| Summary: | Financial reporting represents a critical tool in
eliminating HIV across Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Using the tenets of the theory of indigenous alternative reporting, this paper considers how the PNG
Nursing Council may accommodate nurse-initiated
and managed antiretroviral therapy (NIMART) reporting. Textual analysis of indigenous reporting expectations placed on the PNG Nursing Council are
examined in a NIMART context to examine levels of
reporting compliance exercised by council administrators from year-end reports (1980 to 2016) to
accommodate NIMART reporting. The study revealed
that the 2014 annual report of the PNG Nursing
Council generated a 40% NIMART compliance rate,
offering encouraging signs of financial reporting
that could make room for NIMART reporting. The
study suggested that local mechanisms could be
used to meet local indigenous reporting expectations
in order to adopt NIMART reporting. The study also
has far-reaching implications for other developing
country nursing councils wanting to develop NIMART
reporting. |
