Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care in Nursing addresses the fundamental caring principles, values, and skills nurses require to provide sound care to their patients and to meet the challenges of nursing in the future. Exploring essential knowledge and competencies, the authors explore research, evidence and real life practice before outlining practical skills which will empower nurses to deliver quality care. Written by nurses and health professionals from both practice and academia, Care in Nursing explores how care underpins every element of nursing including: patient centred care, cultural diversity, sociology, psychology, communication, partnership working, law and ethics, management and leadership, and more. A specific chapter also addresses how nurses can develop self-care techniques to meet the pressures and demands of a challenging yet ultimately rewarding career. Relevant to nurses in all fields and a diverse range of clinical and non-clinical settings, this is essential reading for nursing students, qualified nurses, mentors, nursing academics as well as nurse managers and leaders.
Download or read book Effect of Relationship based Care on Patient Satisfaction written by Paula M. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "PICO (Population, intervention, comparison group, outcome) question: In hospitalized medical/surgical patients, what is the effect of relationship-based care on patient satisfaction compared to standard care? Over the past decade, the measurement of patient satisfaction has led to an increased appreciation of the significance of the patient experience, their expectations and perceptions of the care they receive. Patient satisfaction is no longer simply the "nice" or "right thing" to do if you have time. In the current highly competitive environment, it is a necessary business choice. Satisfied customers are loyal and may be counted on for repeat business or for recommendations of the hospital leading to increased revenue, market share, profitability, and better clinical outcomes. Patient satisfaction, patient safety, and clinical outcomes all go together to formulate the patient experience and should not be viewed separately. The author like other hospital nursing administrators plans to focus the care delivery model around the patient experience. The setting for this study is a 49 bed acute care community hospital. A relationship-based care delivery model, incorporating patient centered care and nurse caring will be implemented on a 36 bed medical/surgical unit. Staff on this unit has been delivering standard care based on a biophysical model emphasizing clinical diagnosis and treatment. Patient satisfaction scores have been below goal as have the scores on the HCAPHS survey. Patient satisfaction has become an important indicator of quality care and financial success of healthcare institutions. Hospital administrators are focusing their delivery of medical and surgical services around the patient experience. The importance of nurse caring behaviors and that nurse caring is an important predictor of patient satisfaction needs to be acknowledged (Dingman et aI., 1999). Satisfaction with nurse caring is a measure of organizational effectiveness in creating a caring environment and meeting patient's expectations. Patients' expectations are those responses that are situation specific, influenced by environmental factors, experience, and properties of the situation. Nurse socialization regarding caring behaviors and attitudes and displaying them is needed to have a service-oriented culture. The match between patient expectations of nurse caring and the caring actually received is expressed as patient satisfaction (Greeneich, 1993). No universal definition of caring exists but Watson (1985) defined caring as a fundamental value that guides nurses' ethical decision making and provides a basis for nurse caring actions. Nurses provide direct patient care and spend more time with patients than any other healthcare worker and therefore, need to be concerned about meeting patients' needs in a caring manner. In recent years, the model of patient care shifted from a standardized, one-size-fits-all to a patient-centered approach, with the aim of improving the quality of care (McLaughlin & Kaluzny, 2000). Patient-centeredness goes beyond clinical care and provides the patient with a very personal experience. Scalise (2003) notes the following eight dimensions that encompass a complete patientcentered experience: Access to care, continuity and transition to home, coordination of care, emotional support, information and education, involvement of family and friends, physical comfort, and respect for patient preferences. Patient-centered care has been defined as health care that establishes a partnership among practitioners, patients and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients' wants, needs and preferences and solicit patients' input on the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care (Kohn, Corrigan & Donaldson, 1999). The Institute of Medicine defined a model of patient-centered health care that includes six criteria for improving the quality of health care in the United States. ..." -- from Introduction.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aim: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore and describe the level of understanding of PU development and prevention and perceptions of implementing PU prevention measures in nurses caring for patients in medical-surgical units. Method: The study was conducted in three (3) community hospitals within the same healthcare system using an Interpretive Description approach. Six (6) focus groups were conducted including thirty (30) participants. Findings: Participants described their knowledge of PU development and prevention as good and perceived continuing education as important in maintaining knowledge levels. Two (2) methods of identifying patients at risk for PU development were described: the Braden Scale and common patient diagnoses and conditions known to be associated with patients at risk for PU. Factors perceived to facilitate nurses' implementation of PU prevention measures included personal motivation, use of evidence-based treatment protocols, availability of expert consultants, and leadership support. Barriers to nurses' implementation of PU prevention measures perceived by study participants included the need to prioritize competing patient needs; lack of equipment and supplies; inadequate numbers and competency of staff; patient's lack of or inability to cooperate; and family involvement. Finally, regulatory mandates limiting payment for hospital acquired PU were perceived by participants as a necessary measure and positive motivator in their implementation of PU prevention measures. Implications: Additional studies are needed to further describe differences between medical versus surgical patients and settings, the influence of patient families on nurses' ability to provide care, and the influence of nurse leader and organizational culture on nurse motivation and performance. Organizations should implement evidence-based practice protocols, continue to provide ongoing education regarding PU prevention measures, and seriously consider adoption of the Wound Care Nurse role.
