Background

The COVID-19 pandemic put extreme stress on an already strained healthcare workforce. Suboptimal work organization, exacerbated by the pandemic, is associated with poor worker, patient, and organizational outcomes. However, there are limited qualitative studies exploring how the interconnections of work organization factors related to shift work, sleep, and work stress influence registered nurses and their work performance in the United States.

Purpose

We sought to understand how nurses perceive work organization factors that impact their performance. Knowledge in this area could direct efforts to implement policies and design tailored interventions to support nurses in the post-pandemic period.

Methods

We used a qualitative descriptive design with the Work, Stress, and Health framework as an overarching guide to understand the interconnectedness of work organization factors, work stress, and outcomes. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two anonymous, asynchronous virtual focus groups (i.e., threaded discussion boards) in 2019. Registered nurses (N = 23) working across the United States were recruited and engaged until data saturation was achieved. Directed content analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results

Findings aligned with the Work, Stress, and Health framework and revealed three themes: (1) “Our Voice Should Matter” (nurses’ desire to have their voices heard in staffing policies); (2) “Tired But Wired” (the harmful cycle of work stress, rumination, and poor sleep); and (3) “We’re Only Human” (nurses’ physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion linked to critical performance impairments).

Conclusion

These findings underscore that high work stress and poor sleep were present before the pandemic and impacted nurses’ perceptions of their performance. As leaders look forward to recovery and work redesign efforts, these findings can guide decision-making and resource allocation for optimal nurse, patient, and organization outcomes.

2019冠状病毒病大流行给本已紧张的医疗保健队伍带来了极大压力。不理想的工作组织,因大流行而加剧,与工人、病人和组织的不良结果有关。然而,关于轮班工作、睡眠和工作压力等工作组织因素如何影响美国注册护士及其工作绩效的定性研究有限。目的:了解护士如何看待影响其工作表现的工作组织因素。这方面的知识可以指导实施政策和设计有针对性的干预措施,以支持大流行后时期的护士。方法采用定性描述设计,以工作、压力和健康框架作为总体指导,了解工作组织因素、工作压力和结果之间的相互联系。2019年,参与者被随机分配到两个匿名、异步的虚拟焦点小组(即线程讨论板)之一。招募美国各地的注册护士(N = 23),直到达到数据饱和。采用定向内容分析法对数据进行分析。结果:调查结果与工作、压力和健康框架一致,揭示了三个主题:(1)“我们的声音应该重要”(护士希望在人员配备政策中听到自己的声音);(2)“疲劳但紧张”(工作压力、沉思和睡眠不佳的有害循环);(3)“我们只是人”(护士的身体、情感和精神疲惫与严重的表现障碍有关)。结论这些发现强调,大流行前存在高工作压力和睡眠不足,并影响护士对其表现的看法。当领导者期待着恢复和工作重新设计的努力时,这些发现可以指导决策和资源分配,以获得最佳的护士、患者和组织结果。

Background

Across the United States, cannabis regulation is rapidly changing. In 2018, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) released medical marijuana guidelines and called for all nursing students to be educated in six essential principles of knowledge in cannabis care. However, little is known about nursing students’ current knowledge regarding the care of patients using medicinal cannabis.

Purpose

To create a baseline body of evidence around nursing students’ knowledge based on NCSBN’s medical marijuana guidelines and nursing students’ skills and attitudes related to their future roles in providing care to patients who use cannabis medicinally.

Methods

A mixed-method approach through a 16-item survey was used to provide two distinct categories of evidence. Quantitative data collected from 1,346 nursing students across the United States were analyzed using frequency, simple descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s rank correlation to identify variances among states based on sample size and geographic location. A qualitative thematic analysis method described common themes found in the open-ended qualitative portion.

Results

More than 90% of respondents believed cannabis has therapeutic benefits (N = 1,346, M = 1.61, SD = .69), with responses of strongly agree (n = 658; 48.9%), agree (n = 588; 43.7%), neither agree nor disagree (n = 78; 5.8%), disagree (n = 16; 1.2%), and strongly disagree (n = 6; 0.4%). However, 74% of respondents disagreed that their nursing school taught medical cannabis (N = 1,346, M = 4.05, SD = .97), with responses of strongly agree (n = 23; 1.7%), agree (n = 63; 4.7%), neither agree nor disagree (n = 266; 19.8%), disagree (n = 461; 34.2%), and strongly disagree (n = 533; 39.6%). Results were similar in all locations regardless of legality. Qualitative themes emerged indicating students’ desire for cannabis science to be included in the nursing curriculum (n = 525), and those who cared for patients using medical cannabis had positive experiences (n = 277). Most participants reported “media/news” (n = 829), “research articles” (n = 604), and “patients” (n = 383) as their primary sources of medical cannabis education.

Conclusion

Although the nursing students who participated in this study believed cannabis has therapeutic value, few of the students are receiving education from their nursing programs based on NCSBN’s six essential principles of knowledge in the care of patients using cannabis, regardless of students’ location or type of enrolled nursing program. Nursing programs should establish cannabis science and cannabis care within their curricula to meet the patient population’s growing need

在美国,大麻监管正在迅速改变。2018年,国家护理委员会全国委员会(NCSBN)发布了医用大麻指南,并呼吁所有护理专业学生接受大麻护理六项基本知识原则的教育。然而,关于护理学生目前对使用药用大麻的患者的护理知识知之甚少。目的根据NCSBN的医用大麻指南和护理学生在为医用大麻患者提供护理方面的角色相关的技能和态度,围绕护理学生的知识建立基线证据体。方法采用混合方法,通过16项调查提供两种不同类别的证据。从美国1,346名护理专业学生中收集的定量数据使用频率,简单描述性统计和Spearman等级相关来分析各州之间基于样本量和地理位置的差异。定性主题分析方法描述了开放式定性部分中发现的共同主题。结果超过90%的受访者认为大麻有治疗作用(N = 1346, M = 1.61, SD = 0.69),其中强烈同意(N = 658;48.9%),同意(n = 588;43.7%),既不同意也不反对(n = 78;5.8%),不同意(n = 16;1.2%),强烈不同意(n = 6;0.4%)。然而,74%的受访者不同意他们的护理学校教授医用大麻(N = 1,346, M = 4.05, SD = 0.97),强烈同意(N = 23;1.7%),同意(n = 63;4.7%),既不同意也不反对(n = 266;19.8%),不同意(n = 461;34.2%),强烈不同意(n = 533;39.6%)。无论是否合法,所有地点的结果都是相似的。定性主题的出现表明,学生希望将大麻科学纳入护理课程(n = 525),照顾使用医用大麻患者的人有积极的经历(n = 277)。大多数参与者报告说,"媒体/新闻" (n = 829)、"研究文章" (n = 604)和"病人" (n = 383)是他们获得医用大麻教育的主要来源。结论虽然参与本研究的护生认为大麻具有治疗价值,但无论学生所在的位置或就读的护理专业类型如何,很少有学生根据NCSBN的六项基本知识原则接受护理专业对大麻患者护理的教育。护理方案应在其课程中建立大麻科学和大麻护理,以满足患者对医用大麻教育日益增长的需求。

Background

Health services offer new graduate registered nurses (NGRNs) employment primarily via specialized transition programs. However, findings continue to indicate that these programs are mostly counterproductive in the provision of a supportive environment. As a consequence, the health of graduates and safety of their patients is often at risk.

Purpose

The specific aim of this integrative review was to review, critique, and synthesize the existing literature with regard to the spectrum of factors and perceptions that have an impact on NGRNs and their passage to becoming competent professional nurses. The overall aim was to reconceptualize the approach to NGRN transition and develop new frameworks or perspectives.

Methods

This study used an integrative review of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the McGill Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. The CINAHL, PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and Ovid MEDLINE databases were searched for relevant quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies published in English in an academic journal between 2015 and 2021. Eligible studies were categorized conceptually in accordance within a recognized framework for integrative reviews.

Results

A total of 41 studies were included in the review. This review found that healthcare organizations are primarily solipsistic and provision of consistent quality support, or any support at all, for NGRNs was not assured. As a consequence, purposive psychosocial preparation of nursing students for self-support during transition is needed.

Conclusion

An intense focus on psychosocial preparation of nursing students in order to scaffold the transition to practice experience and thus ensure patient safety is advocated. Proposals for change are recommended at the undergraduate level, which includes comprehensive curriculum development in both theory and practice.

卫生服务主要通过专门的过渡项目为新毕业注册护士(ngrn)提供就业机会。然而,研究结果继续表明,这些项目在提供支持性环境方面大多适得其反。因此,毕业生的健康和病人的安全往往处于危险之中。目的:本综合综述的具体目的是回顾、批判和综合现有文献,这些文献涉及影响ngrn及其成为合格专业护士的各种因素和观念。总体目标是重新定义NGRN过渡的方法,并开发新的框架或观点。方法本研究采用了定性、定量和混合方法研究的综合评价,采用了系统评价和荟萃分析(PRISMA)指南和麦吉尔混合方法评价工具的首选报告项目。检索CINAHL、PsycInfo、Google Scholar和Ovid MEDLINE数据库,检索2015年至2021年间发表在学术期刊上的相关定量、定性和混合方法研究。符合条件的研究在概念上按照公认的综合评价框架进行分类。结果共纳入41项研究。本综述发现,医疗机构主要是唯我论的,不能保证为ngrn提供一致的质量支持,或者根本不提供任何支持。因此,有目的的心理社会准备护理学生在过渡期间的自我支持是必要的。结论应加强护生的心理社会准备,为护生向实践经验的过渡奠定基础,从而确保患者安全。建议在本科阶段进行改革,其中包括理论和实践方面的综合课程开发。

Background

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is responsible for addressing concerns about UK-registered nurses and midwives through its fitness-to-practice process.

Purpose

To assess whether the NMC considers relevant factors at all stages of its deliberations into nurse misconduct, as required by the determinations in the appeal cases of Cohen v. General Medical Council (GMC), Zygmunt v. GMC, and Azzam v. GMC, and to assess whether the circumstances described in its Sanctions Guidance warranting the suspension or removal of a nurse from the practice register lead to that outcome.

Methods

Cases between July and September 2021 that highlighted aggravating circumstances deemed as serious enough to warrant removal were identified and included in this study. Specific factors, including patient safety and dishonesty, included when determining impairment of fitness to practice were compared with their subsequent consideration when determining the severity of sanction. Pearson’s χ2 and Fisher’s exact tests were used to detect any variation from the expected distribution of data.

Results

Fifty-nine cases met the inclusion criteria. Each of the four factors considered was more likely to be heard when determining a sanction after first being factored into the consideration of impairment. Where the aggravating factors of dishonesty or risk of harm to patients or the public were identified as an aspect of a nurse’s misconduct, the sanctions of suspension or removal were no more likely to be imposed than when they were absent.

Conclusion

The NMC does, in general, factor the rulings of High Court appeal cases into their deliberations on the impairment of fitness to practice; however, we were unable to demonstrate that dishonesty or risk of harm were more likely to result in suspension or removal of a nurse from the practice register.

护理和助产委员会(NMC)负责通过其健康实践过程解决对英国注册护士和助产士的担忧。目的评估NMC是否按照Cohen诉通用医学委员会(GMC)、Zygmunt诉GMC和Azzam诉GMC上诉案件的裁决要求,在其审议护士不当行为的各个阶段考虑了相关因素,并评估其制裁指南中描述的暂停或将护士从执业登记册中除名的情况是否导致了这一结果。方法确定2021年7月至9月期间的加重情节被认为严重到需要转移的病例,并将其纳入本研究。具体的因素,包括病人的安全和不诚实,在确定是否适合行医的损害时,将其与确定制裁的严重性时的后续考虑进行比较。使用Pearson χ2和Fisher精确检验来检测数据预期分布的任何变化。结果59例符合纳入标准。在首先考虑损害因素后,在确定制裁时,所考虑的四个因素中的每一个都更有可能被听到。当不诚实的加重因素或对病人或公众造成伤害的风险被确定为护士不当行为的一个方面时,停职或撤职的制裁并不比他们缺席时更有可能施加。结论NMC在审议妨碍执业能力时,一般会参考高等法院上诉案件的裁决;然而,我们无法证明不诚实或伤害风险更有可能导致暂停或从执业登记册中删除护士。

Thematic Analysis of Health Professions Sunset Reports: Foci, Gaps, Impacts, and Best Practices 卫生专业夕阳报告的专题分析:焦点、差距、影响和最佳做法
IF 2.4 4区 医学 Q2 Nursing Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1016/S2155-8256(22)00094-1

Background

Sunset reviews, along with performance audits and judicial reviews, orientate regulatory boards to act in the public interest and to address any weaknesses in the boards’ efficiency. Although sunset reviews gained popularity after their introduction in the 1970s and 1980s, their limited success in terminating agencies, along with the resources needed to conduct the reviews, have led to sunset legislation being repealed in several jurisdictions in favor of broader program evaluation or general audit processes. Increased interest in trying to limit the growth of the number of professions requiring a license to practice has seen a revival of interest in both sunrise and sunset reviews over the past decade.

Purpose

To review existing sunset reports related to nursing and other health professions licensing boards and identify the foci, best practices, and criteria used by states in their evaluations.

Methods

A review and systematic examination of existing literature was performed with a mixed-methods approach and a range of analytical techniques. Manual and computer-based qualitative analyses were used to identify themes. Documents were analyzed for thematic content, the centrality of various themes, and how they may inform the development of more standardized approaches to assess the performance of regulatory bodies.

Results

A total of 329 reports were identified from 24 US states. The 329 reports were analyzed and varied in length from 3 to 727 pages with an average report length of 68 pages. Collectively, 22,420 pages were analyzed. The review identified that many evaluations were based on opinion or survey responses rather than quantifiable or empirical evaluations. As a result, objective analysis of the approaches is difficult to assess, both within and across jurisdictions. The study identified 26 themes with considerable overlaps and connections between them. By coding various themes to the content of the reports, researchers identified groups of the most strongly related themes. The most connected group, main areas of performance scrutiny, relates to the major responsibilities and functions of licensing boards. The next most connected group encompasses the administrative and operational concerns involved in the conduct of the review. The least connected group is those elements that delineate the authority and focus of the review and encompass the basis of the legislative authority used to enable the review. Best and promising practices were also identified, including the following: (a) information provision (e.g., guidance notes that explain the process and provide public input); (b) comparative data sets (e.g., conducting reviews on a range of boards simultaneously); (c) accountability and publication of responses (e.g., improvement recommendations or commendation for best practices are made available).

背景日落审查,连同绩效审计和司法审查,引导监管委员会为公众利益行事,并解决董事会效率方面的任何弱点。虽然日落审查在20世纪70年代和80年代引入后受到欢迎,但在终止机构方面取得的有限成功,以及进行审查所需的资源,导致日落立法在一些司法管辖区被废除,转而支持更广泛的项目评估或一般审计过程。在过去的十年里,越来越多的人试图限制需要执照的职业数量的增长,这使得人们对日出和日落审查的兴趣重新燃起。目的审查与护理和其他卫生专业许可委员会有关的现有日落报告,并确定各州在其评估中使用的重点、最佳做法和标准。方法采用混合方法和一系列分析技术对现有文献进行综述和系统检查。使用手工和计算机定性分析来确定主题。分析了文件的主题内容、各种主题的中心地位,以及它们如何为制定更标准化的方法来评估监管机构的绩效提供信息。结果从美国24个州共鉴定出329份报告。对329份报告进行了分析,报告长度从3页到727页不等,平均报告长度为68页。总共分析了22,420页。审查发现,许多评价是基于意见或调查答复,而不是可量化或经验性评价。因此,很难对这些方法进行客观分析,无论是在司法管辖区内还是跨司法管辖区内。该研究确定了26个主题,它们之间有相当大的重叠和联系。通过将各种主题编码到报告的内容中,研究人员确定了相关性最强的主题组。联系最紧密的一组,即审查工作表现的主要领域,与发牌委员会的主要责任和职能有关。下一个联系最密切的小组包括进行审查所涉及的行政和业务问题。联系最少的一组是那些描述审查的权威和重点并包含用于使审查成为可能的立法权威基础的要素。还确定了最佳和有希望的做法,包括以下内容:(a)提供信息(例如,解释流程并提供公众意见的指导说明);(b)比较数据集(例如,同时对一系列委员会进行审查);(c)问责制和公布回应(例如,提供改进建议或对最佳做法的表彰)。对已发表的日落评审报告主题内容的分析确定了一系列潜在指标,如果将其标准化,可以提供更大的跨学科委员会和跨司法管辖区学习。用于进行日落审查的标准和报告中包含的重点为董事会成员和工作人员教育内容创作者提供了见解。还确定了进一步研究的相关机会。

Although sunset reviews gained popularity after their introduction in the 1970s and 1980s, their limited success in terminating agencies, along with the resources needed to conduct the reviews, have led to sunset legislation being repealed in several jurisdictions in favor of broader program evaluation or general audit processes. Increased interest in trying to limit the growth of the number of professions requiring a license to practice has seen a revival of interest in both sunrise and sunset reviews over the past decade.</span></p></div><div><h3>Purpose</h3><p>To review existing sunset reports related to nursing and other health professions licensing boards and identify the foci, best practices, and criteria used by states in their evaluations.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A review and systematic examination of existing literature was performed with a mixed-methods approach and a range of analytical techniques. Manual and computer-based qualitative analyses were used to identify themes. Documents were analyzed for thematic content, the centrality of various themes, and how they may inform the development of more standardized approaches to assess the performance of regulatory bodies.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A total of 329 reports were identified from 24 US states. The 329 reports were analyzed and varied in length from 3 to 727 pages with an average report length of 68 pages. Collectively, 22,420 pages were analyzed. The review identified that many evaluations were based on opinion or survey responses rather than quantifiable or empirical evaluations. As a result, objective analysis of the approaches is difficult to assess, both within and across jurisdictions. The study identified 26 themes with considerable overlaps and connections between them. By coding various themes to the content of the reports, researchers identified groups of the most strongly related themes. The most connected group, <em>main areas of performance scrutiny,</em> relates to the major responsibilities and functions of licensing boards. The next most connected group encompasses the administrative and <em>operational concerns</em> involved in the conduct of the review.
