Primary Health Care Nurses

Cardiovascular (CVD) disease is the leading cause of death and hospitalisation in New Zealand, with major disparities between ethnic groups. Implementing the New Zealand Guidelines on the assessment and management of cardiovascular (CVD) risk is urgent and requires a range of activities from social marketing, community development and health promotion through to clinical care. Clarification of a population health approach and how primary health care nurses can integrate both personal and public health activities is important to the implementation of the CVD risk guidelines. This paper reports on an innovative project where primary health care nurses have a key role in integration of public and personal health and improving management of chronic conditions.

Role Confusion

Limited knowledge about the nursing workforce in New Zealand general practice inhibits the optimal use of nurses in this increasingly complex setting. Using workforce survey data published biennially by the Nursing Council of New Zealand, this study describes the characteristics of nurses in general practice and contrasts them with the greater nursing workforce, including consideration of changes in the profiles between 2015 and 2019. The findings suggest the general practice nursing workforce is older, less diverse, more predominately New Zealand trained and very much more likely to work part-time than other nurses. There is evidence that nurses in general practice are increasingly primary health care focused, as they take on expanded roles and responsibilities. However, ambiguity about terminology and the inability to track individuals in the data are limitations of this study. Therefore, it was not possible to identify and describe cohorts of nurses in general practice by important characteristics, such as prescribing authority, regionality and rurality. A greater national focus on defining and tracking this pivotal workforce is called for to overcome role confusion and better facilitate the use of nursing scopes of practice.

Traditional Roles

This article focuses on the importance of primary health care nurses’ involvement in the identification of children with severe disabilities, early and appropriate intervention that includes referral, as well as the provision of support to the children’s caregivers. The use of multiskilling as a strategy to train nurses to fulfil this role is described. The traditional roles of community nurses are explored within the disability paradigm, with specific reference to multi-skilling. Finally, research results following the implementation of the Beginning Communication Intervention Protocol (BCIP), which uses multiskilling as a training strategy, are described. Recommendations for further research are then provided.
