Human Caring

As most health care systems around the world are undergoing major administrative restructuring, we expose ourselves to the risk of dehumanizing patient care. If we are to consider caring as the core of nursing, nurses will have to make a conscious effort to preserve human caring within their clinical, administrative, educational, and/or research practice. Caring must not be allowed to simply wither away from our heritage.To help preserve this heritage, caring theories such as those from Jean Watson, Madeleine Leininger, Simone Roach, and Anne Boykin are vital. Through this continuing education paper we will learn the essential elements of Watson’s caring theory and explore an example of a clinical application of her work.

Is Evaluation

Abstract Community System of Social Support is the basis of modern health care systems not only in Poland but all over the world in the prophylaxis-treatment-rehabilitation procedure. In Poland, family doctors, commune councils and territorial self-governments are involved in it. Family doctors perform a substantial function, whereas commune councils and territorial self-governments an administrative one. The principle of the system work is evaluation of its benefits. Its aim is the reduction of the number of patients who abuse alcohol and those who abuse alcohol despite treatment.

Objective: To review the value provided when health care systems independently manage medical and psychiatric care. Method: The authors draw on data from the world literature, their own experiences and reflections (one author as an international consultant in the coordination of physical and behavioural health care), and input from colleagues throughout the world who face similar challenges to improve outcomes for complex, high cost patients in their own health care systems. Results: Most health care systems in the world approach the administration and delivery of mental health care separately from that of general medical care. This practice is no longer supported as effective, efficient or inexpensive. Rather accumulating data indicates that concurrent and coordinated medical and psychiatric care, which can only be accomplished by integrating physical and behavioural health through infrastructure change, should replace the present system of independently provided sequential care; that is, one which provides first medical and then psychiatric treatment, or vice versa, with little communication between clinicians in the two sectors. Conclusions: By making mental health treatment an integral part of general medical care through reorganization of the funding system, a higher percentage of those now untreated for their psychiatric disorders, both within and outside of the medical setting, can have their mental health needs addressed in coordination with their physical disorders. At the same time, the number of patients that can be treated within the same budget will be expanded.

The Impact

: In the late 2019, coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV 2) infection emerged in Wuhan, China and spread to all countries making the first pandemic in 21st century. It seems that this infection will continue period which is long enough to obligate modifications in both life style and health care systems. Because chronic liver diseases (CLD) are prevalent all over the world, it is expected to manage patients with CLD and COVID-19. The aim of this review was to shade the light on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the management of patients with CLD and how to give medical care to CLD patients during COVID-19 pandemic.
