This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation was to determine if nurses' attitudes towards older people influence their decisions to activate or not activate rapid response teams and to explore how nurses describe care of the elderly patient. In Chapter I, a review of the literature indicated that the majority of patients in acute care hospitals are over age 65, and rapid response team activation rates are lower than desired leading to higher cardiac arrest rates and poor outcomes. Research suggests ageist attitudes are pervasive in healthcare settings resulting in substandard care for the elderly. No research to date has explored if ageist attitudes could be a factor in activation of rapid response teams. Questions not addressed in the literature include: How do nurses describe their experiences in caring for elderly patients?; How do nurses describe the impact of attitudes toward the elderly on decisions to activate or not activate RRT? To address these questions, a narrative analysis was conducted to better describe nurses' experiences in caring for elderly patients. Chapter II describes the common themes that emerged from nurses' experiences with older patients and rapid response teams. A primary theme of Older Patients: A Narrative of Social Interaction was evident in the narrative as nurses described how they favor older patients who can tell stories from the past. A hesitancy to act and call rapid response team for a declining patient is discussed under the theme, A Second Set of Eyes. Clinical judgment and how nurses' describe their own and peer's decisions to activate or not activate rapid response team is delineated by the theme, Clinical Judgement and Novice Nurses . The narratives illustrate new knowledge about activating RRT for older patients and reinforces some known barriers. Chapter III describes how the Synergy Model can be used as a systematic framework for analyzing individual clinical scenarios and describe the patient in a continuum from highly stable to minimally stable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/
Download or read book Nurse Practitioners Attitudes Toward the Elderly written by Iselda Gentry and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nurse's attitudes toward the elderly have been shown to influence the care of this population of patients (Treharne, 1990) and those formed attitudes may be a result of such factors as age, gender, ethnicity and years of experience (Gallagher, Bennett & Halford, 2006). At the time of this proposal, there have been no studies examining the relationship between nurse practitioners' (NP) attitudes toward the elderly and NPs' demographic variables. Thus, additional research is needed to examine the nurse's attitudes toward the elderly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Download or read book Improving Student Nurses Attitudes Towards the Elderly written by Maria Mackey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elderly population is projected to nearly double by the year 2030. With the increased number of elderly needing healthcare and concerns of ageist attitudes towards the elderly, student nurses need to have a better understanding of this patient population and the implications of providing biased care. Research indicates that there are multiple variables that help form attitudes about the elderly, and the positive influence of education. Using Kogan's (1961) Attitudes Towards Old People scale, this project surveyed attitudes of pre-licensure diploma level nursing students, both before and after the completion of a seven-week gerontology specific course, guided by Miller's (1990) Functional Consequences Theory for Promoting Wellness in Older Adults. Using an independent-samples t-test, before gerontology ATOP total scores were compared to after gerontology ATOP total scores to determine if the gerontology specific education improved student nurses' attitudes toward the elderly. The findings of this project demonstrated no significant difference in scores for before and after, suggesting that the intervention of gerontology specific education had no impact as a strategy to improve student attitudes. The lack of improvement may be a result of students already having positive attitudes. Another reason that the results may have failed to demonstrate an improvement in student attitudes after gerontology education, was the sample size which may have been too small to capture a change that may have occurred with a larger sample size.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.
