Abstract |
The prevalence of allergic disease has increased significantly in western countries over the last decade. However, the author points to the availability of specialist allergy services in New Zealand being limited to the large cities, resulting in a lack of, or fragmentation of, the allergy-related services in smaller regions. As a public health nurse in Otago working with a rising number of families with severely food allergic children, the author had become aware of the challenges many parents face in accessing accurate information about their child's allergy and the negative impact this has had on them and their child. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how an Allergy Nurse Specialist (ANS) led service could improve the experiences and health outcomes of the families and children with severe food allergies living in Otago. A critical analysis of the literature on allergy nursing, advanced nursing roles, and related food allergy issues was conducted and applied to the Otago region. Drawing on the 'Nurse with a Special Interest in Allergy' model of nurse-led allergy care outlined by Cross (2005) and the existing Otago District Health Board's (2004) clinical nurse specialist role, the author proposes that an ANS-led model of care, incorporating advanced nursing practice, primary care access and multidisciplinary collaboration could complement the existing allergy related services in Otago. The focus of the ANS's care will be on facilitating timely access to accurate assessment and advice for families regarding the management of their child's food allergies. |
