Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.2K
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...

Naturalistic Observations

17.9K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

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...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Qualitative Research
  • Mixed Methods Research

Background:

  • Informal carers of patients with palliative heart failure face multifaceted influences affecting their quality of life.
  • Understanding the phenomenon of being a carer requires examining both positive and negative aspects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reflect on methodological challenges in studying informal carers of palliative heart failure patients.
  • To explore factors influencing a carer's perception of their caring role.
  • To examine similarities and differences in the carer experience using a mixed methods approach.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase sequential mixed methods design was employed.
  • Quantitative data were collected using the Family Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAMQOL).
  • Qualitative data were gathered through 14 in-depth interviews with informal carers.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment of carers presented significant methodological considerations.
  • Maintaining integration between quantitative and qualitative phases required careful planning.
  • Improving access to hard-to-reach carer populations was a key challenge.

Conclusions:

  • The study underscores the importance of methodological flexibility when researching palliative care populations.
  • A pragmatic and iterative approach is beneficial for addressing complexities in mixed methods studies.
  • Findings offer insights for improving engagement with hard-to-reach populations in palliative care research.
