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,...

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

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:

Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Shift work patterns significantly impact nursing staff satisfaction and well-being.
  • Understanding nurses' preferences for working time organization is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore nurses' priorities regarding shift patterns and working time organization.
  • To identify key factors influencing nurses' satisfaction with their work schedules.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 873 nursing staff across the UK and Ireland.
  • Quantitative and qualitative data were collected on shift preferences, satisfaction, and work-life balance aspects.
  • Analysis involved statistical comparisons and inductive thematic analysis of qualitative responses.

Main Results:

  • Lower satisfaction was reported with long and rotating shifts compared to preferred patterns.
  • Nurses associated short shifts with healthy lifestyle support and long shifts with cost/overtime benefits.
  • Qualitative themes highlighted the importance of 'When I want to work,' 'Impacts to my life outside work,' and 'Improving my work environment.'

Conclusions:

  • Nurses' shift preferences are strongly linked to priorities outside of work, emphasizing the need for work-life balance.
  • Consistent, predictable, and flexible scheduling practices are essential for meeting nurses' needs.
  • Implementing these scheduling practices can enhance nurse satisfaction and contribute to safe, efficient staffing.
