Filter by:This study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based education given to individuals with substance-use disorder according to Self-Efficacy Theory on self-efficacy perception. Sample was 112 (ewperimental group: 56; control group: 56) alpha=0,05 and power=0,80 et the and of study. The experimental group recevied, prepared in accordance with mindfulness, self-efficacy theory psychoeducation program, the control group received routine care. Data were collected 2 times: pretest, 2 month after intervention (for experimental group) and 2 month after pretest (for control group).
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Meleis 'Transition Theory based health improvement monitoring program on infants' development, maternal attachment and parental self-efficacy in 36-40 weeks of gestation and in the first and fourth months after birth. Sample was 64 (experimental group:32; control group: 32), alfa=0,05 and power=0.80 at the end of study. The experimental group received nursing interventions based on Meleis' Transition Theory, while the control group received routine primary health care. Data were collected 3 times: pretest, 3 and 7 months after intervention (for experimental group) and 3 and 7 months after pretest (for control group).
Audit and feedback (A&F) aims to improve practices by providing professionals with a summary of their performance. A major limitation to its effectiveness is a persistent intention-action gap following the feedback that prevents the translation of planned actions into concrete changes in practice. In nursing, the lack of coordination within nursing teams contributes to this gap and therefore limits their capacity for action. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of an A&F intervention enhanced with an action support component on the primary care nursing teams' capacity to improve performance compared to a standard A&F intervention. A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial with analysis of implementation fidelity will be conducted. Four nursing organizations will receive standard A&F, while the other four will receive A&F with a support component. We will measure performance using clinical administrative data from an electronic database based on wound care episodes. Performance indicators will be measured 3 times: at the beginning of the study (T1), after 6 months (T2) and after 12 months (T3). The feedback meetings will take place between times 1 and 2, then between times 2 and 3. The intervention group will receive the support component in the form of structured focus groups in addition to the feedback meetings. Changes in rates of seven nursing-sensitive indicators (continuity, planning and adjusting of the treatment plan, initial assessment, education, frequency and number of consultations and duration of episodes) will be measured to evaluate the effects of A&F on performance. The results are expected to inform of the effectiveness of A&F in order to improve its design and deployment. The potential impact on the improvement of practices is significant, considering that wound care is one of the main conditions in primary care for which nursing staff have a high degree of autonomy.
The study will be conducted in 2 phases (A and B) using two different groups of patients in order to prove that an early prescription of radiography using the Ottawa Ankle Rules by a nurse practitioner could shorten length of stay of a patient suffering from ankle trauma at the Hospital Center of Saint-Brieuc.
Interest of training in procedural simulation of nurses in the reduction of complications related to arteriovenous fistula puncture in hemodialysis patients
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.
Home HD (HHD) is associated with better outcome in end-stage renal disease patients compared to in-center HD, in particular in terms of quality of life. However fear of AVF cannulation is a known barrier for patient's choice and adoption of a HHD program. Providing nurse assistance for the cannulation can help developing HHD programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of assisted home hemodialysis, with the intervention of a nurse at home for arterio-venous fistula cannulation.
.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.
