Icelandic entry level nurses remain one of the best educated in the world and appear to have a positive attitude regarding integrative approaches as do many of their patients. A more organized effort is needed in Icelandic health care facilities and by Icelandic nurses and educators to develop and promote integrative nursing in Iceland. There is a unique opportunity for further growth in integrative nursing in Iceland due to the excellent educational background of nurses in Iceland, its unique proximity to various natural resources and a broad cultural acceptance of integrative modalities in Iceland.

The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has led to unprecedented demands on the modern health care system, and the highly contagious nature of the virus has led to particular concerns of infection among health care workers and transmission within health care facilities. While strong data regarding the transmissibility of the infection are not yet widely available, preliminary information suggests risk of transmission among asymptomatic individuals, including those within health care facilities. We believe that the presence of a tracheostomy or laryngectomy stoma poses a unique risk of droplet and aerosol spread particularly among patients with unsuspected infection. At our institution, guidelines for the care of open airways were developed by a multidisciplinary open airway working group, and here we review those recommendations to provide practical guidance to other institutions.

This paper investigates the attitudes of Nigerian health consumers towards modern health care facilities. It examines both the traditional beliefs and customs which stand in the way of accepting modern health care, and the modern health care facilities themselves which discourage patients through their red tape, lack of interpersonal communication and mass production atmosphere. The paper attempts to explain the communication gap between patients and modern medical practitioners in Nigeria by examining the historical development of medical science in the country. It concludes that there is no continuity between the traditional and modern practitioners and that modern health care is totally derived from the Western world without consideration for the social and cultural background of the population. Special training in interpersonal relationship of all medical and paramedical personnel including the observation of psychological methods used by the traditional healers, as well as “a patient's bill of right” aimed at promoting health consumer awareness of the part he has to play in the proper delivery of health care are proposed.
