Ethical considerations -- All ethical considerations; privacy, etc. followed- professional study.
Relative strengths of each publication -- Peer reviewed strong work and sense of issues surrounding pain, fatigue and emotional disturbances after surgery.
Relative weaknesses of each publication -- Larger sample than previous study, but still limited in scope, demographics, psychographics and geographic extrapolation.
Application of each article in nursing practices -- Using any intervention that helps patient's after a traumatic surgery is helpful; especially if that patient can ventilate their emotions, angst, and stages of healing. Short-term telephone intervention using the AFSMI technique proves quite helpful in most cases. This was also cooborated in other studies (Yarbo, et.al., 2010).
Conclusion of each article -- Statistical analysis showed that AFSMI was effective in reducing emotional distress and enhancing post-operative physical conditioning.
Summation and Conclusions: Same-day surgery is becoming the norm for a number of treatments in the modern medical paradigm. There are several reasons for this: it helps decrease costs to both the hospital and patient; it provides a way for the patient to get home quicker, usually signifying enhanced healing, and frees up needed resources for patients who require more personalized monitoring. However, breast cancer comprises almost 23 per cent of all cancers in women, which resulted in almost 1/2 million global deaths. Regardless of the circumstances of the surgery, though, it is an emotionally draining and highly stressful time for the patient (World Cancer report, 2008).
Outpatient, or same day surgery does not require an overnight hospital stay, and also centers around improved technology. There are a number of commonalities we see when dealing with same-day surgery on breast cancer. Particularly with this type of cancer, women tend to need longer, more robust support just after surgery, often feeling quite vulnerable and particularly emotional after the surgery. These women need to count on their family and friends for support, and often feel at odds with...
The authors describe findings from a survey designed to gather baseline data about changes organizations experience after implementing the Clinical Practice Model framework, and report how the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center staff used the survey findings to build the capacity of individuals accountable for implementing this integrated, interdisciplinary professional practice framework into the organization's operations." (2002) The following model has been created for monitoring the progress of the
A New Perception of Evidence-Based PracticeAbstractThree possible outcomes are expected whenever a clinical practice is conducted: correct results, representation of a random variation, or results influenced by systematic errors. Numerous factors can influence these errors; for instance, random errors might be due to play of chance, while systematic biases might be due to inadequate research or analysis (Al-Jundi, 2017). The study has depicted that biased results contribute up to 60%
Medication Reconciliation Evidence-Based Practice and the Procedural Education of Nurses Medication reconciliation is a critical issue in healthcare reform. Today, improvement in this area of treatment could have a transformative effect on the current practices of nursing and medicine administration. The discussion, literature review and research tests that are conducted hereafter will outline the implications of medication reconciliation; justify the call for improvement in this treatment area; and offer support for the
Home-based Nurse-Coached Inspiratory Muscle Training Intervention in Heart Failure In order to devise an optimal experimental study, the primary information required and used by the researcher in this study is identification of the specific research issue to be addressed. From this foundation, the best design for this study can be determined. The specific research issue in this study is key to the relevance and importance of any data observations. A
10 4 Collaboration on Cost-effectiveness Analysis This evidence-based project has addressed the use of bilingual interpreters in enhancing patient-provider communication during provider visits in comparison to using family members as interpreters. It is common knowledge that Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients face communication challenges when seeking for primary and preventative health care services. Family members are sometimes used as interpreters to help improve communication between patients and health care providers. However, this evidence-based
Nursing Education Does nursing have a unique body of knowledge or is it the application of various other fields of knowledge in a practice setting? Nursing does have a unique body of knowledge as Moyer and Whittmann-Price (2008) state "it is nursing's unique knowledge base that warrants a unique service or practice called professional nursing" (6). This means that like the other help-specific sciences nursing was founded on the basis of research
