- Initial harmonization has been found within nursing education in the European Union member states, but with a need for the establishment of further, well-defined standards. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the main content of nursing education expressed in national guidelines in the Nordic countries, seen as comparisons between the countries and to the European Federation of Nurses Associations (EFN) Competency Framework. A qualitative deductive research method and content analysis were applied to analyze 20 documents, using the EFN Competency Framework as a theoretical framework and analysis matrix. The study was performed in line with the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) checklist. Variations in structure between the included countries was seen and evident uniformity was lacking. There were differences, e.g. the number of European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits needed for a degree that needs to be further explored in relation to the quality of education and the competence of newly qualified nurses. There is a question of whether the EU Framework corresponds to the need for nursing competencies for today and the future. Homogenization of guidelines and structures might facilitate further development and deeper collaboration between the Nordic countries, thereby leading to enhanced patient safety and care quality.

- OBJECTIVE: Patient-centred care (PCC) is the cornerstone for healthcare professionals (HCP) to promote high quality care for patients with cardiovascular conditions. It is defined as 'Providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions'. PCC can improve patient outcomes and allow patients and HCP to manage care collaboratively using best available evidence. However, there is no clear understanding how extensively these guidelines incorporate PCC recommendations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incorporation of PCC into a selection of guidelines published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).METHODS: Using a narrative literature review and expert consensus, the Science Committee within the Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP) developed a checklist to determine PCC incorporation in clinical guidelines. Nine ESC guidelines were reviewed evaluated with committee members independently evaluating five PCC aspects: patient voice & involvement, multidisciplinary involvement, holistic care recommendations, flexibility to meet patients' needs, and provision of patient tools. The level of congruence in item ratings by experts was then compared.RESULTS: The incorporation of PCC using these respective five categories, ranged from 4% (patient tools) to 53% in the 'multidisciplinary involvement' category.CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the inclusion of PCC was low, indicating that patient perspectives and needs were less likely to be taken into account when developing, endorsing or formulating recommendations. Future development of guidelines should ensure better incorporation of patients' perspective, in particular, and other PCC aspects highlighted in this study.
