Tiivistelmä
Background: Advanced practice nursing roles were established to fill the gap created by the shortage of general practitioners, and to improve access to healthcare services. However, incorporating the APN role into the healthcare system presents significant challenges.
Aim: To identify the challenges to the advanced practice nursing role implementation in the Nordic healthcare environment.
Method: A scoping review of the literature was conducted using the 2020 JBI guidance. A search of the literature was performed in electronic databases, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, PubMed, MEDLINE, ProQuest Dissertation, and Theses, from January 23 to February 21, 2023, and updated in January 2024. 70 articles were retrieved, 37 full-text articles selected 10 articles, and one grey literature a total of eleven research articles were included in the study, and data was extracted and analyzed.
Results: The seven main challenges noted were 1) team-specific challenges, 2) organizational-specific challenges, 3) advanced practitioner-level challenges, 4) health-specific challenges, 5) educational-specific challenges, 6) regulatory considerations, and 7) economic-specific challenges.
Conclusions: To ensure the successful incorporation of the advanced practice nursing role within the Nordic healthcare system, it is important to recognize and address the challenges obstructing advancement. Important measures to consider include role clarity, job descriptions, and engaging stakeholders throughout the implementation process.
