Abstract

Background: The rising complexity of healthcare demands and the necessity for highly qualified and specialized healthcare personnel have led to an evolution in the role of advanced practice nurses (APNs). Objectives: This review aimed to examine evidence regarding the need to develop orthopedic nurse practitioners (ONP), the role of ONP, and the possible impact on the Orthopedic ward. Method: The literature review was conducted by using the matrix method. This method is also inspired by Thomas and Harden’s thematic synthesis (Thomas & Harden). Results: A total of four themes were identified: (1) Advanced practice nurse development; (2) The need for nurse practitioners; ( 3) The role of advanced practice nurses in orthopedic setting; ( 4) Impact of advanced practice nurses towards orthopedic injury patients. Discussion: Identifying the need to develop an advanced practice nurse role in caring for patients with musculoskeletal injuries is important to improve the healthcare system in a country. A total of 43 articles had been reviewed in this research. There are 9 articles out of 43 articles that meet the inclusion criteria that discuss the development of advanced practice nurses in their country while the impact of advanced practice nurses is explained in 10 articles. Most of the articles ( 16/ 43) are discussing the role of the advanced practice nurses. However, there are only 8 articles related to the need for advanced practice nurses. Nevertheless, the majority of the researchers are from Western countries while a few of them are from Middle East and Asian countries.
