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,...
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
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.
Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch01:15

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Animal-Assisted Interventions
  • Mindfulness

Background:

  • Nurses often face high-stress environments requiring strong presence and centeredness.
  • Equine-assisted learning (EAL) offers a unique experiential approach to developing these skills.
  • Understanding the nurse's subjective experience in EAL is crucial for its application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore nurses' lived experiences with equine-assisted learning.
  • To identify nurses' capacity for being present (calm and centered) during horse interactions.
  • To determine if EAL is a valid method for recognizing presence in clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive phenomenology was employed to capture the essence of the lived experience.
  • Qualitative data was gathered through participant engagement with horses in a learning environment.
  • The study focused on the subjective experiences of nurses during EAL.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged from the data: The Experienced Novice, Present in the Moment, Discovery of Self, Team Building, and Leadership.
  • Participants demonstrated an enhanced ability to be present and centered.
  • The experience facilitated self-discovery and skill development in nurses.

Conclusions:

  • Equine-assisted learning provides a meaningful platform for nurses to cultivate self-awareness and presence.
  • EAL can be an effective tool for enhancing nurses' ability to remain calm and centered.
  • The study supports the use of EAL for professional development in nursing.
