Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

2.8K
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

2.3K
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:

Study Designs in Epidemiology

367
Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.7K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Clinical Trials
  • Healthcare Technology Evaluation

Background:

  • Mobile Health Interventions (MHIs) are increasingly used to address healthcare challenges.
  • Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are crucial for evaluating the clinical effectiveness of MHIs.
  • A systematic review is needed to synthesize findings from MHI RCTs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and analyze Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) evaluating Mobile Health Interventions (MHIs).
  • To classify existing MHI RCTs using the Nickerson-Varshney-Muntermann (NVM) taxonomy.
  • To develop guidelines and a research framework for future MHI-based RCTs.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of MHI RCTs adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Analysis and classification of 70 identified studies using the Nickerson-Varshney-Muntermann (NVM) taxonomy.
  • Extraction of insights from categorized studies to inform future research.

Main Results:

  • RCTs covered diverse health conditions, but most studies found no significant difference between MHIs and usual care.
  • Identified challenges in MHI-based RCTs include technology, delayed outcomes, patient recruitment/retention, and regulatory complexity.
  • Many RCTs lacked sufficient duration to measure lasting improvements, potentially increasing Type I/II errors.

Conclusions:

  • Developed a classification system for MHI RCTs based on the NVM taxonomy.
  • Provided guidelines for conducting future MHI-based RCTs.
  • Proposed a research framework for MHI RCTs, emphasizing personalization, advanced technologies, and emerging research areas.
