L’acceptation des rôles de l’infirmière praticienne en première ligne selon les caractéristiques socio-démographiques des usagers de CLSC
The purpose of this study was to measure the level of acceptance of the Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (PCNP) roles, by CLSC users, according to their socio-demographic characteristics. The data acquisition for this comparative synthetic research was carried out in five CLSCs in the Montreal region through a self-administered questionnaire. The accidental sample consisted of 316 people, 18 years and older, presenting to the CLSC with a medical problem. The sample group was propositioned by posters or through the suggestions of the receptionist in the waiting room. The results reveal that nearly 40% of the sample accepts every role of the PCNP. A logistic regression analysis shows that those earning a higher annual income (greater than $40,000) are more likely to accept all PCNP roles. These results will make it possible for the decision makers to take the necessary actions to establish this new occupational class; it may also help PCNPs to create strategies for efficient promotion to the general public, in regards to their advanced practice role.
