Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome is...
Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
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:
Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Non-clinical interventions like guideline implementation with mandatory second opinions and nurse-led classes can reduce caesarean section rates. Peer review and support from local opinion leaders also show promise in specific scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Global caesarean section rates are rising due to complex factors.
  • Non-clinical interventions may reduce unnecessary caesarean sections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of non-clinical interventions for reducing unnecessary caesarean sections.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review including RCTs, quasi-experimental studies, and interrupted time series analyses.
  • Searched multiple electronic databases up to March 2010.
  • Data extraction and quality assessment by independent reviewers.

Main Results:

  • Nurse-led relaxation and birth preparation classes reduced caesarean sections in small trials for low-risk pregnancies.
  • Guideline implementation with mandatory second opinion showed a small reduction in total caesarean sections.
  • Peer review and feedback reduced repeat caesarean sections; guideline dissemination with opinion leader support increased trial of labor and VBAC rates.

Conclusions:

  • Mandatory second opinions and peer review can reduce caesarean section rates, particularly repeat procedures.
  • Guidelines supported by local opinion leaders may increase trial of labor options.
  • Targeted programs like nurse-led classes show potential for specific populations.
