Abstract:
ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate whether use of a discharge criteria tool for nursing assessment of patients in Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) would enhance nurses’ recognition and response to patients at-risk of deterioration and improve patient outcomes.MethodsA prospective non-randomised pre–post intervention study was conducted in three hospitals in Australia. Participants were adults undergoing elective surgery before (n=723) and after (n=694) implementation of the Post-Anaesthetic Care Tool (PACT).ResultsNursing response to patients at-risk of deterioration was higher using PACT, with more medical consultations initiated by PACU nurses (19% vs 30%, P<0.001) and more patients with Medical Emergency Team activation criteria modified by an anaesthetist while in PACU (6.5% vs 13.8%, P<0.001). There were higher rates of analgesia administration (37.3% vs 54.2%, P=0.001), nursing assessment of pain and documentation of ongoing analgesia prior to discharge (55% vs 85%, P<0.001). More adverse events were recorded in PACU after introduction of the PACT (8.3% vs 16.7%, P<0.001). The rate of adverse events after discharge from PACU remained constant (16.5%), but the rate of cardiac events (5.1% vs 2.6%, P=0.021) and clinical deterioration (8.7% vs 4.3%, P=0.001) following PACU discharge significantly decreased, using the PACT. Despite the increased number of patients with adverse events in phase 2, healthcare costs did not increase significantly. Length of stay in PACU and length of hospital admission for those patients who had an adverse event in PACU were significantly reduced after implementation of the PACT.ConclusionThis study found that using a structured discharge criteria tool, the PACT, enhanced nurses’ recognition and response to patients who experienced clinical deterioration, reduced length of stay for patients who experienced an adverse event in PACU and was cost-effective.

Abstract:
Background The authors recently proposed a recovery scoring system for outpatients receiving regional anesthesia (RA) or general anesthesia (GA). This scoring system was designed to allow qualifying patients to be directly routed to the phase II (step-down) recovery unit instead of the traditional postanesthesia care unit (PACU). We report PACU bypass rates using these criteria, and the extent to which PACU bypass was associated with (1) required nursing interventions in the step-down recovery unit, and (2) successful same-day discharge. Methods Day-of-surgery outcomes were studied for 894 outpatients undergoing outpatient sports medicine surgery on the lower extremity. We determined PACU-bypass rates, nursing interventions in the step-down recovery unit for common symptoms, and unplanned hospital admissions. Using logistic regression, we analyzed step-down nursing interventions based on PACU requirement versus PACU bypass, and anesthesia techniques used (GA vs. not, peripheral nerve blocks vs. not). Results Eighty-seven percent (778/894) of all patients bypassed PACU. Of PACU-bypass patients, 241/778 (31%) required step-down nursing interventions. Of patients requiring PACU, only 19/116 (16%) required additional interventions in step-down (P &lt; 0.001). PACU-bypass patients were almost three times more likely (odds ratio 2.9,P &lt; 0.001) to require at least one nursing intervention in the step-down unit, when compared with patients requiring PACU. Fewer unplanned admissions were required by patients who bypassed PACU (odds ratio = 0.3,P = 0.007). Conclusions For outpatient lower extremity surgery, applying our PACU-bypass criteria led to an 87% PACU bypass rate with no reportable adverse events.

Abstract:
Background The authors used a nursing task inventory system to assess nursing resources for patients with and without adverse postoperative events in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). Methods Over 3 months, 2,031 patients were observed, and each task/activity related to direct patient care was recorded and assigned points according to the Project Research in Nursing (PRN) workload system. PRN values for each patient were merged with data from an anesthesia database containing demographics, anesthesia technique, and postoperative adverse events. Mean and median PRN points were determined by age, sex, duration of procedure, and mode of anesthesia for patients with and without adverse events in the PACU. Three theoretical models were developed to determine the effect of differing rates of adverse events on the requirements for nurses in the PACU. Results The median workload (PRN points) per patient was 31.0 (25th-75th percentile, 25-46). Median workload was 26 points for patients with no postoperative events and 155 for &gt; or = six adverse events. Workload varied by type of postoperative event (e.g., unanticipated admission to the intensive care unit, median workload = 95; critical respiratory event = 54; and nausea/vomiting = 33). Monitored anesthesia care or general anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation used less resources compared with general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. Modeling various scenarios (controlling for types of patients) showed that adverse events increased the number of nursing personnel required in the PACU. Conclusions Nursing care documentation based on requirements for individual patients demonstrates that the rate of postoperative adverse events affects the amount of nursing resources needed in the PACU.

Abstract:
Purpose: This is an analysis of the experiences of nurses in Post Anesthesia Care Units (PACUs) in caring for older patients with emergence delirium using the Q-methodology. Methods: The Q-methodology, which is used to explore and understand human subjectivity, was applied. Thirty nurses who had experiences in providing nursing for delirium in older patients after surgery in a PACU participated in this study. Results: This study revealed three factors regarding the frame of reference of PACU nurses in detecting and managing older patients' emergence delirium: “detect the deviant changes leading to instability”, “focus on the patient’s degree of cognitive recovery within the framework of recovery time”, and “awareness of possible clues based on the patient’s underlying disease(s)”. Conclusion: These findings are expected to be utilized as a basis for more practical and accessible PACU nurse delirium education that reflects nurses’ subjective viewpoints explained by the three identified factors.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Barnmorskor och sjuksköterskor världen över möter och vårdar kvinnor som av olika skäl genomför en inducerad abort. Det kan vara en utmaning som kräver både kunskap och stöd för dem som arbetar inom abortvården. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa barnmorskors och sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda kvinnor i samband med inducerad abort. Ordet erfarenheter innefattar upplevelser och åsikter baserat på erfarenheter. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ metasyntes med metaetnografi som analysmetod. Tjugosju (27) artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. Resultat: Tre huvudkategorier och tio mönster belyser barnmorskors och sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda kvinnor i samband med inducerad abort. Dessa var att göra ett bra arbete genom att vara ett stöd, att åsidosätta egna värderingar och att skapa goda upplevelser för kvinnan. Barriärer för kvalitativ abortvård i form av negativa attityder från omgivningen, brister i verksamheten, bristande preventivmedelsanvändning, egna känslor och ta emot fostret. Behov hos vårdgivarna i form av stöd och kunskap. Slutsats: Den abortsökande kvinnan är i behov av stöd och icke dömande attityder från vårdgivare. Barnmorskor och sjuksköterskor behöver ha kunskap och få stöd i arbetet med abortvård. Brist på stöd och kunskap hos barnmorskor och sjuksköterskor kan påverka attityder om kvinnors rätt till inducerad abort inom kollegiet på en arbetsplats, vilket i sin tur kan ha en inverkan på den abortsökande kvinnans omvårdnad.
Background : Midwives and nurses all over the world meet with and care for women who, for various reasons, are undergoing induced abortion. It may be a challenge that requires both knowledge and support for those working in abortion care.Objective: To describe midwives and nurses’ experiences of caring for women who undergo induced abortion. The word experience includes perceptions based on experiences. Method: The study was conducted as a qualitative metasynthesis using meta-ethnography as analysis of data. Twenty-seven (27) peer-reviewed scientific articles were included in the result. Result: Three main categories and ten different patterns highlighted the midwives and nurses' experiences of caring for women undergoing an induced abortion. These were doing a good job by being supportive, putting own values aside and with the goal to create good experiences for the woman. Barriers to qualitative abortion care included negative attitudes from the surroundings, own feelings, receiving the fetus and various issues at the abortion care clinics. The third category was the caregivers’ needs which included support and knowledge. Conclusion: The abortion-seeking woman is in need of support and non-judgmental attitudes from caregivers. Midwives and nurses need knowledge and support in the work of abortion care. Lack of support and knowledge can affect midwives and nurses’ attitudes towards induced abortion as a woman’s right, which in turn can affect the women in need of abortion care.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The post-anaesthetic care unit (PACU) is the first place that patients are taken following their operation and it is here that the initial recovery from their anaesthetic and surgery happens. Accordingly a significant proportion of the PACU nurse’s time is involved with the assessment and management of pain in the postoperative patient. Despite the implementation of standardised tools such as pain rating scales and medication protocols, the assessment and management of postoperative pain varies markedly from one patient to another in the PACU. Taking this into consideration, the researcher sought to understand how PACU nurses interpret pain assessment and management of the postoperative patient. AIM: To understand the processes PACU nurses utilise when assessing pain and implementing subsequent pain management in patients following surgery. METHODOLOGY: The qualitative approach of focused ethnography was used to frame this study. Focused ethnography was considered to best portray the perspectives of PACU nurses, as a culture, regarding the assessment and management of postoperative pain. METHODS: Ten PACU nurses were recruited from the PACU of a government hospital. The experience of the participants ranged from 3 years to more than 20 years in PACU nursing. James Spradley’s ethnographic research cycle was used to frame the research process. The research design employed two methods of data collection: participant observation and individual interviews. Collected data was transcribed and thematic analysis conducted. FINDINGS: Five themes emerged reflecting the perspectives of PACU nurses on the assessment and management of postoperative pain. These themes are: With Surgery Comes Pain; The Picture Beyond The Wound; Knowing; The Individual Experience; and Bridging Surgical Care. There are many complexities involved in assessing and managing postoperative pain in the PACU. Underpinning the five themes, communication was seen to be an integral aspect of assessing and managing postoperative pain from the PACU nurse’s perspective. CONCLUSION: This study represents a population of nurses who identify strongly with working in a unique clinical environment. The findings give insight to the multi-dimensional process that PACU nurses employ to be able to provide proficient care of postoperative pain to their patients; and, this study illustrates that the PACU fosters a distinct sense of culture amongst its nurses when considering the assessment and management of pain in the postoperative patient. The significance of this research is that there is no set method of pain assessment and management the PACU that could be taught from a textbook. Postoperative pain assessment and management is a highly individualised process that continuously changes with variables that are introduced by both the PACU nurse and the patient. Further research is required to develop knowledge about this particular environment.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was (a) to determine the effect of a four-step learner readiness profile: positive, active, clear, and energetic (PACE) on self-reported anxiety in first year nursing students before skill performance tests, and (b) to determine the effect of PACE on the performance of first year nursing students on skill tests. The subjects consisted of 27 first year nursing students enrolled at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Oregon. Two multiple baseline designs across subjects were employed. Volunteers were randomly divided into three subject groups. Baseline data were collected on 5 skill tests for Group 1, 8 skill tests for Group 2, and 11 skill tests for Group 3. The treatment variable, PACE, was implemented once the baseline was established for self-reported anxiety and performance. Findings indicated that PACE was an effective treatment for reducing self-reported anxiety by first year nursing students before skill performance on tests. The students also demonstrated an increased percentage of successful skill performance tests after completion of PACE. It was concluded that PACE was an efficient and effective method for reducing self-reported anxiety and for increasing skill performance test success in first year nursing students enrolled at Chemeketa Community College, Salem, Oregon. It was recommended that PACE be implemented in the first year of the nursing program.

Abstract:
Patient engagement has become a widely used term, but remains a poorly understood concept in healthcare. Citations for the term during the past two decades have increased markedly throughout the healthcare-related disciplines without a common definition. Patient engagement has been credited for contributing to improved outcomes and experiences of care. Means of identifying and evaluating practices that facilitate patient engagement in care have become an ethical imperative for patient-centered care. This process begins with a definition of the concept. Concept analysis is a means of establishing a common definition of a concept through identification of its attributes, antecedents and consequences within the context of its use. Concept analysis is a methodology that has been used in social science and nursing as a means to resolve conceptual barriers to theory development in an evolving field. The methodological theory was based in the analytic philosophical tradition and sustained during the 20th century by the strength of philosophical positivism in the health sciences. This concept analysis is guided procedurally by Rogers’ evolutionary approach that incorporates postmodern philosophical principles and well-defined techniques. This dissertation is informed by the expanded and updated perspective of the neomodern era in nursing research, which advances the concept analysis methodology further. An analysis of the concept underlying the term patient engagement in the scientific literature revealed four defining attributes: personalization, access, commitment and therapeutic alliance. These defining attributes were derived through thematic analysis of over 100 individual attributes shared among six categories and three domains. The resultant definition revealed that patient engagement is both process and behavior shaped by the relationship between patient and provider and the environment where healthcare delivery takes place. Patient engagement is defined as the desire and capability to actively choose to participate in care in a way uniquely appropriate to the individual, in cooperation with a healthcare provider or institution, for the purposes of maximizing outcomes or improving experiences of care. In addition to the attributes of the concept identified in the literature, themes relevant to patient engagement were identified through inputs from six focus groups of persons living with HIV in New York City. The focus group participants were convened to inform the development of a mobile application designed to support their healthcare needs. Their experiences, insights and expectations were valuable in ascertaining those actions or behaviors that may serve to assist the patient in obtaining and adhering to care. The focus group transcripts were coded twice. The first round occurred prior to the concept analysis of the literature and used emergent coding methodology to capture meanings independent of the findings of the concept analysis. The second round occurred after the concept analysis of the literature and used the resultant attributes to perform a directed concept analysis of the transcripts. The content analyses of the transcripts from the patient perspective supported and reinforced the attributes from the concept analysis. The focus groups also highlighted another important aspect of patient engagement, that of privacy/confidentiality, which had not been specifically addressed in the concept analysis of the literature. The definition and the identified attributes serve as a heuristic in designing patient engagement strategies and as a basis for future development of the engagement concept in healthcare. The supporting concepts for engagement, especially the role of empathy in the therapeutic alliance, require further clarification and debate. While patient engagement may be promoted through face-to-face interactions or through health information technology, the defining attributes are invariable and should guide the design of engagement processes and tools. Finally, the value of understanding and exploring the defining attributes of patient engagement in medical and nursing education becomes clear, as is the need for continuing clinical training to support and encourage patient engagement skills.

Abstract:
The incidence of falls and serious injuries related to patient falls in hospitals is on the rise. This situation could potentially result in serious injuries and even death for the patient, as well as financial burden for acute care hospitals and increased workloads and stress for nursing staff. The incidence of falls in the metropolitan acute care hospital medical ward where this study was conducted continues to be problematic. This research study investigates the factors that cause patient falls in order to maintain and enhance sustainable falls prevention management. The falls risk assessment tool used in the hospital was part of the 6-PACK Falls prevention program for patients that was developed in 2002. A mixed method case study was employed for the research. Data was collected from a medical ward in two phases: Phase 1 analysed the quantitative falls data from the hospital RiskMan software tool and Patient Centred Care Plan (PCCP). This analysis informed the development of the qualitative research in Phase 2 which included the nurse questionnaire and nurse focus group discussions, as well as patient interviews to examine the complexities involved in falls management prevention. The triangulation of nurse and patient viewpoints of the falls prevention program, together with the administrative (RiskMan, PCCP) data, provides a fuller exploration of the contributing factors and adds to the body of knowledge in this important area. The Donabedian model of structure, process and outcome (SPO) was adapted to form an Inpatient Falls Prevention model that could be effective in the analysis of all aspects of patient care. The data collected in the quantitative and qualitative phases was analysed using this Inpatient Falls Prevention model. The case study identified that there were a significant number of patients whose falls risk assessment was not documented as part of their daily care plan. This resulted in high-risk patients not having falls prevention strategies implemented in their nursing care. For cognitively impaired patients falls were much higher for several reasons, including patient-nurse ratios, time challenges and issues surrounding the management of patients with dementia, delirium, and behavioural issues. The ward and bed layout, equipment malfunction, lack of patient education, and engagement in their falls prevention plan were also identified as contributing factors to inpatient falls. This study found that nurses failed to properly implement falls prevention strategies and management in the medical ward, and makes a number of recommendations for the benefit to all stakeholders - the healthcare system, hospitals, nurses, and most importantly, the patients. There is an increased need for professional development of nursing staff to identify and document patients at risk of falls and to modify the falls risk assessment tool. Patients need to be more actively engaged in their falls prevention plan and there needs to be better stakeholder communication: nurse to nurse, nurse to patient and nurse to allied health professionals. In addition, there is a need for more frequent PCCP auditing and immediate feedback to nursing staff. In this way, nurse knowledge of patient assessment, falls documentation and implementation strategies would assist in increasing patient safety and enhancing their hospital experience.

Abstract:
Although newer in the traditional setting, palliative care and surgeries are emerging at a very rapid pace. As the path of the surgeon, the patient‘s disease trajectory, and the path of palliative intervention overlap, it is possible for professional and personal conflicts to arise, with negotiations needing to take place. Surgeons and palliative care colleagues, along with other health team members and patients, will need to collaborate on a very intimate level, and often.

Abstract:
Abstract Before the 17th century most wounded soldiers received little medical care beyond that provided by fellow soldiers or women traveling with the baggage train or orders of nursing monks. Ming armies and Ottoman Janissaries were notable exceptions: they built dedicated military hospitals. The chapter highlights the first military hospitals in Europe, which did not replace barebones monasteries and a few charitable hospices until several decades after the Thirty Years War: Les Invalides in Paris in 1676 and Chelsea in London in 1682. French armies pioneered modern military medicine during the wars of Louis XIV. They were the first to utilize mobile field hospitals and “flying ambulances” during the Wars of the French Revolution. France also set up the first corps of modern medics, soldiers minimally trained in battlefield medicine and set up the first female nursing orders. Military medicine expanded immensely in the 20th century, keeping pace with the general expansion of war. That meant female nurses and doctors moved closer to the front while male medics moved directly into combat. Their stories form the bulk of the chapter.

Abstract:
This chapter aims to explain the overview of electronic learning (e-learning); the emerging trends in e-learning; the important factors of e-learning; the relationships among e-learning quality, learning satisfaction, and learning motivation; the implementation of e-learning; the approaches and barriers to e-learning utilization; e-learning for medical and nursing education; and the significance of e-learning in modern education. When compared to the traditional mode of classroom learning, there is clear evidence that e-learning brings faster delivery, lower costs, more effective learning, and lower environmental impact in the modern learning environments. E-learning allows each individual to tackle the subject at their own pace, with interactive tasks being set in place to ensure a thorough understanding throughout each module. The chapter argues that utilizing e-learning has the potential to increase educational performance and reach strategic goals in modern education.

Abstract:
To varying degrees, Arab countries are experiencing demographic shifts towards ageing populations. This is brought about by a region-wide decline in mortality and fertility rates and a surge in life expectancy over the last few decades. Future projections indicate a much faster pace of population ageing with subsequent rectangularization of the population pyramid. Rapid urbanization, increased tobacco consumption, nutrition transition, and reduced physical activity have contributed towards the rise of non-communicable diseases in later life. Of significance are the high levels of diabetes and obesity in oil-rich countries. Meanwhile, geriatrics and gerontology remain nascent fields in most medical and nursing schools. Some of the most pressing needs include building population-based databases, emphasizing geriatric and gerontology programmes, embracing a holistic patient-centred approach to care supported by coordinated referrals to specialized follow-up, capitalizing on the role of the family and intergenerational support systems, and encouraging civil society organizations of older persons.

"A study of 207 graduate business students found that 80% had engaged in at least one of 15 unethical academic practices as a graduate student (Brown, 1995). These students also perceived themselves as more ethical than their undergraduate counterparts, although they had similar rates of academic dishonesty. Because the research conducted among various graduate schools has been lim-ited in scope, we systematically investigated the definition, prevalence, perceived prevalence, and severity of, as well as justifications for and expected responses to, academic dishonesty at the graduate level using the same approach as LaGrange (1992). These issues were assessed and compared from the perspectives of students and faculty representing multiple disciplines within the university. Students', fac-ulty members', and administrators' ideal and realistic expectations of how cheating would be handled were also examined. Finally, the relation between academically dishonest behavior and student demographic variables was examined. METHOD Procedure A sample of students, faculty, and administrators at the graduate and professional school level was obtained from a large, private, religiously affiliated Midwestern university. All programs were invited to participate in this research, and 22 pro-grams agreed to participate. Students, faculty, and administrators all received pack-ets that contained a recruitment letter, a survey, two answer sheets, and an envelope for returning the survey via intercampus mail. Respondents were asked to return the surveys unmarked if they did not want to complete them. Surveys were placed in the campus mailboxes of 2,669 graduate students. One department did not have mailboxes and consequently 83 surveys were distributed via U.S. mail. Surveys were distributed to 387 faculty and 50 administrators via intercampus mail. Participants Survey instruments were sent to 2,752 students, with 246 students returning com-pleted surveys for a return rate of 8.9%. The student group is made up of students representing all year levels, working toward a variety of graduate degrees (MA, MS, JD, MD, and PhD), and representing the social sciences, natural sciences, hu-manities, health sciences, nursing, law, and medicine. Survey instruments were sent to 387 faculty, with 49 faculty returning com-pleted surveys for a return rate of 12.6%. The faculty sample was 61.2% men, and included 34 (69.4%) tenured faculty and 15 (30.6%) nontenure-track faculty. Sev-enty-seven percent of the faculty were either associate or full professors.

Abstract:
As the first round of baby boomers turn 65 in 2011, we must be prepared for the largest demographic group in history that could need long term care from nursing homes and home health providers. The development of socially assistive robots for health care applications can provide measurable improvements in patient safety, quality of care, and operational efficiencies by playing an increasingly important role in patient care in the fast pace of crowded clinics, hospitals and nursing/veterans homes. However, there are a number of research issues that need to be addressed in order to design such robots. In this paper, we address one of the main limitations to the development of intelligent socially assistive robots for health care applications: Robotic control architecture design and implementation with explicit social and assistive task functionalities. In particular, we present the design of a unique learning-based multi-layer decision making control architecture for utilization in determining the appropriate behavior of the robot. Herein, we explore and compare two different learning-based techniques that can be utilized as the main decision-making module of the controller. Preliminary experiments presented show the potential of the integration of the aforementioned techniques into the overall design of such robots intended for assistive scenarios.

Preliminary experiments presented show the potential of the integration of the aforementioned techniques into the overall design of such robots intended for assistive scenarios.

Abstract:
A new novel breed of robots known as socially assistive robots is emerging. These robots are capable of providing assistance to individuals through social and cognitive interaction. The development of socially assistive robots for health care applications can provide measurable improvements in patient safety, quality of care, and operational efficiencies by playing an increasingly important role in patient care in the fast pace of crowded clinics, hospitals and nursing/veterans homes. However, there are a number of research issues that need to be addressed in order to design such robots. In this paper, we address one main challenge in the development of intelligent socially assistive robots: The robot’s ability to identify, understand and react to human intent and human affective states during assistive interaction. In particular, we present a unique non-contact and non-restricting sensory-based approach for identification and categorization of human body language in determining the affective state of a person during natural real-time human-robot interaction. This classification allows the robot to effectively determine its taskdriven behavior during assistive interaction. Preliminary experiments show the potential of integrating the proposed gesture recognition and classification technique into intelligent socially assistive robotic systems for autonomous interactions with people.
