Full textAbstract:
The mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (IPV) is a controversial issue that is receiving increased attention. A related concern is whether children’s exposure to IPV constitutes child maltreatment, making it reportable to child protective services. These issues have been relatively unexplored within the context of home visitation programs. A secondary analysis of qualitative data collected from community stakeholders, clients, and home visiting nurses in the Nurse–Family Partnership program was carried out. Participants’ perceptions about mandatory reporting of IPV and reporting of children’s exposure to IPV are highlighted. Emergent themes and implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

Early intervention on frailty can help prevent or delay functional decline and onset of dependency. Community nurses encounter patients with frailty routinely and have opportunities to influence frailty trajectories for individuals and their carers. This study aimed to understand nurses' perceptions of frailty in a community setting and their needs for education on its assessment and management. Using an exploratory qualitative design we conducted focus groups in one Health Board in Scotland. Thematic content analysis of data was facilitated by NVivo© software. A total of 18 nurses described the meaning of frailty as vulnerability, loss and complex comorbidity and identified processes of caring for people with frailty. They identified existing educational needs necessary to support their current efforts to build capability through existing adversities. Our study indicates that current practice is largely reactive, influenced by professional judgement and intuition, with little systematic frailty-specific screening and assessment.

15 teachers of Kindergarten through Grade 2 in two schools from a rural southeastern United States community completed the Philosophy of Teaching Scale and indicated on the Child Behavior Checklist their perceptions of 309 children in their classrooms who might show problems of attention. A difference was found between teachers of structured and unstructured orientations in the number of children they reported to be hyperactive. The former group perceived significantly more children in their classrooms to be hyperactive.

Abstract Introduction Sleep disruption in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is highly prevalent and may contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. Although clinical practice guidelines recommend routine assessment of sleep, surveys of ICU clinicians indicate that sleep assessment programs (SAP) are rarely implemented. The purpose of the current project was to characterize sleep-related perceptions, practices, and knowledge among ICU nurses, to identify barriers and facilitators of implementation of a systematic SAP. Methods A 29-item, paper-based survey was administered to all nurses (N=220) in a medical ICU at a 750-bed academic medical center and a mixed ICU in a 300-bed community hospital. Voluntary survey completion was conducted over four weeks. Descriptive statistics were employed. Results A total of 163 surveys were completed (74.1%). Participants were primarily female (n=135; 82.8%), day-shift nurses (n=83; 50.9%), with 2-5 years of ICU experience (n=70; 42.9%). Respondents said they sometimes (n=52; 31.9%), and often (n=52; 31.9%), assess sleep, and 76.1% (n=124) reported not assessing sleep formally in the last three shifts. Approximately half of the respondents (n=85; 52.1%) were not aware of clinical practice guideline recommendations for sleep in the ICU. Most nurses reported that their unit could benefit from a SAP (n=101; 62.0%) and that they should have a primary responsibility in ensuring that sleep is discussed daily (n=144; 88.3%). Conclusion Despite published guidelines recommending routine sleep assessment, ICU nurses report infrequent assessment and a lack of awareness of these guidelines. However, ICU nurses believe implementation of routine sleep assessments would be beneficial to patient care. This suggests that SAP implementation would be positively received by ICU nurses. Future studies evaluating knowledge and site-specific perceptions and practices, as well as nursing staff characteristics, can further guide implementation of SAPs in the ICU. Support

Introduction: As the Arab American population grows in the United States, relatively little has been published about the health status of this population. The purpose of the research was to (1) discover health care perceptions of Arab Americans and (2) identify strategies to ensure the provision of culturally congruent health care. Method: Community-based participatory research methodology was used for this descriptive study. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with Arab Americans residing in northeast Pennsylvania. Results: Three themes were identified: (1) perceptions of health resulting in delays in seeking health care, (2) cultural values and practices resulting in need for culturally congruent provision of care, and (3) mistrust of the U.S. health care system resulting in underutilization of services. Discussion: Results indicate the need for nurses to implement culturally congruent community-based strategies and interventions for meeting health care needs of Arab Americans. By understanding the community’s perceptions and attitudes, nurses will be better positioned to ultimately move toward the goal of reducing health disparities in this underserved population.

Full textAbstract:
Background/aims: Health promotion for cardiovascular disease risk factors management is essential to secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease events. In Ireland, post-cardiac rehabilitation patients are discharged into the care of community public health nurses, who have a health promotion role. Little is known of the public health nurses’ perceptions or knowledge surrounding their role in cardiovascular disease risk factor management. Underpinned by a constructivist viewpoint, this study aims to generate empirical evidence on the phenomenon directly from public health nurses’ encounters within the context of the current health service. Methods: This qualitative cross-sectional analysis involved face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of 17 public health nurses. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, subjected to thematic content analysis and subsequently reported incorporating verbatim quotes. Results: A significant gap exists between evidence-based guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention and current practices. Variations in public health nurses’ training, experience and knowledge result in inconsistent practices, and public health nurses feel this is specialised area for which they are not equipped. The changing public health nurse role and increasing workloads result in prioritisation of other nursing duties over health promotion. Ineffective systems for care delivery and a lack of community-based rehabilitation programmes also negatively impact on secondary prevention practices. Conclusions: Findings support the need to develop a community cardiovascular disease specialist role to effectively support ongoing cardiovascular disease risk factor management. Evaluation of the mechanisms of current service delivery is required to ensure a quality-assured equitable service, in line with community needs and current evidence-based guidelines for practice. A quantitative triangulation study is recommended.

Purpose The purpose of this project was to explore characteristics impacting the transmission of a heritage language from a parent to a child from the parent's perspective to better understand challenges that families may face when trying to pass on a heritage language to their children. Method In this pilot study, 14 interviews were conducted with individuals who reported they were currently raising or had raised at least 1 child to be able to speak about language transfer practices and beliefs. Participants were interviewed regarding their own language use and proficiency. Participants were asked questions pertaining to their attitudes and their children's attitudes toward their home language. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for emergent themes related to language transmission and challenges to passing down the heritage language to their child. Results Common themes that emerged related to parents passing down their heritage language included the community the families resided in and the parent's proficiency level. Conclusion It is important for educators and clinicians to understand how a parent's decision to pass down their language may be impacted by how much community support they experience and how proficient parents are in their heritage language. Implications of these results for educators and caretakers are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
PURPOSE: Uterotonic drugs, administered immediately after delivery, can prevent postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). As programs expand uterotonic access in settings of high maternal mortality, it is important to understand why and how these drugs are currently used. This qualitative study aimed to describe Ghanaian health care providers’ and community members’ knowledge, perceptions, and practices of uterotonic usage at or near labor and delivery.METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted in 3 districts with 185 physicians, medical assistants, midwives, nurses, new mothers, mothers aged 50 years and older, traditional birth attendants, and chemists.FINDINGS: Providers described using misoprostol most commonly for labor induction, oxytocin for labor augmentation and PPH prevention, and ergometrine for PPH treatment. Unsafe practices and knowledge gaps were identified regarding labor augmentation and uterotonic storage. Community members reported experience with uterotonics in facility deliveries. Community-based use of pharmaceutical uterotonics was rarely reported, except misoprostol for pregnancy termination; however, community members described use of herbal medicines for intended uterotonic effect. Across respondent categories, uterotonics were more commonly associated with accelerating delivery than PPH prevention.CONCLUSION: Programs promoting facility childbirth and/or uterotonic coverage at home births should consider these underlying patterns of use and encourage safe practices through provider and community engagement.

Full textAbstract:
Heat waves are the second leading cause of weather-related morbidity and mortality affecting millions of individuals globally, every year. The aim of this study was to understand the perceptions and practices of community residents and healthcare professionals with respect to identification and treatment of heat emergencies. A qualitative study was conducted using focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, with the residents of an urban squatter settlement, community health workers, and physicians and nurses working in the emergency departments of three local hospitals in Karachi. Data was analyzed using content analysis. The themes that emerged were (1) perceptions of the community on heat emergencies; (2) recognition and early treatment at home; (3) access and quality of care in the hospital; (4) recognition and treatment at the health facility; (5) facility level plan; (6) training. Community members were able to recognize dehydration as a heat emergency. Males, elderly, and school-going children were considered at high risk for heat emergencies. The timely treatment of heat emergencies was widely linked with availability of financial resources. Limited availability of water, electricity, and open public spaces were identified as risk factors for heat emergencies. Home based remedies were reported as the preferred practice for treatment by community members. Both community members and healthcare professionals were cognizant of recognizing heat related emergencies.

The aim of this study is to analyse the discourses drawn upon by community paediatric nurses in relation to children’s rights to health. The philosophy of Michel Foucault has been used to underpin the analysis of the interviews and exemplars of five experienced community nurses, revealing conflicting power relationships and discourses. Rights are formalised morality and so from a children’s rights perspective, discourses reflect both the moral and ethical positions of the nurses. Children are constructed as developing human beings whose moral status gradually changes and who, through a lack of developmental autonomy, entrust their decision-making to their representatives (parents and caregivers) as their trustees. Rights are correlative with the obligations and duties toward children by both families and society. Society constructs legislative and politically organised structures to govern raising children because children are an intrinsic social concern. Whilst representing society’s interest in children’s rights to health, nurses in the home act as a conduit for multiple governing structures. The nurses in this study construct their “truths” and knowledge about children’s health rights from nursing, medicine, law, education, and social policy. However, the values of individual parents can conflict with universal values for children’s health and wellbeing. Therefore representing society positions nurses as “agents of the state”, a role that potentially holds power over parents and children and leads to the epithet of “the health police”. Within the institution of the family, and in the privacy of the home, there are also mechanisms of power that can resist the mechanisms of the state and its representatives. Therefore the discourse “it takes a village to raise a child” competes with the “my home is my castle” discourse. Nurses negotiate a fine balance between these power relations. Nurses are challenged with using power productively to promote children’s rights whilst respecting the role of parents and families. I argue that children’s rights are central to the moral and ethical work of nurses but that such work is often obscured and invisible. I propose that children’s community nurses are excellent at negotiating networking and connecting at a micro level, but need to create a more sophisticated and cohesive entity at a macro level to become fully political children’s rights advocates.

This chapter discusses the challenges faced by one pediatric medical institution as it worked in partnership with a local school district to provide access to pediatric care through a telemedicine unit embedded in the nurse's office of the various schools within the district. The chapter touches on perceptions the community had about sharing sensitive personal health information in a school setting using mobile technology, fears related to immigration status, and operational issues encountered when deploying a new technology across multiple sites. Despite the challenges, potential benefits to the health and well-being of the community far outweighed the difficulties faced during these early days of telemedicine adoption.

This chapter examines the dynamics of Hong Kong’s Eurasian community (from the 1860s to the 1960s) in terms of the community’s perception of its own members, the attitudes of its members towards their own European and Chinese heritage, and the mutual perceptions and interactions with other ethnic groups in the city during the period in question. Despite the fact that many Eurasians have served in various roles in Hong Kong, in both the public and private sectors, from doctors and lawyers to nurses, teachers, clerks and stenographers, particularly since the late 1800s, not much is known about this community. Unlike other ethnic groups such as the Parsee and the Portuguese communities, who shared a common religion common cultural practices identity, the sense of community among Eurasians was nebulous and sporadic. Ironically, one common practice shared by members of this community was a conscious attempt to de-emphasize their membership of this ethnic group and a reluctance to acknowledge their Eurasian heritage both on an individual and collective level.
