Insights

A nurse-led integrative program was implemented in pediatric blood and marrow transplantation (BMT). This approach proved feasible, acceptable, and sustainable for patients and families undergoing complex BMT care.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
  • Nursing Science

Background:

  • Pediatric blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) presents significant challenges for patients and families.
  • An academic health center integrated an advanced nursing practice model focused on integrative health.
  • This initiative aimed to enhance the care delivery model for pediatric BMT patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a comprehensive integrative nursing program for pediatric BMT.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of the program after four years.
  • To identify lessons learned, strengths, challenges, and future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Needs assessment and national benchmarking.
  • Comprehensive literature review.
  • Design and implementation of a nurse-led integrative program by specialized nurses.

Main Results:

  • The integrative nursing program was successfully implemented within a pediatric BMT setting.
  • Four years post-implementation, the program demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability.
  • Key lessons learned, strengths, and challenges were identified for program refinement.

Conclusions:

  • A nurse-led integrative program is a viable and effective addition to pediatric BMT care.
  • The program supports patients and families through the complexities of transplantation.
  • Future research is planned to further advance integrative care in BMT.

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

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...

Integration by Parts: Indefinite Integrals

Integration by parts is a fundamental technique in calculus for evaluating integrals involving the product of two functions. It is particularly useful when direct integration is not feasible. The method is based on the product rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of a product equals the derivative of the first function times the second, plus the first function times the derivative of the second. By integrating this identity and rearranging terms, the integration by parts...

Setting Time of Cement01:12

Setting Time of Cement

The setting time of cement refers to the process of cement paste transitioning from a plastic state to a solid state. This process is crucial in construction as it dictates the timeframe for concrete placement, compaction, and finishing. The onset of this solidification is termed the initial set, indicating when the paste becomes unworkable. The final set is when the paste has solidified completely, and further handling or manipulation can no longer affect its shape. The cement strength is...

Integration by Parts: Definite Integrals

Definite integrals involving the product of two functions over a fixed interval can be evaluated using integration by parts. This method rewrites the integral as the difference of a product evaluated at the endpoints and a remaining definite integral that is often simpler to compute.A representative example is the definite integral of the inverse tangent function. Since there is no direct integration formula for arctan ⁡x, the integrand is rewritten as a product of arctan⁡ x and the...
