Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in nursing are a response to the challenges of changing healthcare systems, the demographic situation of society, and the further development of the role of a nurse. Nursing is an independent profession, and a nurse's professional competences are constantly being expanded.

The main purpose of this Special Issue is to present scientific evidence of advances in nursing care and medical education in the context of healthcare. We desire papers exploring advanced nursing care, conceptual foundations for the development of education programs in this field, and examples of innovative teaching strategies as well as methods aiming at the development of nurses’ competences to provide an effective quality of nursing care. All levels of nursing education and all areas of healthcare systems may be considered.

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) invites papers addressing these topics, including those with new approaches to developing interventions that target the enhancement of healthcare in patients with multiple comorbidities.

Research may be quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, or reviews that meet established review standards, and the data may be from primary or secondary sources.

Dr. Jolanta Lewko
Guest Editor

The level of nurse–doctor interprofessional collaboration may influence patient outcomes, including mortality. To date, no systematic reviews have investigated the association between the quantity of nurse–doctor interprofessional collaboration and inpatient mortality. A systematic review was conducted. We included studies that measured the quantity of nurse–doctor interprofessional collaboration and in-patient mortality. Five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Register) were searched. Two researchers undertook the title, abstract, and full-text screening. The risk of bias was determined using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) critical appraisal tool. Six reports from three observational studies met the inclusion criteria. Participants included 1.32 million patients, 29,591 nurses, and 191 doctors. The included studies had a high risk of bias. Of the three studies, one reported a significant association and one found no association between the quantity of nurse–doctor collaboration and mortality. The third study reported on the quantity of nurse–doctor collaboration but did not report the test of this association. We found no high-quality evidence to suggest the amount of nurse–doctor interprofessional collaboration was associated with mortality in medical and surgical inpatients. There is a need for further high-quality research to evaluate the association between the amount of nurse–doctor collaboration and patient outcomes. Full article
