Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

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.

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,...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process I

Fundamentals of Nursing Process I

The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.

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.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Simulation
Soft Skills Development

Background:

Soft skills are crucial but historically undervalued in nursing education compared to technical skills.
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated shifts to online learning, revealing gaps in soft skills development among nursing students.
Community nursing courses faced unique challenges adapting to remote, discussion-based formats.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore how an undergraduate community nursing simulation course adapted to a remote format during the pandemic.
To identify challenges and opportunities for developing essential soft skills in nursing students within this adapted format.
To advocate for a curriculum rebalance integrating soft skills alongside technical training.

Main Methods:

Reflective observations were used to analyze the remote, discussion-based simulation experience.
The study focused on challenges encountered in person-centered care, emotional sensitivity, communication, and feedback.
Qualitative analysis of the adapted course structure and student interactions.

Main Results:

The remote simulation format provided an unexpected yet effective space for cultivating soft skills.
Key challenges were identified in delivering person-centered care, demonstrating emotional sensitivity, ensuring accessible communication, and facilitating feedback.
The experience underscored the inadequacy of current curricula in addressing soft skills.

Conclusions:

Nursing curricula must be rebalanced to deliberately integrate soft skills development alongside technical competencies.
Recommendations include specific strategies for structuring simulations, using standardized patients, and tailoring feedback.
Fostering a resilient, communicative, and well-rounded nursing workforce requires prioritizing soft skills training.
