Abstract:
For 35 years, the researcher has observed nurses in practice: when caring for complete strangers and performing acts of caring in the most intimate way. Compassion, duty to act, caring, tenderness, and love are qualities associated with the loving care that nurses provide. The word, love, is seldomly used in nursing schools and in nursing practice. However, the love exhibited daily by nurses for patients may not be adequately described as love. This study describes love, its attributes, and its connection to nursing as compared to when nursing was a trained profession, based on the duty to care.

Abstract:
Introduction: Professional nursing is based on caring. Care is a combination of love and respect in interacting with others. There are many concerns about nursing care without love. However, the concept and meaning of love in nursing have not been paid the due attention. This study analyzed the concept of love in nursing. The aim of this study is to describe and discuss the concept of love in nursing. Methods: A concept analysis was conducted using the 8-step Walker and Avant’s model. Databases such as SID, PubMed, Web of Science, CINHAL, SCOPUS and Google Scholar were searched. The terms “love”,”concept analysis” and “nursing” were used for searching in international sources. No time limit was considered in searching the databases and all studies were published until December 2017. In the initial search, 142 articles were found but finally eight articles remained relevant and entered the study. Results: The authors did not find a special independent tool to measure love in nursing. Therefore, we define love in nursing as follows: the combination of nursing care with a sense of responsibility, benevolence, attention and concern, respect, and understanding of others as a human being, regardless of their negative consequences for themselves. Conclusion: Understanding the meaning of love in nursing can promote nursing practice in two ways. First, the nurses are examining their values and beliefs. Second, they find out how to interact with patients.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: The significance of ethical and serving nursing leadership is the greatest contributing factors to attain good and quality assured care for patients. Prioritizing an ethical attitude and value base within the different levels of healthcare organizations opens up for well-being among patients, nurses, and nurse leaders. Polarization and many restructurings have changed the value base of healthcare organizations and the nursing culture so that serving and ethical values have been deprioritised rather than reinforced. Objective: To deepen the understanding of serving and ethical nursing leadership and to examine how nurse leaders through their ethos can pave the way toward the evident – the good, the truthful and the beautiful serving in the context of nursing administrations.Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive and hermeneutic approach with inductive elements. The material consists of deep interviews with six nurse leaders. The hermeneutic reading act and interpretation of the interview texts are inspired by Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical thought.Result: Ethical leadership that serves the guest of honour of the healthcare organization, the patient, and the caring culture are made visible in the context of nursing administration through “The good, the truthful and the beautiful” timeless movement directed toward health, healing and the meaning of life. Ethos gives to nursing leadership a value base and fundamental attitude, and is linked to the responsibility of nursing administrations, dignity and holiness.Implications for nursing management: Ethical and serving nurse leaders are attractive and legitimate role models for today’s nursing administrations. Nurse leaders’ direct influence, ethos and serving are factors that are closely connected with the ethical climate of the healthcare organization.

Abstract:
Background: Ethical issues associated with nurses’ interactions with industry have implications for the safety, quality, and cost of healthcare. To date, little work has explored nurse–industry interactions and their associated ethical issues empirically. Design and participants: A phenomenological study was conducted to explore registered nurses’ interactions with industry in clinical practice. Five registered nurses working in direct patient care were recruited and individual, in-depth interviews were conducted. The University’s Committee on Human Research approved the study. Findings: Nurses frequently interacted with industry in their practice and felt ambivalent about these interactions. Nurses described systemic cuts to multiple “goods” central to nursing practice, including patient support, but paradoxically relied on industry resources to deliver these “goods.” They relied on a particular conception of trust to navigate these interactions but were left to do so individually on the basis of their experience. Conflicts of interest arose as a result of multiple competing interests, and were frequently mediated through nurses’ superiors. Conclusion: Nursing as a profession requires a guiding narrative to aid nurses in interpreting and navigating interactions with industry. A conception of trust that incorporates both the work of caring and attention to social justice could form the basis of these interactions, but would require that nursing take a much more critical stance toward marketing interactions.

Full text
Abstract:
This study used a qualitative research design incorporating principles of social constructionism, hermeneutic dialectic method, Neo-Socratic dialogue and philosophy for reporting the tacit and social knowledge constructions underlying particular ways of knowing that inform the experiential reality of love in the practice of nursing and midwifery. The philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, that culminated in his magnum opus of the ‘metaphysics of otherness’, provided the theoretical underpinning for the interpretation of the experiences nurses and midwives believed were examples of love in their clinical practice in Australia, Singapore and Bhutan. What is love in nursing and midwifery? The answer is moral responsibility. The relational context has a nurse and midwife constantly exposed to patient situations that give rise to expressions of love as moral responsibility. It is a form of love that centres on the ability of our being, or at least the possibility of our being, to transcend its everyday form to a metaphysical state of being moral. It enables a nurse and midwife to transcend the isolation associated with their personal being as a self-project, to be ‘for’ the patient as a first priority. But while the ‘Goodness’ of the ‘Good’ assigns the nurse and midwife responsible and is expressed to their personal being in the form of the ‘urge to do’, ‘what to do’ in caring for the patient is a matter of living out the command to be responsible and will be different for each nurse and midwife. However, no matter the outcome, love as moral responsibility will always leave a nurse and midwife feeling there is still more to be done in being responsible.

Abstract:
Background: Obesity is a significant healthcare problem in modern American society. It has led to decreased longevity of employees and decreased productivity in day-to-day duties of healthcare workers. There are more negative attributes to obesity than positive, regardless of the race affected. One of the leading causes of death in 2012 was cardiovascular disease. Due to poor dietary choices, the promotion of sedentary lifestyle has led to complications of obesity such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Major improvements can be made within a community that acknowledges the risks of obesity and seeks to implement preventive programs. Increasing one’s physical activity and implementing healthier dietary choices leads to a reduction in cardiovascular diseases. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to develop an evidence-based obesity prevention program for the healthcare facility staff to increase physical activity within the workplace. Theoretical Framework: Health Belief Model Theory. Methods: The investigator used a quasi-experimental approach using a pretest/posttest design. Results: The results of the data analysis revealed positive perception changes in acceptance to the implementation of physical activity in the workplace. Within two weeks of the project completion, the investigator noted a 69.23 percent increase in the implementation of physical activity in the work and home setting, and an 84.62% change in the manner individuals made food choices, with a median percentage rate of 96.2 for awareness of obesity, overweight health status, and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Conclusion: The evidence-based worksite obesity prevention initiative provides support and acceptance for the implementation of physical activity in the work setting.

Full text
Abstract:
Smärta är en subjektiv upplevelse som måste bedömas utifrån den enskilda individen men trots det bedöms smärta inte alltid individuellt. Det finns olika omotiverade skillnader mellan den vård som män och kvinnor erhåller. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur genus- och könstillhörighet påverkar upplevelsen av smärta och dess konsekvenser. En litteraturöversikt har genomförts för att besvara detta. I resultatet har två huvudkategorier identifierats; upplevelsen av att göra och upplevelsen av att vara. Upplevelsen av att göra visar att män och kvinnor har olika saker som de förväntas utföra trots smärta. Männen förväntas kunna arbeta trots svår smärta och kvinnor förväntas kunna utföra hushållsarbete. Upplevelsen att vara visar att både män och kvinnor har svårt att leva upp till den maskulina respektive feminina normen i samband med smärta. Män upplever att de förväntas kunna vara starka och ha kontroll över sina känslouttryck. Kvinnor upplever en rädsla över att vara till besvär och har svårt att prioritera sin egen hälsosituation. Både män och kvinnor har en negativ syn på smärtlindrande läkemedel, där män tenderar att vara mer rädda för att utveckla ett beroende och kvinnor är mer rädda för biverkningar. Kvinnor skattar oftare sin smärta som måttlig eller svår jämfört med män och upplever avfärdande av sin smärta i högre grad än vad män gör. Grunden till alla dessa skillnader kan till stor del vara socialt konstruerade. Resultatet kan användas till att förbättra mötet med den enskilda patienten, där manliga patienter kan behöva mer stöd i form av bekräftelse av känslouttryck och kvinnor kan behöva bekräftelse i form av acceptans i att prioritera sig själv.

Derksen, Amber. "The Efficacy of Physical Activity after the Death of a Loved One| Walking and Grief an Intervention Study." Thesis, Hampton University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10256214.

Full text
Abstract:

The death of a loved one is associated with feelings of grief, which is a multifaceted emotional response for individuals’ who are attempting to cope with a loss. The grieving process can have an unpredictable trajectory for each person, even though it may encompass many common and familiar features. Grief after a loss incorporates an expansive range of emotional and physical responses, which frequently consists of feelings of sadness, depression, and loneliness. Few studies have reviewed effective interventions for combating the emotional and physical symptoms of grief after the loss of a loved one. Walking is an affordable bereavement care intervention that may prove beneficial in improving grief responses and the related physical and psychological symptoms. A physical activity, such as walking, is a type of activity that is easily performed that may ultimately reduce the effects of stress, decrease depression, and improve mood in persons who have experienced the death of a loved one. The conceptual framework that guided this study was the Roy Adaptation Model.

The purpose of this study was to decrease the severity of grief related symptoms associated after the death of a loved one using an acute three-week walking regimen and comparing baseline responses to walking completion responses on the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG). A convenience sample of 62 persons in southeastern Georgia who had experienced the loss of a loved one participated in the three-week walking regimen. The results showed no statistical improvement in grief scores after a three-week walking program.

Abstract:
The study is an oral history of the work of district nurses in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland from 1940-1974. The main themes that emerged from the study were, the wide scope of the nurses' practice, their significant relationships, and the unique nature of their role. Within the themes were concepts of self sacrifice, resilience and autonomy. The challenges the nurses faced in their daily lives from their surrounding environment and the urgent needs of patients were physically and mentally taxing. There was evidence of their resilience and strength of character when they did not flinch in difficult situations. Yet they described being 'happy at work' and relied on their faith. The study suggests that the service these women provided could be regarded as 'heroic'. The thesis offers an insight into the daily lives of district nurses in a remote part of Scotland which has never been studied before. Most nurses were trained Queen's Nurses which was evidently influential and to some a prestigious qualification.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Depression drabbar 25 procent av kvinnorna i Sverige. Det kan behandlas på olika vis. Elektrokonvulsiv terapi är en behandlingsform som används när symtomen är svåra. Sjuksköterskans roll är att se patientens behov och utifrån dem ge god omvårdnad där patienten kan känna sig förstådd.  Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur kvinnor med depressiva symtom upplevt behandling med elektrokonvulsiv terapi. Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie baserad på sex bloggar gjordes. Materialet har analyserats med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som utmynnade i tre kategorier och nio underkategorier. Resultat: Elektrokonvulsiv terapi beskrivs som en väg ut ur depressionen, det fanns ett hopp om att behandlingen skulle hjälpa. Olika farhågor infann sig inför behandlingen, liksom olika reaktioner efteråt där minnespåverkan var framträdande. Effekten av ECT kunde både ses vara positiv och utebliven. Resultatet bildade kategorierna ’Vilja må bättre’, ’Slitas mellan upplevelse av befrielse och obehag’ och ’Att påverkas av behandlingen’. Slutsats: Studien visar att behandlingen framkallar olika sorters känslor och upplevelser. Ett förbättrat omhändertagande kan utföras och lidande minskas när sjuksköterskor tar del av patientens upplevelser.

Abstract:
Aging may bring mental and/or physical decline. There may come a point when a loved one needs long-term care in a nursing home. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the community dwelling spouses' emotional state. A study was conducted with 10 individuals (5 men and 5 women) who had a spouse in long-term nursing care. Inclusion criteria was to be at least 65-years old, have been married at least 30 years, and reside alone in his or her own home. The social emotional selectivity theory and the construct of boundary ambiguity were applied to view the epoch. Data were collected with audio recorded interviews and coded as to major idea in each response. Five themes evolved from the responses: reduction of friends, ease or difficulty with change, companionship, vows are forever, and why. The community-dwelling spouse tended to be sad, anxious, and angry. Loss of companionship, increased isolation due to reduction of friends prior to placement, concern about the well-being of his or her spouse, and feelings of 'why did this happen to me?' were common themes by the community dwelling spouse. Wives who did all household chores prior to their husband's institutionalization were more able to accept the placement of their spouse than were husbands who had depended on their wives. There is a need for treatment for the community-dwelling spouse by nursing home staff, friends, and family. Nursing homes can encourage support through community-dwelling support groups and mealtime with their institutionalized spouses. Children of community-dwelling spouse can provide support through contacting their parents frequently, clergy, and friends of the church through visiting the community-dwelling spouse after placement of their spouse.

Abstract:

Nursing care of persons having dementia diseases affecting the frontal lobes, sets special demands on the staff, but the knowledge about how to best tailor nursing care is sparse. The aim of the study was to illuminate possibilities and difficulties in nursing care of persons having dementia diseases with frontal lobe dysfunction and was carried out as a descriptive, qualitative study, based on a review of medical records and interviews with nursing staff (n=10) that was analysed with qualitative content analysis. The difficulties were related to the patients lack of inhibition and judgement, anxiety, agitation, reduced ability to care for physical needs, egocentrism, imbalance between rest and activity, and depressed mood. The possibilities were seen in relation to the nursing staffs professional encounter, characterised by being distinct and consequent, being a step ahead, being flexible and catch the moment, being calm and create a positive atmosphere, being close and trusting and being and doing together. To receive continuous feedback and support was a prerequisite for the staffs’ engagement. The result showed that the nurse patient encounter is of importance to gain a high quality nursing care where each patient, despite illness, is seen as a unique and valuable person.

Abstract:
Background: The trajectory of recovery after sepsis varies. Survivors may have considerable ongoing limitations, requiring a caregiver for a prolonged period. Objectives: To learn about experiences, quality of life, coping, resilience, and social support of caregiver caring for survivors of sepsis. Methods: We conducted a convergent mixed-methods study, recruiting informal caregivers of patients who had survived sepsis in the past year and were readmitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis. Individual face-to-face, semistructured interviews and validated surveys on quality of life, coping, caregiver burden, resilience, and social support were administered to caregivers. Interview transcripts were analyzed using content analysis. Surveys were scored and summarized using descriptive statistics. Results: Caregivers were primarily middle-aged, White, and female. Half were spouses of their care recipient. Caregivers reported some deficits in mobility, pain, and anxiety/depression. Coping styles varied, with engaged coping being more prevalent. Most caregivers reported mild to moderate burden, all reported either normal or high resilience levels, and types of social support were similar. However, interviews and survey findings were not always consistent. Major themes that emerged from the analysis included (1) advocating for and protecting their loved one, (2) coping with caregiving, (3) uncertain future, (4) rewards of caregiving, and (5) need to optimize communication with family. Discussion: Caregivers of sepsis survivors are protective of their care recipient and use a variety of strategies to advocate for their loved one and to cope with the uncertainty involved in a new intensive care unit admission. More advocacy and support are needed for this population.

Abstract:
AbstractNursing homes aim to provide person-centered care and recognize residents as unique individuals with their own histories, life goals, and preferences. The life expectancy of nursing home residents is rather limited. Nursing homes have been hit hard by COVID-19 because of an increased risk of death and a total nursing home lockdown from March 19 until the end of May 2020. Although social relationships are a basic human need and the fulfillment of social needs is essential for both physical and mental health, nursing home residents were no longer allowed to meet their loved ones. This decision was taken without involving residents and their loved ones and without considering the psychosocial impact of such measures for residents and their loved ones. When visitors were again allowed in the nursing homes, this was valued highly. To enable decent decision-making, we call both the government and nursing homes to involve residents and their families in decision-making. It is essential to know how residents weigh the risk of a COVID-19 infection and the possible implication of them opposing social isolation. We have to adapt to a new common and need to stop talking about residents and their loved ones and start talking with them.

Abstract:
The nurse and the healer are one and the same in the integrated, holistic nurse. Yet many of us have forgotten our heritage as healers as we have become immersed in the sick-cure paradigm that continues to dominate healthcare. This chapter explores the opportunity for integrative nurses to reclaim their roots as healers in the lineage of Nightingale, becoming instruments of healing in service to life. The way of the healer is explored as a potential spiritual path for nurses who wish to follow Nightingale in awakening the diving spirit of love within.

This chapter focuses on human caring and peace within the context of integrative nursing principles embedded in a framework of caring science and caritas (a Latin word conveying universal caring and love). Nurses’ practice of human caring is an emergent quality of whole systems, making new connections between the unitary energetic patterns of worldwide human caring practices and peace in our world. This relationship between human caring and peace represents a fundamental path of consciously attending to the pattern of unity and the human-environmental global-universal field of oneness

Abstract:
Integrative nursing invites nurses to reclaim their roots as healers in the lineage of Florence Nightingale, recovering the self-as-healer and acknowledging that their healing work is sacred. Healing, the emergence of right relationship at one or more levels of the human experience, is an emergent property and process of the whole person, bodymindspirit. It is facilitated by integrative nurses who put the patient in the best condition to elicit and support the innate healing response, or Haelan Effect. The way of the healer is a path that puts one in service to life, self, others, and creation as an instrument for healing. The way of the healer offers a spiritual practice for integrative nurses who choose to follow Nightingale’s injunction to “strive to awaken the divine spirit of love in yourself, to awaken it in doing your present work, however you may have erred in the past.”

Abstract:
Healthcare practitioners should assume a leading role in the assessment and remediation of potential or identified alterations in sexual functioning. Not all couples will be concerned about their sexual health at this point of their life together. However, people may find that being physically close to the one they love is life-affirming and comforting. Assessment of sexual health should occur for all patients to determine whether these needs and hopes include maintenance of their sexual health. The healthcare practitioner’s offer of information and support can make a significant difference in a couple’s ability to adjust to the changes in sexual health during end-of-life care.

Abstract:
Spirituality is one of the primary unifying forces of the human experience. It inextricably links us as human beings of the global village across cultures, continents, faith traditions, genders, socioeconomic differences, and the continuum of wellness–illness. Spiritual care addresses the suffering inherent to the human experience and seeks to mitigate the deeply painful consequences of loss (of autonomy, relationships, health, etc.), hopelessness and/or isolation, recognizing one’s mortality, or feeling unseen, unheard, unacknowledged, or voiceless. Effective spiritual care intervention requires a level of awareness and attention beyond the clinical data and rote nature of traditional nursing tasks. Through compassion in action and the intelligent use of a broad spectrum of modalities and communication methods, the nurse can create a healing environment that alleviates spiritual distress and promotes spiritual well-being. Love is the ultimate spiritual care intervention—the moral/ethical foundation of nursing: the holy work of touching bodies and spirits and souls.
