Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed nursing at the forefront of public attention across the globe and has highlighted the critical role of nursing in healthcare service provision. Advanced practice nursing has been recognized for more than 50 years, but the rate of its growth and development varies significantly across the world. One of the key aims of the Better Health Programme Mexico, which commenced in 2019, was to develop advanced practice nursing in Mexico. The Programme was based on the United Kingdom model, where advanced practice nursing has been in place—though not subject to statutory regulation—for more than 40 years. The aim of this article is to compare the frameworks that underpin advanced practice nursing in the United Kingdom and in Mexico. In the present article, current practice in both countries was researched, and the structure, systems, and processes relating to nursing regulation and the frameworks to support advanced practice nursing were examined. A gap analysis report undertaken as part of the Better Health Programme identified challenges in developing advanced practice nursing in Mexico and the United Kingdom and highlighted the need for stakeholders to agree on an approach toward a rigorous regulatory framework in both settings. In summary, this article highlights the issues facing nurses and regulators in both countries in terms of advanced practice nursing and identifies strategies that can be used to strengthen the advanced practice nurse role.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Nursing Regulation (JNR), the official journal of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, academic and professional journal. It publishes scholarly articles that advance the science of nursing regulation, promote the mission and vision of NCSBN, and enhance communication and collaboration among nurse regulators, educators, practitioners, and the scientific community. The journal supports evidence-based regulation, addresses issues related to patient safety, and highlights current nursing regulatory issues, programs, and projects in both the United States and the international community. In publishing JNR, NCSBN''s goal is to develop and share knowledge related to nursing and other healthcare regulation across continents and to promote a greater awareness of regulatory issues among all nurses.
