Summary
This study examined the nursing concept of "enduring" to assess the feasibility of evidence-based nursing for subjective patient experiences. Research on enduring reveals significant conceptual, theoretical, and linguistic challenges impacting its practical application in nursing.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Growing demand for evidence-based nursing practices.
- Need to evaluate the applicability of evidence-based approaches to subjective patient experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the research literature on the nursing concept of "enduring."
- To assess the feasibility and meaningfulness of applying evidence-based nursing to subjective patient experiences using "enduring" as an example.
Main Methods:
- Literature analysis of research on the concept of "enduring" in nursing.
Main Results:
- The research literature on "enduring" presents multiple challenges.
- These challenges include conceptual, theoretical, and linguistic issues.
- Problems also stem from nursing's moral traditions, affecting practice.
Conclusions:
- The concept of "enduring" in nursing literature is complex and multifaceted.
- Significant implications exist for applying this concept in clinical nursing practice.
- Further refinement is needed for effective evidence-based integration.

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...

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.

01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
01:30Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
