Establishing research priorities for emergency nursing in Australia is crucial for improving patient safety and care quality. Key areas include patient deterioration, access block, overcrowding, and scope of practice for specialist nurses.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Nursing
- Healthcare Research
- Clinical Practice
Background:
- Providing safe, high-quality emergency nursing care faces contemporary challenges.
- Research priorities for emergency nursing in Australia were previously unknown.
- This study aimed to identify and establish these priorities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the critical research priorities for emergency nursing practice in Australia.
- To guide future research endeavors in the field.
- To enhance the quality and safety of emergency care.
Main Methods:
- A two-stage descriptive and exploratory study design.
- Survey of 232 emergency nurses to identify research themes.
- Delphi Technique (two rounds) for ranking and prioritizing themes.
Main Results:
- Five key research themes emerged with high consensus (CVI≥0.90).
- These themes include patient deterioration, access block effects, overcrowding impacts, and specialist nurse scope of practice.
- Four broad priority areas identified: professional issues, patient safety, vulnerable populations, and healthcare systems.
Conclusions:
- Future research should concentrate on the identified priority areas.
- Collaboration with other emergency disciplines is essential for progress.
- Findings will inform and improve emergency nursing practice in Australia.
