Current Trends in Nursing I

Current Trends in Nursing I

Current trends in nursing include:

Obedience

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,...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

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,...

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

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.

Discharge Summary Forms

Discharge Summary Forms

The discharge summary is crucial as it enables a smooth transition from a healthcare facility to a patient's home or another care setting. This critical document facilitates seamless continuity of care, ensuring patients receive the necessary support and attention.
Here's a detailed look at the key components and guidelines for preparing a discharge summary:

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Professional Development
Qualitative Research

Background:

The transition for new graduate nurses (NGN) is a critical period marked by stress, job dissatisfaction, and intent to leave.
Limited research exists on NGN transition experiences in the Middle East due to unique cultural and healthcare contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the professional role transition experiences of Qatari NGNs.
To inform the development of a formal transition-to-practice program at a specialty hospital in Qatar.

Main Methods:

A qualitative case study design was employed.
Data collection involved the Casey-Fink Graduate Experience Survey and an unstructured focus group.

Main Results:

Qatari NGNs reported challenges in professional role adaptation, feeling ill-prepared, and experiencing self-doubt.
Language barriers, discrimination, and lack of social support hindered their integration and professional identity development.
These challenges contributed to frustration and fear during the transition period.

Conclusions:

The transition of Qatari NGNs is influenced by intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and cultural factors.
Accessible, multi-level social support is vital for socialization and enhancing clinical competency.
Managing expectations and providing support during the first year of practice can improve the NGN transition experience, informed by Duchscher's Theory of Transition Shock.
