Objectives:
CRIN has been developed to assist Russian Ministry of Health (MoH) and Russian Nurses Association (RNA) in establishing systemic regulatory networks to provide for improved nursing care and enhanced role of nurses as key elements of the country's health care restructuring strategy aimed at effective use of resources and more pronounced shift to primary health. CRIN will affect the nursing community of the entire country by introducing new national educational standards, standardized clinical procedures and organizational models as critical components of quality assurance. It will also introduce new standards and models in such areas as professional development, health promotion, family nursing, palliative and geriatric nursing. Three Canadian partners: Grant MacEwan College, Canadian Nurses Association and Capital Health Authority (Edmonton, Alberta) will share Canadian expertise and best practices in the above areas. The specific of objectives of the project are: 1)To develop and implement in 7 presidential okrugs gender sensitive regulatory, organ-izational and educational frameworks for a nursing quality control system that includes clinical standards/guidelines for nursing practice and national standards in post-diploma nursing education; 2)To enhance the role of national and regional nursing associations as professional ac-creditation bodies to develop and administer independent accreditation tests for nurs-ing schools and health care facility as a vital element of quality assurance. 3)To expand the role of nurses as gender sensitive primary health care providers |

Objectives:
The project aims at setting up a joint teaching programme lead by a project group in which the Swedish members will be nurses representing HIV care and hospital hygiene and similar competency from Russia. The project group will recruit suitable trainers, design a teaching programme and oversee the implementation.
It is aimed that the programme will be made available to head-nurses in above mentioned groups of nurses obligating them to spread their knowledge in their home district. Russia has the most rapidly raising HIV incidence in the world. At the end of 2002, there is estimated to be about 1 miljon HIV-positive Russians, most of them infected through intravenous drug use (IDU). There is no sign of any slowing-down. Most Russian health care workers (HCWs) are still unaccustomed to dealing with HIV-positive patients. The situation is very similar to the situation existing in Sweden 15 years ago. The problems include concern about own personal safety (often expressed also by spouses of the HCWs), lack of care routines, and inexperience in talking to patients about protecting others. In Sweden, there exists a large group of nurses with decade-long experience in care for HIV patients. Many members in this group have expressed their willingness to participate in a programme to share this experience with their Russian counterparts. Comments The present rapid spread of HIV infection in Russia is leaving much of the health care staff behind due to experience and skill. In many ways, the situation is similar to Sweden in the mid 80s. A wish has been expressed by representatives from the Russian nurses collective that Swedish nurses could share their experience and knowledge on a larger scale. This knowledge would include care routine, knowledge of counselling and hospital hygiene, but also focus on preventive aspects of carefully informing already HIV- positive patients about measures not to infect others. |
