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,...

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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
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:

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Injury Prevention
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Injuries are a significant cause of death and disability worldwide, particularly for individuals aged 1-44 years.
  • Globally, 5.8 million deaths annually result from injuries, representing 10% of all deaths.
  • While high-income nations see declining injury death trends due to prevention, low- and middle-income countries face rising rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established injury prevention strategies.
  • To disseminate knowledge on preventing road traffic injuries, self-inflicted injuries, violence, falls, and drowning.
  • To inform healthcare providers, especially acute care physicians, about crucial injury prevention measures.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of decades of injury prevention research.
  • Analysis of trends in injury mortality across different income countries.
  • Synthesis of evidence-based prevention strategies for key injury types.

Main Results:

  • Road traffic injuries, self-inflicted injuries, and violence are leading causes of injury death.
  • Road traffic injuries, falls, and drowning are primary causes of unintentional injury death.
  • Effective prevention measures have led to decreased injury deaths in high-income countries, contrasting with rising trends elsewhere.

Conclusions:

  • Injury prevention is critical to global health, requiring targeted strategies for different injury types.
  • Disseminating knowledge on prevention is essential for healthcare providers to mitigate the growing burden of injuries, especially in lower-resource settings.
  • Continued research and implementation of evidence-based interventions are necessary to reverse the upward trend of injury deaths in low- and middle-income countries.
