Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • The named nurse concept, influenced by primary nursing, was adopted by the British government.
  • Primary nursing was proposed to enhance job satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, and quality of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the influences and issues surrounding the implementation of the named nurse concept.
  • To evaluate the validity of extrapolating findings from primary nursing to named nursing.
  • To analyze advocacy, accountability, and professionalization within named nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of existing research on primary and named nursing.
  • Examination of government policy drivers for named nursing implementation.

Main Results:

  • Concerns exist regarding the reliability and validity of research supporting primary nursing's benefits.
  • Direct extrapolation of primary nursing benefits to named nursing is questionable.
  • Named nursing may prioritize nursing professionalization over direct patient benefit.

Conclusions:

  • The evidence base for named nursing, extrapolated from primary nursing, requires critical re-evaluation.
  • Issues of advocacy and accountability in named nursing need further investigation.
  • The prioritization of nursing professionalization warrants a reconsideration of the fundamental aims of nursing care.
