A quarter of a century ago Mr Harold MacMillan delivered his famous Winds o f Change speech in Cape Town. In 1975 Dr. Wolff Bodenstein, in delivering a paper on primary health care, referred to the storms o f change. Now, a decade later, John Naisbitt speaks of megatrends when elaborating on change on a worldwide scale from an industrial society to an informational society. Alvin Toffler’s widely read The Third Wave speaks of similar trends on a scale comparable to the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution.

ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the knowledge and practices of the Primary Health Care nurse on sarcopenia screening in the elderly. Methods: Qualitative study conducted with 24 Primary Health Care nurses. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, recorded and later transcribed. The speeches were grouped in thematic categories, later analyzed, supported by Paulo Freire’s reference. Results: The findings showed that the primary care nurses’ knowledge of sarcopenia screening in the elderly was incipient and fragile. This reality is reflected in a gap in practice, although some instruments already require the registration of characteristics indicative of sarcopenia, such as the evaluation of the calf circumference. Final Considerations: The need to train nurses to perform sarcopenia screening and to implement a promotional and preventive care plan, which will result in improving the quality of life of the elderly assisted in Primary Care, was highlighted.

Background Primary health care nurse practitioners (PHCNPs) can play a key role in chronic disease management. However, little is known about the challenges they face. Purpose The study aimed to describe PHCNPs’ perspectives on their role for patients with chronic health conditions, the barriers they face, and facilitating factors. Methods A qualitative descriptive exploratory study was conducted with 24 PHCNPs in the Canadian province of Quebec. Results PHCNPs believe that they are in an optimal position to address the needs of patients with chronic health conditions, especially in providing self-management support. However, PHCNPs reported feeling pressured to practice according to a biomedical model and to constantly defend their role in chronic disease management. They feel that they are frequently being diverted from their role to compensate for the lack of family doctors. PHCNPs made concrete recommendations to optimize their autonomous practice and quality of care: promoting strong interprofessional communication skills, genuine mentoring relationships between PHCNPs and partner physicians, managers upholding the full scope of PHCNPs’ practice, and a more flexible legislative framework. Conclusions The original conception of PHCNPs as health professionals with unique characteristics is at stake. The factors that should be targeted to support the autonomy of PHCNPs were identified.
