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,...

Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

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.

Area of Science:

Nursing Studies
Global Health
Sociology of Professions

Background:

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) conference in Malta (2011) highlighted implicit assumptions about global nursing practice.
These assumptions suggest a universal globalization of the nursing profession, applied equally worldwide.
The paper critiques the implicit nature of these assumptions within the ICN's decision-making processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To critically analyze the implicit assumptions underpinning global nursing practice representation.
To explore alternative frameworks for the International Council of Nurses' global initiatives.
To investigate the concept of 'taboo' in understanding the undervaluing of nursing.

Main Methods:

Reflective analysis of the International Council of Nurses' (ICN) decision-making processes.
Conceptual exploration of 'taboo' as a lens to examine nursing's value.
Consideration of new information technologies' potential impact on nursing.

Main Results:

Identified implicit, potentially inequitable assumptions in the global representation of nursing practice.
Proposed exploring 'taboo' as a critical framework to understand nursing's societal valuation.
Suggested new information technologies may offer new avenues for nursing's global advancement.

Conclusions:

The current global approach to nursing may be based on unexamined, universalizing assumptions.
Addressing the 'taboo' surrounding nursing could be key to improving its professional value.
Future nursing initiatives should consider the implications of information technology and critically examine underlying assumptions.
