Sammanfattning
The aim of this article is to provide
an overview of the development of
expert nurse education at the Swedish
Polytechnic (SYH) in Finland.
The education is comparable to the
international Nurse Practitioner
education.
SYH has received project funding
from the Ministry of Education in
order to develop the expert nursing
role in Ostrobothnia. A steering
group was formed in order to discuss
and develop the role of the
expert nurse, as well as the contents
of the education programme.
During 2004, national research
and education curricula have been
outlined within the project framework.
Regional outlines concerning
the demand and role of expert
nurses have also been made. The
regional outline comprised one
questionnaire (n=42) aimed at
head nurses and doctors as well as
nine focus group interviews with
specialised nurses (n=46). The
results of the outlines reveal that
there is a demand within nursing
organisations for expert nurses
within many areas, particularly
within acute health issues as well
as within the treatment and followup
of chronic diseases. The active
engagement and co-operation of
the steering group, within the Thematic
European Nursing Network,
have made it possible to develop
and initiate a specialised education
for expert nurses.
