Description

The purpose of this study was to describe the current status and problems of advanced nursing practice relating to education systems in the home care setting in Korea and to examine advanced practice nursing in Japan. We interviewed key persons of a training institution, of a hospital providing advanced nursing services and of the Korean Nurses Association in March 2010. We found that the regal standardization of the role was necessary to enhance activities of advanced practice nurses in home care settings. An expanded nurse role requires cooperation with the general practitioners and the staffs of nursing homes or of home health care services in Japan. It is recommended that the relative efficacy and the safety of advanced nursing practice should be examined under existing law. It is necessary to address changing nursing roles and to make known to everybody that they lead to patient-centered care.
