Advanced practice nurses navigate role transitions in primary care. A new theory explains how they center identity, focus, enact, and shape their evolving roles for better patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Nursing Practice
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Advanced practice nurses play a vital role in delivering high-quality patient care.
  • Government policy emphasizes the importance of evolving nursing roles in healthcare.
  • Understanding role transition is crucial for healthcare professionals adapting to new responsibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and understand the process of role transition experienced by nurses in advanced practice roles.
  • To develop a generalizable framework for role transition applicable to various healthcare professions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving eleven advanced practice nurses across district nurse centers and community NHS trusts.
  • Data collection through participant/non-participant observation, job description analysis, and semi-structured interviews/focus groups.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative analysis of data to identify and saturate core themes, with validation from participants and managers.

    • Main Results:

    • A four-concept theory of role transition was developed: centring identity, focusing roles, enacting roles, and shaping roles.
    • Participants viewed identity as encompassing the role, the individual, and group affiliation.
    • Role enactment was influenced by current/anticipated foci, context, and resources, with role shaping involving balancing loss and expansion.

    Conclusions:

    • Presents a novel theory of role transition specifically for primary care professionals.
    • The proposed model offers insights into the dynamic processes of adapting to new or changing professional roles.
