Infermieri e pnrr: Ci sono davvero spazi e risorse per l’assistenza?

Summary. Nurses and the new reform: is there space and resources for nursing care? Introduction. The National reform for recovery and resilience (PNRR) may represent a unique opportunity for the development of the nursing profession. Objective. A group of colleagues was asked to comment on the positive and critical aspects of the PNRR. Methods. Questions or points for reflection were proposed: if and how the nurses’role is recognised and promoted in the redesigned National Healthcare System; the real attention to the continuum of care and to the actual fragmentation of social and health services in community care; if Mission 6: Health devotes sufficient attention and funding to the needed increase in the number of health professionals in the health care services and to the development of new skills. Everyone was free to choose which question to answer or could send free reflections. Results. In addition to the positive aspects, a number of critical points and areas to be better defined were highlighted, for example, the need for more nurses requires investment in training; greater clarity is needed regarding the chain of coordination of home care and district services (who, how, whether public or private). Conclusions. It is important to continue paying attention, monitoring and speaking out to ensure that European funding enhances district, and public, care. And a key point to reach this aim is also the strengthening of the nursing care networks.
