Abstract:
The objective of this quantitative, correlational and descriptive study was to analyze the time the nursing staff spends to assist patients in Adult Intensive Care Units, as well as to verify its correlation with quality care indicators. The average length of time spent on care and the quality care indicators were identified by consulting management instruments the nursing head of the Unit employs. The average hours of nursing care delivered to patients remained stable, but lower than official Brazilian agencies' indications. The correlation between time of nursing care and the incidence of accidental extubation indicator indicated that it decreases with increasing nursing care delivered by nurses. The results of this investigation showed the influence of nursing care time, provided by nurses, in the outcome of care delivery.

Abstract:
Nursing home quality indicators are often used to publicly report the quality of nursing home care. In Switzerland, six national nursing home quality indicators covering four clinical domains (polypharmacy, pain, use of physical restraints and weight loss) were recently developed. To allow for meaningful comparisons, these indicators must reliably show differences in quality of care levels between nursing homes. This study’s objectives were to assess nursing home quality indicators’ between-provider variability and reliability using intraclass correlations and rankability. This approach has not yet been used in long-term care contexts but presents methodological advantages. This cross-sectional multicenter study uses data of 11,412 residents from a convenience sample of 152 Swiss nursing homes. After calculating intraclass correlation 1 (ICC1) and rankability, we describe between-provider variability for each quality indicator using empirical Bayes estimate-based caterpillar plots. To assess reliability, we used intraclass correlation 2 (ICC2). Overall, ICC1 values were high, ranging from 0.068 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.047–0.086) for polypharmacy to 0.396 (95% CI 0.297–0.474) for physical restraints, with quality indicator caterpillar plots showing sufficient between-provider variability. However, testing for rankability produced mixed results, with low figures for two indicators (0.144 for polypharmacy; 0.471 for self-reported pain) and moderate to high figures for the four others (from 0.692 for observed pain to 0.976 for physical restraints). High ICC2 figures, ranging from 0.896 (95% CI 0.852–0.917) (self-reported pain) to 0.990 (95% CI 0.985–0.993) (physical restraints), indicated good reliability for all six quality indicators. Intraclass correlations and rankability can be used to assess nursing home quality indicators’ between-provider variability and reliability. The six selected quality indicators reliably distinguish care differences between nursing homes and can be recommended for use, although the variability of two—polypharmacy and self-reported pain—is substantially chance-driven, limiting their utility.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States, affecting nearly 30 million people per year (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [NCCDPHP], 2014). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) disproportionately affects Hispanics. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has established diabetes care guidelines that focus on improving diabetes care and patient outcomes. Quality improvement (QI) efforts have been developed and proven effective at targeting specific diabetes care indicators. Problem: Wesley Health Center (WHC) has identified deficiencies in select ADA diabetes quality care indicators of ophthalmologist referral, annual foot exam, smoking cessation counseling and pneumococcal vaccines for all patients with T2DM (ADA,2015). Design: A QI project applying the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle was implemented to improve the select diabetes quality care indicators of ophthalmologist referral, annual foot exam, smoking cessation counseling and pneumococcal vaccines for all patients with T2DM. Setting: WHC, a community health center located in Phoenix, Arizona, services mostly uninsured and underinsured Hispanic patients. Intervention: One PDSA cycle was carried out utilizing the fishbone diagram in an effort to identify root cause of the stated problem. The team of stakeholders identified modifications of the current electronic adult template as a key contributing factor. Workflow process changes that complemented the new modifications to the template were also made. The intervention was carried out for six (6) weeks with weekly stakeholder meetings. Expected Outcome: To improve select ADA diabetes quality care indicators for adult patients with T2DM within six (6) weeks of implementation by at least 10% from baseline. Results: Errors in data querying parameters limited data accuracy and interpretation thus the impact of the intervention was not able to be evaluated. Significance: QI interventions are important to nursing practice because they emphasize the importance of a doctorally prepared Advanced Practice Nurse (APRN) to be able to identify a problem in clinical practice and carry out a QI intervention in an effort to improve patient care and outcomes. A QI intervention provides the DNP prepared APRN an opportunity to synthesize into one project the skills and knowledge learned throughout their DNP program.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the quality of care for the elderly in nursing homes, responding to a critical social and demographic imperative. The aim of this study is to provide a service quality construct for nursing homes to increase client focus and satisfaction. The research is underpinned by the service quality literature. It utilises the SERVQUAL construct to explore the nature of service quality in nursing homes through semi-structured interviews with nursing home residents and resident's families. A service quality scale was constructed comprising six dimensions and 27 scale items capturing service delivery in nursing homes. This scale was purified through a survey of residents and family members (n=263). Through exploratory factor analysis, six importance and four experience factors were identified. Regression analysis was used to identify relationships between the factors, service quality and satisfaction. The results indicate that importance does not predict perceived quality, though experience of responsiveness and hospitality and courtesy and personal approach are indicators of service quality. Furthermore, quality emerges as a predictor of satisfaction. From these outcomes, a service quality construct was developed which comprises of service marketing and service quality dimensions. This thesis contributes to the construction of the concept of service quality in nursing homes, its dimensionality and thus the precursors of satisfaction. These have considerable implications for the management of nursing home services.homes, its dimensionality and thus the precursors of satisfaction. These have considerable implications for the management of nursing home services.

Abstract:This paper is part of the syllabus of the 1st Masters Course in Perioperative Nursing, by the “Escola Superior de Saúde” from “Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal”. This report intends to demonstrate skills acquired during the internship conducted in a perioperative context, through a critical review of the goals defined as well as, on activities carried out and how these contributed to the development of master skills in perioperative nursing. This paper also highlights the project developed during the internship period on the evaluation of nursing postoperative visits, which is an instrument for assessing nurse care provided in the perioperative period. The goals set for the completion of the internship were: understanding and applying techniques of perioperative nursing; developing skills related to perioperative nursing in a clinical practice and carry out a project of individual training. This project main goal was to evaluate the postoperative nurse visit. The methodology chosen for this paper is based on the descriptive and analytical method through reflection and display of different activities held. For the accomplishment of the individual training project, the project methodology was applied. It was collected and analyzed data from postoperative visits regarding the first semester of 2013. The analysis on activities and skills developed proved to be enriching, having contributed to a greater awareness of the perioperative nurse’s role. The individual formation project contributed to the development of skills for a continuous improvement of the healthcare quality. The assessment of nursing postoperative visits showed high patient satisfaction with perioperative care. On the other hand, it also showed fields that can benefit from some investment, in particular: improving efficiency in monitoring and recording pain, improving comfort regarding cold sensation and optimizing the registry tool used in gathering information.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The quality of care nurses provide to patients is done with the expectation that skills and knowledge of each registered nurse will result in quality patient care. Compliance statistics for quality indicators (level of service indicators) or (LSI’s) in the tertiary health care institution in Saudi Arabia varies, raising the following questions: “Do nurses understand the importance of quality indicators in clinical nursing and do they know how to use them to improve patient care?” No studies done on registered nurses’ knowledge and opinions of quality indicators could be found thus indicate the necessity of a research study to determinine the knowledge and opinions of registered nurses on quality indicators in clinical nursing in the tertiary healthcare system in Saudi Arabia. This is the focus of this research. The objectives of the study were: - To determine the current knowledge and opinions of the professional nurses regarding quality indicators in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia - To identify the factors that influence identification of quality indicators in clinical nursing - To identify the need for a training program regarding nurse sensitive quality indicators Data was collected through a questionnaire handed to more than 200 nurses working in general wards and intensive care areas in a single Saudi Arabian hospital. Participants were selected through a randomised list. The registered nurses who have participated in the pilot study’s responses were excluded from the final data analysis. No patients were included or involved in the study. A descriptive design with a quantitative approach was applied to investigate the professional nurses’ knowledge and opinions on quality indicators (level of service indicators) or (LSI’s) in clinical nursing in Saudi Arabia. Research data suggests that the knowledge and opinions of registered nurses in the tertiary health care institution in Saudi Arabia are not supporting the expectations of quality assurance in clinical nursing. Registered nurses have strong opinions of quality indicators in clinical nursing but do not have the knowledge to support those opinions. Improving initial and recurring training on quality indicators provided to nursing staff with diverse backgrounds and high turnover was recommended as an essential component in using quality indicators to drive improvements in patient care.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die kwaliteit verpleegsorg wat verpleegkundiges op ‘n daaglikse basis aan kliente bied gaan gepaard met die verwagting dat hulle oor die kennis en bevoegtheid moet beskik om kwaliteit verpleegsorg aan te wend wat ‘n langdurige positiewe uitkoms met verwysing na pasientsorg kan bied. Die kwaliteits aanwyser statistieke in die tersiere gesondheidsorg sisteem verskil maandeliks en het die navorser geinspireer om ‘n studie te doen om te bepaal of geregistreerde verpleegkundiges verstaan wat die belangrikheid van kwaliteits aanwysers is en of hulle die kennis het oor die gebruik daarvan, in watter opsigte dit gebruik kan word en wat die voordele inhou wanneer kennis en applikasie daarvan vir kliniese verpleging toegepas word. Literatuur met betrekking tot vorige studies omtrent kennis en opinies van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges tot kwaliteits aanwysers in kliniese verpleeging kon nie deur die navorser gevind word wat gebruik kon word as agtergrond of ondersteuning tot die studie nie. Die fokus van die navorsings studie was om geregistreerde verpleegkundiges se kennis en opinies te bepaal met betrekking tot kwaliteits aanwysers in kliniese verpleging in die tersiere gesondheidsorg sisteem in Saudi Arabie. Die doelwitte van die studie was om: - Die huidige kennis en opinies van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges met betrekking tot kwaliteits aanwysers in die tersiere gesondheidsorg sisteem in Saudi Arabie te bepaal - Om faktore wat ‘n invloed op identifikasie van kwaliteits aanwysers het te identifiseer - Om die nodigheid van ‘n opleidings program met betrekking tot kwaliteits aanwysers te bepaal Die data van die studie was ingesamel deur middel van ‘n vraelys wat aan die geregistreerde verpleegkundiges meesal werksaam is in algemene sale of intensiewe sorgeenhede. Deelnemers was gekies deur middel van ‘n alternatiewe lys. Die deelnemers aan die loots studie was ge-ellimineer van die finale data analise. Geen pasiente was betrokke by die studie nie. ‘n Beskrywende ontwerp met ‘n kwantitatiewe benadering was toegepas om geregistreerde verpleegkundiges se kennis en opinies omtrent kwaliteits aanwysers in kliniese verpleging in die tersiere gesondheidsorg sisteem in Saudi Arabie te toets. Die navorsing het bewys dat die kennis en opinies van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges in die tersiere gesondheidsorg sisteem in Saudi Arabie nie op ‘n aanvaarbare standard kan geklassifiseer word nie asook nie die nodige kwaliteits versekering in kliniese verpleging ondersteun nie. Die studie bewys dat geregistreerde verpleegkundiges beskik oor genoegsame opinies omtrent kwaliteitaanwysers maar nie noodwendig oor die kennis om hulle opinies daaroor te ondersteun nie. Die studie is ook uitkoms gebaseerd omtrent die nodigheid van ‘n opleidings program met betrekking tot kwaliteits versekering in kliniese verpleegkunde te implimenteer, insluitend die vakgebied van kwaliteits aanwysers in kliniese verpleeging.

Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic and debilitating disease contributing to the rise in healthcare associated costs in the United States (ADA, 2013a; USDHHS, 2013). T2DM management is complex and requires an ongoing multi-system approach (Goderis et al., 2010). In this quality improvement project, the DNP student led a team in a family care practice setting through a systematic quality improvement process, the PDSA cycle, for the improvement of performance rates of quality indicators including A1C testing, LDL testing, and performance of comprehensive foot examinations. The QI team developed a multi-component intervention to include utilization of an electronic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) decision support tool. The expected outcome was to increase current performance rates of A1C testing, LDL testing, and comprehensive foot examinations at a family care practice by at least 10% within four weeks of implementing the intervention. A1C testing improved from a pre-intervention median of 70.97% to a post-intervention median of 91.38%, an increase of 20.41%. LDL testing improved from a pre-intervention median of 74.19% to a post-intervention median of 91.38%, an increase of 17.19%. Comprehensive foot examinations improved from a pre-intervention median of 58.06% to a post-intervention median of 84.48%, an increase of 26.42%. While results demonstrate a trend of improvement, the duration of the intervention was insufficient for statistical significance. The QI project served as a first systematic change process for the family care practice and a model for future change processes at the clinic. This project highlights the DNP's role in utilizing evidence-based research and applying a systematic change model for quality improvement in the primacy care practice setting.

Abstract:
AbstractWe are now witnessing a major change in the world’s population. Many people globally grow very old: 80, 90, and 100 years. Increased age is followed by an increased incidence of functional and chronic comorbidities and diverse disabilities, which for many leads to the need for long-term care in a nursing home. Quality of life and health promotive initiatives for older persons living in nursing homes will become ever more important in the years to come. Therefore, this chapter focuses on health promotion among older adults living in nursing homes. First, this chapter clarifies the concepts of health, salutogenesis, and pathogenesis, followed by knowledge about health promotion. Then insight and knowledge about the nursing home population is provided; what promotes health and well-being in nursing home residents?Health promotion in the health services should be based on integrated knowledge of salutogenesis and pathogenesis. The salutogenic understanding of health is holistic and considers man as a wholeness including physical, mental, social, and spiritual/existential dimensions. Research indicates that various health-promoting interventions, specifically the nurse–patient interaction, influence on older adults in nursing homes as a wholeness of body–soul–spirit, affecting the whole being. Hence, dimensions such as pain, fatigue, dyspnea, nausea, loneliness, anxiety, and depressive symptoms will be influenced through health-promoting approaches. Therefore, two separate studies on the health-promoting influences of nurse–patient interaction in nursing home residents were conducted. In total, nine hypotheses of directional influence of the nurse–patient interaction were tested, all of which finding support.Along with competence in pain and symptom management, health-promoting nurse–patient interaction based on awareness and attentional skills is essential in nursing home care. Thus, health care workers should be given the opportunity to further develop their knowledge and relational skills, in order to “refine” their way of being present together with residents in nursing homes. Health professionals’ competence involves the “being in the doing”; that is, both the doing and the way of being are essential in health and nursing care.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization provides a framework that identifies the core elements of high-quality care which should be safe, effective, timely, equitable, efficient, and people centred. Nurses need to understand the fundamentals of high-quality professional practices and the metrics used to evaluate key performance indicators. Nurses have a central role to play in advocating for and delivering high-quality care across the continuum as the largest healthcare workforce worldwide. The use of patient-reported outcome measures and patient-reported experience measures helps to bring the patient voice into high-quality care. Quality management includes planning, control, and improvement. Measurement and audit are important tools to drive up the quality of care. It is imperative that nurses develop cultural competence. Understanding the barriers to high-quality care can help to develop effective interdisciplinary solutions to ensure that patient well-being is preserved.

Abstract:
Nursing home administrators, physicians, hospitals, drug companies, and Medicare are among the major influences on the patient’s experience of skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. Administrators are concerned with selecting patients with high levels of Medicare reimbursement; physicians tend to regard SNF care as low status and unrewarding; hospitals use the SNF as a safety valve allowing for early discharge; drug companies work with regional medical distributors to influence physician prescribing; and Medicare tries to promote quality by using an elaborate system of quality indicators, mandating state inspections or surveys, and reimbursing care so as to encourage maximal use of physical therapy.

Abstract:
Diseases have no borders, and global health operates from both within and beyond. Global health informatics can adopt an assets-oriented approach to mitigate concerns by maximizing global health data, principles, and resources combined with geographic information systems’ use case mapping. This exploratory study utilizes an assets-oriented approach to analyze four global social determinants of health indicators, including Skilled Birth Attendance, Measles Immunization Coverage, Education (Female), and the Healthcare Access and Quality Index in relation to countries’ income and geographical region. Data were extracted and analyzed from two publicly available datasets. Positive trends and variations were detected among all variables aggregated by countries’ income category and geographical region. These findings pinpoint potential health assets that the discipline of nursing can leverage to build healthier global health communities.

Abstract:
Half of nurses’ overtime hours are due to records. Nursing records, which are mainly narrative records, cost a large amount of money. However, it has been pointed out that there are problems with their quality and post-use. In this study, we analyzed the value of nursing records for physicians. As a result, we found that the use of standard observation terms in nursing records can create an environment in which patients’ conditions can be shared. To create this environment, the physicians of the clinical path committee classified hospitalized patients in terms of disease, treatment, and examination, and created a list of 778 process paths. Physicians, nurses, and researchers collaborated to develop digital contents with high-priority observation items and care actions adapted to patient conditions for each path. We developed a clinical support system equipped with these digital contents. In May 2019, we installed the system in a 900-bed university hospital. Then, in October 2020, we installed the system in a 400-bed general hospital. We used “nurses’ overtime hours for recording” and “reduction rate” as indicators of the usefulness of this system. In the 900-bed university hospital, we compared the previous year’s results for March, the end of the fiscal year. This overtime hours were 2,944 hours 00 minutes in March 2019 and 2,141 hours 55 minutes in March 2020. 27% reduction was indicated. The respective bed occupancy rates were 90.80 percent and 90.60 percent, with no difference. In the 400-bed general hospital, This overtime hours were compared to the previous year, covering November and December after one month of implementation. 386 hours in November 2019 and 204.5 hours in November 2020. 47% reduction indicated. 366 hours in December 2019 and 214.5 hours in December 2020. A reduction of 41% was shown. These results suggest that the implementation of this system can both improve the quality of team care and reduce overtime.

Abstract:
Sleep, either too much or not enough, has been shown to increase mortality and morbidity when associated with chronic health conditions. The importance of sleep assessment and management in acute and chronic health conditions has been highly underrepresented and ignored as a health indicator. This chapter describes an integrative approach to sleep assessment, including commonly used measures and biomarkers. Evidence supports the use of integrative approaches to facilitate restful, high-quality sleep that can not only improve health outcomes but can also improve quality of life in persons across the lifespan.

Abstract:
As a result of the Bologna Process, European countries have been operating common basic requirements for nursing education (NE) programmes for several years. In 2021, reforms have also taken place in Latvia to ensure the effective development of professionals within higher education, who would become autonomous medical staff with a bachelor (Bch) education. Despite the different approaches of each European Union (EU) Member State to implementation of NE programmes, the unifying element is a scope of clinical training, which under EU legislation is at least half of the total scope of study programme. According to the research, these essential requirements have had a positive impact on the development of NE across Europe. Latvian higher education institutions (HEIs) have taken over the positive experience of Europe and have aligned the scope of clinical training with the requirements of regulatory enactments. A HEI has the right to organise clinical training at its discretion, thereby creating an unequal scope of this training in certain parts of the study programme. Some HEIs implement this process as internships, while others integrate it into study courses, supplementing the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired in simulation rooms with the acquisition of competencies in the clinical environment (CE). However, despite the organizational differences, the unifying element of these programmes remains the total scope of studies in the CE. The NE programmes in Europe also differ in the use of the term for clinical training. Notwithstanding the designation of this peculiar study form, it is always implemented in a CE. The presented research aims to look at the essence of clinical studies and the usability of the corresponding terms in a framework of study process in a CE, as well as to analyse the differences in the scope of this study form in Bch programmes in nursing in Latvia and Europe. The document analysis method, examining 17 research papers for their compliance with international regulatory enactments, shows that clinical training, nothwithstanding different terminology, is a key component of NE in a high-quality CE. The comparison of Bch’s level nursing studies (NS) at Vilnius University (Lithuania), Riga Stradiņš University (Latvia), Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences (Germany), University of Barcelona (Spain), and Daugavpils University (Latvia) indicates that they generally comply with internationally recognized requirements for the acquisition of the nursing profession.
