Teamwork remains a big part of a rehabilitation unit's success. What do you do when there is dissension within the ranks and each shift becomes segregated, is resentful of the other, and spends a good part of each day complaining about the inadequacies of the current system? At one facility, patient falls, staff injuries, and workers' compensation cases were on the rise. Work became a chore that few looked forward to. Staff call-out rates increased, which added to the workload of the remaining staff A program was developed that provided a "tag-team" approach to care delivery for rehabilitation patients. Nurses and clinical assistants worked in pairs as they provided care. No single-person positioning and transfers were done when there was a clear need for two people. One staff member was not assigned to complete total care for patients when two staff members could complete the task more safely and efficiently. This "tag-team" approach produced positive outcomes with regard to patient and staff satisfaction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the impact a stroke nurse navigation program has on concurrent chart reviews and patient compliance postdischarge. Design: Phase I: Concurrent chart review of The Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center core measures for ischemic stroke patients. Phase II: Longitudinal study of 100 ischemic stroke patients discharged to home. Methods: Telephone surveys were conducted at prescribed intervals posthospital discharge (Phase II). Surveys focused onmedication compliance, follow-up medical appointment compliance, and neurovascular emergency department (ED) visits/readmissions. Findings: Phase I trends included increased stroke performancemeasures compliance. Phase II favorable trends included increased medication compliance (>98%), increased follow-up appointments (100%), decreased rate of neurovascular ED visits/rehospitalizations (3%), and improvement in activities of daily living and quality of life measures through 12 months postdischarge. Conclusions: Stroke nurse navigation increased conformity of stroke performance measures and stroke patient discharge compliance through 12 months postdischarge.

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to identify areas of caregiver engagement in stroke care as viewed by stroke survivors and family caregivers. DESIGN Interviews with stroke survivor/caregiver dyads (N = 71) from a population-based study of incident stroke. METHODS We interviewed stroke survivors and caregivers about caregiver involvement at multiple stages of stroke care. We assessed similarities and differences between stroke survivor and caregiver reports and analyzed responses to open-ended questions. FINDINGS Stroke survivor and caregiver reports of engagement were highly correlated (r = .89), although caregivers reported higher involvement. Open-ended comments suggested that, in about 25% of cases, stroke survivors and caregivers agreed that caregiver engagement led to major improvements in stroke survivor care, most commonly during onset of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Stroke survivors and caregivers report significant and impactful caregiver engagement throughout the course of stroke. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians may enhance stroke care by recognizing and facilitating caregiver efforts across all phases of stroke care.

PURPOSE To determine an incomplete spinal cord injured veteran's experience following participation in a therapeutic horseback riding program. METHODS Following the establishment of a nationwide therapeutic riding program for America's wounded service veterans in 2007, a Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse from the Michael E. DeBakey Veteran Affairs Medical Center worked with an incomplete spinal cord injured veteran who participated in the Horses for Heroes program. RESULTS This program resulted in many benefits for the veteran, including an increase in balance, muscle strength, and self-esteem. DISCUSSION A physical, psychological, and psychosocial benefit of therapeutic horseback riding is shown to have positive results for the spinal cord injured. Therapeutic riding is an emerging field where the horse is used as a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth, and learning. CONCLUSION Veterans returning from the Iraq/Afghanistan war with traumatic brain injuries, blast injuries, depression, traumatic amputations, and spinal cord injuries may benefit from this nurse-assisted therapy involving the horse.
目的了解不完全性脊髓损伤退伍军人参加治疗性骑马项目后的经历。方法:2007年，美国伤残退伍军人建立了全国性的骑马治疗项目，Michael E. DeBakey退伍军人事务医疗中心的一名注册康复护士对一名参加“英雄之马”项目的脊髓不全损伤退伍军人进行了护理。这个项目给老兵带来了很多好处，包括平衡感、肌肉力量和自尊心的增强。治疗性骑马对脊髓损伤的身体、心理和社会心理都有积极的效果。治疗性骑马是一个新兴领域，马被用作物理治疗、情感成长和学习的工具。结论从伊拉克/阿富汗战争归来的创伤性脑损伤、爆炸伤、抑郁症、创伤性截肢和脊髓损伤的退伍军人可能受益于这种涉及马的护士辅助治疗。

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to adapt an English version of the survey tool Family Needs Scale (FNS) for Turkish patients and to evaluate its psychometric properties. BACKGROUND Social care providers can reduce the risk for dysfunction in low-income families of preschoolers and increase resilience by responding to needs identified by the families themselves. Quality instruments developed to identify family needs within this population are scarce. To measure the needs of families with disabled children effectively, valid and reliable instruments that are sensitive to parents' expectations and to the constructs of nursing must be used. CONCLUSIONS Nine factors were detected in the results, Cronbach's α reliability coefficient was .95 and item-total point correlations were between .32-.81. In addition, it was found that the test-retest correlation value was .91, which was found to be statistically significant (p < .001). RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This scale can be used in nursing research projects to evaluate family needs regarding the care of children with a disability.
