Summary
Routine, a concept of organized behaviors, is crucial for adaptation and well-being but is underutilized in nursing. Further research is needed to explore its role in patient care and health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Routine is a potentially pivotal concept for understanding functional adaptation and well-being.
- Nursing practice, patient care, and individual life experiences are heavily influenced by routines.
- Despite its significance, the concept of routine has received limited attention within the nursing field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a concept analysis of routine, identifying its attributes, antecedents, and consequences.
- To examine the implications and applications of the concept of routine within nursing.
Main Methods:
- A concept analysis was performed using Rodgers' guidelines.
- A literature search was conducted across multiple databases (PsycInfo, CINAHL, MedLine, Social Services, Social Work abstracts).
- Seventy-four papers published between 1977 and 2005, directly relating to the concept of routine, were included.
Main Results:
- Routine is defined as strategically designed behavioral patterns (conscious and subconscious) that organize and coordinate activities.
- Routine serves as a strategy for adaptation, particularly during times of change and stress.
- The conceptual structure, relations with other concepts, antecedents, and consequences of routine were described.
Conclusions:
- The concept of routine is currently ill-defined and infrequently used in nursing.
- Routine holds significant potential for enhancing the understanding of various health-related issues in nursing.
- This analysis provides an integrated view of routine and proposes directions for future nursing research and practice.

01:24Critical Thinking I
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...

The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.
01:18The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
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...
