The authors describe the steps that can occur when implementing a funded study. Emphasis is on the administrative formalization of the grant, as well as setting up and implementing the study. This includes hiring personnel, creating study protocols, optimizing recruitment, collecting data with entry, and ensuring study fidelity. In addition, generating formal reports, disseminating findings, and addressing evolving concerns of artificial intelligence are discussed. Finally, the pitfalls to avoid for successful grant implementation are highlighted.
There are many ways to live intent and intention within leader-follower situations over time. It is important that there is a nursing theoretical framework that serves as the leading-following foundation to ensure that nursing knowledge guides the important work of organizations where nurses shape policy, care, and outcomes. The utilization of nursing's theoretical knowledge base enhances the discipline and profession across various situations. The purpose of this article is to explore the ways in which intent and intentions, with the essences of Parse's (2021) leading-following model, are lived-out.
The purpose of this paper is to explore Parse's unique concept of imaging through further analysis of humanbecoming inquiries that have been conducted from 2007 to 2020.
Before the earthquake that struck on January 12, 2010, Haiti was one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, such that many of its buildings and public infrastructure were unable to protect hundreds of thousands of people from dying, and its emergency and healthcare systems were ill-equipped to help the injured and homeless. In response to this healthcare and humanitarian crisis, four nurse faculty members from the New York City area, three from Hunter College, came together and formed a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, called Promoting Health in Haiti (PHH), with the sole purpose of improving the quality of and access to primary healthcare in Haiti by educating advanced practice nurses there. The model was an international collaboration, and the teaching was done both on site and remotely. The impact of these programs on the healthcare in the country is discussed here.
In this column, the notions of intention and meaning in the teaching-learning of nursing are explored from the humanbecoming perspective, raising concerns about faculty intentions to teach from a solid foundation in nursing knowledge. Faculty are challenged to explore personal values, beliefs, and intention in considering the meaning unfolding in the journey of teaching-learning in nursing. The question is asked whether honoring the richness of nursing knowledge and cocreating new knowings in nursing are truly at the core of teaching-learning in nursing.
The significance of human posture extends beyond mere body stance to its profound impact on long-term physical well-being. Guided by the Roy adaptation model and Walker and Avant's approach, in this paper the author presents a concept analysis of posture, which resulted in a proposed explanatory theory of postural functional status. By identifying attributes of posture (alignment, adaptation, and awareness), its antecedents (body parts, force of gravity, and musculoskeletal system), and consequences, this concept analysis offers fresh ideas to promote and shape postural future in nursing, wellness, and public health, with an aim to sustain the quality-of-life for individuals of all ages.
Lack of conceptual clarity about symptom burden causes urinary incontinence to remain undertreated. We conducted a concept analysis using Rodgers' evolutionary method. A database and gray literature search were performed. Eight records were included. Attributes include genitourinary symptoms, psychological morbidity, and a negative sense of self. Antecedents are disruption to the pelvic floor, knowledge and perception, healthcare access and utilization, and patient and clinician-led interventions. Consequences are reduced quality of life, undesirable lifestyle modifications, stigma, and financial distress. Future research should include diverse populations and comprehensive measurement tools, and address barriers to care to improve health equity and outcomes.
This is an introduction to the book review of Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World by Sarah DiGregorio (2023). The author of the book, who is a journalist, shares her appreciation for nursing, describing its transformative power to change the world. It inspires professional nurses in living the art of nursing to reflect on ways to make distinct contributions to the healthcare system and the future of the world.
