“…The most established APN roles are found in high income countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia 25 . In the last decade there has been further expansion of APN roles, especially in high income countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East 29 - 32 . There are few reports of APN role development in low and middle income countries.…”

Objective:to examine advanced practice nursing (APN) roles internationally to inform role development in Latin America and the Caribbean to support universal health coverage and universal access to health. Method:we examined literature related to APN roles, their global deployment, and APN effectiveness in relation to universal health coverage and access to health. Results:given evidence of their effectiveness in many countries, APN roles are ideally suited as part of a primary health care workforce strategy in Latin America to enhance universal health coverage and access to health. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico are well positioned to build this workforce. Role implementation barriers include lack of role clarity, legislation/regulation, education, funding, and physician resistance. Strong nursing leadership to align APN roles with policy priorities, and to work in partnership with primary care providers and policy makers is needed for successful role implementation. Conclusions:given the diversity of contexts across nations, it is important to systematically assess country and population health needs to introduce the most appropriate complement and mix of APN roles and inform implementation. Successful APN role introduction in Latin America and the Caribbean could provide a roadmap for similar roles in other low/middle income countries.

Through a rigorous research process, validated clinical nurse specialist competency criteria were formed with a high Scale Content Validity Index Average. The results allude to the potential of formulating international competency criteria to support global role clarity and understanding. However, further research is needed to validate the content and construct of the formulated competencies with a larger population across countries.

“…The method has been used extensively in nursing research and it is still being used today. A review of the nursing literature finds that the Delphi technique is commonly utilized in determining health care and research priorities (Blackwood et al., ; Hauck et al., ; Spies et al., ), determining the nursing curriculum (Mitchell, ), developing measuring instruments (Cadorin et al., ; Cheng et al., ; Jacob et al., ), specifying the different fields of expertise in nursing and identifying competencies and roles (Jokiniemi et al., ; Witt & Almeida, ; WHO, ), identifying problems related to the health care system and health care (Roth et al., ), and determining standards (Gill et al., ).…”

Objective The aim of this study was to construct a consensus on the undergraduate learning objectives and topics for public health nursing (PHN) in Turkey. Design A three‐round e‐mail‐based Delphi study was conducted between May and July 2015 with a national sample. Sample Ninety‐one academics from 54 universities were invited as experts to participate by e‐mail. Fifty‐nine academics from 43 universities participated in the study. Measurements Data were analyzed by computing the median, quartiles one and three, and the interquartile range for each learning outcome and topic. Consensus was considered as less than the interquartile range of 1.2. Results Experts who participated in the study added 70 learning outcomes, eight main topics, and 278 sub‐topics during the first round. Round I generated 170 learning outcomes, 28 main topics, and 385 sub‐topics. At the end of Round II, consensus was reached on 126 learning outcomes, 22 main topics and 168 sub‐topics. At the end of Round III, consensus was achieved for 126 learning outcomes, 22 main topics, and 169 sub‐topics. Conclusion The learning outcomes and topics that were decided upon through a consensus process will contribute to the standardization and development of PHN education.
