Progress and challenges for advanced practice nursing in Mexico and the United Kingdom
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study is to compare the advanced practice nursing development in Mexico with the United Kingdom. BACKGROUND: In spite of the involvement of global and local bodies to establish and develop advanced practice nursing worldwide, progress remains variable due to the lack of homogeneity in health care systems and policies. EVALUATION: Using thematic analysis from interviews of 29 health care professionals in Mexico, we identified four major issues that impact on the development of advanced practice nursing: (a) workforce, (b) organizational and institutional, (c) regulatory and legal and (d) academic and educational. KEY ISSUES: Learning from the UK experience in relation to overcoming some of these issues has been insightful in terms of how advanced practice nursing skills in Mexican nurses can be developed. CONCLUSIONS: Mexico is still in early stages of the development of APN. Based on the UK experience, the government may have to move forward to support higher level training, create labour market positions, establish new nursing functions, promote task-shifting and particularly implement solid regulation. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The development of advanced practice nursing represents important challenges for training and practice of nursing in Mexico and the United Kingdom; therefore, interested actors will have to reach key agreements that could work as the foundations of an assertive planning process.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
