This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clinical learning experience is an essential part of nursing education that is often anxiety provoking. Understanding the factors associated with the anxiety levels of nursing students in clinical placements has become more complex over the years with the increasing heterogeneity of the nursing population. Associations between student demographics and their anxiety levels in the clinical setting have not yet been explored in the research literature. The questions guiding this descriptive correlational study are as follows: What is the anxiety level of students as determined by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)? Is there a relationship between students' age, gender, previous employment, and previous education and their selfperceived anxiety levels? The framework for this study is situated cognition theory. The data provided through the study revealed that nursing students have a higher than average level of anxiety. The data revealed no statistical significant correlations involving age, previous education, previous employment, and self-perceived anxiety levels. There was a statistically significant difference between the anxiety scores of the female group and those of the male group, with males reporting higher levels of anxiety. The data provide an opportunity for discussion and identify the need for future research and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to succeed in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), nursing students need to know not just what an OSCE involves, but how to undertake the skill correctly at each OSCE station. This book is a complete guide on how to prepare for an OSCE with step-by-step instructions for the ten most common OSCE stations that nursing students can face. Specific stations range from asceptic non-touch technique, communication and observations, to more highly pressured skills such as medication administration, resuscitation and assessing a deteriorating patient.

Download or read book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an established link between miscommunication and poor patient outcomes (The Joint Commission, 2015). Ineffective communication between patients and health personnel has been a major contributor of medication errors. When there is miscommunication between patients and the interprofessional team, patient safety is affected. Effective communication and decreased anxiety in nursing students can narrow the gap between theory and practice, decrease medical errors, and improve patient clinical outcomes (Shitu et al., 2018). Communication is pivotal to building a fiduciary relationship between the nursing student, patient, and interprofessional team. The Joint Commission has supported improving communication as a priority for improving patient safety since 2006. Delayed treatment, misdiagnosis, medication errors, patient injury, or death have been attributed to ineffective communication in healthcare and has made effective communication a global priority (ACSQHC, 2012; IPEC, 2011). Nursing students are challenged to communicate effectively with patients and other members of the interprofessional team in their clinical practicum, which creates anxiety due to lack of preparedness to communicate. When anxiety is present, it affects the students' level of confidence, competence, and communication; which has a direct relationship with patient safety and the quality of care provided to patients (Shuti et al., 2018). Nursing education has fallen behind on identifying and implementing evidence-based practices in communication (WHO, 2016). This study aimed to evaluate the self-perceived communication competence using the Self-Perceived Communication Competency (SPCC) survey and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y) survey to measure anxiety levels in second-semester Associate-Degree nursing students who participated in targeted clinical simulations focused on communication with patient and other members of the interprofessional team prior to attending their first medical-surgical nursing clinical practicum in the hospital setting. There were three levels of data collection. The first level collected demographic information, SPCC and STAI-Y survey responses. The second level collected SPCC and STAI-Y surveys post-simulation and the third level collected SPCC and STAI-Y survey reponses post-clinical attendance. The results were analyzed using the Microsoft Excel ToolPak to determine whether there was a change in self-perceived communication competency and anxiety levels after participating in targeted clinical simulations. An aggregated mean of 20% was established as a conservative benchmark. The results showed a mean pre-simulation SPCC score of 76.3%, post-simulation score of 86.9%, and post-clinical score of 93.7% attendance, which indicated an aggregate mean of 22.8% improvement in self-perceived communication competence from baseline, 2.8% above the benchmark of 20%. The results also showed a mean pre-simulation STAI-Y score of 56.7%, post-simulation score of 48.8%, and post-clinical attendance score of 43%, which indicated an aggregate mean of 24.2% decrease in anxiety from baseline, 4.2% above the benchmark of 20%. The EBP change project highlighted the importance of implementing targeted simulations to improve communication and decrease anxiety in second-semester Associate Degree nursing students. The responses indicated that targeted simulations can potentially impact the overall performance of the nursing students and prepare them for future roles as graduate nurses in healthcare; which will ultimately positively impact the safe delivery of healthcare. It is suggested that clinical simulations may have implications for improving communication and decreasing anxiety in nursing students and should be further explored. Keywords: targeted clinical simulations, communication, anxiety, associate degree nursing students, nursing practice, education, clinical practicum, interprofessional team and transition.

Download or read book Health Promotion in Health Care Vital Theories and Research written by Gørill Haugan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.
