| description | Occupational health nurses face competition from other professionals in the field of
occupational health and safety. This study investigated managers' perceptions of
Australian occupational health nurses' roles. Managers were asked to rate the importance
of occupational health nurses' activities and the time they believe occupational health
nurses do or should dedicate to each activity now and in the future. The questionnaire
included 22 activity statements grouped into eight areas of practice that were thought to
constitute the occupational health nurse role, based on the Australian College of
Occupational Health Nurses standards. Data revealed that emergent roles focused on injury
prevention, health promotion, management, and research were of increasing importance, with
more time being needed for them in the future. Fulfilling these expectations may place
occupational health nurses in competition with other occupational health and safety
personnel for particular responsibilities and may require negotiation to gain support for
taking on these role activities. Fulfilling these emergent role activities effectively
will require appropriate professional development and advanced education. |
