Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse

6.9K
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.

Self-Help Support Groups

369
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Support Reactions01:30

Support Reactions

1.5K
A coplanar force system refers to a set of forces that all lie in the same plane and are subject to different reactions between the point of contact and the supports. Understanding how different types of supports affect coplanar forces is crucial for designing safe and reliable structures that can withstand external loads.
The purpose of the supports is to prevent the translational motion of the system by applying an equal and opposite force and to prevent the system's rotation by applying...

Support Reactions in Three Dimensions

1.7K
Support reactions in three dimensions help maintain the stability and equilibrium of various structures and systems. These reactions prevent the system from translating and rotating, ensuring the design can withstand external forces and perform its intended function efficiently and safely. Some of the supports providing support reactions in three dimensions are discussed below:
Ball and Socket Joint is one of the supports allowing free rotation about any axis. This freedom of rotation is...

Bone as Supporting Connective Tissue01:23

Bone as Supporting Connective Tissue

7.1K
Bone tissue forms the internal skeleton of vertebrate animals, providing structure to the body.
Bone Matrix
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a connective tissue that has a large amount of two different types of matrix material. The organic matrix is similar to the matrix material found in other connective tissues, including some amount of collagen and elastic fibers. This gives strength and flexibility to the tissue. The inorganic matrix consists of mineral salts— mostly calcium salts—...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Professional Development
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Professional support is crucial for nursing staff well-being and retention.
  • Understanding workplace support dynamics can inform management strategies.
  • Previous research (House, 1985) provides a framework for assessing support perceptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore nurses' perceptions of professional support received during critical incidents.
  • To identify key sources and types of helpful and unhelpful support in hospice settings.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different management strategies in providing support.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study conducted in two hospice facilities.
  • Interviews with 41 nurses regarding critical incidents and received support.
  • Utilized questionnaires based on House's (1985) work to measure support perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Nurses generally expressed satisfaction with professional support, primarily from direct supervisors.
  • Practical support was perceived as more beneficial than emotional support.
  • Large group meetings were frequently identified as unhelpful for receiving support.

Conclusions:

  • Direct supervisors play a significant role in providing essential professional support to nurses.
  • Management strategies should prioritize practical support and reconsider the utility of large meetings.
  • Workplace support is critical, as external networks (friends, family) are limited in addressing professional needs.
