Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-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...

This principle is grounded in the professional, legal, and ethical frameworks that shape nursing practice. For instance, nurses must adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and practice standards, including guidelines set forth by nursing boards and professional bodies, to ensure their actions comply...

Nursing 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...

It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide comfort...
Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Patient Adherence Research
  • Health Behavior Science

Background:

  • Heart failure (HF) patients frequently experience preventable complications.
  • Effective treatment relies on patient self-care behaviors and adherence to prescribed regimens.
  • Current adherence and self-care rates in HF populations are suboptimal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on adherence and self-care in heart failure patients.
  • To describe interventions aimed at enhancing self-care maintenance in this population.
  • To identify gaps in research regarding HF patient adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on heart failure patient adherence and self-care.
  • Analysis of interventions designed to improve self-care maintenance.
  • Identification of patient subgroups at higher risk for poor adherence.

Main Results:

  • Effective interventions incorporate strategies to motivate and empower patients.
  • Successful approaches encourage informed decision-making and patient responsibility.
  • Patient engagement is key to successful self-care maintenance.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions should focus on patient motivation, empowerment, and informed decision-making.
  • Further research is essential to improve adherence and self-care in high-risk HF patients.
  • Addressing cognitive and functional impairments and low health literacy is critical for future interventions.
