Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine students' perceived confidence to provide culturally competent care. The literature showed a lack of empirical studies investigating the confidence of nurses and nursing students in providing culturally competent care. Therefore, the research question was, "What are Southwest Missouri senior baccalaureate student nurses' self-perceptions of their competence in providing cultural care for diverse ethnic clients?" A convenience sample of baccalaureate nursing students, enrolled during the fall 2009 semester, from two universities in Southwestern Missouri were recruited for this study. Students completed the Bernal and Froman's Cultural Self-efficacy Scale (CSES). This study found that the participants' self-perceived cultural knowledge, concepts, patterns, and transcultural nursing skills ranged between 3 (neutral) and 4 (moderate confidence) on the Likert scale 1 to 5. Based on the computed subscales of the CSES, the score of the total self-efficacy was 194.53, which means the participants rated themselves as neutral to moderately competent. The study found that there is a minimal increase in the self-perceived confidence levels of cultural competence compared to other studies in the Midwest.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals facing serious life-threatening illnesses and approaching death deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. They deserve to receive care that focuses on the individuals goals for care. Their families need and deserve to receive support as well. Unfortunately, the way end of life is handled in today's medical settings has much to do with what healthcare professionals consider to be their obligation, not only what such obligations are, but also to whom they are owed. Much has been written about the limited amount of end-of-life care education and training medical and nursing students receive in their respective programs in the United States. Research on end-of-life care instruction in baccalaureate nursing programs in the State of New Jersey shows that many programs integrate the subject of death and dying into their curriculum. Currently, only two programs have courses that are specifically on end-of life. Thus, a great majority of nursing students graduate without sufficient instruction on end-of-life care or have ever taken care of a patient who is in the stages of dying. Nurses take care of patients who are sick and patients who are dying; it is surprising that little attention is given to a subject that is so important to the human spirit. Nurses need to have preparation in order to achieve an understanding of the dynamics that occur when a patient is dying. They need to be able to care for the patient and the family during this crucial time. Our students are not being given the fundamental knowledge or the clinical experiences that will allow them to achieve a comfort level in this area. This dissertation compares two methodologies used in teaching end-of-life care to determine which provides the best outcome for learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to answer the question: Is there a difference in the acquired knowledge of end-of-life nursing care and concerns about caring for dying patients of senior nursing students who complete an end-of-life nursing course during their undergraduate education compared with students who do not complete an end-of-life course? This question postulates potential difference between groups in knowledge of end-of-life care and related concern about dealing with death and dying. In this study, the independent variable is educational treatment through an end-of-life elective course and the dependent variable is any resulting change in knowledge and concern."--leaf 11.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The existence of death anxiety among nursing students negatively impacts their care of dying patients. The literature indicates that preparation for end-of-life care is inconsistent and insufficient in undergraduate nursing curricula, resulting in patient avoidance and inadequate end-of life nursing care. The purpose of this clinical project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence- based educational program on death anxiety levels among students in a baccalaureate nursing program. The forty hour program was carried out over two nonconsecutive weekends and was comprised of experiential, clinical and didactic interventions. Transformative learning theory was used in the implementation of interventions, and the Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change was used to guide the project. The outcome demonstrated a 16% mean reduction in death anxiety levels among the eighteen students who participated, as measured by the Templer Death Anxiety Scale. The project demonstrated that death anxiety levels among nursing students can be effectively reduced through systematic implementation of experiential, clinical and didactic interventions. Inclusion of end-of-life education within nursing curricula can reduce death anxiety among students and precipitate better care for terminal patients. Key words: nursing students; death anxiety; end-of-life care; palliative care; nursing curricula; death education " -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student nurses are involved in caring for patients who are actively dying or who have been told they have a terminal illness and are faced with the process of dying. Students encounter these patients in hospitals, nursing homes, at home or in hospice care settings. According to Robinson (2004), "nurses are the healthcare providers that are most often with individuals at the end of their lives" (p. 89). Nurses should be knowledgeable about end-of-life care. Studies show that only 0.41% of nurses are certified in palliative care (Means to a better end, 2004). Nursing students often have a difficult time coping with the stress that comes with caring for those who are dying (Johannsson and Lalley, 1990-91). Student nurses need to be prepared to take an active role in caring for patients who are dying or have been told they have a terminal illness. Students are in clinical settings where they may encounter death and dying. These settings include hospitals, nursing homes, and community/home care areas. Understanding students' perceptions of death and dying can help educators prepare students for these situations by using the research available to plan better ways to teach students about the needs of the dying/terminal patient and their family. These needs include physical, spiritual, emotional and social. A qualitative investigation with thirteen junior level nursing students from a large urban university in Northeast Ohio was used in the research. Findings revealed that an emphasis on the domains of thoughts, feelings, communication, multicultural diversity, education and coping mechanisms are essential in nursing education. Participants reported a need for additional education in the area of communication and culturally responsive care. This study suggests that there is a great need to educate students about death and dying, cultural competence, communication skills and coping with emotional stress.

Download or read book Culturally Competent Compassion written by Irena Papadopoulos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the crucially important topics of cultural competence and compassion for the first time, this book explores how to practise ‘culturally competent compassion’ in healthcare settings – that is, understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it using culturally appropriate and acceptable caring interventions. This text first discusses the philosophical and religious roots of compassion before investigating notions of health, illness, culture and multicultural societies. Drawing this information together, it then introduces two invaluable frameworks for practice, one of cultural competence and one of culturally competent compassion, and applies them to care scenarios. Papadopoulos goes on to discuss: how nurses in different countries understand and provide compassion in practice; how students learn about compassion; how leaders can create and champion compassionate working environments; and how we can, and whether we should, measure compassion. Culturally Competent Compassion is essential reading for healthcare students and its combination of theoretical content and practice application provides a relevant and interesting learning experience. The innovative model for practice presented here will also be of interest to researchers exploring cultural competence and compassion in healthcare.
