Abstract:
Background: There has been an increasing shift in patient care from the acute hospital setting to the community. Nurses play an essential role as part of the community health care workforce; however, only a limited number of baccalaureate nursing students tend to choose a career in community health nursing after graduation. There is currently a gap in knowledge surrounding nursing students’ perception of a career in Community Health Nursing and the issues influencing their career choice upon graduation. Purpose: To explore issues that influence career choice in community health nursing from the perspective of baccalaureate nursing students. Research Methodology: The study was guided by a descriptive qualitative research approach. Individual semi-guided interviews and focus groups were conducted with 11 nursing students and a group of key stakeholders to share their thoughts on pursuing a career in community health nursing and the factors that enabled or hindered their decision making. Thematic analysis of the interview and focus group data generated relevant themes. Findings: Five major themes were revealed from study. These are 1) defining community health nursing, 2) the clinical practicum experience, 3) stereotypes of community health nursing, 4) societal trends and expectations, and 5) issues influencing career choice in community health nursing. Discussion and Implications: The personal and contextual factors influencing the perceptions and attitudes of students towards pursuing community health nursing were discussed. Existing literature was integrated into the discussion of the many factors that both motivated and hindered baccalaureate nursing students from pursuing community health nursing. The underrepresentation of new graduates in community health nursing calls for directed efforts by community health nursing organizations and the university to improve the situation. Conscientious efforts need to be made to provide students with knowledge and information surrounding the roles of community health nurses and the opportunities for nursing students and nurses in community health nursing settings. Conclusion: There is a need to increase awareness about community health nursing in order for nursing students to understand the importance and impact it has on the health status of communities and healthcare delivery infrastructure. Nursing education programs would be an ideal platform for this awareness-raising and facilitate student nurses decision to pursue community health nursing as a career.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to describe the types of ethical dilemmas experienced by community health nurses and their responses to them. Specifically, the research questions directed the identification of those clinical situations which contained the dilemmas, the inherent ethical conflicts, the nurses' responses to them, and the forces influencing their occurrence. Due to the exploratory nature of the study, a descriptive survey was selected as the research method. The Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, 1954) and the Model for Critical Ethical Analysis (Curtin, 1978) were the basis for the development of the data collection guide. The CHNs who received copies of the guide were asked to describe in writing the practice situations which had contained dilemmas and their responses to them. Thirty CHNs practicing in communities throughout B.C participated by completing and returning their responses to the guides. Their written responses indicated they were able to identify common practice situations which had contained ethical dilemmas. Furthermore, these nurses were able to identify the conflicts which had existed for them, their feelings, and their experiences with the decision-making process. Content analyses of the nurses' responses resulted in three categories of dilemmas - clients' rights, system interaction, and nurses' rights. Within these categories, the dilemmas are characterized by one or more ethical conflicts which resulted in difficult choices for the nurses. During data analysis, the situations were further analyzed to identify underlying ethical themes and influential forces. The ethical themes underlying the nurses' dilemmas fundamentally involved conflicts between the principles of autonomy, beneficence and justice. Additionally, human rights and value conflicts are relevant in situations where the nurses are caring for high-risk client groups; interacting with the health care team; and asserting their own rights as employees, professional nurses, and citizens. Key restraining and driving forces influenced the CHNs' experience with the dilemmas. Restraining forces included policy, and a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration. Driving forces included supportive nursing leadership, consultants from other disciplines, nursing knowledge and skill, the nurse-client relationship and most importantly the nurses' interaction with colleagues. These CHNs saw their role as one of an advocate for their clients. Although the ethical dilemmas described by this sample of CHNs are not notably different from those experienced by nurses in other settings, the way in which these nurses experience them is influenced by unique features of their role. These unique features result from the CHN's position in the health care system. The CHN is often a primary contact for clients, and therefore often assumes a role in initiating and coordinating referrals to social workers, physicians, and others. Furthermore the independent nature of community health nursing practice increases their needs for collaboration with others who are often removed from their setting of practice. Finally, because this group of nurses see clients in their natural community settings, they have an awareness of community health conditions which are determinants of health. Based on these findings, implications for community health nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing research are proposed.

Full text
Abstract:
This article provides an overview of financing for long-term services and supports (LTSS) in the United States, paying special attention to how it has changed and not changed over the last 30 years. Although LTSS expenditures have increased greatly (like the rest of health care), the broad outline of the financing system has remained remarkably constant. Medicaid—a means-tested program—continues to dominate LTSS financing, while private long-term care insurance plays a minor role. High out-of-pocket costs and spend-down to Medicaid because of those high costs continue to be hallmarks of the system. Although many major LTSS financing reform proposals were introduced over this period, none was enacted—except the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act, which was repealed before implementation because of concerns about adverse selection. The one major change during this time period has been the very large increase in Medicare spending for post-acute services, such as short-term skilled nursing facility and home health care. With the aging of the population, demand for LTSS is likely to increase, placing strain on the existing system.

Travis, Amanda, Margaret Harvey, and Michelle Rickard. Adverse Childhood Experiences and Urinary Incontinence in Elementary School Aged Children. University of Tennessee Health Science Center, October 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21007/con.dnp.2021.0012.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose/Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have an impact on health throughout the lifespan (Filletti et al., 1999; Hughes et al., 2017). These experiences range from physical and mental abuse, substance abuse in the home, parental separation or loss, financial instability, acute illness or injury, witnessing violence in the home or community, and incarceration of family members (Hughes et al., 2017). Understanding and screening for ACEs in children with urinary incontinence can help practitioners identify psychological stress as a potentially modifiable risk factor. Methods: A 5-month chart review was performed identifying English speaking patients ages 6-11 years presenting to the outpatient urology office for an initial visit with a primary diagnosis of urinary incontinence. Charts were reviewed for documentation of individual or family risk factors for ACEs exposure, community risk factors for ACEs exposures, and records where no related documentation was included. Results: For the thirty-nine patients identified, no community risk factors were noted in the charts. Seventy-nine percent of patients had one or more individual or family risk factors documented. Implications for Nursing Practice This chart review indicates that a significant percentage of pediatric, school-aged patients presenting with urinary incontinence have exposure to ACEs. A formal assessment for ACEs at the time of initial presentation would be helpful to identify those at highest risk.
