Objective.To examine the role of the registered nurse in remote and isolated areas of Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia; and to illustrate the impact of the burden of disease on nursing practice. Data sources.A literature search was undertaken using electronic databases and the grey literature (including policy documents, project reports and position descriptions). Data synthesis.The role of the nurse in remote areas is diverse, and varies according to the context of practice. Although some states and territories offer formal programs to prepare nurses for the role, it is unclear whether this is routinely provided. The burden of disease is higher in remote Australia, and although nurses work to reduce the burden, the need to provide primary care can be at the expense of primary health care. Conclusions.Whilst the nature of nursing practice is influenced by many factors, considerable agreement exists between states and territories around the role of the registered nurses in remote and isolated communities. The higher burden of disease in remote and isolated areas of Australia impacts on nursing practice, and nurses are uniquely placed to assist in reducing the burden of disease. Greater agreement around what constitutes ‘remote’ is needed. What is known about the topic?Many papers have reported on the difficulties encountered by registered nurses in remote and isolated practice; however, there is a dearth of information describing the role of registered nurses in remote or isolated Australian communities. What does this paper add?This review describes the diverse role of nurses and their role in addressing the burden of disease in remote and isolated Australia. Comparison between states and territories highlights differences in preparation for the role. What are the implications for practitioners?National agreement is needed around preparation for practice, conditions of work, and what constitutes ‘remote’. Greater utilisation of the nursing workforce in remote and isolated areas would assist in addressing the burden of disease.

Educating Nurses

This column concerns itself with the issue of research and the doctor of nursing practice. The reports of the Institute of Medicine about patient safety, quality in healthcare, and the restructuring of education of healthcare providers are reviewed. The reasons for the creation of the doctor of nursing practice are illuminated along with the essentials of educating nurses for the role and the position statement on nursing research by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Finally, the impact that those with a doctor of nursing practice who conduct nursing research may have on the discipline of nursing is considered.

The Impact

Transformational leadership is a trending style and competency that has been embraced by many industries and nursing practice settings. Similar positive influence on follower engagement, teamwork, and solidarity might be experienced if transformational leadership is employed by administration and faculty as a guiding framework for nursing education. The impact of embedding a teamwork culture in basic nursing education could be significant on students and ultimately on the nursing profession. Further research is needed to develop and test application of the transformational leadership framework in nursing education.

Abstract Background Along with growth and development of health information technology (HIT), nursing informatics (NI) is becoming a fundamental part of all domains of nursing practice especially in critical care settings. Nurses at different levels of the nursing continuum are expected to equip with NI competency for providing patient-centered evidence-based care. Therefore, improvement of the nurses’ NI competency through educational programs is important and necessary for effective using of HIT. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a training program on NI competency of critical care nurses. Methods In this interventional study, 60 nurses working in critical care units at hospitals affiliated with a large University of Medical Sciences in the southeast of Iran were randomly and equally assigned to the control and intervention groups. NI competency was trained to the intervention group in a three-day workshop. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire and Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment Tool (NICAT) before and one month after the intervention. Results In the pretest stage, both intervention and control groups were at the “competent” level in terms of the NI competency, and no significant difference was observed between them ( p =0.65). However, in the posttest, the NI competency and its dimensions significantly increased in the intervention group with a large effect size compared with the control group ( p = 0.001). This difference showed that the intervention group achieved the “proficient” level in posttest stage. Conclusions The improved scores of NI competency and its dimensions after using the training program implied the effectiveness of this method in enhancing the NI competency of nurses working in the critical care units. The higher efficiency of the training program can be determined by its application in diverse domains of nursing practice. The project is a fundamental for improving nurses’ NI competency through continuous educational programs in Iran, other cultures and contexts.
