Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Advanced Practice Nursing

Background:

  • Specialized and advanced nursing roles are integral to modern healthcare systems.
  • Understanding the unique contributions of different advanced nursing roles is crucial for optimizing healthcare delivery.
  • Previous research has not fully delineated the practice patterns across various specialized nursing roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate the practice patterns of nurses in specialized and advanced roles.
  • To compare the time spent in five domains of advanced practice across different nursing groups.
  • To identify factors influencing domain involvement in advanced nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving Canadian nurses.
  • Self-report questionnaires were administered from June to September 2017.
  • Demographic data and time allocation across five advanced practice domains were analyzed using regression analysis for specialized nurses (SNs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and nurse practitioners (NPs).

Main Results:

  • A total of 1,107 nurses participated, representing all Canadian provinces/territories.
  • Nurses across all groups dedicated the most time to direct comprehensive care and the least to research.
  • Nurse practitioners (NPs) showed higher involvement in direct comprehensive care compared to CNSs and SNs (p < 0.001).
  • Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) demonstrated greater involvement than SNs and NPs in systems support, education, research, and professional leadership (p < 0.001).
  • Role type, years as an advanced practice nurse, and specialist certification were identified as modest predictors of domain involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct practice patterns exist among specialized and advanced nursing roles in Canada.
  • Nurse practitioners primarily engage in direct patient care, while clinical nurse specialists focus on broader system-level activities.
  • Differentiating these roles can inform healthcare policies for their optimal utilization and support within healthcare systems.
