The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

19.3K
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

2.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

1.5K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Summary

Fentanyl patches combined with intercostal bupivacaine blockade offer effective pain management after thoracotomy, serving as a practical alternative to epidural analgesia (EDA). This method provides significant pain relief for patients and simplifies care for nursing staff.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pain Management
  • Anesthesiology

Context:

  • Post-thoracotomy pain is a significant clinical challenge.
  • Effective pain management is crucial for patient recovery and reducing complications.
  • Current analgesia methods include epidural analgesia (EDA), which has associated risks and complexities.

Purpose:

  • To compare the efficacy of transdermal fentanyl patches with intercostal bupivacaine blockade against epidural analgesia (EDA) for post-thoracotomy pain.
  • To evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of a novel analgesic approach in a real-world clinical setting.

Summary:

  • A 10-month study involving 268 patients undergoing thoracotomy compared two pain management strategies.
  • Group 1 received transdermal fentanyl patches and intraoperative intercostal bupivacaine blockade; Group 2 received epidural analgesia (EDA).
  • Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on postoperative days 0, 1, and 2.

Impact:

  • Transdermal fentanyl patches combined with intercostal bupivacaine blockade demonstrated effective pain relief post-thoracotomy.
  • This method offers a practical and potentially advantageous alternative to EDA for both patients and healthcare providers.
  • Findings suggest a new standard of care for managing post-surgical chest pain.
