The pace of change. New roles and challenges redefine the nursing profession.

The speed at which a profession is changing can be gauged by the number of new roles its members play. By this measure, nursing has undergone a revolution over the past decade. Although nurses continue to devote much of their time to direct patient care, most of them also have roles as care planners, managers, educators, and even counselors. In many cases, moreover, nurses today do work and address problems that few would have identified as part of "nursing" 10 years ago.

[Nursing interagency referral forms are important for cooperation within the nursing profession upon patient transfer from hospital to home care].

The purpose of this study was to clarify factors concerning hospital discharge notification in Shizuoka. The subjects, nurses at 146 hospitals and 93 public health centers or municipal health centers, were surveyed by means of a questionnaire. The data were analyzed by the chi-squared test and multiple logistic linear regression analysis. The results showed that hospital discharge notification was provided by 92.6% of hospitals having a hospital discharge notification form, but only 7.4% of hospitals without such a form. There was a significant difference in hospital discharge notification between hospitals with and without a nursing interagency referral form, indicating that the latter is an important factor in provision of information on transfer of patients from the care of hospital nurses to that of public health nurses (p < 0.001). There were no significant links between providing hospital discharge notification and the number of beds, the existence of a visiting nurse room, the MSW, the examination of nursing assistance methods after discharge, or the notification of hospitalization. These results indicated that the nursing interagency referral form to be important for notification purposes.

Moderate support for various propositions of the theory suggests that further research is warranted and that Kolb's model may be useful as a basis for developing instructional activities in professional nursing education programmes.
