Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate discussion and debate about the 'concept' of 'advanced practice' and the wider issue of 'advancing' nursing practice. Defining, credentialling and regulating advanced practice promises rich fruits for nursing. Advancing nursing practice will be a consequence only if the right conditions are fostered for the development and provision of nursing expertise in practice. A conscious and collective effort must be made to ensure that the expertise of all nurses is recognised and developed. One process which has shown promise in psychiatric and mental health nursing is 'clinical supervision'. Evolving nursing leadership roles and more education can provide only a partial solution to the problem of advanced and advancing practice.

Student nurses' use of their interpersonal skills within clinical role-plays.

Heron's six-category intervention analysis is a component of many counselling courses and is used extensively by teachers of interpersonal skills within nursing curricula. In addition, researchers have used six-category intervention analysis as a theoretical framework for exploring nurses' perceptions of their interpersonal skills. This study aimed to advance previous research by using Heron's framework to analyse student nurses' actual skills, as deployed in clinical role-plays, and then to compare them to earlier findings. Analysis of the data produced the following rank order of interventions based on Heron's framework: catalytic, prescriptive, supportive, informative, confronting and cathartic. The findings both challenge and support previous findings on nurses' perceptions of their interpersonal skills. The paper discusses these findings and their implications for clinical practice.
