Filter by:The aim of the study is to determine the effect of nurse health education and follow up program on sun protection behaviors of children. The study as a randomized controlled group was implemented in February- October 2014 in Turkey. After obtaining the parents' and the children's written consent, data were collected through face-to-face interviews using, the instruments (stages of change, the decisional balance scale, child and parental sun protection behavior form, self-efficacy form) on sun protection based on the transtheoretical model.
MS is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. Canada and Alberta, have the highest prevalence of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in the world. To keep PwMS as functional as possible, a multi-disciplinary team is considered essential in the approach to treating people with MS. Because of the high numbers of PwMS in Northern Alberta, private-practice general neurologists provide care to a large number of PwMS outside of a multi-disciplinary tertiary care setting. It is challenging for these general neurologists with busy office practices to deliver optimal care to PwMS who have high care needs. The investigators wish to evaluate the effects of nurse practitioner (NP) led care for PwMS on their depression and anxiety levels at 3 and 6 months compared to "usual care' (community neurologists and MS registered nurses) in addition to measuring quality of life for PwMS and their caregivers, fatigue levels, monitor their outpatient healthcare usage and patient's satisfaction of care provided. The investigators wish to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial examining NP intervention care for PwMS. It is hypothesized that PwMS whose care is managed by an NP will have less depression and anxiety (as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS) at 3 months.
This study aims to investigate the effect of education and tele-consultancy intervention based on Watson's Human Care Theory on self-efficacy and quality of life of individuals with COPD.
Opioid analgesics used in moderate or severe pain have potential side effects and addiction. Therefore, nurses have hesitations about opioid administration.This descriptive study aimed to evaluate the attitude and knowledge of nurses working in a university hospital about opioids. One hundred twenty-seven nurses were interviewed in the research population. The research data were obtained from the questionnaire, prepared by the researchers, between 01-05 June 2018. It consisted of three parts: descriptive characteristics, attitudes, and knowledge on opioid administration, and evaluation of basic nursing skills and pharmacology about opioids. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 24.0 package program was used for statistical analysis.
Effect of Self-Directed Versus Traditional Clinical Learning Model on Nurses' Airway Management Competencies and Patients' Airway Related Incidents Introduction Airway crisis situations in ICUs (Intensive Care Units) are common, complex, dynamic and time-sensitive contexts, that pose a significant threat to patient safety, and are a major source of preventable errors. Airway management has the highest priority in patient care, it is the first step in the (ABCDE) approach. The concept of Airway management in nursing perspective includes any nursing procedures and techniques required to keep the airway open and prevent aspiration. Adult learning is a practice in which adults engage in systematic and sustained learning activities in order to gain new forms of knowledge, skills or values. Most adult education is voluntary; therefore, the participants are generally self-motivated. Continuing education (CE) of nurses is increasingly necessary to keep abreast of rapid changes in patient care due to advancements in knowledge and technology and improve their ability to serve the patients safely. Although nursing care has been changed significantly over the past 30 years, methods for clinical training nurses have not. A popular or traditional model for clinical teaching of nurses, including but not limited to; integrating lectures, skills laboratory training and supervised clinical experience. A benefit of this model is the opportunity to assist nurses to integrate the concept learned in class or skill lab in patient care. Also, the instructor can select clinical activities that best meet nurses' needs and are consistent with hospital goals. While, Self-directed learning (SDL) is one of modern approaches of clinical learning, the concept of SDL originates from the Adult Learning Theory, it is a process in which the instructors play a facilitating role while, learners actively participate in identifying their own learning needs, learning goals, allocating resources & decide whether learning method can be used, and engaging in self-reflection & evaluation. The positive outcomes of SDL including but not limited to, greater self-control, self-confidence, autonomy, and lifelong learning skills. In essence the aim of this study will be examining the effect of Self-directed clinical learning model as compared to the traditional models to improve nurses' Airway management competencies and minimize airway related incidents. Research Hypothesis H1: Critically care nurses who will approach self-directed clinical learning model (μ1) will have a higher level of Airway management skills (μ2), (H1: μ1 > μ2). H1: Intensive care units who will approach self-directed clinical learning model to learn their working nurses (μ1) will have a lower frequency of patients' airway-related incidents (μ2), (H1: μ1 < μ2). Subjects and Methods True experimental, prospective, and comparative research design will be utilized in the current study. This study will be conducted at selected two Adult Intensive Care Units, A convenience sample of 60 male and female Critically Care Nurses who are working in the selected Intensive Care Unit, will be recruited to the study. The sample size estimated by (G Power analysis) (independent t tests - One tail, Effect size = 0.65, α = 0.05, Power (1-β) = 0.80, balanced allocation ratio 1:1). The total sample size will be divided into two groups (study and control). All nurses should be corresponded to specific inclusion criteria. Five tools will be formulated to collect data pertinent to the study. Procedure The study will be conducted through three phases; preparation & designation, implementation, and follow up & evaluation phase. The 1st Part will be initiated by allocating the selected ICUs randomly into two paired settings, one for applying traditional learning (control ICU) and the other for self-directed learning experimentation (study ICU). the nurses who are working in selected ICUs and correspond to the inclusion criteria, will be randomly distributed into two equal groups (30 nurses in each group). The nurses who are working in study ICU will be asked to fill out the nurses' readiness assessment sheet to learn independently. The nurses who will demonstrate a high readiness score (>80%) for independent learning will be included. Once implantation is complete, the follow-up and evaluation phase will be initiated by daily monitoring of the occurrence of patients' airway related incidents in both control and study ICUs for a continuous three months. Then, the nurses' knowledge and practices (in the control group) will be evaluated two times, 1st time will be 1 month after the implementation phase, and the second time will be after 3 months from the 1st evaluation (to measure the retention of given education and training). Upon completion of data collection, descriptive and inferential statistics will be utilized to test for differences among the study and control group subjects.
Background: Using visual materials is effective in education to decrease children's pre-operative fear and post-operative pain. Children, especially those aged between 6 and 12 years, are interested in technology. This study aims to investigate the effects of watching an educational animated movie in the pre-operative period on fear and postoperative pain in children who are having surgery. Methods: The study was a prospective randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted between 6- to 12-year-old children in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital. The current study includes data from 132 children who were chosen doing block randomization. The "Child and Family Identification Data Form", "Children's Fear Scale" and "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale" was used in data collection. The patients were divided randomly into three groups as the "Educational Animated Movie Group" (EAMG), "Documentary Movie Group" (DMG) and "Control Group" (CG). The Educational Animated Movie and Documentary Movie were screened using Virtual Reality (VR). Data were collected by the researcher in the pre-operative period. The pre-operative fear of the child was evaluated by the child and the parent, and the post-operative pain of the child was evaluated by the child, parent, and nurse using scales about fear and pain.
