Summary

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are increasingly common, creating new roles for wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) nurses. Education must adapt to prepare APNs for specialized WOC care and integrate essential WOC content into primary care training.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Practice
  • Advanced Practice Nursing

Background:

  • The growing presence of advanced practice nurses (APNs) across healthcare settings presents evolving opportunities and challenges for wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) nursing.
  • WOC nurses are transitioning into APN roles, while non-specialist APNs are increasingly managing primary care for patients with wounds, ostomies, and incontinence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the educational needs for preparing APNs in specialized wound, ostomy, and/or continence (WOC) care.
  • To explore strategies for integrating essential WOC nursing content into the core curriculum for APNs providing primary care.

Main Methods:

  • This article reviews current trends in APN practice and WOC nursing.
  • It identifies gaps in existing educational frameworks for WOC specialty training and primary care APN curricula.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Potential educational strategies are explored to meet these identified needs.

    • Main Results:

    • The increasing scope of APN practice necessitates new educational approaches for WOC nursing.
    • There is a clear need to equip APNs with specialized knowledge for wound, ostomy, and continence care.
    • Incorporating foundational WOC content into general APN primary care education is crucial.

    Conclusions:

    • Educational strategies must be developed to prepare APNs for specialized WOC practice.
    • Core WOC nursing content should be integrated into APN primary care curricula.
    • Adapting nursing education is vital to meet the demands of evolving APN roles in WOC care.
