Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

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,...

Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle

Stress is a multifaceted response to events perceived as challenging or threatening, highlighting physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. Physically, stress can lead to fatigue, sleep disruptions, and various health issues such as frequent colds, chest pains, and nausea. Emotionally, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger triggered by both minor and major life events. Cognitively, it may result in difficulty in concentration, memory, and...
The Professional Nurse01:22

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.
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

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...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Nurses face significant negative occupational experiences (NOE) during health crises.
  • Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is a potential positive outcome following adversity.
  • Understanding factors that promote PTG in nurses is crucial for their well-being and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess posttraumatic growth (PTG) in nurses during a health crisis.
  • To examine the moderating roles of resilience, perceived organizational support, and well-being resource use on the relationship between NOE and PTG.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 816 nurses in a US health system in fall 2020.
  • Data collected included measures of NOE, PTG, resilience, perceived organizational support, and well-being resource use.
  • Linear regression analyses were used to assess associations and moderation, controlling for workload and demographics.

Main Results:

  • Negative occupational experiences (NOE) were a significant predictor of posttraumatic growth (PTG).
  • Higher levels of perceived organizational support and well-being resource use were associated with increased PTG.
  • Resilience demonstrated a mixed interaction with NOE, but no direct association with PTG was found.

Conclusions:

  • Perceived organizational support and well-being resource use are key factors that can be leveraged to foster PTG in nurses.
  • Interventions aimed at enhancing these resources may help nurses experience positive psychological changes following stressful occupational experiences.
  • These findings highlight actionable strategies for healthcare organizations to support nurses' psychological resilience and growth.
