Anatomical Positions01:11

Anatomical Positions

In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...
Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions01:29

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:
Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Assistive Technology
  • Wheelchair Use Research

Background:

  • Challenges exist in studying health, activity, and participation for wheelchair users.
  • The Mobility Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (MRERC) convened a State of the Science Conference to address these challenges.
  • Focus was placed on seating and positioning research for wheelchair users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize discussions from a State of the Science Conference on wheelchair user research.
  • To outline priority research topics in seating and positioning for wheelchair users.
  • To guide future research project development in this area.

Main Methods:

  • Attendees formed Breakout Groups focused on priority seating and positioning research topics.
  • Groups were tasked with developing research project frameworks, including questions, aims, designs, and challenges.
  • Discussions covered four key topics: seating/mobility interventions, cushion selection, cushion function, and long-term sitting.

Main Results:

  • Group synopses were compiled from notes and presentations, reflecting diverse discussions.
  • Research project elements such as significance, recruitment, variables, and analysis were considered.
  • Variability in discussion and content indicated differing amenability of topics to structured research guidelines.

Conclusions:

  • The conference identified critical research areas for improving wheelchair user outcomes.
  • Structured approaches were applied to define future research in seating and mobility.
  • Further refinement of research methodologies may be needed for specific topics in wheelchair research.
