Abstract

Practice Nurse (APN). One of the challenges is to demonstrate the additional benefits offered by their work, both to patients and their families, compared with the care received from nurses with lower experience and qualification. This article states that socio-economic factors in health determine the presence of APNs. Based on the existing research about the contribution of nurses in the management of chronic conditions, the origin of the role of APNs is also stated. The existing evidence of the effectiveness of APNs is summarized from the perspective of patients and­institution, and the manner in which the relationship between the­ ­Nursing process and care outcomes is understood.
The conclusion is suggesting that APNs need rules to organize the manner in which said role makes a clear difference in population health.
