“…NAs reported discontentment with administrators' not understanding their work problems, 23 and the performance of NAs also was influenced by relationships among NAs, RNs and other clinical staff. 24 Various definitions, duties and unbalanced development of NAs worldwide 25 26 have created barriers to identifying appropriate management strategies. In the USA, NAs are also named certified NAs (CNAs) and unlicensed assistive personnel and the names were nurse/nursing aides (NAs), healthcare assistants (HCAs) and nursing auxiliaries in the UK.…”

ObjectivesThe administration of nursing assistants (NAs) is closely associated with patient outcomes, but studies evaluating intrahospital administration of NAs are limited. This study aimed to identify existing literature on intrahospital NAs’ administration approaches.DesignScoping review.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, ProQuest, CNKI, APA PsycInfo, Wanfang Med, SinoMed, Ovid Emcare, NICE, AHRQ, CADTH, JBI EBP and Cochrane DSR were searched for articles published between January 2011 and March 2022.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesQualitative, quantitative or mixed-method studies and evidence syntheses that evaluate administration approaches, models and appraisal tools of intrahospital NAs were included.Data extraction and synthesisTwo independent reviewers conducted search, data selection and data extraction according to Joanna Briggs Institute guidance and methodology for scoping review. The quality of included studies was assessed using Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool or AMSTAR V.2. Data were synthesised using narrative methods and frequency effect size analysis.ResultsThirty-six studies were eligible, with acceptable quality. We identified 1 administration model, 9 administration methods, 15 educational programmes and 7 appraisal tools from the included studies. The frequency effect size analysis yielded 15 topics of the main focus at four levels, suggesting that included articles were mainly (33%) focused on the competency of NAs, and the lectures were the most (80%) used strategy in quality improvement projects. Evidence from the studies was of low-to-moderate quality, indicating huge gaps between evidence-based research and management practice.ConclusionsPractical intrahospital administration approaches were revealed, and fifteen primarily focused topics were identified. We should explore this area more thoroughly using structured frameworks and standardised methodology. This scoping review will help managers find more effective ways to improve the quality of care. Researchers may focus more on evidence-based practice in NA administration using the 15 topics as a breakthrough.

This column describes a quasi-experimental trial that examined the effects of an intervention in which both nurses and nursing assistants shared their perceptions of the nursing assistant role on the frequency of information-sharing behaviors. In the intervention group, the frequency of nurses' linguistic responses in the intervention group increased in the nursing assistants' evaluations. The frequency of nursing assistants' linguistic response and feedback in the intervention group increased in self-evaluation and nurses' evaluation, respectively.

With increasing demands for unlicensed assistive personnel, strategies for optimizing recruitment and retention are paramount. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase the recruitment and retention of unlicensed assistive personnel in a nonprofit healthcare organization. Initiatives included expanding academic affiliations enhancing pipeline, developing a tailored onboarding program, and introducing a clinical ladder. Results indicate increases in numbers of academic affiliations and hiring, with unlicensed assistive personnel turnover rates below national averages.
