Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:
Hospitals-II00:59

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

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...
Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Emergency departments (EDs) face challenges managing patient flow.
  • Understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives is crucial for improving ED operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze health team professionals' perceptions of the work objective in an emergency unit.
  • To identify factors contributing to dissatisfaction and resistance in EDs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative case study methodology.
  • Data collection through direct observation and semi-structured interviews.
  • Study conducted in a hospital emergency ward in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Main Results:

  • A significant divergence exists between user health needs and the intended work objective of the ED.
  • Professionals report dissatisfaction due to a high volume of non-emergency cases.
  • Increased patient attendances are cited as a reason for resistance and reduced commitment to care.

Conclusions:

  • The mismatch between patient demand and ED scope contributes to professional dissatisfaction.
  • Addressing the influx of non-emergency cases is essential for improving emergency care quality and staff morale.
  • Further research into optimizing emergency care delivery models is warranted.
