Human, Susara Petronella, 1952- Private nurse Independent practitioner Entrepreneurship Innovator AFFIRM model Community nursing practice Business management skills Communication Multidisciplinary teams Financial management Cost control Health promotion 610.730692 Community health nursing -- South Africa Nurses -- South Africa Text in English Little is known about the current practice of the nurse practising as an independent private practitioner in South Africa. There is also limited information available about his/her needs for establishing and maintaining a private practice. In this exploratory, descriptive study the AFFIRM model was applied and specific data regarding the practice and needs of the nurse in private practice was collected through a questionnaire. Based on the analysed data, it would appear that the majority of private nurse practitioners are married females and fall into the age group below 44 years. Although a variety of nursing services are offered, quality control appears to be minimal. It was found that private nurse practitioners have specific learning needs particularly regarding business management skills, quality control and current nursing practices. Recommendations were made for the maintenance of standards in private practices and the introduction of short courses for nurses in private practice.
