Professional Values

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

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.

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Area of Science:

Clinical Laboratory Science
Healthcare Workforce Studies
Pathology Services

Background:

The pathology and clinical laboratory workforce faces an acute shortage, exacerbated by the pandemic, leading to unequal access to services.
Current efforts to address shortages focus on recruitment and visibility, neglecting workforce retention.
Retention of tenured professionals is a critical, under-addressed strategy for service availability and equity.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare workplace presence and loyalty between tenured and early-to-mid-career laboratory professionals.
To assess the impact of experience level on retention and workplace attendance in lab medicine.
To evaluate job fulfillment and wellness across different career stages in the laboratory workforce.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional web-based survey was employed to compare workforce cohorts.
Tenure time (loyalty) and unexpected sick days (workplace presence) were analyzed.
Job fulfillment and physical/emotional wellness were assessed for both groups.

Main Results:

Senior laboratorians (ages 51-65) exhibited significantly longer tenure (20.5 years) than their younger counterparts (3.0 years).
Tenured professionals showed higher workplace presence with fewer unexpected sick/mental days (0 vs. 2).
No significant differences were found in job fulfillment or wellness between the age groups.

Conclusions:

Retention of experienced laboratory professionals is a vital strategy to mitigate workforce shortages.
Focusing on retaining the existing tenured workforce complements recruitment efforts.
Implementing retention strategies can improve the availability and equitable distribution of clinical laboratory services.
