Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Bias01:22

Bias

4.3K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

5.1K
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.

Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nurse practitioner (NP) programs need obesity and weight bias education. A pilot study using simulation-based experiences showed promise in improving NP students' attitudes toward patients with obesity, despite no statistically significant score changes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Nursing Practice
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Nurse practitioner (NP) curricula often lack obesity and weight bias education.
  • NPs frequently care for patients with obesity, who may have experienced weight discrimination.
  • NP students may lack confidence in managing weight and addressing weight bias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a weight bias reduction (WBR) intervention within an NP curriculum.
  • To assess the impact of a simulation-based experience (SBE) with a standardized participant (SP) on NP students' attitudes and beliefs.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study embedded a WBR intervention, including SBE-SP and educational activities, into an NP program.
  • Nineteen NP students participated, with data analyzed for seven students comparing pre- and post-intervention scores.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences were found in pre- to post-intervention Attitudes Toward Obese Persons (ATOP) or Beliefs About Obese Persons (BAOP) scores.
  • The small sample size limited statistical power.

Conclusions:

  • Despite not reaching statistical significance, the SBE-SP intervention shows potential for improving NP students' attitudes and reducing weight bias.
  • Incorporating SBE-SP may be a feasible and valuable addition to NP curricula for addressing obesity and weight bias.
