About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens [with a nurse practitioner as their primary care provider] who reported that they had been informed or seen a note that suggests limiting the number of problems they can discuss with their nurse practitioner.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Primary Health Survey and Primary Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have a nurse practitioner as their primary care provider . This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "
yes, to one problem per visit, yes, to 2 problems per visit or yes, to 3 problems per visit" by the number of respondents who answered "no, I have never experienced that, yes, to one problem per visit, yes, to 2 problems per visit or yes, to 3 problems per visit" to the question: Have you been informed or seen a note that suggests limiting the number of problems you can discuss with your family doctor or nurse practitioner?

Notes

The 2020 edition of the Primary Health Survey (PHS) was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, NBHC had to assess the impact of surveying during the pandemic. Accordingly, advanced statistical analyses were performed to allow for comparison between the results obtained in 2020 and those obtained in previous PHS cycles. Despite these analyses, users are advised to use the PHS 2020 data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other PHS editions.
