“…This study's findings highlight the importance of family involvement, therapy integration/carryover, integrating their work and assuming the role of co-ordinator and patient educator to enhance the older person's confidence and promote independence. These findings mirror those of Kirkevold (1997), Burton (2000), O'Connor (2000), RCN (2000), Long et al (2002), Davidson et al (2005) and Barreca and Wilkins (2008), although different terms are applied. While the RCN (2000) Again, while different terminology is used this framework fosters the concepts of previous studies, except perhaps in relation to clinical governance which has been an addition.…”

“…However, there is evidence that the contribution of nurses to the process has not always been valued nor nurses regarded as an equal member of the team (Long et al 2002, Kirkevold 2010. Furthermore, older adults do not associate nurses with a rehabilitative role, but rather expect nurses to assist and support them in their daily care (Long et al 2002).…”

“…Furthermore, older adults do not associate nurses with a rehabilitative role, but rather expect nurses to assist and support them in their daily care (Long et al 2002). While various descriptions of the role of nurses in rehabilitation of the older person can be found in the literature and acknowledging that nurses play an integral part in the rehabilitation process (RCN 2007, Barreca and Wilkins 2008, Clarke 2010, no study has been undertaken to explore nurses' perceptions of their role in rehabilitation of the older person in the Irish context.…”

“…In essence, they could act as the 'glue' for other health care professionals. Members of the multidisciplinary team have been found to be dependent on nursing colleagues to incorporate treatment plans into activities throughout the day, whilst also being able to provide feedback on progress (Long et al, 2002).…”

This article reports on selected findings from an action research study that looked at the lessons learnt from setting up a new in-patient stroke service in a London teaching hospital. Key participants in the design and evaluation of this 2-year study included members of the multi-professional stroke team and support staff within the unit, the hospital management team and representatives of patients and carers. Mixed methods (focus groups, indepth interviews, audits, documentary analysis, participant observation field notes) were used to generate data. Findings demonstrated positive change overtime with four main themes emerging from the process: building a team; developing practice-based knowledge and skills in stroke; valuing the central role of the nurse in stroke care; and creating an organisational climate for supporting change. The interplay of these non-linear, but interrelated factors is supported by complexity theory, which includes exploration of how the sum of a whole can be more than its constituent parts. Findings are likely to be of interest to practitioners, managers and policy makers interested in supporting change in a learning organisation.

“…[8] In multi-professional teams, nurses' duties are assessment, co-ordination and communication, technical and physical care, therapy interaction and carry on, emotional support and involving the family. [10] There are only a limited number of studies available concerning nurses' educational needs in the care of patients with RA. Fletcher et al [11] found that practice nurses do not feel confident or competent in their knowledge and ability to manage musculoskeletal conditions, however an overall willingness among nurse practitioners to develop their role has been identified.…”

Objective: This study looks to describe the kind of education needed by nurses taking care of patients with Rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: Survey data concerning nurses' educational needs was collected from 11 hospitals with 33 units in two of the biggest hospital districts in Finland. The data was analyzed using thematic and summative content analysis. Results: The educational needs of nurses concerned medicinal treatment as an entirety, multiform information about RA, multiform treatment processes of RA, specified questions of care of RA patients, RA as a part of the everyday life of the RA patient and his/her family, the emotional nursing of the RA patient and his/her loved ones, and the strengthening of nurses' abilities to encounter patients. Education needs concerning medical issues comprised 76% of the responses. Needs connected to special questions of care covered 15%, and needs connected to emotional nursing, the patients' everyday life and to encounters with RA patients and their loved ones comprised 9%. Conclusions: Nurses wanted to strengthen their information base in all areas, especially those which were medically related. Educational needs concerning other professionals' areas of knowledge (e.g., physiotherapist) might indicate that nurses want to offer all-encompassing care to their patients.
