Filter by:The integration of complementary medicine in supportive and palliative cancer care (i.e., Integrative Oncology) is becoming more prevalent in many of the leading oncology centers in Israel and worldwide. Guidelines for these practices, as established by the Society for Integrative Oncology, were adopted in 2018 by the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The proposed study will be conducted within a pragmatic, randomized and controlled format, and will examine the impact of a nurse-guided intervention on 540 oncology patients undergoing Integrative Oncology treatments for quality of life (QOL)-related concerns during adjuvant/neo-adjuvant or curative/palliative treatments. Patients in both study arms will undergo patient-tailored integrative treatments, which will include manual and relaxation therapies, acupuncture and lifestyle changes. The integrative treatments will be provided by trained integrative oncology practitioners. Patients in the intervention arm of the study will receive additional nurse-guided instruction in the self-administration of manual therapies, relaxation, lifestyle changes and traditional medicine practices.
A randomized, controlled trial was conducted for 73 Chineses nurses from The Second Xiangya Hospitcal of Central South University (33 in the experimental group, 40 in the control group). The experimental group received a six-month Wechat-based "three good things" positive psychotherapy from August 2015 to January 2016, while the control group only received normal psychological instruction from the hospital. A socio-demographic sheet, Malsach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, the Turnover Intention Scale, The Job Satisfaction Scale, The Job Performance Scale, General Self-efficacy Scale, The Trait Coping Style Scale (TCSS), The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to collect data prior to and immdediately after the intervention. The blood cortisol was also evaluated prior to and immdediately after the intervention. SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square test, repeated-measures analysis and T-test were employed to analyse the effect of "three good things" intervention on nurse burnout. We hypothesis that the "three good things" positive psychotherapy could alleviate nurses' burnout, turnover intention, improve their job performance, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, resilience, introduce nurses' to use positive coping strategies to overcome adversities. Moreover, their blood cortisol would be reduced after the intervention.
.A surgical intervention involves the participant and his / her family in a very stressful situation with a biopsychosocial alteration of the participant, often presenting a lack of knowledge of the surgical process from admission to hospital discharge. Researchers (nursing) began to make prior visits to the surgical procedure to reduce anxiety and provide information about the surgical process. The importance of the presurgical nursing visit (PNV) is sought, how to achieve a better health education throughout the surgical process, improve communication between professionals through standardized records, contributing to an optimal approach to the participant, increasing well-being, health and the satisfaction of the participant
Objective: The aim of the first part of this study with two stages is to determine prevalence of CVD risk and the associated variables in individuals aged 40-65 years registered in a Family Health Center (FHC) in city center of Antalya; the aim of the second one is to evaluate the effect of intervention to increase physical activity in individuals with moderate risk of CVD on decreasing the risk level. Methods: Stage 1 and Stage 2 were conducted as cross-sectional and Randomized Controlled Experimental Trial, respectively. In the first stage the CVD risk level was calculated using the HeartScore. In the second stage, 11 individuals with moderate CVD risk (2-<5%) found in the intervention group participated into a 12-week physical activity program (a moderate walk outdoor, with group 5 days in a week, each lasting for 40 minutes) guided by nurse. CVD brochure and physical activity guide was distributed to 11 individuals in control group within the scope of routine practice of FHCs.
The aim of this Randomised Controlled study was to determine the effect of nursing interventions based on Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Theory on uncertainty, hopelessness, coping and compliance for care givers' of children with cancer. Sample was 46 (experimental group:23; control group: 23) cara givers of children. Experimental group received nursing interventions (6 modules, 200 minutes nursing education) based on Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Theory while control group received routine hospital care. Data were collected 3 times: pre test, post test (2 weeks after intervention for experimental group or two weeks after from pretest for control group), and follow up (2 weeks after post tests).
A mobile support application will be developed that will support mothers in the postpartum period and will be tested the effects of application on anxiety and depression symptoms.The study will consist of two phases. The first phase of the action research (participant design method) method will be done to provide postpartum mobile support application. In the second stage, postpartum mobile support application will be evaluated for the anxiety and depression symptoms of the mothers after six weeks of use.
The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) ambitious goal for at least 90% of clinical decisions to be evidence-based includes nursing interventions and practice. Models and frameworks have been developed to meet the demand for practice transformation. While magnet facilities require a commitment to evidence-based nursing practice, military facilities currently lack such a requirement but are instituting evidence-based practice (EBP) initiatives in a purposeful path toward developing high-reliability organizations. Currently, little is known regarding the effectiveness of specific EBP models and frameworks within the military culture. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of the Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC) model in an Air Force Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) beginning with nursing services. Research questions: 1. What is the current state of organizational culture and readiness for EBP within the MTF's nursing services? 2. Will utilization of the ARCC model significantly improve EBP beliefs, knowledge, and practice in MTF nurses over a two-year period? 3. Is the ARCC model feasible for implementation in Air Force MTF's? This study includes an intervention group (n=70) of active duty nurses and technicians who attend an intensive 5-day EBP Immersion Workshop and a control group (n=70) who do not. The intervention group will have access to specialized resources such as: a) Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-Based Practice (CTEP) expert EBP mentors, b) EBP toolkit and resources, c) one year of free access to the Ohio State University (OSU) virtual library. Control group participants will have standard MTF education opportunities. Established valid and reliable survey measures (EBP attitudes, knowledge, beliefs) will be hosted electronically by CTEP at baseline, three, and twelve months. Online measures include institutional and nursing process measures (EBP implementation, policy changes, and publications) over the two-year study period. De-identified data from the anonymous survey measures will be shared by CTEP with this study team. Data analysis will include Student's t-tests to explore differences between groups. Repeated measures ANOVA or the nonparametric equivalent (Friedman's test or Skillings-Mack test) will be used to compare three time points within groups. Feasibility metrics and demographics will be reported with descriptive statistics.
This research project will evaluate a gamified electronic medication administration record (eMAR) system simulator as a mechanism to improve students' learning of medication administration in simulated clinical education. The gamified eMAR simulator will be evaluated using a pragmatic randomized controlled trial design in order to determine the effectiveness of the game as a technology-enabled, online learning intervention.

This multicenter randomized (block randomization) controlled parallel arm pilot study comparing the incorporation vs no incorporation of a Nurse Pain Educator into clinics that treat chronic non cancer pain patients with opioid analgesics. Subjects who are either opioid naïve or opioid experienced will be enrolled into the study.
