Identifying and prioritizing topics for evidence-based geriatric nursing practice guidelines in Korea
International Nursing Review
|February 21, 2018
Summary
This study identified key areas for evidence-based geriatric nursing guidelines in Korean long-term care facilities. Prioritized topics include fall prevention and pressure ulcer care to enhance elder quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric Nursing
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Long-Term Care
Background:
- Korea faces a growing elderly population without established evidence-based geriatric nursing practice guidelines.
- Long-term care facilities require standardized practices for optimal elder care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and prioritize topics for developing evidence-based geriatric nursing practice guidelines.
- Focus on needs within Korean long-term care settings.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire surveyed 89 nurses on activities needing evidence or standardization.
- 14 geriatric nursing experts prioritized identified topics through surveys.
Main Results:
- 240 clinical topics were identified and categorized.
- Top priority areas for guidelines included fall prevention, position changes, and pressure ulcer prevention.
Conclusions:
- Developing standardized guidelines can improve geriatric care quality and older adults' quality of life.
- Consideration of health policies, like fee-for-service based on evidence, is recommended.
- Further research with larger populations is needed due to study limitations.

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

01:23Guidelines for Sketching a Curve
155
Curve sketching is a systematic method for understanding the overall behavior of a function by analyzing its key mathematical features. A function defines a curve on the coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis represents the input variable and the vertical axis represents the output. The process begins by determining the domain, which specifies the set of input values for which the function is defined and establishes the horizontal extent of the graph.Intercepts with the horizontal and...
