Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The 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...

Nursing 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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology Nursing
  • Healthcare Implementation Science

Background:

  • The 'Coping with Itch' nursing program aims to reduce pruritus and improve patient self-management.
  • It is delivered in a nurse-led clinic within dermatology outpatient departments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement the 'Coping with Itch' nursing program across five Dutch hospitals.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored implementation approach based on the contingency model.

Main Methods:

  • A diagnostic interview assessed organizational characteristics (structure, HR, culture, politics) against program demands.
  • Implementation strategies targeted identified discrepancies, primarily in structure and HR.
  • Nurses' self-report forms and a Barriers and Facilitators questionnaire evaluated adherence, continuation, and barriers.

Main Results:

  • Nurses demonstrated professional adherence to the 'Coping with Itch' program.
  • All participating hospitals sustained the itch clinics post-implementation.
  • Key barriers included significant time investment and lack of additional financial compensation.

Conclusions:

  • A tailored implementation strategy, guided by the contingency model, facilitated successful program adoption.
  • The contingency model proves valuable for implementing nursing programs in clinical practice.
