This book was released on 2018 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical errors have an increasing prevalence in the healthcare system today, and communication is often at the heart of many of these issues. Challenges or difficulties for nurses in communicating about errors, as well as instances of nursing silence about errors, have been noted in the healthcare and nursing literature. While numerous studies have noted constraints and difficulties in speaking up about errors, no studies were found that examined silence in specific relationship to the nurse practice environment and patient safety. The primary purpose of this study was to explore how the nursing practice environment influences nursing silence and patient safety. The secondary purpose was to examine the reliability of the Four Forms of Employee Silence Scale by Knoll and van Dick (2013) for use in the nursing population. A predictive, correlational research design was used. Several variables were examined, including perceptions of the nurse practice environment, preferences and motives for silence, and perceptions of patient safety. Ninety one registered nurses completed an electronic survey via the Internet which contained 58 questions. Parametric and non-parametric statistics were used for data analysis. The data revealed that the perception of the nurse practice environment is a predictor of both preferences for silence, and the perception of patient safety. In addition, findings were that nurses working in Magnet® practice environments do not differ significantly from those in Non-Magnet® practice environments in terms of silence behaviors related to the observation of errors. Results suggest that feelings of fear and lack of value sometimes exist among nurses in both Magnet® and Non-Magnet® organizations. Despite the promotion of collaborative relationships, participation, and feedback by Magnet® organizations, these activities do not seem to result in less frequent silence behaviors among registered nurses working in these organizations. Finally, the Four Forms of Employee Silence Scale was noted to be a reliable scale for use in the nursing population. Based upon the findings, implications and recommendations for future study are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

Download or read book Rural Nurses Perceptions of Disruptive Behavior and Clinical Outcomes written by Kara Marie Addison and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disruptive behavior in the healthcare setting is considered a major threat to patient safety, patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and interdisciplinary relationships. The Institution of Medicine estimated that over 44,000 to 98,000 people die related to medical errors (2000). The Joint Commission suggests that disruptive behavior is one of the leading causes of adverse events in the healthcare setting (2008). The purpose of this study was to evaluate Montana nurses perceptions of disruptive behavior and its impacts on interdisciplinary relationships, patient safety, and patient outcomes while working in rural hospitals. This study was a replication-extension study based on Rosenstein & O'Daniel's research in 2008. Rosenstein's survey was used to assess perceptions of disruptive behavior in the healthcare environment. This survey was sent out to 120 rural nurses in Montana. Fifty-nine participants completed the survey resulting in a 49% response rate. One hundred percent of nurses indicated that disruptive behavior could have a potential negative effect on patient outcomes. Over 45% of nurses indicated that they were personally aware of an adverse event that occurred from disruptive behavior and 82.2% of nurses indicated this event could have been prevented. Nurse indicated that both nurse and physician disruptive behavior was prevalent in the rural healthcare setting. Also, participants indicated that disruptive behavior could be linked to increased stress, frustration, loss of concentration, reduced team collaboration, frustration, reduced information transfer, reduced communication, and impaired RN/MD relationships. Results from this survey demonstrated that disruptive behavior can lead to adverse events, compromises in patient safety and quality, and finally decrease overall interdisciplinary relationships. These findings have important implications for patient safety and effective interdisciplinary relationships and support the development of effective policy implementation to address and mange such behavior.

The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.
