Construction of a Full-Process Nursing Service Platform for Day Surgery Patients Based on Kano Model.

This study was based on the Kano model and rely on the Internet hospital to build a day surgery patient full-process nursing service platform. Based on the Internet hospital's HIS system, nursing Yuanzhuo system, patient mobile terminal (WeChat) and other information systems. The platform was designed by following the WHO's conceptual framework for developing a scaling-up strategy. It was tested and refined by a pilot in a hospital in China. The full-process care platform for day surgery patients realizes information interconnection and interoperability of patient surgical consultation, surgical inquiries, and postoperative follow-up. It consists of a WeChat applet (client) and an online website (server). Pre-experiment results show that patients are more likely to recommend the hospital's day surgery to others. The mHealth-based perioperative full-process nursing service platform for day surgery patients can initially meet the health education needs, surgical consultation needs and follow-up needs of day surgery patients.

Staffing Models: Making Increased Acuity Safe in the Pediatric ICU.

Traditional staffing models rely on the productivity metric of hours per patient day, lacking the ability to adequately capture the nursing workload. Acuity-based staffing considers the patient population's acuity for appropriate nursing workload. Using process improvement methodology, a pediatric ICU transitioned to an acuity-based staffing model resulting in an 11.3% ( P < 0.05) reduction in the acuity per nursing assignment and a decrease in reportable safety events by 61.3% ( P < 0.05).

Benefits of the Modified Version of the Illness-Wellness Continuum Model for Nurse Education.

With rapid advancements in sciences and the expanding scope of nursing practice, faculty are challenged to connect the experiences of learners with abstract concepts of science and to cultivate clinical reasoning skills. Rationale for the adoption of the illness-wellness continuum model includes the following: (a) the relationships among illness, health, and the nursing process are relevant in many health situations, and (b) levels of wellness are steeped in holistic principles of self-care, which are consistent with educational and clinical goals. The modified version of the illness-wellness continuum model can serve as the groundwork that prepares nursing students in a constantly changing workplace.

[The concept of caring and its contemporary translation: the view of French doctoral candidates]. / Le concept de caring et sa traduction contemporaine : regard de candidats au doctorat français.

Jean Watson developed, in the United States, a conceptual model of nursing based on caring. A term sometimes translated as "to care" without properly reflecting what the concept entails. This theory has been adopted in many countries. Some authors report that it brings satisfaction to students, nurses, and managers of health facilities. Based on Watson's work, Chantal Cara built the humanist model of nursing at Montreal University. The aim of the project is to improve the well-being of patients and caregivers. It is likely to retain existing nurses and attract the next generation to the institutions which implement it.

[The cultural intermediary model, a source of alternative views on nursing activity in palliative care]. / Le modèle d'intermédiaire culturel, source d'autres regards sur l'activité infirmière en soins palliatifs.

Impact aims to improve patient partnership, individualize care and integrate IPAs into a research dynamic.

Models for designing health-oriented nursing practice : contributions to nursing practice and the nursing discipline / Des modèles pour concevoir la pratique infirmière pour la santé : quels apports à la pratique et la discipline infirmières ?

Health generally represents what nurses should strive for in their practice. However, due to their general nature, the definitions of health are problematic for designing a health-oriented nursing practice. Rather than attempting to design it through a conceptual definition of what health is, some authors from the human sciences suggest using models that allow for a concrete commitment to health. Although this avenue is little explored in nursing, it is suggested that these practice-oriented health models would make it possible to design actionable mechanisms that generate health through practices, like nursing. The objective of this article is, through existing practice-oriented health models, to propose actionable mechanisms of health-oriented nursing practice. By invoking two models, from the writings of the philosopher Nordenfelt, as well as the sociologist Venkatapuram, two illustrations are proposed, both of which allow us to propose different actionable mechanisms. Anchored in the values that support a health-oriented practice, as well as in a descriptive component, this reflection highlights the potential of such models to concretely pursue a health-oriented nursing practice. These proposals appear to be promising for the participation of nursing science in the transdisciplinary understanding of health.

La santé représente généralement ce vers quoi les infirmières devraient tendre dans leur pratique. Toutefois, par leurs natures générales et parfois divergentes, les définitions du concept de santé s'avèrent problématiques pour concevoir une pratique infirmière engagée pour la santé. Plutôt que de tenter de la concevoir par une définition du concept de santé, certains auteurs des sciences humaines suggèrent de recourir à des modèles qui permettent de s'y engager concrètement. À partir de modèles existants de pratique pour la santé, l'objectif de cet article est de proposer des mécanismes actionnables permettant de générer une pratique infirmière pour la santé. Par l'invocation de deux modèles, provenant des écrits du philosophe Nordenfelt, ainsi que du sociologue Venkatapuram, deux illustrations sont proposées, permettant toutes deux de concevoir différents mécanismes actionnables. Par un ancrage dans les valeurs constitutives d'une pratique pour la santé, et par une composante descriptive, cette réflexion met en évidence le potentiel de tels modèles pour poursuivre concrètement une pratique infirmière pour la santé. Ces propositions semblent porteuses à la participation des sciences infirmières à la compréhension transdisciplinaire du concept de santé.

Intensive Primary Care Nursing: Exploring the Impact of a Nurse-Led Model for Medically and Social Complex Patients.

Lack of access to primary care contributes to health inequities. Treatment settings that utilize the full experience and training of nurses, both registered nurses (RNs) and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), can expand in primary care and successfully address health inequities. This small study describes the implementation of a model of primary care called intensive primary care (IPC), which has eight elements that support the full utilization of a nurse's experience and training. This is a mixed method qualitative study, which reports the observations of the implementation and pre- and post-intervention measures. The IPC model was implemented at a free clinic, which targeted underserved population between 2020 and 2023. Participants were selected as a convenience sample. Participants were to have two or more chronic health problems The participants received primary care using the IPC model, which included setting self-management goals, and meeting with RN or APRN on a monthly basis (face to face, via phone or zoom) to monitor progress toward goals. Twenty-two people were approached, and 19 completed the intervention. Pre- and Post-intervention measures (Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care [PACIC]-20); Functional, Communicative, Critical Thinking Health Literacy; Perceived Stress; Patient Activation; Perceived Self Efficacy for Chronic Disease; EuroQo- 5 Dimension (EQ-5D); Trust in Provider; Emotional Support-Patient Reported Outcome Measure Information System (PROMIS); and Patient Health Questionnaire-9) were obtained and analyzed with paired T test (α < .05). Nurses involved meet weekly to share observations recorded in free form notes. These observations were summarized by two of the authors (MD and KF) at the end of the study. All patients had improved physical health outcomes, but more importantly, there were significant improvements in measures known to impact health and health outcomes, specifically, patient activation, self-efficacy for chronic illness, PACIC, and trust in provider. Time spent with patients, both duration and frequency of contact, was observed to have significant impacts.

Utilizing the 'Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice' to Develop an Intervention for Use in a Hemodialysis Setting.

The development of nursing evidence within hemodialysis is challenged by the vast numbers of specialized tasks clinicians undertake. Developing an evidence base is complex and multi-faceted, requiring a collaborative and well-defined process. Commonly, a process of quality improvement is initially undertaken, whereby nurses develop a plan, undertake action, study outcomes, and review results. However, when reviewing current processes to identify and develop evidence-based practices across various health services, a more detailed and planned methodology is required. This article provides nurses with knowledge to apply a well-defined framework (the Iowa Model-Revised of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excel lence in Health Care) to transform a quality improvement project into the development of evidence-based practice.

Driving change: NICHE community engagement, integration, and adoption initiatives.

As NICHE enters its fourth decade, it is a nursing innovation that has endured and adapted to meet the needs of older adults by fortifying the geriatric nursing workforce. Examining "Why NICHE and why now?" to guide NICHE implementation is important for the NICHE program and its members. The next steps for the NICHE community aim to build on our collective strengths, deepen integration with established geriatric quality programs and nursing professional organization partners, and increase the adoption of the NICHE practice model. These priorities and ways NICHE members may join in achieving them are outlined in this month's column.

The emotional boundary seesaw model to help cancer clinical nurse specialists work with patients who challenge them.

Receiving a diagnosis of cancer and receiving treatment can be physically and psychologically onerous for cancer patients. Alongside their nursing skills, cancer clinical nurse specialists (CCNSs) are trained to provide psychological support, assessment and intervention following a cancer diagnosis. Mental health specialists, usually clinical psychologists, provide clinical supervision to CCNSs to support them with this. One of the regular themes that comes up in clinical supervision with CCNSs is how to maintain a supportive and therapeutic relationship with 'challenging' patients. These patients may be considered challenging because they are inconsistent, demanding or ambivalent about their care, which puts a strain on the relationship with their CCNS. By using the emotional seesaw model to reflect on and attend to the emotional boundaries of the relationship, within clinical supervision, these challenging relationships can be understood and managed, and better outcomes for the patient can be achieved.

The Mountain Model for Evidence-Based Practice Quality Improvement Initiatives.

ABSTRACT: This article introduces the Mountain Model, the first conceptual model for evidence-based practice quality improvement (EBPQI) initiatives. The Mountain Model merges modern evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) paradigm principles into a unified conceptual framework with the goal of disseminating and sustaining EBPQI projects across health care and related settings. The model was developed within the nursing discipline, but is designed for transdisciplinary implementation through interprofessional teams.

Theory-Guided Care of Intimate Partner Violence Trauma Patients in the Acute Care Setting Using the Vulnerable Populations Conceptual Model.

Background and Purpose: Vulnerable populations are social groups at increased risk for poor health outcomes. According to the vulnerable populations conceptual model (VPCM) nursing theory, vulnerable groups such as survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) are at risk for disease, morbidity, and mortality due to limited resources. The purpose of this article is to propose the VPCM as an organizing theoretical framework in the acute care setting of trauma patients suffering from IPV by outlining the factors affecting the care of this vulnerable population. Results: This synthesis of the literature outlines the decreased resource availability and increased relative risk encountered by IPV survivors, which results in poor health, which supports the application of the VPCM as a guiding theory. The VPCM provides a structure for understanding IPV patients and equips nursing with a framework for taking action through engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation of practice when caring for this vulnerable trauma population in the acute care setting. Implications for Practice: Using a theory-based model provides a framework for clinical practice interventions. Further research in the application of the VPCM as a theoretical basis for caring for trauma patients who are survivors of IPV is needed.

Measuring the PULSE of Nursing: Development of a Dashboard to Evaluate and Monitor Nursing Care Models.

BACKGROUND: Critical nursing shortages have required many health care organizations to restructure nursing care delivery models. At a tertiary health care center, 150 registered practical nurses were integrated into acute inpatient care settings. PROBLEM: A mechanism to continuously monitor the impact of this staffing change was not available. APPROACH: Leveraging current literature and consultation with external peers, metrics were compiled and categorized according to Donabedian's Structure Process Outcome Framework. Consultation with internal subject matter experts determined the final metrics. OUTCOMES: The Patient care, Utility, Logistics, Systemic Evaluation (PULSE) electronic dashboard was developed, capturing metrics from multiple internal databases and presenting real-time composites of validated indicators. CONCLUSION: The PULSE dashboard is a practical means of enabling nursing leadership to evaluate the impact of change and to make evidence-informed decisions about nursing care delivery at our organization.

A Paradigm Shift for the Nursing Education Model: A Scoping Review.

BACKGROUND: The Nursing Education Model (NEM) introduced a framework for education reform. This study examined the applications of NEM in education to determine whether modifications to NEM were warranted. METHOD: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews process for scoping reviews was used. Online databases and searches identified peer-reviewed articles published from 2010-to June 2023, and 71 articles were identified that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: Six themes were derived from the findings: (1) learner-centered curricula; (2) instructional methods; (3) inclusive classrooms; (4) pedagogical creativity; (5) bridge theory-clinical divide; and (6) multiple units of analysis. CONCLUSION: The findings support the application of the NEM to promote a paradigm shift in instructional content, methods, and evaluation of outcomes. Based on use of the model identified in the literature, future modifications to NEM may be indicated, based on continued evidence. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(3):141-147.].
