were much less focussed on themselves. They understood their place in the health care team, had gained confidence in their relationships, and were showing concern for the next graduates arriving. Learning at this stage involved more higher order skills, including critical thinking.     

The implications of Project 2000 and the formation of links with higher education for the professional and academic needs of nurse teachers in the United Kingdom

A national study was conducted between 1991 and 1994 to explore and describe the changing role of the nurse teacher following the introduction of Project 2000 pre-registration nursing courses. Multiple methods were used to collect data from a wide variety of respondents (nurse teachers, midwife teachers, clinical nurses, health service managers and higher education lecturers). This paper presents the findings relating to the impact of Project 2000 and the move into higher education on the continuing educational needs of nurse teachers. Views on college strategies for staff development, the changing nature of teachers'academic and professional development needs and the problems of the conflicting demands experienced are reported. The research highlights the need for clinical credibility to be clearly defined in relation to nurse teachers and for educational institutions to place more emphasis on teachers'clinical development if the rhetoric of policy is to become a reality.
