The Professional Nurse

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.

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training
Patient Safety

Background:

Surgical proficiency relies on both technical skills and non-technical skills (NTS).
NTS encompass leadership, decision-making, communication, and teamwork.
Existing research on NTS training effectiveness in surgery is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the importance of non-technical skills in surgical practice.
To review the impact of training interventions on NTS.
To advocate for enhanced NTS training for surgeons.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on non-technical skills training in surgery.
Analysis of studies involving team training and preoperative briefings.
Assessment of reported outcomes related to NTS interventions.

Main Results:

Team training has demonstrated improvements in communication and teamwork.
Preoperative briefings enhance communication and decrease postoperative complications.
Evidence suggests a positive correlation between NTS training and surgical outcomes.

Conclusions:

Non-technical skills are essential for effective surgical performance.
Targeted training in NTS can significantly improve surgical outcomes.
Future surgical education should prioritize comprehensive NTS development.
