Part 2: Teaching Plan
Purpose: Successfully teach your group of students.
Your Role: Educator
Population: Expertise Nurses in ICU
Topic: Perception and response capacity of nurses to alarm fatigue in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
When you are a nurse educator, you will possibly take on your preceptor’s or your faculty’s role for a student just like you. Consider what your preceptor or faculty will observe during your SIM lesson and what type of feedback he/she will provide for you.
1. What will he/she be looking for or expecting?
2. How will you be coached?
3. Describe what you think you would do in his/her role before, during, and after your lesson.
Part 3: Culminating Experience Research
See File attached
Although we know you did not complete a full research project, you completed the research proposal with an idea of what your actual results could be. If you ever do complete a full research project, an important step is making sure your research is published/disseminated so that other nurse educator professionals can benefit from your hard work. There are many ways to disseminate information in nursing as seen in your text, including many different nursing journals.
As a nurse educator, you will engage in professional development and find peer-reviewed information to share with your students.
1. According to your research, describe a proposal-
2. Where it might fit if it were published and why.
3. Describe how you would disseminate your work and the reasons for your choice.
Part 4: Nursing Research
1. Compare independent variables, dependent variables, and extraneous variables.
2. Describe two ways that researchers attempt to control extraneous variables.
Part 5: Nursing Research
1. Describe the “levels of evidence”
2. Provide an example of the type of practice change that could result from each.
Part 6: Advanced Family Practicum
Topic: Challenges of the interview of the ARNP initial post due this week
Listed below are the three most challenging interview questions you may experience during the interview process. To fully prepare the student for his or her future interview, please provide a clear and concise answer as to how you as the APRN will answer each interview question.
1. What is your Biggest Weakness? and why.
2. Describe how you resolved conflict with a co-worker or patient? and what do you learn?
3. Tell me about yourself? (2 personal and 2 nursing professional characteristics)
Perception of Patients on the Humanized Care of the ICU Nursing Team
Abstract
The human being has dimensions studied by biology, psychology, social and human sciences, spirituality, and health that are interconnected; also, as a human being, they have the unique reasoning capacity in the human species. In this sense, it can be inferred that the essence of caring is typical of human beings to the human being, especially from the nursing profession founded on ethical and professional practices. Therefore, nursing professionals are expected to take charge of the comprehensive primary care of patients, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU), due to their health status. Starting from the previous premise, it is important to know the perception of patients about the professional actions of nurses in ICU, so the objective of this research is to determine the perception of patients in ICU about the humanized care they receive from nursing professionals, to improve users’ care and service and feel satisfied with the humanized care provided by the surgical center nursing staff. In addition, establish strategies aimed at improving humanized care.
Keywords: Nursing, comprehensive primary care, ICU, to humanize care.
Statement of purpose
In ICU, the admission of patients is routine; therefore, health personnel do not always have enough time or experience to make a comprehensive approach to patients. Thus, nurses may show themselves before mechanical and automated patients, causing patients to perceive dehumanized treatment, increasing the gap between professional training, the health system, technology, and the humane and compassionate treatment of nursing professionals (Crigger, Brannigan & Baird, 2020). To this, it is essential to add the growing incidence of increasingly young sick populations and health relapses of older patients, which has increased the workload of health teams, limiting their personal and professional resources to offer comprehensive care. Thus, patients may perceive a lack of communication and mutual support from health professionals, especially nurses, neglecting the care of each patient’s spirit and vital essence.
Facing this situation, WHO (2016) has expressed itself, calling for the consideration of the structures, way of working, and professionals surrounding ICU patients. This organization affirms that the humanization of clinical practice and public health depends on a reform of the iron and rigid medical and epidemiological tradition. Then, it would suppose that the reform should focus on combining the scientific objectification of the health/disease/intervention process with new ways of operating that include patients as human beings in need of compassion and virtue and encourage health professionals to dispose of their better communication, understanding and human skills to meet the needs of patients.
Regarding nursing, different studies have been interested in identifying the importance of the humanized treatment of health personnel towards users, as a determining factor for the recovery process, both for the user and their family. Dr. Watson, the author of the “Human Care Theory,” argues that given the risk of dehumanization toward patient care, due to the great administrative restructuring of most health care systems in the world, it is necessary the rescue the human, spiritual and transpersonal aspect, in clinical, administrative, educational and research practice by nursing professionals (Watson, 2016). So, it is easy to understand from Watson’s proposal that nurses are professionals with technical capacity and ability and ethical and humane to efficiently integrate any multi-professional health team since the functions of these professionals are oriented to the comprehensive care of patients with specific needs as in ICU.
From this perspective, it is understandable that the most vulnerable patients require special and specific care for their recovery; therefore, nurses must offer to humanize care, thinking that the patient is a needing affection, intimacy, and shelter. So, along with good practices, humanization must be linked as an essential practice, allowing to orient the work of nurses towards the service of the sick, thus addressing psychological, biological, social, and spiritual dimensions (Brannigan, 2018). Therefore, it is possible that promoting a humanized approach to ICU care among nurses allows them to openly demonstrate compassion towards others, listen carefully to patients, understand their concerns, and through fraternity serve as an instrument of healing.
Focusing on the previous approach, the nurses, and patients of the ICU unit of Nicklaus Children’s hospital may be experiencing this phenomenon and suffering from the gap between need and care that implies the absence of humanized care. Thus, identifying this lack promptly and raising awareness of humanized care would mean improving the quality and care that the most vulnerable patients receive.
