Abstract

Background:

The National Health Service (England) strategic plans for research highlight the importance of aligning nurse and midwife-led research to public need. Whilst research priorities for healthcare are available for some specialisms of nursing and midwifery, there are no published data on the collective nursing, midwifery, and patient/carer research priorities aligned with operational care delivery priorities for a specific healthcare organisation.

Aim:

Identify nurse and midwife led-research priorities for one healthcare organisation in England.

Methods:

Using an online Delphi methodology, this project presents priorities for nurse and midwife-led research at one London hospital group in England.

Results:

The consensus process reduced an initial 275 ideas into a final 10 priorities, grouped under three categories: (a) Patient-reported priorities: Building healthy and therapeutic clinical environments; community services; challenging interactions between staff, patients, and families; clinical decision making/competence. (b) Workforce, education, and training: Staff well-being; career development and progression; workplace culture. (c) Clinical care delivery: Disparities and under-represented communities; patient and staff safety; mental healthcare and support.

Conclusion:

Findings will inform future nurse and midwife-led research locally and across the wider nursing and midwifery profession.

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

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:

Planning Nursing Care I

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

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,...

Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Nursing Assessment

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...
