This study examined the effects of nurseâ??parent partnership, nursesâ?? attitude to familiesâ??\nimportance in nursing care, and nursing professional self-efficacy on the quality of pediatric nursing\ncare. Background: The quality of pediatric nursing care based on family-centered care is defined by\nthe qualitative care behavior of nurses from the perspective of hospitalized children and their families.\nMethods: The participants were 218 nurses in pediatric wards in hospitals. Data were collected\nusing self-report questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearsonâ??s correlation\ncoefficient, and path analysis. Results: Among the factors influencing the perceived quality of respect,\nexplanation, and skillfulness, nurse experience showed the greatest total effect. The nurseâ??parent\npartnership had the greatest direct effect on the quality of respect and the greatest total effect on\nkindness. Nursing professional self-efficacy showed the greatest direct effect on explanation and\nthe largest total effect on nurseâ??parent partnership and nursesâ?? attitude to familiesâ?? importance in\nnursing care. Conclusions: To improve the quality of pediatric nursing care, it is necessary to provide\na working environment in which pediatric nurses can work continuously. Hospitals should also\ndevelop a program that enables proper collaboration between nurses and parents of hospitalized\nchildren and improves nursing professional self-efficacy...
Inter-professional collaboration is a process in which health professionals from different\ndisciplines work together, sharing their ideas and opinions to plan evidence-based care. Nurses and\ndoctors spend most of their time providing direct patient care. Therefore, effective interprofessional\ncollaboration may be important in ensuring safe and effective patient care. There are no systematic\nreviews that have evaluated the association between nurseâ??doctor collaboration and patient outcomes\nin medical and surgical settings. We will conduct a systematic search of five key databases MEDLINE,\nEMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and the Cochrane register. We will include observational and\nexperimental research that tests the association between levels of inter-professional collaboration\nand medical and surgical inpatient mortality. Two reviewers will independently conduct title and\nabstract, full-text screening, and data extraction. The Effective Public Health Practice (EPHPP) tool\nwill be used to determine the quality of the included studies. If sufficient studies are available, we will\nundertake a meta-analysis. The protocol is registered with the international prospective register of\nsystematic reviews (PROSPERO-CRD42019133543)....
In the context of population aging, enhancing the health of older patients has become an\nurgent issue for public health. Health education and health literacy need to be further understood\nfrom the healthcare providersâ?? standpoint to increase older patientsâ?? effective application of such\ninformation into their daily lives. We aimed to further understand nursesâ?? perspectives on the\neducation of older patients and their health literacy, as nurses are one of the frontline providers\ninteracting with older patients. In total, 16 nurses and nurse practitioners who had 5 or more\nyears of clinical experience participated. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews and emails.\nData analysis followed the thematic analysis suggested by Braun and Clarke. Five themes emerged\nfrom the analysis, as follows: attitudes that are hard to change; physical and cognitive functional\nbarriers to understanding teaching materials; family caregivers--surrogate vs. gatekeeper; major\ncontexts that moderate the elderlyâ??s health literacy; and strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness\nand health literacy. These findings illustrate the conditions pertinent to communication with older\nadults from the patientsâ??, providersâ?? and healthcare delivery viewpoints. Systemic assistance and\ninterventions specialized for older patients and their healthcare providers need to be developed and\ntested to improve clinical practice and patient health literacy....
This study aimed to analyze parentsâ?? perspectives of the health education practice provided\nby health professionals to children and parents. This is a descriptive research with a qualitative\napproach, based on the conceptual framework of health education provided by health professionals\nto children/young people and families. The selection took place by non-probabilistic sampling of\nconvenience, and was developed with parents/users of health units for pediatric hospitalization and\nprimary health care in northern Portugal. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with\n20 parents from March to April 2019, and were analyzed using the content analysis technique. Health\neducation was understood to enhance health, and the evaluation was carried out according to planning\nand partnership. The most frequent topics were food, the national vaccination plan, and accident\nprevention. The evaluation shown is very positive, pointing to the nurse as the professional of choice\nfor this practice and thus contributing to the visibility of nursing. We can state that the perspectives\nof parents about the health education carried out by health professionals show a practice that values\nhealth; is adaptable to the complexity of the binomial child and parents; is capable of influencing\nhealth determinants with sustainability, efficacy, and effectiveness; and gives visibility to nursesâ??\npositions as health educators....
Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is expected to increase from 7.7% in 2017 to 8.4%\nin 2045 worldwide. Diabetes complications contribute to morbidity and mortality. To evaluate whether the diabetes\ncomplications severity index (DCSI) was associated with increased risks of mortality and hospitalization.\nMethods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Database (NHID)\nsample cohort of 1,102,047 patients (2002â??2015) in Korea. Diabetes complications were evaluated at 2 years after\nthe initial diagnosis and during the subsequent follow-up period .......................
