Fong, B., Woo, Y., Lee, J., X., & Tam, W., W. (2017). The impact of the advanced practice nursing role on quality of care, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost in the emergency and critical care settings: A systematic review. Human Resources Health, 15(1), 9. |
Evaluate the impact of increasing the autonomy of nurses assuming advanced practice roles in emergency and critical care settings on patient outcomes.
|
What is the best available evidence on the impact of advanced practice nursing on quality of care, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost in emergency and critical care settings?
|
Method = Systematic Review - Level 1 |
Electronic database review of journals from 2006-2016/15 |
The involvement of nurses in advanced practice in emergency and critical care improves the length of stay, time to consultation/treatment, mortality, patient satisfaction, and cost savings.
|
The transformation of healthcare delivery through effective utilization of the workforce may alleviate the impending rise in demand for health services. Nevertheless, it is necessary to first prepare a receptive context to effect sustainable change. |

Prem, V., Karvannan, H., Karthibabu, S., Syed, N., & Sisodia, V. (2014). Study of nurses’ knowledge about Palliative Care: A Quantitative Cross-Sectional Survey. Indian Journal of Palliative Care, 18(2), 122-127. |
Assess the knowledge about palliative care amongst nursing professionals using the palliative care knowledge test (PCKT).
|
Using a Palliative care knowledge test, what is the level of knowledge of nurses who provide palliative care? |
Method Quantitative Cross-Sectional Level 3 |
Palliative Care Nurses/363 |
Overall level of knowledge about palliative care was poor, and nurses had a greater knowledge about psychiatric problems and philosophy than the other aspects indicated in PCKT
|
Future studies could focus on different ways of knowing, and the methods of knowledge constructions, the inter-relationship with practice and research, and the influence of evidence-base, and cultural competence in evidence-based palliative care nursing |

Explore nurses’ perceptions and experiences of patient involvement relevant to patient safety.
|
What are nurses’ perceptions and experiences of patient involvement related to patient safety? |
Method = Qualitative Level 6 |
RNs/11 |
According to the nurses, involvement can be hindered by factors related to the patient, the healthcare provider and the healthcare system. However, respondents expressed that patient involvement can lead to safer care and benefits for individual patients.
|
More studies with larger sample. Ensure future research includes a standard example of patient safety |
