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,...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

7.2K
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.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

13.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Obedience

35.9K
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,...

Summary

Shift work disorder (SWD) prevalence decreased in nurses over two years. Predictors of SWD included more nights worked, prior SWD, sleepiness, melatonin use, and depression symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Shift work is a known risk factor for sleep disturbances and adverse health outcomes.
  • Shift Work Disorder (SWD) significantly impacts the well-being of healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of developing Shift Work Disorder (SWD) in Norwegian nurses.
  • To examine longitudinal changes in SWD prevalence and associated risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study involving 1533 nurses surveyed at baseline and a two-year follow-up.
  • SWD was defined by excessive sleepiness and/or insomnia related to work schedules.
  • Logistic regression analysis was used to identify significant predictors.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence of SWD decreased from 35.7% to 28.6% over two years.
  • Predictors for SWD at follow-up included higher number of nights worked, prior SWD diagnosis, elevated Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, melatonin use, bright light therapy use, and depression symptoms.
  • Transitioning away from night shifts significantly reduced the risk of SWD.

Conclusions:

  • Several factors predict the development and persistence of SWD in nurses.
  • Interventions targeting sleepiness, sleep quality, and mental health may mitigate SWD.
  • Shifting away from night work is a protective factor against SWD.
