This study focused on efficiency of care through the use of call lights and nurses’ steps per shift, the quality and safety of care by readmission rates and fall rates, and patient satisfaction through a questionnaire. The results showed a significant decrease in call light usage in the group with standardized rounding but an increase in the group without, the study could not identify if steps per shift decreased due to outside variables, the study also did not see a reduction in patient falls because falls were happening so infrequent prior. However, there was a significant improvement in patient satisfaction in the group that experienced standardized hourly rounding. This study concluded that although there were a reduction in some

The older nurses would be able to pass down their knowledge and tips to younger nurses, allowing them to obtain years of knowledge/experiences just by learning from the older nurses. Also with changing stereotypes of gender roles, more males have entered the nursing field, increasing the amount of nurses. Although this may be a positive, there

Did nurses with greater years of experience report having an easier time managing their parent group? Explain the importance of this finding. In the article it explained that just because nurses have more years of experience did not necessarily mean they were going to have an easier time managing their parent group. This finding shows that not every parent group going to be the same. Each group will have their own unique quirks which will make them easier or more difficult to manage.

Cameron L, Reeve J, 2006 Assessment of unique associations between risk perceptions and worries and attitudes towards genetic testing for breast cancer detection. N = 303 (62 1st degree relatives with a history of breast cancer in the family, 152 nurses, 89 students with no 1st degree relatives diagnosed with breast cancer) Common Sense Model of Self Regulation (CSM + SRM) Worries were associated with a greater interest in undergoing a genetic test, while the perceived risk was not related with the interest in being tested. Cameron et al., 2012 Testing the effectiveness of a communication strategy N=749 adults CSM – used in testing the effectiveness of the strategy Providing information on the risk actions resulted in improved beliefs, lowered estimates of colon cancer risk, which yielded positive

According to the recent research, it is also reported that females have more survival rate than that of the males. A Word of Conclusion: The statistics mentioned in this piece of writing are not exact but the averages. They do not reflect every patient’s situation. It is the research work carried out by the American Cancer Society. The research is based upon testing the diagnosed patients.

The error in this study was controlled by the researchers reference back to similar research such as this study. The researchers utilized a barrier scale and factored in the nurses educational level, position, and skill level. Some studies on this subject resulted to nurses with higher degrees had higher confidence at experience as using evidence-based research as part of their nursing care practice (Ganz et al., 2009). The conclusion of this study states that although nurses upholds oral care as high priority, most of the critical care nurses in this study do not conduct this care skill with the most current evidence-based practices or even with the proper methods, even though the American Association of Critical Care Nurse (AACN) recommends an oral care hygiene program that that brushes the teeth, gums, and tongue at least twice a day (Ganz et al., 2009). In regards to the second part of the research question, the researchers concluded that evidence-based practices didn’t have an association with personal demographics or level of

Validation of accuracy is very important to a study suchas this, so more studies should be performed and reviewed in the same way this articlewas done. The findings of the team seem to make sense in how a higher number oflicensed staff would result in a higher quality of care, so it should be an easy topic tofollow up on using national databases and informational documents. I like the

One of the reasons for under compensation in nursing is the disparity they have with doctors. Doctors are paid more because they are believed to be the leaders and work more with their patients yet nurses do similar jobs to them. Just like doctors, nurses can treat and diagnose illnesses, write prescriptions, and counsel the patients. Nurses work an equal or similar amount to doctors but are under compensated because of the title they carry. The amount physicians earn is significant compared to nurses earnings.

This section presents the main areas of concern that influence co-creation of value in healthcare service delivery at the doctor-patient encounter level. The findings break the co-creation process into three to include: clinical encounter process, consumption experience, and value outcomes to respective actors. The encounter process The doctor-patient encounter in clinical consultations generates experiences that consequently influence the service outcome. Both actors were asked to share their perceptions of what they would consider as an ideal encounter that could result in positive service outcomes. The responses from both doctors and patients had some similarities and differences.

According to the level of education, Looking at the values the level of understanding is not different between those who had a primary level of education and those who did not had formal education but it was significantly better in those who had higher education(8). Study by Vucemilo L et al in Croatia reports men and younger subjects received a higher level of information(more knowledgeable) than women and older subjects(16). A systemic review about informed consent in middle east African countries reported that female and male perceived informed consent differently as females thought that it is an information disclosure process and males believes that it enables patient self-decision making(4) A study conducted in Nigeria revealed that educated patients are aware of their rights and are more likely to understand information provided i.e. more knowledgeable in surgical informed consent process than uneducated patients(5). While study by Ryckman et al in 2014 stated that many patients do not fully understand their health diagnosis, treatment and possible risks because of limited knowledge, personal stress and cultural

Midwives attended only approximately 8% of U.S. hospital births in 2011, increasing the number of midwives attending and caring for pregnant women could have a significant impact on the maternity care landscape in the U.S. For low-risk pregnancies, midwife led care leads to fewer costly interventions like augmentation and cesarean, reduces the rates of third and fourth degree tears, and is related to higher rates of breastfeeding (American College of Nurse-Midwives [ACNM], 2012). Increasing the availability of midwives in rural clinics and hospitals can significantly reduce the cost of care and improve

Usually the medication advertised has more problems than the condition it is treating. In addition, advertisements have changed the doctor-patient relationship. DTC advertising has changed the way doctors and patients communicate for worse. Naomi Freundlich writes in her article about medication advertisements: “Fewer than 10% of physicians believe direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) is a positive trend in health care. Doctors report that they now spend more time explaining to patients why an expensive new drug is no better than the one they already take, or that the patient isn 't suffering from a nebulous condition like fibromyalgia, just the normal aches and pains of aging.” This pressures physicians to prescribe when patients come in requesting a particular newer (not necessarily better), more expensive medication by name.

Hi, Mrs. Gray I’m Dr. Smart. I’m your doctor while you’re at the hospital. I was reading your chart and I suspect that you have osteoporosis because of you past diagnosis of osteopenia which is a reduced bone mass with a lesser severity then osteoporosis. Having osteopenia also places you at a greater risk for getting osteoporosis, especially if you were not preventing the loss of bone density. Also because the loss of bone density speeds up with hormone changes during menopause, and women have a natural lower bone peak density, this also puts women at higher risk for osteoporosis.
