Health education for hospitalized patient in nursing care: a conceptual analysis

ABSTRACT Objectives: to define the concept of Health Education of Hospitalized Patient. Methods: the study used the conceptual analysis based on Walker and Avant strategies: Derivation, Synthesis, and Analysis of the concept. Researchers conducted 35 interviews with nurses who worked in direct care to patients admitted to a Hospital-School, and a bibliographic search on the CINAHL, Medline/PubMed®, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, and BDENF databases. Results: the study identified the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the concept and defined the concept of Health Education of Hospitalized Patient as “the action of sharing knowledge about the promotion, prevention, recovery and rehabilitation concerning to health based on reciprocity between nurses and patients, family members and companions, in a systematized or unsystematic way”. Final Considerations: the identification of antecedents, attributes, consequences, and empirical references enabled the theoretical definition unprecedented of this concept and its applicability in practice, contributing to science and hospital nursing care.

Conducting a Cluster RCT on Medication Safety in Nursing Units Overtaxed by the COVID-19 Pandemic

Medication errors continue to harm many hospitalized patients. In other high-risk industries, voluntary incident reporting is widely used to improve safety. Reporting is widely used in hospitals, but not as effectively. This AHRQ-funded cluster RCT will assess the effects of the SAFE Loop, which includes five enhancements in incident reporting implemented on hospital nursing units. Analyses will compare changes in nurses’ attitudes toward reporting, event reporting rates, report quality, and medication event rates between intervention and control arms. The COVID-19 pandemic has created both obstacles and opportunities. The intervention requires study staff to engage nursing unit directors, attend daily nursing “huddles”, and train overtaxed front-line nurses in a geographic area greatly impacted by COVID-19 surges. This created uncertainty around the best time to start the trial. Conversely, we have collected unique data on the implications of COVID-19 for medication safety while testing our instruments during the trial preparation phase.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA PERENCANAAN KEPALA RUANG DENGAN PENANGANAN PASIEN HIV/AIDS

The function of nursing management, especially the planning function of the head of the room, is important to realize quality nursing services, especially in the treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the planning function of the head of the room with the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients in dr. H. Soewondo Kendal. This study with a sample of 58 people used a descriptive correlation design with a cross sectional approach, using bivariate analysis with the Spearman Rank test. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the planning function and the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients in RSUD dr. H. Soewondo Kendal (pvalue 0.001). Recommendations for the hospital nursing management to improve the planning function in terms of providing supporting facilities for handling HIV/AIDS such as SAK HIV/AIDS, syringe supplies and syringe disposal sites and universal precaution training.

Association of hospital nursing and postsurgical sepsis

Despite concerted research and clinical efforts, sepsis remains a common, costly, and often fatal occurrence. Little evidence exists for the relationship between institutional nursing resources and the incidence and outcomes of sepsis after surgery. The objective of this study was to examine whether hospital nursing resource quality is associated with postsurgical sepsis incidence and survival. This cross-sectional, secondary data analysis used registered nurses’ reports on hospital nursing resources—staffing, education, and work environment—and multivariate logistic regressions to model their association with risk-adjusted postsurgical sepsis and mortality in 568 hospitals across four states. Better work environment quality was associated with lower odds of sepsis. While the likelihood of death among septic patients was nearly seven times that of non-septic patients, better nursing resources were associated with reduced mortality for all patients. Whereas the preponderance of sepsis research has focused on clinical interventions to prevent and treat sepsis, this study describes organizational characteristics hospital administrators may modify through organizational change targeting nurse staffing, education, and work environments to improve patient outcomes.

Effect Analysis of Hospital Nursing Management Based on Informatization

Objective: To explore the effect of hospital nursing management based on informatization. Methods: 167 inpatients from different departments in our hospital from June 2020 to November 2019 were randomly selected and divided into control group and observation group.83 cases in the control group were treated with traditional nursing management mode; 87 cases in the observation group used modern nursing information management system for information-based nursing management, and then compared the two groups in terms of nursing management efficiency, patient basic nursing, ward management, specialized nursing and nursing satisfaction, so as to verify the clinical application effect of information-based nursing management. Results: After the application of information-based nursing management mode, the construction and application of information management system made the nursing management process more standardized and accurate. Therefore, the clinical nursing efficiency, basic nursing, ward management, specialized nursing and nursing satisfaction of the observation group were better than those of the control group. Conclusion: In the practice of hospital inpatient nursing management, the scientific use of information technology and information management system can significantly improve the efficiency of patient nursing management and nursing satisfaction, and play a key role in improving the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is worth popularizing and applying in the whole hospital and even the national grass-roots hospitals.

Prevalence of Burnout Syndrome among Clinical Nurses Working at State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria

Even though burnout syndrome is detected in professionals from various areas, prevalence is particularly high in service and care workers, especially health and care ones. Among those, nurses have been the subject of several studies, because they experience constant stressful labour situations, working in direct contact with patients who have different expectations and degrees of suffering. It is, therefore, necessary to conduct a study to determine the prevalence of the symptoms of burnout among nurses in hospitals in an effort to anticipate the negative impact of burnout on hospital nursing services. Consequently, this study aims to determine the level, knowledge and prevention among clinical nurses. A descriptive design was adopted for this study which was conducted in State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta. A total of 100 respondents were used for the study, a stratified sampling technique was used to select the participants. A modified, structured, closed-ended questionnaire was used. Analysis was presented in tables, charts and percentages. Nearly all the causes listed in the questionnaire were seen as factors causing burnout in clinical nurses (99% of working long hours). 96%: from patients and families. Furthermore, it was found out that the majority of the nurses agreed to items listed in the questionnaire as things a nurse can do to prevent burnout, establishing social support; 94%, set goals for self; 99% etc. This implies that the majority of the nurses know what they can do to prevent burnout. Aside from free study grants, job opportunities that are most likely to attract young people, what can be done to retain nurses are to improve job satisfaction, patient safety, quality of health care and quality of life for both nurses and patients.
