Click here to add text • SSA objectives (2) • - Map research capacity and capability building strategies • Strategies that develop new researchers, networks and programmes • Compare programmes so governments can learn from the experience of other countries.
Click here to add text • SSA objectives (3) • - identify areas were programmes of nursing research can be developed • - Develop an application for a Coordination Action
What did we do? • Visits, phone calls, internet and e-mails • Report on accession countries (Keighley 2004) • Other European initiatives (CA ageing, HTA, etc)
Scoping exercise, countries Current partners Spain, Ireland, Netherlands,Scotland, England Potential partners CA Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Wales, Northern Ireland Other countries Portugal, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Greece Countries that accessed the EU in 2004
Scoping exercise • Quantitative information nursing/research workforce • Relevant funding organisations, national and regional • Health research priorities • Research in nursing, amount of funding, number of projects • Building capacity, number of active nurse researchers, training initiatives
Example quantitative information The Netherlands (LEVV 2004) Population 16 million Nurses 136.400 Care worker 147.900 Care Helper 39.100 Female 84% Average age 37 Nurse Practitioner 350 MScN 1700 Phd 50 Professor in Nursing 4 LEVV
Relevant funding organisations • Variety, every country has it’s own history, funding organisations and politics, • Programmes specifically on nursing • Other programmes • Charities, local funding
Research themes - Evidence Based Practice • Effectivity, efficiency • Palliative care • Pain • Coping with chronically illnesses • Family health • Alzheimer, pressure ulcers, diabetics, parkinson, delirium.
Building capacity Example Ireland The Clinical Nursing and Midwifery Fellowship scheme (HRB) Since 1999. 7 MSc by Research and 17 PhD Fellowship awards made. The Partnership Awards scheme (HRB) Since 2004, 6 awards to nurses The Mental Health Commission Fellowship scheme Awards to commence in 2005 The National Children’s Office Fellowship scheme One award to a nurse since 2001
Scoping continued • Share information • Identify best-practice in capacity building • Identify opportunities for new research • Basis for Coordination Action proposal
