Full textby the researcher during the research process. The dual data analyses were guided by the phenomenological approach of van Manen and by that of various nursing scholars who have used phenomenological methodology as it has evolved from American continental philosophy. These analyses included several levels of reflection undertaken by the researcher and each of the participants in the study to illustrate the nature of health in nurses' lives and in nursing.The nature of health, as revealed through the original experience of the participants, was disclosed as manifest in the lives of the participants with most descriptions conveying a sense of contentment that showed as feelings of happiness, feeling alive, complete, energised and optimistic. Health also revealed itself as transient in nature, passing quickly and without notice into and out of the lives of most of the participants. Although obvious in some ways, health simultaneously eluded clear description and, even at the completion of the exploration with each participant, was characterised by an atmosphere of elusiveness. For all the participants, health was an embodied phenomenon with a common element of energy and a sense of wellbeing. These, together with a sense that life was manageable and achievable gave to it a distinctive spirit, even while the spirit simultaneously helped to make life manageable and achievable and thus contributed to health. For all of those who participated, health presented as having the ability to transform their emotional responses to daily life events in such a way that it made those events more acceptable and the tasks of life more achievable.Although health showed as a physical, embodied state which was expressed as vitality and energy, it could not be separated from the mental / emotional state. As it was described, the following leitmotifs of health were lexically revealed: Health: ++
A different encounter for each person, Health described as peace, Health described as feeling good about oneself, Health described as balance, Health as energy, Health as vitality and zest, Health described as happiness and/or contentment, Health described as quality of life, The 'picture of health', Health described as dignity, and Health as the unknown or the inexpressible.The nature of health-focused care in nursing showed as caring, rapport building and support, ever dependent on the social relationship that develops between each nurse-carer and the individual to whom they offer care. However, clear relationships between the meanings of health for the nurses in the study and the way they gave health care could not be elucidated. These relationships have not been identified because of the individualistic nature of health-focused care as these nurses have described it. For this reason, this research makes a strong plea for continued dialogue about the relationships between health and health-focused care in nursing.

Full textNurse practitioners (NPs) have been undergoing a rapid transition in their entry-level degree, from Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). At this time, it is important to establish research evidence on the effects of doctoral education on NP practice. Therefore, a qualitative study of practicing NPs that have returned for the DNP degree was conducted. The purpose was to describe NPs' perceptions of their DNP education, and particularly its influence on their professionalism and patient care. A literature review and evidence synthesis process showed that the available body of research provides little insight into the question of how DNP education affects NP practice; therefore, qualitative description methodology was used to describe this phenomenon. The research questions that guided the study were: 1) What changes do practicing NPs describe about their clinical practice after the experience of completing a DNP?; and, 2) What are the NPs' perceptions of and concerns about the influences of their DNP educational experience on their clinical practice? Two published models and the DNP Essentials (AACN, 2006) informed and guided the data collection and analysis process. Purposive sampling and analyses continued concurrently until data saturation was achieved. Ten DNP prepared NPs were interviewed, and there was wide variation in the sample. The overarching theme Growth into DNP Practice summarizes the participants' perceptions of the changes that have occurred as a result of their DNP educational experience. Four major themes that support the overarching theme are: (a) Broader Thinking and Work Focus; (b) New Knowledge and Interests; (c) New Opportunities; and, (d) "Doctor" Title an Asset. Conceptual categories under each major theme are described. Participants were overwhelmingly positive about the influences of their DNP education on their practice, but the role of the DNP graduate in knowledge translation has yet to be fully operationalized.

Full textA significant share of deliveries are performed by Cesarian section (C-section) in Europe and j many developed and developing countries. The aims of this thesis are to highlight the non medical, especially economic and financial, incentives that expIain the use of C-section, as well as the medical consequences of C-section on women's health, in regard with other factors of obstetrical care quality such as hospital concentration. Our analysis focus on two countries, France and Switzerland. In the first part of the thesis, we show the influence of two non medical factors on to C-section use, namely the hospital payment system and the obstetricians behaviour, especially their demand for leisure. We show payment system and the number of obstetricians have an impact on C-section use and that the rise of C-section rate between 2003 and 2006 is mainly caused by changes in hospitals and patients features. Yet, it can show that obstetricians change their coding practises to justify the use of certain practice. Using Shelton Brown III identification strategy, we found a potential impact of obstetricians leisure preference on the use of C-section, demand for leisure has a significant impact on the resort to emergency C-section. The second part of the thesis deals with obstetric care quality , using swiss and french data to study the impact of C-section on the patients' probability of having an obstetric complication and the influence of concentration between hospitals on the quality of obstetric care. We find there are risks entailed by C-section on obstetric complications. We find that hospital concentration has a negative impact on obstetric care quality

Full textThe term of “dual practice physician” in this research refers to physicians who work in public health care facility owned by government and at the same time also engaged in private practice. Part one will analyse the relationship between public and private provider under dual practice regulation in term of price and quality setting in the public facility. This theoretical work is vital to link dual practice from demand and supply side that appears in Part two and Part three. The research wants to answer particular questions on how a private provider selects its price and quality level after knowing the public price and quality set by government under dual practice compared to non-dual practice regulation. The model also emphasizes the existence of insurance scheme in the system. Health care access enhancement in developing country usually takes one of two forms increasing the supply through allowing physicians to have dual jobs and increasing financial access through insurance coverage

Full textEn contexte d’urgences humanitaires et de sinistres naturels, la capacité des agences locales et nationales à répondre aux besoins des populations affectées est lourdement entravée. Dans ces situations de crise, des organismes internationaux d'aide humanitaire sont souvent impliqués pour offrir leur assistance. Les professionnels des soins de santé jouent un rôle important dans ces interventions. Ces contextes singuliers de pratique pour ces professionnels de la santé expatriés diffèrent beaucoup de l’environnement familier dans lequel ils évoluent dans leur pays d’origine. Les cliniciens qui sont transportés d’un pays développé à des régions dévastées par des crises humanitaires vivent des changements d’environnement professionnel, social, culturel et juridique souvent drastiques. Dans ce projet de thèse, j'examine l'éthique de la pratique en santé dans des zones de crises humanitaires. En premier lieu, j’effectue une recension critique de la littérature consacrée à la bioéthique globale, à l’éthique de la santé globale et à l’éthique humanitaire en vue d’identifier la contribution de certains modèles éthiques et d’approches normatives sur les problèmes qui me préoccupent. Je développe également une série de questions destinée aux professionnels de la santé pour les aider à mieux analyser la nature des enjeux moraux auxquels ils sont confrontés, de même que pour orienter leur processus décisionnel face aux dilemmes rencontrés. Le volet empirique de ce programme de recherche examine l’expérience morale des professionnels des soins de santé en contexte de travail humanitaire, ainsi que les expériences des cliniciens des ressources et des contraintes pour aborder les enjeux moraux en situation de crise humanitaire. Je propose des stratégies et des approches que les organismes humanitaires, les équipes locales d’intervenants, ainsi que les professionnels de la santé peuvent développ

Full textA presente dissertação traz uma reflexão sobre a prática do Serviço Social em sua relação com o campo da saúde mental, a partir do discurso dos assistentes sociais inseridos nos serviços de saúde mental do município de Niterói. O estudo, de cunho qualitativo, buscou conhecer como vem se desenvolvendo a prática do Serviço Social na Saúde Mental, suas especificidades, desafios e contribuição para um campo que se reconhece como interdisciplinar. Para tal, reportamo-nos para a história da profissão e sua relação com este campo de atuação, refletindo sobre os marcos teóricos do Movimento da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira e suas implicações na prática profissional. Com apoio na Sociologia das Profissões, procurou-se compreender o processo de profissionalização do Serviço Social, os desafios e entraves enfrentados por seus profissionais no campo em questão. A analise realizada evidencia que os profissionais entrevistados consideram que o Campo da Saúde Mental lhes exige uma atitude de maior flexibilidade para com suas intervenções, o que não deixa de ter seu preço, na medida em que implica em uma indefinição quanto à posição ocupada pela profissão no referido campo.
This present dissertation brings forward a reflection about the practice of Social Service and its connection with the mental health field, taking as a starting point the speech of social workers that are involved in mental health services in the city of Niterói. This study, of quantitative purpose, has sought to know how the practice of Social Service has developed in Mental Health, its specifications, challenges and contribution to a field that is known for its interdisciplinary quality. To accomplish it, we refer back to the history of the profession and its relation with this field, reflecting on the theoretical marks of the Brazil`s Movement for Psychiatric Reform and its implications in professional practice. We have sought to understand the process of the professionalization of Social Service, the challenges and hindrances faced by their professionals in the Mental Health field with the help of the Sociology of Professions. The analysis undertaken shows that interviewed professionals consider that the Mental Health field demands a more flexible attitude in their interventions, which indicates they have to pay a price, given that it means to not have the position they occupy defined in the referred field.

Full textPurpose: The purpose of this DNP quality improvement project was to increase primary care provider knowledge about indications for adolescent depression screening.
Background: Approximately 13.3% of adolescents experienced depression in the past year. In Oklahoma alone, rates are increasing, with depression totaling 60% of all mental health illness among adolescents. Primary care providers see approximately 75% of adolescents; however, mental health conditions are missed 84% of the time. Current clinical guidelines recommend screening for adolescent depression during wellness visits or when risk factors are present.
Methods: The providers of interest were nurse practitioners, physicians, and physician assistants providing primary care to children between the ages of 12 and 17 in a private pediatric practice group consisting of three clinics. The Model for Improvement guided the process of developing, implementing, and evaluating an educational intervention through use of a pre-test/post-test quantitative design. An email invited participants to complete an anonymous pre-test survey to evaluate knowledge and beliefs surrounding adolescent depression, then view an educational presentation on adolescent depression and screening guidelines, then complete a post-survey to evaluate any changes in knowledge and intention to screen. Results were shared with clinic representatives to help refine the education for future testing cycles and other clinic sites.
Results: Data collection took place over one week. Five providers completed both the pre-test and post-test surveys. Provider knowledge scores significantly increased 29% after participating in the education and self-reported knowledge on screening increased.
Conclusions: DNP quality improvement projects like this help develop strategies to increase best practices, leading to improved patient outcomes. Nurse-led improvement programs like this contribute to healthcare literature and the advancement of the nursing profession by developing patient-centered interventions applicable to a wide variety of providers. Results may be used to develop strategies to increase and align provider practices with best standards to help promote early identification and treatment of adolescents with depression.

This thesis is about diabetics and their theories about their health practices. Daily decisions, such as eating and exercise habits, have clear consequences for a diabetic's health, yet many of them fail to change their behavior patterns despite knowing facts about the disease. I assumed that they might change their practices if the relationship between their actions and their blood glucose levels was made explicit. To do this, I introduced photography into diabetes diagnosis, asking people to collect images of their daily activities to complement their glucose monitoring. By combining quantitative glucose measurements with qualitative portraits of action, I hoped to make the relationship between physiology and behavior an object for discussion and reflection. More so, I hoped that diabetics who viewed these data would begin to develop new interpretations of their lifestyles that would ultimately lead to healthier activities. I will discuss studies conducted in diabetes education courses and a set of visualization tools that I designed to help people see correlations between glucose data and photographs of activity. The results of these studies suggest that photographing activities may have the potential to change the ways that diabetics understand and deal with their health.

Full textStandards for integration of spirituality and religion within mental health training continue to be ambiguous. Although increased attention has incorporated such diversity into multiculturalism, proficiency remains inadequate among non-religiously affiliated individuals and institutions. This study examined competence levels utilizing the Revised Spiritual Competence Scale II (SCS-R-II) and the Spiritual and Religious Competency Assessment (SARCA). Participants were 125 students attending accredited counseling, psychology, and social work schools in the United States. Counselor trainees scored highest on both measures as did students with very strong personal religious affiliation and attendees of Christian affiliated schools. Implications and future recommendations are discussed.
