An evaluation of WHA resolution 45.5: health human resource implications.

The World Health Assembly approved resolution WHA45.5 in 1992. This paper reports the findings of an evaluation of the implementation of this resolution using a survey technique. A total of 150 WHO Member States responded, for a 79% response rate. Findings suggest that the greatest strides worldwide have been made in education. While the data show that progress has been made at the country level, far more action is needed to strengthen nursing and midwifery if these cost-effective resources are to play a decisive role in improving the extent and quality of services, especially as delivered to people in the greatest need.

Reducing the risk of hepatitis to staff.

Hepatitis continues to pose a serious risk to the health of staff and patients. A number of procedures can be put in place to protect the health and safety of nurses exposed to the risk. Nurses should be aware of systems and policies in their own work area.

Raising the nursing profile: the case of the invisible nurse.

The reform of nursing and midwifery is a key concern of health services in the CCEE/NIS. This major change will be impossible without accurate and up-to-date information made readily available to nursing leaders and to people helping them with the reforms. At present, however, such information is hard to come by and nurses remain statistically neglected--the case of the Invisible Nurse. The WHO Regional Office for Europe has launched a project to tackle this through the development of nursing and midwifery profiles. Such profiles were created for each of these countries, and they have proved useful to nursing leaders, WHO staff and consultants and other agencies and researchers. Despite the problems arising from limited WHO resources, the quality of the data collected and differences in terminology, the success of the profiles has laid the foundation for future work: completing the profiles for the central and eastern countries and answering the demands for profiles for other Member States of the European Region. The data thus compiled would enable a comparative analysis of nursing in the Region to be made, with the tracking of trends and perhaps the design of indicators of nursing development in countries.
