Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation01:25

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

2.9K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

7.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

4.4K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

5.6K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

4.3K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

6.5K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal Health
  • Implementation Science
  • Midwifery Practice

Background:

  • Gestational weight gain (GWG) is crucial for antenatal care, but guideline adherence is inconsistent in Australia.
  • Most women do not achieve recommended GWG, impacting maternal and infant health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore factors influencing midwives' adherence to GWG guidelines.
  • Utilised Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) as a framework to understand implementation challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with 12 Australian midwives.
  • Thematic analysis guided by NPT constructs was employed to analyse interview data.

Main Results:

  • Midwives reported diverse understanding and prioritization of GWG care, influenced by education and professional development.
  • Systemic barriers like time constraints and fragmented care models hindered consistent implementation.
  • Midwives adapted practices to prioritize relational safety, often softening GWG targets and advocating for clearer guidance.

Conclusions:

  • Individual, professional, and systemic factors intersect to influence GWG care delivery.
  • Targeted training in trauma-informed, non-stigmatising care and addressing structural barriers are vital for improving guideline adherence.
  • Embedding GWG care requires multi-level strategies addressing knowledge, training, resources, and governance.
