Abstract
- Objectives: Generate national estimates of the public health nursing workforce's (1) demographic and work characteristics and (2) continuing education learning needs in the United States.<br />Design: Secondary data analysis of the 2018 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses.<br />Sample: Total 7352 of the 50,273 survey respondents were categorized as public health nurses (PHNs), representing an estimated 467,271 national workforce.<br />Measurements: Survey items for demographics, practice setting, training topics, and language(s) spoken fluently were analyzed.<br />Results: Workforce demographic characteristics are included. Mental health training was the most frequently endorsed topic by PHNs, followed by patient-centered care and evidence-based care. Training topic needs vary by practice setting.<br />Conclusions: Results here can be used as a needs assessment for national public health nursing professional development and education initiatives. Further research is needed to refine and survey a nationally representative sample in a manner meaningful to public health nursing practice.<br /> (© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)
