To investigate issues surrounding role extension or
expansion in intensive care nursing, a small qualitative
study was conducted centred on one intensive care
unit (ICU) within a large teaching hospital.
Data were collected by semi-structured interviews
from a purposive sample of five senior intensive care
nurses and three consultant anaesthetists. Four
major categories emerged, identified as:
interpretation confusion; education for change;
struggles for power and task versus autonomy.
