Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

17.3K
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...

What are Estimates?

8.2K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

Nerve Supply of the GI Tract01:27

Nerve Supply of the GI Tract

3.4K
The neuronal supply to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is essential for regulating various functions, including digestion, absorption, and movement of food. This intricate network of nerves is known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "second brain" of the body.
The enteric nervous system consists of two major plexuses: the myenteric plexus (Auerbach's plexus) and the submucosal plexus (Meissner's plexus). These plexuses are located within the layers of...

Blood Supply to the Digestive System01:16

Blood Supply to the Digestive System

5.1K
Splanchnic circulation refers to the network of blood vessels that supply and drain blood from the abdominal organs involved in digestion, including the stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and spleen. This circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products from these organs.
Blood Supply to the Digestive System: The splanchnic circulation involves three main arteries: the celiac artery (also known as the celiac trunk) and the superior and inferior mesenteric...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

3.6K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Area of Science:

  • Health Workforce Planning
  • Nursing Workforce Analysis
  • Healthcare Policy Impact

Background:

  • General practice nurses (GPNs) are vital to Australia's primary healthcare system.
  • Current research on future GPN supply is limited, necessitating predictive modeling.
  • Understanding potential workforce imbalances is key for strategic planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To forecast the future supply of GPNs in Australia.
  • To evaluate the impact of various policy and non-policy interventions on GPN workforce balances.
  • To identify effective strategies for mitigating projected nurse shortages.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simulation model for the GPN workforce (2012–25).
  • Utilized scenario analysis to assess policy and non-policy changes.
  • Examined factors influencing workforce dynamics and future supply.

Main Results:

  • A baseline projection indicates a shortage of 814 full-time GPNs by 2025.
  • Non-policy scenarios also consistently projected shortages.
  • The most impactful scenarios involved workforce retention and reduced working hours.

Conclusions:

  • The Australian general practice nursing workforce is predicted to face a significant shortage over the next decade.
  • Targeted retention and recruitment policies are effective solutions for addressing GPN shortages.
  • Proactive workforce planning is essential to ensure adequate primary healthcare services.
