Abstract |
This paper details the workforce capacity of youth health nursing and medical staffing required for community-based and school-based youth health services. The author shows how youth health services seek to complement the care delivered by Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) and other allied health care services in the community. She outlines the development and operation at VIBE, a community-based youth health service in the Hutt Valley with school-based youth health services delivered at four low deciles secondary schools. She explains that developing workforce capacity for youth health services is a primary health care priority and an important means to address inequalities and to improve the health services of young people. |

Abstract |
This study explores perceptions of general practitioners in the Northland District Health Board (NDHB) regarding the nurse practitioner role, identifying their knowledge of and perceived problems with that role, and their experience of nurses in advanced practice. A purposive sample of all 108 general practitioners in NDHB was undertaken, with a response rate of 46.3%. General practitioners favourably viewed nurse practitioner functions traditionally associated with nursing, such as health teaching, home visiting, obtaining health histories, and taking part in evaluation of care, but less favourably viewed those functions associated with medicine, such as prescribing, ordering laboratory tests, and physical assessment. While expecting few problems with patient acceptance, the general practitioners felt that funding and doctors' acceptance would be problematic. Most general practitioners indicated they had knowledge of the nurse practitioner role and had experienced working with a nurse in advanced practice, but some uncertainty and lack of knowledge about the nurse practitioner role was evident. The author recommends more education and discussion with Northland general practitioners to ensure they are fully informed about the nurse practitioner role and its potential positioning in primary healthcare, to reduce uncertainty, minimise role confusion and promote collaboration between general practitioners and nurse practitioners. |
