Abstract | ABSTRACT Design: A Triangular cross sectional two stage process of data collection with typical case sampling was utilized for the study including; Participants: Remote area nurses working in small isolated (often Indigenous) communities throughout Australia. Results: respondents indicated that in single nurse clinics they often feel unsafe and unable to provide the level of care required Conclusions: Staffing current single nurse clinics with two or more nurses will improve RAN’s ability to provide appropriate Primary Health Care. It would also impact on recruitment and retention of RANs in isolated practice and help improve health seeking behaviours and health outcomes in remote communities. |
