Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to study the relationship between the knowledge of the usefulness of the nursing care plan and the attitude of nurses toward the plan/care planning process. The independent variable involved attendance at an educational program which impacted on the dependent variable of attitude. The hypothesis for the study was: nurses who attend a nursing care planning process educationa1, program would exhibit more positive attitudes regarding the usefulness of the nursing plan process than nurses who did not participate in the educational program. Thirty participants all possessing diploma school educations with one to six years registered nurse experience were chosen by accidental sampling. Fifteen attended an educational program and fifteen did not. All completed a tool measuring attitude towards nursing care plans. Attitude tools were distributed and collected by a volunteer. The t-test findings indicated that there was no significant difference in attitude towards the nursing care planning process of those nurses who attended the educational program compared to those who did not. Therefore the hypothesis was rejected. Recommendations for further study include validating and testing reliability of tool, studying various levels of educational groups, randomization of sample population and securing demographic data of participants.

This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

Download or read book Knowledge Translation in Health Care written by Sharon E. Straus and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care systems worldwide are faced with the challenge of improving the quality of care. Providing evidence from health research is necessary but not sufficient for the provision of optimal care and so knowledge translation (KT), the scientific study of methods for closing the knowledge-to-action gap and of the barriers and facilitators inherent in the process, is gaining significance. Knowledge Translation in Health Care explains how to use research findings to improve health care in real life, everyday situations. The authors define and describe knowledge translation, and outline strategies for successful knowledge translation in practice and policy making. The book is full of examples of how knowledge translation models work in closing the gap between evidence and action. Written by a team of authors closely involved in the development of knowledge translation this unique book aims to extend understanding and implementation worldwide. It is an introductory guide to an emerging hot topic in evidence-based care and essential for health policy makers, researchers, managers, clinicians and trainees.
