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

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 Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Palliative Care
Healthcare Management

Background:

Care homes are increasingly providing end-of-life care.
Staff in care homes require enhanced skills and confidence for effective end-of-life care.
Facilitating end-of-life care within the usual place of residence is a key goal.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop, implement, and evaluate a collaborative intervention for care home staff.
To increase staff confidence and competence in end-of-life care.
To enable more residents to receive end-of-life care in their usual place of residence.

Main Methods:

A two-phase exploratory mixed-methods design was employed.
An end-of-life care toolkit and training were delivered by a specialist palliative care team.
Data collected via discussion groups, training attendance, and pre/post-intervention questionnaires.

Main Results:

Staff confidence increased in receiving emotional/clinical support and managing symptoms.
Confidence decreased in discussing death and dying with residents and relatives.
Audit data showed a greater reduction in hospital deaths for residents in participating homes.

Conclusions:

Collaborative interventions enhance care home staff's ability to manage end-of-life care.
Such interventions may empower residents to choose their place of death.
Further research could explore strategies to improve confidence in communication regarding death and dying.
