The role of the clinical nurse specialist in tissue viability
Abstract:
The development of tissue viability clinical nurse specialists in the UK has occurred rapidly and haphazardly over the last decade. Lack of role definition has created ambiguity and additional demands which are not so apparent within more established specialist nurse roles. Many specialist nurses in tissue viability are currently practising without adequate supervision frameworks which may compromise both personal and professional role satisfaction. Evaluation of the specific contribution of tissue viability specialist nurses is problematic for a variety of reasons. These, together with the identification of those factors thought to contribute to role conflict, will be discussed.
