Hospitals-II

1.1K
Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

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...

Positive Symptoms Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.1K
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that significantly impact cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation. Among these, the positive symptoms stand out as they involve the addition or exaggeration of normal mental functions, deviating markedly from typical behavior and perception. Hallucinations and delusions are prominent positive symptoms, each profoundly affecting the individual's experience of reality.

Assessment of Respiration01:23

Assessment of Respiration

2.3K
The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Psychology
  • Acoustics
  • Healthcare Design

Background:

  • Hospital soundscapes are typically perceived negatively, necessitating mitigation strategies.
  • Focusing on subjective responses to sound can lead to more positive patient experiences.
  • Previous research has not fully explored interventions beyond noise reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of natural sounds, steady-state sounds, and written sound source information to positively influence subjective responses to hospital sounds.
  • To evaluate the emotional (Relaxation) and cognitive (Interest, Understanding) impact of different sound interventions in a hospital ward setting.

Main Methods:

  • A listening evaluation study was conducted with 24 participants.
  • Participants rated their responses to various hospital ward soundscape clips under three intervention conditions: natural sound, steady-state sound, and written sound source information.
  • Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • Interventions significantly affected the 'Relaxation' response (η(2) = 0.05, p = 0.001).
  • Natural sound interventions resulted in a 10.1% more positive relaxation response compared to baseline.
  • Written sound source information yielded a 4.7% positive change in subjective response.

Conclusions:

  • Improving hospital soundscapes through interventions like natural sounds and informational text offers subjective benefits beyond reducing overall sound levels.
  • Further research into diverse sound interventions is recommended to create more positive hospital environments.
  • Enhancing the auditory experience in hospitals can contribute to improved patient well-being and satisfaction.
