Care study: the Leg Club Model and the sharing of knowledge

Abstract:
The empowerment of patients can be considered an important part of the nurses' role in the management of chronic venous leg ulcers. This article describes how one individual's healing rate improved when she was given greater control over her own care by a partnership formed with her nursing team. The negative impact of a subsequent change to a more autocratic care regime is discussed. The authors investigate how nurse education, reflection and sharing best practice could overcome barriers to patients becoming more involved in their own individualized wound management and treatment. The role of the Leg Club Model (a clinic held in a social environment as opposed to a medical setting) in promoting an environment of collaborative working, open communication and knowledge sharing is examined.

Case Studies
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
