Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

Surgical Workforce Analysis
Public Health Trends
Healthcare Demographics

Background:

The composition of the surgical workforce is crucial for healthcare delivery.
Understanding demographic and geographic shifts in surgical specialties is essential for planning.
North Carolina experienced significant population changes during the study period.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze changes in the number and characteristics of general surgeons in North Carolina from 1997 to 2008.
To compare the demographic, geographic, and specialty shifts of general surgeons with population changes in North Carolina.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of surgeon data.
Comparison of surgeon demographics, geography, and specialty distribution.
Statistical analysis to compare surgeon trends with population trends.

Main Results:

The number of general surgeons in North Carolina increased between 1997 and 2008.
Significant demographic, geographic, and specialty shifts were observed among general surgeons.
The growth and shifts in the general surgeon population did not mirror the changes in North Carolina's general population.

Conclusions:

While the general surgeon workforce in North Carolina expanded and evolved, its growth trajectory and shifts lagged behind the state's population changes.
These findings highlight potential disparities in surgical workforce adaptation to population needs.
Further research is needed to understand the implications for surgical care access and planning.
