This study reveals that nursing roles in clinical laboratory sample collection lack specificity and autonomy. Nursing staff often perform technical tasks with limited defined responsibilities within the organizational structure.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice
  • Clinical Laboratory Science

Context:

  • Examines the integration and functional roles of nursing personnel within clinical laboratory sample collection services.
  • Investigates the organizational structure and human resource allocation in laboratory settings.
  • Draws upon theoretical frameworks of work processes and health/nursing human resources.

Purpose:

  • To delineate the specific activities and responsibilities undertaken by nursing teams in clinical laboratory sample collection.
  • To identify the positioning of nursing roles within the broader organizational hierarchy of clinical laboratories.
  • To analyze the division of labor and autonomy among nursing staff and other health professionals in this setting.

Summary:

  • A mixed-methods study surveyed 45 institutions, finding nursing auxiliaries (77.8%), practical nurses (13%), and nurses (33.3%) involved in sample collection.

    • Highlights a significant lack of role specificity and professional autonomy for nursing staff in clinical laboratory environments.
    • Suggests a need for clearer role definition and integration strategies to enhance nursing contributions in laboratory services.
    • Provides data for improving healthcare workforce management and optimizing nursing practice in diagnostic settings.
