Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current 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,...
Nursing Implementation01:15

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.
Critical Thinking I01:24

Critical 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...
Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice01:30

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Educational Theory
  • Healthcare Practice Improvement

Background:

  • Research utilization in nursing practice is often inconsistent, leading to challenges in adopting evidence-based interventions.
  • Current models for research utilization frequently overlook the crucial learning aspects involving attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.
  • Transformation Theory offers a framework to address these gaps by focusing on critical reflection and discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential contributions of Transformation Theory to nursing research utilization initiatives.
  • To analyze how transformative learning strategies can foster the integration of research into clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of Transformation Theory and its associated learning strategies (critical reflection, critical discourse).
  • Examination of the applicability of these theories and strategies within the context of clinical nursing practice and research utilization.

Main Results:

  • Research utilization is fundamentally a learning process encompassing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs.
  • Transformative learning strategies facilitate deeper insight, shared meaning, and validation of personal beliefs, which are often neglected in current research utilization efforts.
  • Transformation Theory, when integrated with existing research utilization theories, can be a key factor in driving and sustaining practice changes.

Conclusions:

  • Transformation Theory provides valuable strategies to enhance the effectiveness of research utilization initiatives in nursing.
  • Addressing the learning dimensions of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors is essential for successful and sustained practice change.
  • Further research is warranted to fully understand and implement Transformation Theory in nursing practice to improve client care and well-being.
