Fundamentals of Nursing Process II01:25

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
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...
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.
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...
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,...
Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Sedentary behavior is prevalent among aged care staff, with 84% classified as sedentary.
  • Function Focused Care (FFC) aims to reduce resident inactivity by encouraging participation in activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine factors influencing staff engagement in FFC across various care settings.
  • To test the hypothesis that lower staff sedentary behavior, higher physical activity, FFC knowledge, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and decision authority increase FFC engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data (n=139) from a randomized controlled trial.
  • Utilized accelerometer-measured sedentary behavior, FFC observations, and surveys on self-efficacy, knowledge, and decision authority.

Main Results:

  • Staff averaged 11.60 hours/day of sedentary time.
  • Increased staff sedentary behavior was significantly associated with less FFC engagement (IRR=1.25, p<0.001).
  • Direct care roles (IRR=0.22, p=0.002) and older age (IRR=0.96, p=0.033) were associated with more FFC behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • High levels of sedentary activity among staff were observed.
  • Increased staff sedentary behavior poses a risk to FFC delivery and resident engagement in activities.
  • Interventions promoting staff physical activity may enhance FFC provision and resident activity levels, informing staff and resident wellness programs.
