Area of Science:

Healthcare Research
Nursing Practice
Professional Development

Background:

Knowledge development is crucial for professional practice and service delivery.
Understanding the specific roles within a practice context is essential.
The nurse practitioner (NP) role requires clear definition and support.

Purpose of the Study:

To present findings from case study research on the NP role.
To propose an enhancement to the AUSPRAC Research Toolkit Interview Schedule.
To explore the professional elements of the NP role in an Australian healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

Case study methodology was employed.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted using the AUSPRAC Research Toolkit Interview Schedule.
Data analysis involved free coding and theme generation.

Main Results:

The AUSPRAC Research Toolkit Interview Schedule provided insights into the NP role.
Identified themes included organization of care, team functioning, and patient service.
Information regarding ongoing professional development was not elicited by the existing themes.

Conclusions:

The current AUSPRAC Research Toolkit Interview Schedule effectively captures certain aspects of the NP role.
A gap exists in exploring the professional development and elements of the NP role.
An additional theme is recommended for the Interview Schedule to address this gap.
