Advanced Practice Nursing: Contexts of Care is a robust collection of practice focused case studies which address current issues in the evolving nursing profession, targeting concerns of the advanced practice nurse. Throughout the text actual cases are used for the illustration and analysis of practice contexts, which include organizational structure, managed care, inter- and intra-professional issues, politics, power, finance, planning, regulation, ethics, law, quality, and patient safety. Discussion around opportunities for nursing to extend practice into new forms and environments is also covered. Advanced Practice Nursing: Contexts of Care is a very valuable tool for case-based teaching format around policy issues that directly impact practice and Master’s-prepared nurses. Each case is interspersed with discussion questions which guide case discussions in both specific and global issues within the case. In addition, each case has a list of references that can be used to guide the cases. Unlike other health policy texts, this text focuses on cases that bring application to those health policy issues. This text is also a solid resource for practitioners interested in keeping current on issues that guide clinical practice. Key Objectives: Appreciate the regulatory and legal environment that surrounds practice Analyze the influences of the working and regulatory contexts upon nursing practice Integrate an understanding of history and development of trends and issues into contemporary practice Provide a differential diagnosis among political, policy, regulatory, legal, and professional causes of contextual problems Propose solutions to contextual problems Value experience as data

The contents of this volume reflect enthusiasm among clinicians and scholars for mental health care being ''everyone''s business'' underpinned by quality, sustainability and health for all, and the creation, application and communication of care delivering individual and community benefit. At the same time there is a commitment from the Journal to ensure ongoing strong links with professional education and practice fostered through international peer reviewed publication.In developing the volume, the editors set about trying to address the dynamic nature of mental health nursing across the lifespan. The importance of mental health nursing is highlighted by knowledge that neuropsychiatric conditions account for 13% of the total Disability Adjusted Life Years lost due to all diseases and injuries in the world and are estimated to increase to 15% by the year 2020 (WHO 2004). Mental ill health represents not only an immense psychological, social and economic burden to society, but also increases the risk and complexity of physical illnesses. Hickie and colleagues (2005) identify the following national trends across Australia People aged between 25 and 49 years account for 56% of all suicides in Australia, and rates were highest in men aged 25 to 29 years (31.1 per 100 000); More than half of all health-related disability costs in 15-34 year-olds are attributable to mental health problems; 27% of all years lived with disability in Australia are attributable to mental disorders; Less than 40% of people with mental disorders receive any mental health care in a 12-month period compared with almost 80% for other common physical health problems; 75% of mental health care is provided in the primary care sector, with limited access to specialist support; Almost 50% of people with mental disorders are not recognised by their general practitioner as having a psychological problem; A majority of psychotic disorders (greater than 50%) commence before age 25, and there can be a delay of 2-8 years before first presentation for treatment; and Up to 60% of cases of alcohol or other substance misuse could be prevented by earlier treatment of common mental health problems. Given the current limitations in effectiveness of treatment modalities for decreasing disability due to mental disorders, the only sustainable method for reducing the burden caused by these disorders in prevention.In clinical practice this means early identification of symptoms and warning signs of mental ill health, improved nutrition, physical activity, housing and social connectedness have the potential to promote mental positive health and prevent mental illness. Such factors also provide substantial insight into the role of risk and protective factors in the developmental pathways to mental disorders and poor mental health. High co-morbidity among mental disorders and their interrelatedness with physical illness and social problems stress the need for integrated public health activity that will target clusters of related problems, common determinants, early stages of multi-problem trajectories and populations at multiple risks. The multi-outcome interventions of nursing and health care should be examined for their psychological benefits for improving positive mental health, the way they contribute to better physical health and generate social and economic benefits. Such investigations should be culturally sensitive and use both qualitative and quantitative research methods.At a service level grass-roots pressures reflect an increasing incidence of mental disorders in young people, increased numbers of presentations for care and more disturbed behaviour, often in association with alcohol or other substance misuse problems. Most likely, the incidence of mental illness across Australia will continue to increase, particularly among younger people, partly because of the adverse effects of current social and environmental factors, as well as ineffectiveness of current treatment modalities (Andrews 2005). These include increased family breakdown, decreasing participation in and sense of belonging to community-based structures such as churches, sporting and recreational associations and social clubs, and increased exposure to substances such as cannabis and illicit stimulants. The prevalence of mental disorders among elderly people is likely to rise due to the increasing incidence of vascular, degenerative and other brain disorders (Hickie et al. 2005). At the same time community demand for appropriate and accessible mental health services is likely to grow over the coming years due to increased aging plus increasing incidence of mental disorders in young people (Mental Health Council of Australia and the Brain and Mind Research Institute 2005).The editors believe this volume both applies and contributes to human knowledge and civil society. In making this claim we have put the contents to the test by asking the fundamental questions raised by Ernest Boyer (1990).How can knowledge be responsibly applied to consequential problems? How can it be helpful to individuals as well as institutions? These scholarly works identify a continuing need to improve access and availability of services and makes a series of recommendations to help achieve this aim. Such an enlargement of focus is important as mental health services within communities are delivered to population groups defined by population need, staff availability and funds available. Such services also tend to be established and sustained around key local service providers such as a senior nurse, community mental health service, community health service, visiting mental health worker, local hospital facility and/or local non-government supports and family support. Pathway access to hospital care varies throughout the world due to the amount of infrastructure support, the episodic nature of mental illness, staff availability, bed availability and transport arrangements. The pathway for access to hospital treatment for marginalised and disenfranchised groups is a particular concern as is access to appropriate services upon discharge in the wider community. Access and availability of services such as crisis assessment teams, respite and supportive accommodation, recovery and psychosocial rehabilitation programs upon discharge from hospitals and community treatment centres are crucial and in constant demand.Finally, the launch of this volume is in tune with the principals of the forthcoming World Health Report 2006. In response to World Health Assembly resolution WHA57.19, the WHO Director-General declared the ''health workforce'' to be the theme of the World Health Report 2006. The Report will offer scientific and policy support for the ''Day and the Decade''. The Day will energize relevant constituencies to celebrate health workers around the world. The follow-up activities of the Decade will focus on implementing and evaluating policies and strategies for workforce development. Both the Day and the Decade will emphasize collaboration, partnership and global responsibility for health workforce issues. Irrespective of practice setting clinical mental health care requires teamwork. This is due to the social and biological determinants of mental ill health, the episodic nature of mental illness, differing approaches to care and availability of resources. Assessment and treatment of mental ill health requires a collaborative systems approach ensuring that care is experienced by clients in a consistent and connected manner. This requires service providers to communicate their assessment of clients and expectations of other service providers and promote continuity of care. The editors hope that the papers of this volume reflect these guiding principals.Nicholas G ProcterAssociate Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of South Australia - City East Campus, Adelaide, South Australia

"There are many policy books, but none are written by APRNs or focus just on APRN practice. This topic is critical in today's healthcare reform movement. APRNs are at the core, or can be, if they use their practice knowledge and education to shape policy...[The] editors eloquently make the case that policy formation is a critical nursing skill."--Doody's Medical Reviews ìGaining a better understanding of the political landscape and its impact on nursing and the APRN practice environment, by learning through textbooks such as this, and then through active involvement at any level in the political process itself, can only strengthen nursing and its influence on health policy .î -Loretta C. Ford, RN, EdD, PNP, FAAN, FAANP From the Foreword This view of health policy from the perspective of APRN practice is a call to action for advanced practice nurses to learn about the impact and implications of current initiatives in health policy. This knowledge will assist them in determining how they define and create positive change for their patients and have an impact on community, national, and world health. This is the only text that satisfies the need for policy discussions for all APNs , it is designed to meet the requirements of both the IOM report on The Future of Nursing and the DNP criteria V for inclusion of health policy and advocacy in the curriculum. The text encompasses evolving health care policy and reform in the U.S., Canada, and internationally, addressing its impact on advanced practice nursing, APRN roles, care for special populations, health care quality, and patient safety . The book brings together a wealth of information written by luminaries in the field. Dr. Goudreau is a Past President, and Board Member of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS), and Dr. Smolenski was Director of Certification Services at the ANCC for 11 years, directing certification for 150,000 nurses in over 30 specialties. The text discusses issues surrounding the regulation of APRNs, how the local regulatory environment shapes their practice and how they can shape their local regulatory environment. Additionally, the text brings in international perspectives on how APRNs can and are impacting patient care globally. In order to provide content relevant to a universal APRN readership, each section of the text endeavors to present information from all four APRN perspectives: NPs, CNSs, CRNAs , and CNMs. For all of these roles, the book covers the implications of current and future health policy changes for APRN practice. Key Features: Addresses the role-specific policy informational needs of all APRN roles including NPs, CNSs, CRNAs , and CNMs Brings together in one volume all of the requisite information about health care policy and reform and its impact on advanced practice nursing Meets the requirements of the IOM report on The Future of Nursing and the DNP criteria V for inclusion of health policy and advocacy in the curriculum Offers guidance on how APRNs can influence policy development Covers impact and implications of health care policy and reform in the U.S., Canada, and internationally

Advanced Nursing Practice addresses the key issues in practice, education, regulation, research and role/practice development, which are central to defining the distinctive nature of advanced nursing practice (ANP) and explores international developments in the field of ANP. Advanced Nursing Practice has been developed in recognition of the key role nurses with advanced knowledge and skills play in developing health care services worldwide. The book tracks the evolution of new advanced practice nursing roles and innovative practice models, and examines the need for international guidelines. In exploring strategies for implementing ANP in the context of countries' health care needs, Advanced Nursing Practice addresses legal and ethical challenges and commonalities and differences in advanced nursing practice, while examining the implications, obstacles, and facilitative strategies in maintaining, implementing and supporting the development of ANP. This book provides guidance in decision-making, examines the implications for liaising with other health care professionals and encourages nurses to shape their role to the needs of their patients and practice.
