    Hospitals are seeking innovative and efficient methods of decreasing avoidable readmissions. Despite the volume of nursing literature exploring the use of advanced practices nurses in providing transitional care, only one study mentions the use of a faith community nurse. The faith community nurse operates in the community and has the skills to provide transitional care. The purpose of this study was to describe transitional care as implemented by faith community nurses using a standardized nursing language: the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC). A mixed method descriptive design was selected to facilitate a thorough exploration of the interventions implemented by faith community nurses. The findings suggested that the majority of interventions are in the coping assistance, communication enhancement, and patient education Classes of the Behavioral Domain. The most frequently selected nursing interventions in NIC (n=26) were found and validated by the faith community nurse focus group. Results were compared to evidenced-based priority transitional care interventions described in research. In addition, results were compared to previous faith community nursing research describing the practice. Results were also described using the Faith Community Nursing conceptual framework. The results may provide the underpinnings for further testing of transitional care interventions

    Standardized nursing terminologies (SNT) have been developed to describe the nursing process systematically. The aim of this research was to study the applicability of the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) in the psychiatric outpatient care setting in Finland. The research includes three phases. In the first phase using an integrative literature review we identified nursing interventions in research publications (n=60) and used the NIC to analyze the identified interventions. In the second phase, we used an ethnographically oriented work-place study to identify interventions in the clinical setting. This included observations and interviews and the findings were analyzed together with nurses (n=17). The core interventions were identified using the Delphi method. The panelists consisted of nurses and nurse managers (round one n=54, round two n=26). In the third phase we identified nursing interventions in nursing progress notes (n=1150) and in nursing care summaries (n=17) and mapped these into the NIC. In all we identified 105 different nursing interventions, of which 95% could be mapped into the NIC. The emphasis was in interventions aiming at behavioral change and more specifically interventions that support coping by building on patients’ strengths. In nursing documentation, the most frequent interventions were Surveillance and Care Coordination. The group delivery method was common in all phases. The findings of this study emphasize the need for a systematic terminology to describe nursing interventions for nurses to conceptualize their work, to make the work visible and to ensure the quality of nursing documentation. The broad coverage, descriptiveness of the interventions and the taxonomical structure of the NIC support its applicability. However, the interventions in the classification were found to be overlapping which limits the systematic transfer of information and the possibilities for secondary use of data. Additional limitations are the lack of semantic coherence with the concepts used in research and the difficulty of describing interventions delivered using the group method. This research generated recommendations for the development of the classification. The most central ones include the need to include multiple methods in the research and development and the integration of concepts used in research literature.Hoitotyön interventioiden luokituksen soveltuvuus aikuispsykiatrian avohoitoon Hoitotyön systemaattinen kuvaaminen edellyttää yhteisen kielen ja käsitteistöjen käyttöä. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään hoitotyön interventioiden luokituksen (Nursing Interventions Classification, NIC) soveltuvuutta aikuispsykiatrian avohoitoon. Tutkimus koostuu kolmesta osavaiheesta. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa integratiivisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla tutkimuksista (n=60) tunnistettiin hoitotyön interventioita ja nämä analysoitiin NIC-luokituksen avulla. Toisessa vaiheessa hyödynnettiin etnografista työntutkimusta. Hoitotyön interventioita tunnistettiin hoitajien työtä havainnoimalla ja hoitajia haastattelemalla. Analysointi tapahtui yhdessä hoitajien (n=17) kanssa. Ydininterventioiden tutkimus tapahtui sähköistä Delfoi-menetelmää hyödyntäen. Panelisteina toimivat sairaanhoitajat ja hoitotyön lähijohtajat (ensimmäisellä kierroksella n=54, toisella kierroksella n=26). Kolmannessa vaiheessa tutkittiin hoitotyön päivittäiskirjauksia (n=1150) ja hoitotyön yhteenvetoja (n=17), joista tunnistetut interventiot yhdistettiin NICluokitukseen. Tutkimuksessa tunnistettiin yhteensä 105 interventioita, joista 95 %:lle löytyi vastine luokituksesta. Keskeisiä interventioita kirjallisuuskatsauksessa, etnografisessa työntutkimuksessa ja ydininterventioiden tutkimuksessa olivat käyttäytymisen muutokseen tähtäävät psykososiaaliset interventiot ja erityisesti voimavaralähtöinen selviytymiskyvyn tukeminen. Hoitotyön kirjauksissa korostuivat seuranta ja hoidon koordinointi. Interventioiden ryhmämuotoinen toteutustapa oli yleinen kaikissa tutkimusvaiheissa. Tutkimuksen tulokset korostavat yhteisten käsitteiden tarvetta hoitotyön interventioille työn käsitteellistämisen, näkyväksi tekemisen ja kirjaamisen laadun näkökulmista. Tutkitun luokituksen soveltuvuutta tukevat sen kattavuus, käsitteiden hyvä tunnistettavuus ja hierarkkinen rakenne. Luokituksen interventiokäsitteet ovat osittain päällekkäisiä heikentäen sen systemaattista käytettävyyttä ja tiedon toisiokäytön mahdollisuuksia. Soveltuvuutta rajoittavat myös luokituksen vähäinen yhteys tutkimuskirjallisuudessa käytettyihin käsitteisiin ja vaikeus kuvata ryhmämuotoisia interventioita. Tutkimus antaa suosituksia luokituksen jatkokehittämiselle. Keskeisimpänä ovat monimenetelmäisyys tutkimuksessa ja kehittämisessä sekä tutkimuskirjallisuuden käsitteistöjen vahvempi integroiminen luokitukseen

    Nursing in long-term institutional care:An examination of the process of care

    Get PDF
    Nursing care in nursing homesIn the past decades, the amount and complexity of care in long-term institutional care for the older population have increased. At the same time, its quality is cause for concern. Shortcomings are often associated with the number and composition of nursing staff. Research into the relationship between nursing staff and quality of care primarily rely on secondary survey data that do not take into account what is being done during the process of caregiving. Since quality of care outcomes are highly affected by nursing care, the aim of this dissertation was to provide insight into what type of nursing interventions are performed and by whom. An important finding was that nursing interventions mainly concerned the physical care needs of residents. Limited time was spent on, for example, psychosocial nursing interventions. Since nursing homes’ philosophy is on person-centered care that encompasses the well-being of residents, this should be addressed. Preconditions such as sufficient time and continuing training of nursing staff, for instance, in collaboration with educational health care institutions can contribute to this. A second important finding concerned the limited role differentiation between nursing staff, such as registered nurses and nursing assistants, despite differences in educational background. If nursing staff are deployed according to their scope of practice and specific knowledge and skills, this would improve the quality of care. Furthermore, to actually be able to make statements about the relationship between nursing staff and quality of care, quality outcomes should be sensitive to nursing interventions

    Spiritual and emotional care is an important part of the person, especially in situations such as changes in health or a community coping with a pandemic. However, nurses report scarce university training in this area of care. The aim of the study is to define a catalogue of learning outcomes for spiritual and emotional care for undergraduate nurses. The design used a mixed method for the development and validation of learning outcomes. The first phase designs the catalogue of learning outcomes through a coordinating group and uses a bibliographic search and nursing legislation. The second phase validates the proposal through a group of experts, with a questionnaire using the modified Delphi technique in two rounds. The initial proposal was 75 learning outcomes, of which 17 were eliminated, 36 changed their wording and the experts proposed 7 new ones. The experts validated 65 learning outcomes: 14 for Assessment and diagnosis; 5 for Planning; 17 for Intervention; 4 for Evaluation and quality; 8 for Communication and interpersonal relationship and 17 for Knowledge and intrapersonal development. In conclusion, the academic curriculum can include these learning outcomes to help undergraduate nurses in the process of acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes in spiritual and emotional care.post-print641 K
