This book was released on 1987 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examined the problem of lack of congruence between the perceived need of families of critically ill patients for psychosocial support and the psychosocial support critical care nurses perceived the family members to need. It was a Level II descriptive comparative study conducted during the winter of 1987. Subjects were volunteers and included 29 family members and 36 nurses. Family members were contacted by the researcher within seventy-two hours of the patient's admission to the intensive care, coronary care, or the neuro-surgical intensive care units. The nurse subjects were registered nurses working in the same three critical care areas. All subjects completed a modified form of Molter and Leske's Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Descriptive measures used to examine data included frequency distributions and measures of central tendency. Two tailed t-tests for independent means were used to compare responses of family members and nurses. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to examine differences in nurse responses according to selected demographic variables. The study's findings revealed: 1) family members ranked informational needs the highest; 2) nurses ranked honesty and communication needs highest; 3) approximately 44% of the needs were ranked significantly differently when family and nurse samples were compared; 4) one need was ranked significantly differently according to the educational level of the nurse; 5) male nurses ranked 6 needs significantly lower than female nurses; 6) critical care experience affected the nurses' sensitivity and needs rankings; and 7) family members and nurses stated that it was the role of nurses to deal with visiting and bedside needs and physicians should answer questions about care. Implications for practice include: the need for an assessment tool to provide family feedback into the health care system; continuing education for critical care nurses to increase sensitivity and awareness; and improved family orientation to the health care system"--Document.
Download or read book Needs of Patient s Families in the Hospital Tele intensive Care Unit written by Mary L. Jahrsdoerfer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To explore, identify and describe the perceptions of family members of a patient admitted to a telemedicine intensive care unit (tele-ICU); and to determine if these needs differ from those established by the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) in the traditional ICU setting. Background: The tele-ICU is a new care modality in which offsite nurses provide consultation to bedside clinical staff at geographically-dispersed ICUs. The last decade demonstrates a growing existence of tele-ICU's in our healthcare culture. 'Information', 'close proximity', 'assurance', 'support' and 'comfort' have been identified as the top five needs of family members in the traditional ICU setting. Yet, we do not know what the family needs are within the tele-ICU context. Significance: The complexity of the tele-ICU adds another dimension to patient-family care, requiring nurses to have appropriate knowledge of family member experiences in order to meet these needs. This study was the first of its kind using face-to-face interviews to focus on the unique perceptions and needs of family members in this new care modality; and a follow-up to the published pilot study by this author. Methods: This was a descriptive study using exploratory inquiry; semi-structured recorded interview method was used with a convenience sample of family-members to assess their experiences, needs, and perceptions while patients received care in a tele-ICU. Conclusion: This study demonstrated significant gaps in communication about the tele-ICU between staff and patients' family. This finding is consistent with the pilot study. Although once informed about the tele-ICU existence and purpose by the investigator, perceptions of the tele-ICU model of care were generally favorable. The fact that 11 of the 16 family-participants interviewed (68.75%) indicated that they had not been informed that the patient was receiving care in a tele-ICU, as well as all 16 (100%) of the respondents never having been introduced to the remote staff, suggests the need for more timely, organized, and proactive communication strategies to inform patients' family members about this novel technology. Improved comprehension of the families' understanding of the role of the tele-ICU in the care of critically ill patient may support their informational needs.

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.
