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,...

Hospitals-II

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

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.

International Nursing Organizations II

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

Area of Science:

Bioethics
Nursing Ethics
Healthcare Management

Background:

Healthcare systems prioritize breastfeeding for patients, exemplified by the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative.
Institutional support for patient-breastfeeding contrasts with limited attention to the needs of lactating nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

To critically appraise the ethical contradiction experienced by lactating nurse-mothers within healthcare institutions.
To analyze how workplace structures constrain nurses' ability to breastfeed, despite institutional policies.

Main Methods:

Relational ethics framework used as the primary interpretive lens.
Supported by clinical and organizational ethics frameworks.
Analysis of nurse-mothers' experiences as embodied ethical agents.

Main Results:

Nurse-mothers encounter delayed/denied pumping breaks, inadequate facilities, and stigmatization.
These conditions lead to ethical tension, moral distress, and professional disengagement.
Systemic moral incoherence identified within maternal-centered institutions.

Conclusions:

Achieving ethical integrity in Baby-Friendly Hospitals necessitates enforceable structural protections for nurse-mothers.
Recognition of maternal embodiment and caregiving is crucial for ethically sustainable professional life.
