Abstract
AIM:
The literature on nursing care in nurse clinics that focus on chronic management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is analysedand synthesised with the purpose of advancing research of practice in nurse clinics.
BACKGROUND:
Along with the rising prevalence of COPD and a growing recognition of long-lasting, comprehensiveand complex healthcare needs of people with COPD and their families, nurses are challenged to restructure their practice.
METHODS:
An integrated review was conducted. The databases searchedwere NCBI's PubMed database, Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science from 1996 to 2006. Terms searched were 'COPD' and 'nurse managed clinic' with all subheadings. A nurse had to be primary in managing andproviding the services and the methodological approach was inclusive.
RESULTS:
Of 385 potentially relevant papers, 20 papers reporting 16 studies met the inclusion criteria. The methodologicalapproach was diverse with randomised controlled trials being most common. Significant benefits from experimental treatments were seldom demonstrated. Nursing care in the chronic phase of COPD has mainlybeen conceptualised as: home-based respiratory care; self-management educational programmes and telephone service with influences of specialisation in respiratory nursing care on patients' outcomes asan emphasis as well. Family focus was not found in any of the studies.
CONCLUSION:
Research on nurse clinics that focus on the chronic phase of COPD is in its infancy. Innovative research thataddresses the structure and content of the nursing care is essential.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE:
Nursing care in nurse clinics that focus on the chronic phase of COPD needs to be based on...
