Filter by:The overall objective of this observational study is to investigate practices of communication and decision-making during nurses' initial assessment of patients' health problems in primary care, examine working mechanisms in good practices and develop feasible solutions. The specific aims are: 1. To investigate patients' expectations and experiences with the communication and decision-making during their first contact with a registered nurse (RN) in primary care. 2. To investigate patient-RN communication on the level of patient involvement. 3. To investigate RNs' actual communication, assessments and decision-making, value conflicts and the challenges and strategies they use in prioritizing. 4. To analyse the underlying working mechanisms of good communication practices. 5. To develop methodologies for facilitating efficient processes in assessing, managing, and prioritizing patients in primary care for RNs. Project PINPOINT aims for a prospective multicenter study, using various methods for data collection and analysis.
This project aims to investigate whether an integrated model based on proactive and reactive telenursing monitoring coordinated by a parkinsonism nurse specialist (case manager) is able to improve care delivery and quality of life of patients with atypical parkinsonisms. This could reduce the risk (e.g. through health education counselling) and the severity of complications (e.g. falls). Main responsibilities of the Co-PI: project idea and supervision, coordination of the study, patient selection and recruitment, patient recruitment, participation in statistical analysis and drafting the manuscript. Co-PI is responsible of the rate of recruitment and drop-out
There are ~85,000 lung cancer patients (LCPs) in the UK; yet only around 8% were recruited into clinical trials in 2021/22. LCPs need opportunities to take part in clinical trials to access new treatments, increasing their quality of life, treatment choices and life expectancy. Discussions with nurses can help patients make better treatment decisions, improving experiences of care. However, research has shown that lung cancer nurses (LCNs) often feel unable to discuss participation in trials with patients due to lack of knowledge, confidence, time and training. This study aims to develop and test a research recruitment tool for LCNs, to support LCPs to enter clinical trials. Objectives include to: - Explore reasons for low uptake of LCPs into clinical trials - Develop a tool for LCNs to talk to patients about clinical trials - Test whether the tool improves the number and quality of discussions nurses have with LCPs about clinical trials The study has four phases: Phase 1: A literature review will identify problems that make clinical trial uptake difficult for LCPs, carers and clinicians Phase 2: Six group discussions with LCNs, patients and carers will explore issues that create potential barriers for patients taking part in clinical trials. The groups will take place online, last approximately one hour and be recorded. Phase 3: Part 1&2 findings will help us develop a LCN research recruitment tool. The tool will contain information on how nurses obtain information about LC clinical trials, research teams, communication issues, practical issues and how to reach LCPs. Phase 4: The research recruitment tool will be tested in four UK NHS hospitals. A survey will identify any changes in nurses' clinical trials awareness and confidence before and after using the tool. Interviews with LCNs, patients and carers will explore their views on the tool, clinical trials participation and experiences of care.
The purpose of this study is to train nurses from the VNS Health Visiting Nurse Service to deliver Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Palliative Care Patients (MCP-PC) to homebound people, and to evaluate how effective MCP-PC is for people with cancer.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the therapeutic touch applied to the sleep patterns of individuals aged 65-85 years with chronic diseases who are treated in the Neurology Intensive Care Unit of Ankara City Hospital, taking into account the circadian cycle.The type of the research is the experimental model with pre-test and post-test control group.Ankara City Hospital has included the research population in the last year. It will consist of 1593 patients between the ages of 65-85 who are hospitalized in the Neurology Intensive Care Unit.Experimental and control groups will be created with simple randomization in randomization.The data were obtained from the socio-demographic characteristics form and the sleep pattern form developed by the researcher. will be collected with
As in the whole world, there is an increase in the elderly population in the TRNC. However, no systematic care is provided for the registration and follow-up of elderly individuals. In this study, it is aimed to determine the health care needs of the elderly with a systematic method with the Omaha Classification System (OSS), which is used in the home care system in the world and in Turkey, and to examine the effectiveness of the nursing interventions applied according to the health care needs of the elderly people. With this method, it is thought that the continuity of monitoring and monitoring the health care needs of elderly individuals with a systematic approach will be ensured.
Becoming a parent is a life-changing event that can be both gratifying and stressful. As a parent, one is responsible for another person, where there sometimes is a need for new information, knowledge, and advice to live up to the new requirements that a changing family situation requires. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a new digital channel in child health care for support of parents in child health care issues with particular focus on eHealth literacy and satisfaction with care. An intervention is planned to run over eight months and will be evaluated in an intervention- and control group (from another health care centre) at baseline, 4 months and at 8 months follow-up. Data includes interviews and questionnaires about parental stress and eHealth literacy as well as satisfaction with care. Data will be analysed with qualitative and statistical methods. Expected outcomes is reduced parental stress and increased satisfaction with child health care.
The introduction of Acute Pain Service (APS), 1985, specialized pain management could be offered to the inpatient care. An example of this is patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), which is a technique that is used mostly after surgery. A PCA pump is an electronic pump that is prepared with pain relief medicine, usually an opioid, which is administered either epidural or intravenously. PCA pumps are programmed with medical protocols. For prevent overdose, there are blocking times between possible bolus doses and a maximum dose per hour. In a Cochrane review from 2015, PCA have shown to be more beneficial for the patient especially when it comes to patient satisfaction, compared to conventional pain relief where nurses administer pain relief on request. The authors could also demonstrate that patients experience less pain and were more satisfied with patient-controlled analgesia. However, studies have showing limitations in the ease of practice of the PCA pumps, which indicates need for further development. Today the major part of the documentation in the Swedish healthcare is computerized. Using digital systems that communicate with each other should be seen as a matter of course. Instead, a human intermediator is commonly used where documentation is performed by pencil and paper. Due to the human factor that may affect the interpretation of the information the patient safety is placed at risk. The elimination of the human intermediator could lead to a safer transfer of information. There are already studies concerning computerized PCA pumps and wireless communication by medical devices, but only studies that are conducted outside of Europe and studies with the technical aspect in focus. Studies have shown that wireless communication by medical devices in the nursing setting can provide support for prioritization and increase the patient safety. However, the field of research lacks of knowledge when it comes to the patients' and nurses' experience of using PCA pumps with wireless communication system. Due to today's research field, further studies will be needed to investigate how documentation can be safeguarded and how accessible information regarding patients' need for pain relief can be linked to prescribed treatment. This may also lead to the development of nurses' way of work with patient-controlled and epidural pain relief in the postoperative pain management.
