Health and Professional Practice in Argentina: Applied Research in Patient Care, Workforce Training, and Health Interventions brings together a selection of final degree projects in nursing and medicine that reflect the realities, challenges, and innovations of clinical practice in Argentina. The chapters address key issues such as the development of research skills among nursing staff, the design and evaluation of continuing education programmes, the quality and safety of care in paediatric intensive care units, and the safe administration of medications in complex clinical settings. Through original studies and intervention projects, the contributors explore how structured training, evidence-based practice, and systematic evaluation of competencies can strengthen professional autonomy, improve decision-making, and enhance patient outcomes.
The volume combines quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches applied to real-world scenarios in hospitals and health services, particularly in Rosario and other Argentine contexts. It highlights institutional barriers and enabling factors for research and lifelong learning in nursing, and proposes concrete strategies for implementing educational interventions, monitoring results, and building a culture of patient safety. By focusing on the intersection between professional practice, education, and research, this book offers relevant insights for health professionals, educators, and policy-makers committed to advancing the quality of care and the role of nursing and medical teams in contemporary healthcare systems.
