Résumé
Depuis leur introduction en 2007, le gouvernement du Québec a eu pour objectif d’augmenter le nombre d’infirmières praticiennes spécialisées en soins de première ligne (IPSPL) dans le système de santé. L’un des principaux défis à relever pour atteindre cet objectif a été d’assurer la disponibilité de stages cliniques de haute qualité pour la formation des étudiantes IPSPL. Pour relever ce défi, un Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) s’est associé à une École universitaire de sciences infirmières dans un grand centre urbain pour entreprendre le programme de développement du leadership FORCES d’Excellence en santé Canada. Ce projet, en deux phases, visait à augmenter le nombre de stages de qualité proposés pour la formation des étudiantes IPSPL. Cet article décrit la première phase, qui consistait à élaborer un modèle d’excellence pour la formation clinique des IPSPL. Un cadre de collecte de données a été créé, comprenant une analyse documentaire, des entrevues de groupe et des entrevues individuelles avec divers intervenant(e)s impliqué(e)s dans les stages cliniques. L’analyse thématique a permis d’identifier cinq thèmes clés qui sont devenus les piliers du modèle d’excellence : 1) le partenariat (CIUSSS – Université); 2) la diversité de l’exposition clinique; 3) le soutien et le perfectionnement des superviseures; 4) l’implication des patients à la formation clinique des étudiantes IPSPL; et 5) une culture d’apprentissage fondée sur les forces et les données probantes. Le modèle souligne l’importance du perfectionnement professionnel continu pour les superviseures, en particulier pour la préparation des stages des étudiantes. En ce qui concerne l’expérience de stage, il fait valoir l’importance d’une exposition clinique variée et d’un processus d’accueil et d’intégration dans les milieux de santé pour les étudiantes. Enfin, le modèle met en évidence la nécessité d’assurer une communication claire et efficace entre l’université et le milieu de santé, et de garantir du temps consacré à la supervision clinique.
Abstract
Since primary care nurse practitioners were first introduced in 2007, the Government of Quebec has sought to increase their numbers in the health care system. One of the principal challenges in this regard consisted of ensuring the availability of high-quality clinical placements for nurse practitioner students specializing in the field of primary care. To address this issue, a CIUSSS (integrated university health and social services centre) joined forces with a university school of nursing in a major urban centre to participate in EXTRA, Healthcare Excellence Canada’s leadership development program. This project, consisting of two phases, sought to increase the number of quality placements for preparing primary care nurse practitioner students. This article discusses the first phase, which focused on developing an excellence model for these placements. A data collection framework was created and included a literature review as well as individual and group interviews with various parties involved in the clinical placement process. The thematic analysis allowed for determining the following five key elements, which constitute the pillars of the excellence model: 1) the partnership (between the CIUSSS and the university); 2) the diversity of the clinical exposure; 3) the support and development of supervisors; 4) the participation of patients in the clinical education of primary care nurse practitioner students; and 5) a learning culture based on strengths- and evidence-based data. The model emphasizes the importance of the ongoing processional development of supervisors, particularly regarding the preparation of student placements. As for the placement experience per se, it attests to the significance of students benefiting from a varied clinical exposure and an effective process for entering and integrating health care settings. Lastly, the model showcases the need to ensure clear and efficient communication between the university and the health care setting and to set time aside for clinical supervision.
