Abstract:
Objective:To explore the role expectations of stroke advanced practice nurses from multiple perspectives based on the framework of role theory, so as to provide clinical insights for the development of advanced practice nurse roles and the cultivation of core competencies in China.Methods:A phenomenological approach in qualitative research was used. The staffs and trainees, patients and family members in an advanced stroke center in Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University in January to February 2023 were selected by purposive sampling method. Participants included stroke specialist nurses, stroke ward physicians and nurses, stroke green channel physicians, stroke ward managers, patients, and family members, totaling seven categories. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the content was analyzed using Colaizzi ′s seven-step analysis method. Results:Finally, 28 interviewees were included. There were 9 males and 19 females, aged 29-67 years old. The role expectations for stroke advanced practice nurses were mainly focused on 4 categories:quality expectations (having leadership and execution skills), image expectations(education organizers, innovation promoters, supervisory feedback providers, and other image), obligation expectations (prescription issuance and establishment of outpatient clinics), behavior expectations (evaluation and decision-making, execution and coordination).Conclusions:Stroke advanced practice nurses were assigned multiple role expectations in actual clinical practice, and the promotion of stroke advanced practice nurses is of great relevance in promoting the quality of health care and expanding the scope of nursing practice.
