1Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing.
Summary
This study clarifies nursing care for intractable illness, identifying four key processes: accepting emotions, respecting existence, developing potential, and supporting autonomy. These findings enhance patient-centered care strategies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Qualitative Research
- Grounded Theory
Context:
- Intractable illnesses present complex challenges for patients and healthcare providers.
- Effective nursing care is crucial for managing chronic and life-limiting conditions.
- Understanding the nuances of nursing processes in palliative care is essential.
Purpose:
- To explore and define the nursing care processes for patients with intractable illnesses.
- To identify key strategies employed by nurses in caring for individuals with chronic conditions.
- To provide a framework for enhancing nursing interventions in palliative and long-term care settings.
Summary:
- A qualitative study using grounded theory with seven nurses in Japan identified four core nursing care categories for intractable illness: accepting emotions, respecting existence, developing potentiality, and supporting autonomy.
- Data from participant observation and interviews were analyzed using constant comparative analysis.
- Specific nursing actions supporting these categories were also revealed, offering practical insights.
Impact:
- This research provides a foundational understanding of essential nursing care for patients with intractable illnesses.
- The identified care categories can inform the development of specialized nursing protocols and educational programs.
- Findings contribute to improving the quality of life and patient-centered care for individuals facing chronic and life-limiting conditions.

01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:27Ethical Issues
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.
