Student nurse socialisation in compassionate practiceCurtis, Katherine January 2012 (has links)
BACKGROUND: This thesis explores the 21st Century student nurse journey of professional socialisation in compassionate practice. The concept of compassion in nursing is currently under the spotlight following reports that indicate a lack of compassion within UK nursing care. Compassionate practice is a requirement within nursing and a stipulated expectation of student nurse professional preparation, and yet compassion is a complex and contested concept. METHOD: Using qualitative methodology, a Glaserian Grounded Theory study was completed that involved in depth individual interviews with nineteen student nurses in the North of England over an eighteen month period. Through the iterative process of constant comparison, theoretical sampling, coding and comparing themes from within the student interview data, a new Grounded Theory of student nurse socialisation in compassionate practice was identified. Supplementary data from interviews with five nurse teachers and the NHS patient and staff surveys from within the students' geographical area of practice contributed to the discussion. FINDINGS: Students reported exposure to variability in practice and a lack of understanding about expectations of the Registered Nurse role and emotional labour boundaries, within the enactment of compassionate practice. This left them feeling vulnerable and uncertain of their future. They experienced dissonance between the professional ideal of compassionate practice and the practice reality they witnessed. Students managed the dissonance by balancing their intentions: to uphold the compassionate practice ideal or relinquish it in order to survive reality when they became a Registered Nurse. CONCLUSIONS: Student nurse socialisation in compassionate practice involves managing the uncertainty and vulnerability associated with dissonance between professional ideals and practice reality, leaving student nurses balancing their intentions towards or away from compassionate practice. This new Grounded Theory has important implications in relation to nurse education and nursing practice where compassionate practice is an expectation of 21st Century nursing.

Reconciling the good patient persona with problematic and non-problematic humour : a ground theoryMcCreaddie, May A. January 2009 (has links)
Humour is a complex phenomenon, incorporating cognitive, emotional, behavioural. physiological and social aspects. Humour research to date has concentrated on the 'healthy' individual via correlation studies using personality-trait based measurements. principally on psychology students in laboratory conditions. Nurses are key participants in modem healthcare interactions however, little is known about their humour use.

Nurses' communication with mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unitsDithole, Kefalotse Sylvia 21 November 2014 (has links)
Critically ill patients experience overwhelming communication problems; caused by
intubation and cognitive, sensory or language deficits that distance the patients from
communicating their needs and wants from nurses and loved ones. The purpose of this
study was to explore communication patterns and strategies with the aim of
implementing intervention strategies for nurse/patient communication in the intensive
care units. The American Association of Critical Care Nurses’ Synergy Model for Patient
Care was used to guide the study. A mixed method approach using quasi-experimental
design combining quantitative and qualitative data collections and analysis was used.
Concurrent data collection for quantitative and qualitative data was used. Auditing of
patient’s files, protocols, family counselling conference and in-service books and a
survey for nurses was used for quantitative data. Qualitative data collection was through
interviewing nurses and nurse managers.
Lack of documentation and use of other communication strategies were the key findings
of the study. In accordance with the model used for the study clinical judgment and
moral distress were found to be common among nurses. Lack of collaboration between
nurses and other health care workers was also attributed to poor communication with
mechanically ventilated patients. Conclusions derived from the study are that nurses
need to be supported through informal and formal training on documentation and use of
communication methods available / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

An action plan to enhance a sustainable culture of safety to improve patient outcomesHaskins, Helena Elizabeth Maria 12 1900 (has links)
Sustainability is a complex system of interaction between a hospital, individual,
community, and environmental factors that is required to work in harmony to keep a
patient healthy. With the complexities that exist within healthcare, the nurse leader is
required to ensure that the care environment, processes and the safety behaviours
required from nurses to provide safe healthcare is in place and sustained to contribute
to the enhancement of patient safety, whilst in the care of the diverse nursing
workforce. The aim of the study is to develop an action plan to sustain best safety
culture practices for improved patient outcomes in hospitals with a culturally diverse
nursing workforce.
Methodology: A multiple method design was utilised to study the safety culture and
positive work environment (hospital climate) that exists among culturally diverse
nurses and how it is managed by the nurse managers in order to identify and describe actions that can be included in an action plan to sustain best safety culture practices
for improved patient outcomes. Purposeful and convenience sampling methods were
used in the study. Two hospitals, with a very diverse nursing workforce were
purposefully selected to participate in the study. Pretesting of the questionnaire and
e-Delphi embedded assessment validation instrument were done by participants not
part of sample groups. Phase 1: The Hospitals outcomes data for nursing admission
assessment within 24-hours, falls and hospital acquired pressure ulcer incidences and
hand hygiene rates were collected on a checklist. Phase 2: Two questionnaires (1) nurses capturing: biographical data and culture, patient safety (nursing admission
assessment within 24-hours, falls and HAPU and hand hygiene), and safety culture
and positive work environment (hospital climate); (2) nurse managers capturing:
biographical data and culture, patient safety (nursing admission assessment within 24-
hours, falls and HAPU and hand hygiene), safety culture and Positive Work
Environment (hospital climate) and just culture practices. Phase 3: the Draft e-Delphi
action plan with embedded assessment validation instrument was developed. Phase
4: The panel experts selected to validate the e-Delphi draft action plan with embedded
assessment validation instrument in pre-determined rounds.
Data analysis: Phase 1: The outcomes data was displayed in bar graphs and
illustrated that (1) the nursing admission assessment within 24 hour period not been
sustained over time for the medical, surgical, paediatric and critical care areas; (2) a
hundred and sixty two fall incidence; (3) ninety six HAPU incidences and (4) hand
hygiene rate of between 80-94% being reported. Phase 2: A participation rate of
46.33% by nurses and 73.91% by nurse managers were achieved. The data for the 2
questionnaires indicated the need to include 54 action statement to address the
culture, patient safety, hospital climate (PWE), safety culture and just culture gaps
identified. Phase 3: the e-Delphi draft action plan developed based on literature review
and data from phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 4: 100% participation rate was achieved.
Consensus was reached within two rounds that the 54 action statements are essential
and important for patient safety and identified the responsible persons required
enacting on action statement and timeframe required to complete action.
Recommendation: The Action Plan to enhance a sustainable Culture of Safety to
improve patient outcomes were decided by panel experts. Plan to disseminate the
plan among the CNO for implementation. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)
