Nursing in resource-limited settings requires providing quality care with limited resources through innovation, prioritization, and community engagement. Challenges include: shortages of supplies, equipment, medications, and staff; inadequate infrastructure; and high patient loads. Strategies: task-shifting (delegating to trained lay workers); using low-cost alternatives; preventive focus; community involvement; and advocacy for resources. Nurses adapt protocols to available resources while maintaining safety. Cultural competence is crucial in global health contexts. Documentation may be simplified but essential. Education of patients and community health workers extends reach. Ethical issues: resource allocation, standards of care, dual loyalty. Nurses develop resilience and creativity. Partnerships with organizations can supplement resources. Research on effective low-resource interventions informs practice. Work often includes public health and primary care components. Self-care prevents burnout in challenging conditions. Nursing in these settings makes significant impact despite constraints.
