Ethical Issues01:27

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.
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:
Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...
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.
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,...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...
Obedience01:08

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:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • End-of-Life Care
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Near-death experiences (NDEs) are rare but profound phenomena.
  • Existing research on NDEs primarily focuses on adults, with limited evidence in children.
  • This study addresses the gap in understanding pediatric NDEs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore pediatric nurses' observations and accounts of children's NDEs.
  • To gain insights into the nature of NDEs in pediatric populations.
  • To understand the subjective experiences of children undergoing NDEs from a nursing perspective.

Main Methods:

  • Conventional qualitative content analysis.
  • Purposive and snowball sampling of 13 nurses from pediatric oncology and intensive care units.
  • In-depth semi-structured interviews analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman (2004) approach.

Main Results:

  • Three main categories emerged: soothing perceptions, encounters with individuals, and emotional reactions.
  • Six subcategories identified: enveloped in light, secure companion, unknown observer, invitation to play, seeking security, and anxiety.
  • Findings reveal multidimensional aspects of pediatric NDEs.

Conclusions:

  • Children's NDEs involve peace, perceived interactions, and emotional responses.
  • Recognizing the psychological and spiritual dimensions of pediatric end-of-life experiences is crucial.
  • Nurses require support to respond empathetically to children's NDEs.
