Current Trends in Nursing II

3.7K
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,...

Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

2.5K
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

543
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Elements Crucial for Effective Psychotherapy01:25

Elements Crucial for Effective Psychotherapy

422
Research has highlighted several critical factors that influence the effectiveness of psychotherapy, such as the therapeutic alliance, the therapist, and the client.
The Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance refers to the relationship between the therapist and the client. The alliance strengthens when the therapist and the client engage in a nurturing, supportive, trusting, empathetic, and respectful relationship, improving therapeutic outcomes. Therapists must monitor this relationship...

Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

2.4K
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Models
  • Physiotherapy Practice
  • Societal Health Expectations

Background:

  • Physiotherapy has historically followed a biomedical model.
  • There is a growing need for new practice models in 21st-century healthcare.
  • Connectivity presents an alternative to traditional healthcare paradigms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce connectivity as a novel model for physiotherapy.
  • To explore the philosophical underpinnings of connectivity in healthcare.
  • To examine how connectivity can reshape physiotherapy practice and align it with societal needs.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical analysis of connectivity.
  • Review of existing healthcare models and their limitations.
  • Examination of the concept of normalization in healthcare practice.

Main Results:

  • Connectivity challenges the biomedical emphasis on independence, promoting collaboration and co-dependence.
  • The model critiques normalization, arguing it contributes to stigma and discrimination.
  • Connectivity offers a framework for physiotherapists to re-evaluate professional tenets.

Conclusions:

  • Connectivity presents a paradigm shift for physiotherapy practice.
  • This model encourages a move away from normalization towards inclusivity.
  • Rethinking physiotherapy through connectivity can better serve contemporary societal expectations.
