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...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

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...

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:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Partnerships
  • Clinical Practice Development

Background:

  • Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and the National Health Service (NHS) share responsibility for preparing competent nurses and midwives.
  • The complexity of modern clinical practice necessitates robust support systems for student learning.
  • Existing models may not adequately address the multifaceted challenges of clinical placements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the development and function of a Clinical Practice and Placement Support Unit (CPPSU) at the University of Dundee's School of Nursing and Midwifery (SNM).
  • To identify key elements contributing to the successful support of learning in clinical practice.
  • To provide an overview of how the CPPSU fulfills its remit in enhancing student placements.

Main Methods:

  • The paper details the collaborative process between the SNM and service providers.
  • It focuses on the establishment of the CPPSU as a response to identified needs.
  • The methodology involves an in-depth exploration of three critical success factors for the CPPSU.

Main Results:

  • The successful establishment of the CPPSU was contingent upon three core elements.
  • These elements include ensuring adequate mentor support for students.
  • Developing and monitoring the clinical learning environment and fostering collaboration in student allocation were also crucial.

Conclusions:

  • The CPPSU model, developed through partnership working, effectively supports nursing and midwifery students' learning in practice.
  • Adequate mentor support, a well-managed learning environment, and strong collaboration are vital for successful clinical placements.
  • This initiative highlights a successful strategy for bridging academia and clinical practice in nursing and midwifery education.
