Dissemination and Influence of the International Family Nursing Association Position Statements: A Scoping Review
The IFNA-PSs serve as foundational documents for family nursing, but their potential to globally standardize education and shape policy is not yet fully realized. Key barriers include structural inconsistencies across documents and a publication strategy relying on web-based resources rather than indexed journal articles, limiting citation tracking. Future strategies should prioritize revising the statements, pursuing publication in peer-reviewed journals, and applying Implementation Science frameworks to develop targeted initiatives that bridge gaps in education, policy, and geographic reach.
