Background. The National Education Progression in Nursing’s current goal is for one million incumbent nurses and 90% of new ADN nurses to achieve a BSN or higher by 2025 in the United States. To meet this goal, programs nationwide are exploring options to increase BSN graduates. One method is the concurrent enrollment ADN-BSN pathway. This review examines how nurse educators develop and implement concurrent enrollment ADN-BSN programs in the US and calls to expand access to this important approach to academic progression in nursing. Method. A PRISMA search strategy was used to identify articles that detailed the development and implementation of dual-admission nursing programs. Ten relevant works were analyzed in this review. Results. Dual enrollment programs vary in program type and implementation methods nationwide and offer an innovative, cost-effective, and time-efficient approach to obtaining the BSN. Conclusion. While employing dual or concurrent enrollment partnerships between community colleges and universities is a complex endeavor, these programs are a powerful and cost-effective way to increase the number of BSN nurses in the workforce and should be considered for expansion as we promote academic progression for all nurses.
背景。全国护理教育进展目前的目标是,到 2025 年,美国将有 100 万在职护士和 90% 的 ADN 新护士获得 BSN 或更高学位。为实现这一目标,全国范围内的课程都在探索增加 BSN 毕业生人数的方案。其中一种方法是同时入学的 ADN-BSN 途径。本综述研究了美国护士教育者如何制定和实施 ADN-BSN 兼读项目,并呼吁扩大这一重要的护理学术进步途径。方法。采用 PRISMA 搜索策略,以确定详细介绍双录取护理课程的开发和实施的文章。本综述分析了 10 篇相关文章。结果。全国范围内的双录取项目在项目类型和实施方法上各不相同,为获得 BSN 提供了一种创新、经济、省时的方法。结论。虽然社区学院与大学之间采用双轨制或同步入学合作是一项复杂的工作,但这些计划是增加工作队伍中 BSN 护士人数的一种有效且具有成本效益的方法,在我们促进所有护士的学术进步时,应考虑扩大这种方法。

Introduction. Preterm infants (PTIs) are vulnerable to morbidity, disability, and mortality. They require meticulous care for survival and development in neonatal care units (NCUs). PTI care in NCUs is a collaborative and team effort among different health professionals. However, nurses have a key role for quality care. This study aimed to assess nurses’ PTI care practices across different hospitals in Nepal. Methods. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in NCUs of six randomly selected public hospitals in Nepal. After obtaining ethical approval, structured observation was completed among 40 NCU nurses using a practice checklist. After observation, a self-report questionnaire was administered among 102 nurses. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results. The observation and self-reported mean infant care practices were 73.7% and 70.7%, respectively. The overall practice median score and the interquartile range (IQR) were 4.0 (3.5–4.3) with the highest score of (4.5 [4.1–4.7]) for daily supportive care and the lowest score of (2.8 [2.1–3.5]) for pain management. The care practice was strongly associated with the nurse-infant ratio (adjusted odd ratio (aOR) = 18.52, confidence interval (CI) = 5.83–58.77, and p=<0.001) and training status (aOR = 4.95, CI = 1.59–15.39, and p=0.006). Conclusion. Nurses have adequate practice of thermal care, safe oxygen administration, nutritional care, and infection prevention in NCUs, whereas lacking is found regarding developmental supportive care components (sleep promotion and a supportive sensory environment), parental support, and pain management practices. Consideration of the proper nurse-infant ratio and continued professional development opportunities are essential for practice enhancement in NCUs. These findings might be useful to identify the gaps in PTI care practice in NCUs.
导言。早产儿容易发病、致残和死亡。他们需要在新生儿护理病房(NCU)中得到精心护理,以保证其生存和发展。新生儿护理单元中的早产儿护理需要不同医护人员的通力合作。然而,护士在提供优质护理方面发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在评估尼泊尔不同医院护士的 PTI 护理实践。研究方法在尼泊尔随机抽取的六家公立医院的新生儿监护病房进行了一项描述性横断面研究。在获得伦理批准后,使用实践检查表对 40 名 NCU 护士进行了结构化观察。观察结束后,对 102 名护士进行了自我报告问卷调查。数据分析采用了描述性和推论性统计方法。结果。观察和自我报告的婴儿护理实践平均值分别为 73.7% 和 70.7%。总体实践中位数和四分位数间距(IQR)分别为 4.0(3.5-4.3),其中日常支持性护理得分最高(4.5 [4.1-4.7]),疼痛管理得分最低(2.8 [2.1-3.5])。护理实践与护士-婴儿比率(调整后奇数比 (aOR) = 18.52,置信区间 (CI) = 5.83-58.77,p=<0.001)和培训状况(aOR = 4.95,CI = 1.59-15.39,p=0.006)密切相关。结论NCU病房的护士在热护理、安全供氧、营养护理和感染预防方面有足够的实践经验,但在发育支持性护理(促进睡眠和支持性感官环境)、父母支持和疼痛管理实践方面有所欠缺。考虑适当的护士-婴儿比例和持续的专业发展机会对加强新生儿护理单元的实践至关重要。这些研究结果可能有助于找出新生儿护理单元在 PTI 护理实践方面存在的差距。

Objectives. This study aims to examine the stigma among HCWs towards chronically ill patients and to determine the predictors of stigma among HCWs for these patients. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted among HCWs in Jordan. The HCWs included in the study were all above the age of 18 years and were involved with the care of COVID-19 patients. An anonymous online survey was disseminated to participants and included questions about demographic and work characteristics. Stigma was assessed based on a modified stigma-related questionnaire for COVID-19 patients. Results. A total of 686 surveys were collected and analyzed. The prevalence of stigma among HCWs towards chronic patients was 20%. Years of experience (B = −0.157 and P=0.017) and number of children for HCWs (B = 0.149 and P=0.016) are considered predictors for stigma towards chronic ill patients. As the years of experience increase, the stigma level decreases. Also, HCWs with more children show more stigma towards chronic illness patients. Moreover, there are no differences between HCWs from different specialties in stigma towards chronically ill patients. Conclusion and Implication. The findings of this study show some type of stigma towards patients with chronic disease by HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the present study may highlight the needs to develop an intervention that minimizes stigmatization and provides psychosocial support to HCWs.
研究目的本研究旨在探讨医护人员对慢性病患者的成见,并确定医护人员对这些患者的成见的预测因素。研究方法这是一项针对约旦医护人员的横断面研究。参与研究的医护人员年龄均在 18 岁以上,并参与了 COVID-19 患者的护理工作。研究人员向参与者发放了一份匿名在线调查问卷,其中包括有关人口统计学和工作特征的问题。根据针对 COVID-19 患者的污名化相关问卷进行评估。结果。共收集并分析了 686 份调查问卷。医护人员对慢性病患者的成见发生率为 20%。医护人员的工作年限(B=-0.157,P=0.017)和子女数量(B=0.149,P=0.016)被认为是对慢性病患者产生成见的预测因素。随着工作年限的增加,对慢性病患者的成见程度会降低。此外,子女越多的医护人员对慢性病患者的成见越深。此外,不同专业的医护人员在对慢性病患者的成见方面没有差异。结论与启示。本研究结果表明,在 COVID-19 大流行期间,医护人员对慢性病患者存在某种成见。总体而言,本研究强调有必要制定干预措施,以尽量减少对医护人员的污名化,并为他们提供社会心理支持。

Aims. The aim of this concept analysis was to clarify the conceptual characteristics, antecedents, consequences, definition, and proper use of self-management social support in the context of type 2 diabetes. Background. Self-management social support has been found to be positively correlated with improved patient outcomes and a reduced occurrence of type 2 diabetes complications. In the context of type 2 diabetes, there is no uniform definition of the concept of self-management social support. In addition, the attributes of the concept and the antecedents, as well as the outcome consequences, should be identified. Design. A concept analysis. Methods. Walker and Avant’s (2019) framework for concept analysis. Results. Self-management social support could be defined as the presence of a supportive social network that exhibits supportive reinforcing behaviors that could facilitate positive behavioral change and promote disease self-management that leads to improved biobehavioral and psychosocial outcomes for patients. Conclusions. The findings suggest that self-management social support promotes self-efficacy, self-competence, and self-confidence in the self-management of type 2 diabetes. Patient characteristics, attributes of social support sources, patient-caregiver relationships, and disease severity should be taken into consideration when studying the relationship between social support and patients’ outcomes. Effective social support will lead to improvements in the biological, psychological, and social well-being of type 2 diabetes patients. Self-management social support should be preceded by the formulation of a supportive network that provides patients with active reinforcement. Implications. Self-management social support can promote self-efficacy, self-competence, and self-confidence in the self-management of type 2 diabetes and thereby improve health outcomes among type 2 diabetes patients.
目的本概念分析旨在澄清 2 型糖尿病患者自我管理社会支持的概念特征、前因、后果、定义和正确使用。背景。研究发现,自我管理社会支持与改善患者预后和减少 2 型糖尿病并发症的发生呈正相关。就 2 型糖尿病而言,自我管理社会支持的概念没有统一的定义。此外,还应确定这一概念的属性、前因以及结果后果。设计。概念分析。方法。Walker 和 Avant(2019 年)的概念分析框架。结果。自我管理社会支持可定义为支持性社会网络的存在,该网络表现出支持性强化行为,可促进积极的行为改变,促进疾病的自我管理,从而改善患者的生物行为和社会心理结果。结论研究结果表明,自我管理社会支持可提高 2 型糖尿病患者自我管理的自我效能、自我胜任能力和自信心。在研究社会支持与患者疗效之间的关系时,应考虑到患者的特征、社会支持来源的属性、患者与护理人员的关系以及疾病的严重程度。有效的社会支持将改善 2 型糖尿病患者的生理、心理和社会福祉。自我管理社会支持应首先建立一个支持网络,为患者提供积极的强化支持。意义。自我管理社会支持可提高 2 型糖尿病患者自我管理的自我效能感、自我胜任能力和自信心,从而改善 2 型糖尿病患者的健康状况。

Aims. Baccalaureate nursing students often enter nursing programs with varying degrees of writing skills. The use of formative assessment can provide students and faculty with information to act upon during a course and improve learning. This study aimed to test the use of a program-level written communication rubric as a formative assessment to be able to provide targeted interventions for improvement as part of curricular evaluation. Methods. A written communication rubric (14 criteria with scores ranging from 1–4) was applied twice during the semester to assess the writing assignments of 33 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a nursing research course. A targeted intervention was designed and implemented based on deficient aggregate assessment results from the first student assignment. Results. Paired t-test analysis demonstrated a significant upward change in student performance in the second student assignment for all seven of the targeted competency scores (all p < 0.05 ). Conclusions. The use of a program-level rubric as a formative assessment paired with a targeted intervention improved the writing skills of nursing students during a single semester. By harnessing the tools of online learning management systems, faculty can quickly identify specific challenges for students in academic writing. There is potential for formative assessment to be used by faculty and students to direct the ongoing development of writing skills both during a course and throughout the program of study.
目的。护理专业的本科生在进入护理专业学习时,写作能力往往参差不齐。使用形成性评估可以为学生和教师提供信息,以便在课程中采取行动,提高学习效果。本研究旨在测试课程水平书面交流评分标准作为形成性评估的使用情况,以便在课程评估中提供有针对性的改进干预措施。研究方法在学期中两次使用书面交流评分标准(14 项标准,评分范围为 1-4)来评估 33 名参加护理研究课程的护理本科生的写作作业。根据第一次学生作业的综合评估结果,设计并实施了有针对性的干预措施。结果显示配对 t 检验分析表明,在第二次学生作业中,所有七项目标能力得分的学生成绩都有显著的上升变化(所有 p < 0.05)。结论。使用项目级别的评分标准作为形成性评估,再配合有针对性的干预措施,可以在一个学期内提高护理专业学生的写作能力。通过利用在线学习管理系统的工具,教师可以快速发现学生在学术写作中遇到的具体挑战。教师和学生有可能利用形成性评估来指导学生在课程和整个学习过程中写作能力的持续发展。

Aim. To examine death anxiety and its related factors among candidates to become advanced nurse practitioners. Background. Nurses are required to care for dying patients and frequently face death-related issues in clinical practice. Yet, as human beings, it is natural for nurses to feel anxious about their own mortality, which can be incited by witnessing the death of another person. It is evident that a nurse’s death anxiety level may influence how they care for their patients. However, studies to date focus primarily on the death anxiety of patients. Little is known about such experiences among registered nurses, especially those training to be advanced nurse practitioners. Design. This is a quantitative cross-sectional study. Methods. Participants were postgraduate students pursuing their advanced nurse practitioner degree at Nam Dinh University of Nursing, Vietnam. The enrolment criteria included full-time student status and a willingness to participate in the study. Data were collected from 297 participants who completed a self-administered questionnaire during February or March 2022. Death anxiety was measured using Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale. Results. Most advanced nurse practitioner candidates demonstrated a moderate level of death anxiety (109/297; 39.1%). Nearly three in ten (74/297; 26.5%) reported a high level of death anxiety. No statistically significant associations between nurses’ life satisfaction, age, and death anxiety were found. Death anxiety levels did not differ by gender, work position, workplace, or frequency of caring for dying patients ( p > 0.05 ). Conclusions. There is an identified need to support nurses, especially future nurse clinical leaders, to manage their death anxiety. Professional training programs should offer nurses the opportunity to develop skills necessary to cope with their negative attitude toward death. Further research is recommended to confirm the apparent associations between death anxiety and demographic and psychosocial factors. Those relationships should be examined with appropriate consideration of the contextual and cultural environment in which the study is performed.
目的研究高级执业护士候选人的死亡焦虑及其相关因素。背景。护士需要照顾临终病人,在临床实践中经常面临与死亡有关的问题。然而,作为人类,护士自然会对自己的死亡感到焦虑,目睹他人的死亡也会激发这种焦虑。很明显,护士的死亡焦虑程度可能会影响她们如何护理病人。然而,迄今为止的研究主要集中在病人的死亡焦虑上。对于注册护士,尤其是那些正在接受高级执业护士培训的注册护士的这种经历,人们知之甚少。设计。这是一项定量横断面研究。方法。参与者为越南南定护理大学攻读高级执业护士学位的研究生。入学标准包括全日制学生身份和参与研究的意愿。297 名参与者在 2022 年 2 月或 3 月期间填写了自填问卷,研究人员从中收集了数据。死亡焦虑采用Templer死亡焦虑量表进行测量。结果显示大多数高级执业护士候选人表现出中等程度的死亡焦虑(109/297;39.1%)。近十分之三的候选人(74/297;26.5%)报告了高度的死亡焦虑。在护士的生活满意度、年龄和死亡焦虑之间没有发现有统计学意义的关联。死亡焦虑水平并不因性别、工作职位、工作地点或护理临终病人的频率而异(P > 0.05)。结论。我们发现有必要为护士,尤其是未来的临床护士领导提供支持,以管理他们的死亡焦虑。专业培训计划应为护士提供机会,发展必要的技能以应对其对死亡的消极态度。建议开展进一步研究,以确认死亡焦虑与人口和社会心理因素之间的明显关联。在研究这些关系时,应适当考虑研究的背景和文化环境。

Introduction. Value creation can begin through a joint development process. Value creation not only relies on interactions between group members but also requires studying other attributes. This study aimed to explain the experiences of nursing managers regarding value creation in nursing. Methods. A descriptive content analysis approach was used in this study. Sampling was done purposefully from April to December 2022 among the nursing managers working in Birjand educational hospitals who were willing to participate in the study. Data were collected through unstructured interviews. Graneheim and Lundman’s (2020) qualitative content analysis method was used to analyze the data, and four Lincoln and Guba criteria were used for the data rigor process. All interviews were recorded, typed in a Word file, and entered into MAXQDA (2020). Twenty-two interviews were conducted with nineteen participants. Results. In this study, eleven participants were female, and eight were male. They were employed at three different management levels, including head nurses, supervisors, and matrons. The data analysis has resulted in the identification of ten distinguished subcategories, which have been grouped into four categories based on their similarities. These four categories are concerned with value-seeking, purposeful identification of values, determining strategies to grow values, and perpetuation of values. Conclusion. By prioritizing value creation and emphasizing its importance, nursing managers can effectively improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care provided in healthcare organizations. Additionally, nursing managers play a crucial role in facilitating and maintaining values in the organization by contextualizing opportunities for the flourishing of value and directing them towards valuable benefits. Therefore, it is essential that nursing managers have a correct understanding of nursing values and value creation in nursing practice.
介绍。价值创造可以通过联合开发过程开始。价值创造不仅依赖于群体成员之间的互动,还需要研究其他属性。本研究旨在解释护理管理者在护理价值创造方面的经验。方法。本研究采用描述性内容分析方法。于2022年4月至12月有目的地对愿意参与研究的Birjand教育医院的护理管理人员进行抽样。数据是通过非结构化访谈收集的。采用Graneheim and Lundman(2020)定性内容分析方法对数据进行分析,采用Lincoln和Guba四个标准对数据进行严密性处理。将所有访谈记录下来,输入Word文件,并输入MAXQDA(2020)。对19名参与者进行了22次访谈。结果。在这项研究中,11名参与者是女性,8名是男性。她们被雇用在三个不同的管理级别,包括护士长、主管和护士长。数据分析的结果是确定了十个不同的子类别,这些子类别根据其相似性分为四类。这四个类别涉及价值寻求、有目的的价值识别、确定价值增长策略和价值永久化。结论。通过优先考虑价值创造并强调其重要性,护理经理可以有效地改善患者的治疗结果,并提高医疗保健组织提供的整体护理质量。此外,护理经理在促进和维护组织中的价值方面发挥着至关重要的作用,通过为价值的繁荣创造机会,并指导它们走向有价值的利益。因此,护理管理者在护理实践中正确认识护理价值观和价值创造至关重要。

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept of scope of practice for occupational health nurses. Background. Occupational health nurses (OHNs) practice in different industries alone or with other nurses, providing care to employees. The demand on occupational health nurses to respond to increasing organizational healthcare needs of employees and other healthcare demands raises the question, do occupational health nurses understand their scope of practice? Occupational health nurses inadvertently practicing outside their scope may jeopardize their nursing licenses, and the safety and quality of care of employees. Method. A literature review was conducted to identify defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences for the concept of scope of practice for OHNs. Walker and Avant’s eight-step framework for concept analysis was applied. Results. The defining attributes of the scope of practice for OHN include but are not limited to standards and guidelines: competency, public safety; practicing certificates; using sound judgement; regulatory restrictions, limitations of practice in occupational health settings, and type of educational qualifications. The antecedents include education, training, competency, regulation, and experience. The consequences include improved quality care when education, training, and competencies are met within the practice guidelines. Possible disciplinary actions against the nurse and employer violation of workplace safety standards may occur. Conclusion. OHNs must understand and practice within their scope of practice even when placed in situations by their employers that could defy the limits of their practice. Defining the scope of practice for OHNs will lay the framework for research studies.
目的。本文的目的是分析职业卫生护士执业范围的概念。背景。职业健康护士(OHNs)在不同行业单独或与其他护士一起执业,为员工提供护理。对职业卫生护士的需求,以应对日益增长的组织卫生保健需求的员工和其他卫生保健需求提出的问题,职业卫生护士了解他们的实践范围吗?职业卫生护士不小心在他们的范围之外执业可能会危及他们的护理执照,以及员工的安全和护理质量。方法。进行了文献综述,以确定ohn实践范围概念的定义属性、前因和后果。采用Walker和Avant的概念分析八步框架。结果。OHN实践范围的定义属性包括但不限于标准和指南:能力、公共安全;执业证书;运用合理的判断;监管限制、职业卫生机构的实践限制和教育资格类型。前因包括教育、培训、能力、规则和经验。当教育、培训和能力在实践指南范围内得到满足时,其结果包括提高护理质量。可能会对违反工作场所安全标准的护士和雇主采取纪律处分。结论。ohn必须理解并在其业务范围内进行实践,即使雇主将其置于可能违反其实践极限的情况下。确定ohn的实践范围将为研究奠定框架。

Introduction. Hospital and emergency department closures are emblematic of America’s changing healthcare delivery system, which often places rural vulnerable communities at further risk for poor health outcomes. Employing the Vulnerable Populations Conceptual Model (VPCM), we aimed to synthesize the existing research addressing care quality in these facilities and the impacts of their closures on affected communities and health status. Materials and Methods. We conducted a modified integrative literature review (outlined by Whittemore and Knafl), comparing and contrasting articles via an organizational matrix. We identified articles through three databases and ancestral searches. We included English-written, peer-reviewed articles published from 2010 forward. We excluded international and nonresearch articles that focused on the closure of specific departments (other than emergency departments). Our final sample included 26 primary research studies (24 quantitative and two qualitative). We scored the articles according to their scientific rigor and data relevance, then deductively coded them according to the VPCM constructs. Results. We identified two overarching themes from the literature: (1) association of rural hospital care and patient health outcomes and (2) access to hospital care-effects of closures and openings on rural vulnerable populations. Subthemes reflected access to care and other resources, relative risks associated with time-sensitive health events, and health outcomes. Discussion and Conclusion. We found that rural hospitals provide access to essential health services and emergency care in these vulnerable, underserved communities. Their loss may increase adverse outcomes in affected communities and the overall health system. However, our review was limited by the retrospective, nonexperimental nature of most included articles, and more data quantifying these effects and the impact of confounding factors are needed. Multidisciplinary stakeholders must jointly address declining access to hospital and emergency care by sustainably addressing social determinants of health, quality assurance, innovative healthcare delivery systems, and rural hospital funding.
介绍。医院和急诊科的关闭象征着美国不断变化的医疗保健服务体系,这往往使农村弱势社区面临更大的健康风险。利用弱势群体概念模型(VPCM),我们旨在综合现有研究,解决这些设施的护理质量以及它们的关闭对受影响社区和健康状况的影响。材料与方法。我们进行了一项改进的综合文献综述(由Whittemore和Knafl概述),通过组织矩阵对文章进行比较和对比。我们通过三个数据库和祖先搜索来确定文章。我们收录了2010年以来发表的英语写作、同行评议的文章。我们排除了关注特定部门(急诊科除外)关闭的国际和非研究性文章。我们的最终样本包括26项主要研究(24项定量研究和2项定性研究)。我们根据文章的科学严谨性和数据相关性进行评分,然后根据VPCM结构对其进行演绎编码。结果。我们从文献中确定了两个总体主题:(1)农村医院护理与患者健康结果的关联;(2)获得医院护理的机会——关闭和开放对农村弱势群体的影响。分主题反映了获得护理和其他资源的机会、与时间敏感的卫生事件相关的相对风险以及卫生结果。讨论与结论。我们发现,农村医院为这些脆弱、服务不足的社区提供了基本的卫生服务和紧急护理。他们的丧失可能会增加受影响社区和整个卫生系统的不良后果。然而,我们的综述受到大多数纳入文章的回顾性和非实验性的限制,需要更多的数据来量化这些效应和混杂因素的影响。多学科利益攸关方必须通过可持续地解决健康的社会决定因素、质量保证、创新的医疗服务体系和农村医院资金问题,共同解决住院和急诊服务机会减少的问题。
