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:

Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

332
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.

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

282
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

465
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Flow states represent an optimal subjective experience balancing skills and task demands.
  • Previous research on experimentally induced flow states primarily used adaptive tasks.
  • Understanding factors that promote flow is crucial for enhancing performance and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of specific transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocols on flow state experiences.
  • To determine if tDCS applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and right parietal cortex can increase flow during gameplay.
  • To explore the potential of neurostimulation to facilitate flow in complex motor tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies employed real or sham tDCS during gameplay (Tetris and first-person shooter games).
  • Participants included untrained infrequent gamers (Tetris) and trained frequent gamers (FPS).
  • Flow experience was quantitatively assessed before and after the stimulation period.

Main Results:

  • Real tDCS significantly increased self-reported flow experience in both untrained and trained video game players compared to sham.
  • Performance improvements were observed exclusively in the untrained participant group.
  • The findings suggest tDCS can modulate subjective flow experiences irrespective of prior gaming expertise.

Conclusions:

  • Cathodal and anodal tDCS over the left DLPFC and right parietal cortex, respectively, can effectively promote flow states.
  • This neurostimulation approach may be beneficial for enhancing flow experiences in real-world complex motor activities.
  • The study highlights a novel method for inducing positive psychological states relevant to sports, gaming, and daily life.
