This book was released on 2016 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Public health nurses (PHN) work long hours, carry high caseloads, manage with fewer resources, and must deal with increasing technology while ensuring the provision of quality care. Since the time of Lillian Wald, public health nursing has undergone a major transformation in the types of services provided in the community due to the complexity and acuity of the current patient population. PHNs play a significant role in helping patients to effectively manage their illness in order to prevent unplanned hospitalizations. Illness, absenteeism, turnover, and poor job satisfaction are end products of stress. The purpose of this DNP project was to examine the impact of care coordination and caseload on job satisfaction and stress on the PHNs who are providing care to patients in the community. Methods: Descriptive study using mixed methods of data collection and analysis. A purposive sample of nurses who have had experience working in home care and who have provided skilled nursing care for a minimum of one year completed self-reported surveys. Perceived stress was measured with the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale. Job satisfaction was assessed using the Measurement of Job Satisfaction Tool. Analysis of the data collected from the surveys included descriptive and inferential statistics. Correlation coefficients, two-sample t-tests and content analysis were used to summarize the data and compare group differences between nurses with different caseloads. Results: However, due to a small sample size, the correlation and t test results showed inconsistency with content analysis. Content analysis provided more insight and represented more accurately the characteristics of a small sample size. Conclusion/ Clinical relevance: There exists a gap in the research regarding the impact of these factors on PHN and additional research is needed to explore the relationships between work conditions and PHN stress and impact on patient care. The results of this study support the idea that high caseloads impact job satisfaction and stress levels of nurses working in public health. Implementing changes to improve work conditions would provide PHNs with the time needed to focus on quality patient care which would ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes. In addition, the data collected from this project could influence change as it relates to the current model of care delivery in public health.

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 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this analysis of the global workforce, the Joint Learning Initiative, a consortium of more than 100 health leaders, proposes that mobilization and strengthening of human resources for health, neglected yet critical, is central to combating health crises in some of the world's poorest countries and for building sustainable health systems everywhere. Worker shortage, skill mix imbalance, maldistribution, negative work environments, and weak knowledge bases challenge nearly all countries. Especially in the poorest countries, the workforce is under assault by a triple threat of HIV/AIDS, out-migration, and inadequate investment. Effective country strategies should be launched and backed by international reinforcement. These include urgently mobilizing one million more health workers for Africa, and focusing efforts on the unremunerated community-level health workers, the majority of whom are women. Ultimately, the crisis in human resources is a shared problem requiring shared responsibility for cooperative action. Alliances for action are recommended to strengthen the performance of all actors while expanding space and energy for new ones.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to explore the relationships between the work environment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to stay from the perspective of public health nurses (PHNs) in Texas. Survey instruments were adapted for use in the population-based public health setting. A cross-sectional prospective survey design was used to conduct this research. The following work environment characteristics were rated favorably by PHNs: manager support, autonomy, teamwork, and an organizational focus on service excellence. However, unfavorable perceptions were reported with regard to new employee orientation and training, opportunities for career growth, staffing adequacy, and a practice model that involved PHNs’ input into organizational matters. Most PHNs were committed to their public health agencies and satisfied with their jobs. However, work stresses were experienced. The work environment, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment predicted PHNs’ intent to stay. Furthermore satisfaction-to-commitment serial mediation was found in the causal relationship between the work environment and intent to stay. This study fills an important research gap regarding the PHN work environment and outcomes in Texas. Findings will be presented to public health agency leaders and policy makers. The ultimate goal is to provide information and tools that can be used to improve work environment quality and assist public health agencies in the future recruitment and retention of PHNs.

Download or read book An Introduction to Health Planning for Developing Health Systems written by Andrew Green and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health planning is a critical component when responding to the health needs of low and middle income countries, characterised by particularly stringent resource constraints. The major communicable diseases such as AIDS, TB and malaria often appear in parallel with growing non-communicable diseases including heart disease and diabetes, and yet resources are often less than the levels recommended by the World Health Organisation for basic health care. The new edition of this well-respected text explains the importance of health planning in both developing regions such as Africa, and those in transition, such as Central and Eastern Europe. It stresses the importance of understanding the national and international context in which planning occurs, and provides an up to date analysis of the major current policy issues, including health reforms. Separate chapters are dedicated to the distinct issues of finance for health care and human resource planning. The various techniques used at each stage of the planning process are explained, starting with the situational analysis and then looking in turn at priority-setting, option appraisal, programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The book ends by examining the challenges facing planners in the 21st century, particularly in the light of growing globalisation. A major theme of the book is the need to recognise and reconcile the inevitable tension that lies between value judgements and 'rational' decision-making. As such, in addition to introducing techniques such as costing and economic appraisal, it also outlines techniques such as stakeholder analysis for understanding the relative attitudes and power of different groups in planning decisions. Each chapter includes a comprehensive bibliography (including key websites), a summary, and exercises to help the reader practise techniques and better understand the content. The book argues that all health professionals and community groups should be involved in the planning process for it to be effective, and will therefore appeal to anyone involved in planning.
