Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
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.
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...
Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III01:16

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III

Nurse-to-nurse relationships are legally required to adhere to professional standards, ensuring a respectful and positive working environment. Professional conduct demands that nurses treat all colleagues respectfully and courteously, fostering a productive, supportive workplace. Nurses must actively eliminate bullying, discrimination, and harassment to maintain a safe and inclusive environment.
Cultivating a culture of collaboration and mutual respect among nurses transcends mere enhancement...
Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II01:23

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.
Communication between nurses and patients...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Workforce Studies
  • Human Resources Management

Context:

  • Perceived work ability is crucial for job performance and worker retention.
  • Healthcare settings face unique challenges, including nurse shortages and an aging workforce, potentially increasing the risk of low perceived work ability.
  • Understanding factors influencing work ability is vital for developing effective HR strategies.

Purpose:

  • To measure perceived work ability among nurses using the Work Ability Index (WAI).
  • To identify key predictors of perceived work ability in the nursing profession.
  • To provide data for improving human resource management in healthcare.

Summary:

  • A pilot study involving 78 nurses found that age over 45 (OR=4.56), over 15 working years (OR=3.18), and more than 3 diseases (OR=25.00) were significant predictors of lower perceived work ability.
  • These findings highlight the vulnerability of older, experienced nurses with multiple comorbidities.
  • The study utilized the Work Ability Index (WAI) to quantify perceived work ability.

Impact:

  • Provides actionable insights for healthcare managers to address nurse shortage and aging workforce issues.
  • Informs the development of targeted interventions to support nurse well-being and retention.
  • Contributes to optimizing human resource management strategies within the healthcare sector.
