Competências de gestão para a função de Enfermeiro Gestor

O conceito de competências tem sido amplamente empregado nas práticas de Gestão de Recursos Humanos. Quando outras áreas, como a Enfermagem, concilia a prestação de cuidados com a própria gestão do seu capital humano, torna-se preponderante efetuar um cruzamento dos dois mundos. Este artigo pretende identificar as competências de gestão para a função de Enfermeiro Gestor, ou seja, para aqueles que exercem funções de gestão nas organizações, com base numa revisão de literatura. Foi possível identificar 189 competências, que se agruparam nas categorias: Gestão de recursos humanos, Competências interpessoais, Organização e planeamento, Competências técnicas de enfermagem, Comunicação, Preocupação pela qualidade, Conhecimento de políticas de saúde, Resiliência e motivação, Liderança, Competências técnicas de gestão, Resolução de problemas, Iniciativa, Pensamento crítico, Tecnologias de informação e Comunicação, Ética, Adaptação à mudança, Trabalho em equipa e Autonomia. Posteriormente, efetuou-se uma comparação das competências identificadas, com um estudo de referência publicado em 2010 pelo International Council of Nurses (ICN)

Rapport au Roi Souverain : rapport de la Commission d'Enquête ; A. M. le Secrétaire d'État de l'État Indépendant du Congo [31 octobre 1905]

Bakgrund: Den palliativa vården för hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal innebär att försöka uppnå den döende personens maximala livskvalitet och att lindra lidandet. Vården lutar sig mot det nationella vårdprogrammet för palliativ vård samt International Council of Nurses, ICN. Sjuksköterskans roll och uppgifter inom vården beskrivs där även de fyra hörnstenarna belyses. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter vid vård av patienter med palliativ diagnos. Metod: Examensarbetet är en litteraturöversikt baserad på Fribergs analysmetod. Denna litteraturöversikt inkluderar tio vetenskapliga artiklar som har sökts i databaserna CINAHL Complete och PubMed. Som en teoretisk utgångspunkt har Patricia Benners teori från novis till expert valts som en diskussion i resultatdiskussionen. Resultat: Sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter av att vårda patienter med en palliativ diagnos resulterade i fyra huvudteman i litteraturöversikten; kommunikation, närstående och relation, vårdteamet samt kunskap och erfarenheter. Diskussion: Resultatet i litteraturöversikten har diskuterats utifrån Benners teori. Sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter belystes genom fyra teman – kunskap och erfarenhet, närståendestöd, kommunikation mellan kollegor och gentemot patienten samt kultur som upplevd svårighet.Background: Palliative care for health professional means trying to achieve the maximum dying person's quality of life and ease suffering. The palliative care for health professionals means to try to achieve the dying person's maximum quality of life and alleviate suffering. The care inclined towards the Swedish national health care program for palliative care and the International Council of Nurses, ICN. The nurse's role and tasks in health care are described where even the four cornerstones elucidated. Aim: To elucidate the nurses perceived difficulties in nursing patients with palliative diagnosis. Method: The thesis is a literature review based on Friberg's analysis. This literature review includes ten scientific articles that have been searched in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. As a theoretical base, Patricia Benner's theory from novice to expert was selected as a discussion of the results discussion. Results: The nurses perceived difficulties of caring for patients with a palliative diagnosis resulted in four main themes in the literature; communication, family and relationship, the health care team as well as knowledge and experience. Discussion: The results of the literature review are discussed based on Benner's theory. The nurses' perceived difficulties irradiated by four themes – knowledge and experience, family support, communication between colleagues and towards the patient as well the culture as perceived difficulties

Ethical dimensions of paediatric nursing: A rapid evidence assessment

© 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. Background: Paediatric nurses often face complex situations requiring decisions that sometimes clash with their own values and beliefs, or with the needs of the children they care for and their families. Paediatric nurses often use new technology that changes the way they provide care, but also reduces their direct interaction with the child. This may generate ethical issues, which nurses should be able to address in the full respect of the child. Research question and objectives: The purpose of this review is to describe the main ethical dimensions of paediatric nursing. Our research question was, ‘What are the most common ethical dimensions and competences related to paediatric nursing?’ Research design: A rapid evidence assessment. Method: According to the principles of the rapid evidence assessment, we searched the PubMed, SCOPUS and CINAHL databases for papers published between January 2001 and March 2015. These papers were then independently read by two researchers and analysed according to the inclusion criteria. Ethical considerations: Since this was a rapid evidence assessment, no approval from the ethics committee was required. Findings: Ten papers met our inclusion criteria. Ethical issues in paediatric nursing were grouped into three areas: (a) ethical issues in paediatric care, (b) social responsibility and (c) decision-making process. Conclusion: Few studies investigate the ethical dimensions and aspects of paediatric nursing, and they are mainly qualitative studies conducted in critical care settings based on nurses’ perceptions and experiences. Paediatric nurses require specific educational interventions to help them resolve ethical issues, contribute to the decision-making process and fulfil their role as advocates of a vulnerable population (i.e. sick children and their families). Further research is needed to investigate how paediatric nurses can improve the involvement of children and their families in decision-making processes related to their care plan

Fenómenos de enfermería identificados en consultas de planificación familiar según la ICNP, Versión Beta 2

Survey descritivo, exploratório, retrospectivo realizado em um serviço de planejamento familiar, com o objetivo de identificar os fenômenos de enfermagem em consultas e mapeá-los segundo a ICNP, versão Beta 2. A coleta dos dados foi realizada em 52 prontuários, com consultas de enfermagem do período de outubro de 2001 a dezembro de 2002. Para a realização do mapeamento cruzado todos os fenômenos de enfermagem identificados foram compilados, organizados e comparados com os termos da ICNP. Dos 51 fenômenos/diagnósticos de enfermagem identificados, 46 (90,2%) apresentaram concordância exata e parcial com a ICNP. Os fenômenos de enfermagem identificados poderão auxiliar os enfermeiros nos cuidados às clientes que procuram serviços de planejamento familiar. A ICNP demonstrou ser abrangente, porém, alguns termos precisam ser revistos e outros acrescentados, mas, levando em consideração por se tratar de uma classificação internacional aplicável a diversos países, o mapeamento e o cruzamento de seus dados foram satisfatórios.Esta investigación descriptiva, exploratoria, retrospectiva se llevó a cabo en un servicio de planeo familiar.

Los fenómenos de enfermería identificados podrán ayudar los enfermeros para el cuidado de clientes que procuran servicios de planificación familiar. La ICNP demostró ser extenso, aunque algunos términos necesitan ser revisados y/o aumentados. Sin embargo, llevando en consideración que se trata de una clasificación internacional aplicable a diversos países, el mapeo y el cruce de sus datos fueron satisfactorios.This descriptive, exploratory, retrospective survey, carried out at a family planning service, aimed to identify nursing phenomena during nursing visits according to the ICNP, Beta version 2. Data were collected based on 52 records of nursing visits, realized from October 2001 to December 2002. To conduct the cross-mapping process, all identified nursing phenomena were joined, organized and compared according to the ICNP's terms. Of the 51 identified nursing phenomena/diagnoses, 46 (90.2%) showed exact and partial concordance. The identified nursing phenomena can be used to assist nurses to provide care for clients in family planning services. The ICNP showed to be a comprehensive program, although some terms need to be reviewed and others enhanced. However, considering that it is an international classification applicable to several countries, the mapping process and cross-references were very satisfactory

Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the advanced nurse practitioner role in primary care settings: a scoping review

Background: Workload and workforce issues in primary care are key drivers for the growing international trend to expand nursing roles. Advanced nurse practitioners are increasingly being appointed to take on activities and roles traditionally carried out by doctors. Successful implementation of any new role within multidisciplinary teams is complex and time-consuming, therefore it is important to understand the factors that may hinder or support implementation of the advanced nurse practitioner role in primary care settings. Objectives: To identify, appraise and synthesise the barriers and facilitators that impact implementation of advanced practitioner roles in primary care settings. Methods: A scoping review conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework and reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR. Eight databases (Cochrane Library, Health Business Elite, Kings Fund Library, HMIC, Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS and Web of Science) were searched to identify studies published in English between 2002 and 2017. Study selection and methodological assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers. A pre-piloted extraction form was used to extract the following data: study characteristics, context, participants and information describing the advanced nurse practitioner role. Deductive coding for barriers and facilitators was undertaken using a modified Yorkshire Contributory Framework. We used inductive coding for barriers or facilitators that could not be classified using pre-defined codes. Disagreements were addressed through discussion. Descriptive data was tabulated within evidence tables, and key findings for barriers and facilitators were brought together within a narrative synthesis based on the volume of evidence. Findings: Systematic searching identified 5976 potential records, 2852 abstracts were screened, and 122 full texts were retrieved. Fifty-four studies (reported across 76 publications) met the selection criteria. Half of the studies (n=27) were conducted in North America (n=27), and 25/54 employed a qualitative design. The advanced nurse practitioner role was diverse, working across the lifespan and with different patient groups. However, there was little agreement about the level of autonomy, or what constituted everyday activities. Team factors were the most frequently reported barrier and facilitator. Individual factors, lines of responsibility and ‘other’ factors (i.e. funding), were also frequently reported barriers. Facilitators included individual factors, supervision and leadership and ‘other’ factors (i.e. funding, planning for role integration). Conclusion: Building collaborative relationships with other healthcare professionals and negotiating the role are critical to the success of the implementation of the advanced nurse practitioner role. Team consensus about the role and how it integrates into the wider team is also essential

NAFTA and the Mobility of Highly Skilled Workers: The Case of Canadian Nurses

This article examines the impact of trade treaties on health professionals' international mobility. It presents a case study of the impact of labour mobility clauses in trade agreements on the Canadian nursing labour market. It provides statistical evidence on the impact of NAFTA's Chapter 16 on the cross-border movement of Canadian nurses in the 1990s. We observed that an increasingly large number of Canadian nurses went to work in the United States using the NAFTA facilitation mechanism but that this growth could not be attributed to the trade agreement alone; domestic labour market conditions are key to understanding this cross-border movement. The article concludes that trade treaties and international migration of health personnel do not offer simple solutions to health personnel shortages, but can pose a danger to precarious health systems in developing countries.labour mobility, NAFTA, nurses, International Relations/Trade, Labor and Human Capital,

Harmonising nursing terminologies using a conceptual framework

The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) and the Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System are standardised nursing terminologies that identify discrete elements of nursing practice, including nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes. While CCC uses a conceptual framework or model with 21 Care Components to classify these elements, ICNP, built on a formal Web Ontology Language (OWL) description logic foundation, uses a logical hierarchical framework that is useful for computing and maintenance of ICNP. Since the logical framework of ICNP may not always align with the needs of nursing practice, an informal framework may be a more useful organisational tool to represent nursing content. The purpose of this study was to classify ICNP nursing diagnoses using the 21 Care Components of the CCC as a conceptual framework to facilitate usability and inter-operability of nursing diagnoses in electronic health records. Findings resulted in all 521 ICNP diagnoses being assigned to one of the 21 CCC Care Components. Further research is needed to validate the resulting product of this study with practitioners and develop recommendations for improvement of both terminologie
