Abstract:

Background: In Israel, four criteria allow for legal abortion: women's age <17 or >40, fetal malformation, danger to the woman's health, unmarried woman or caused by rape. 

Research Objective: To understand why women seek abortion, so as to build appropriate prevention/intervention programs.

Research Type: Cross-sectional study

Research Population: 102 women who applied to the Committee for Termination of Pregnancy at Galilee Medical Center, January-December 2013

Research Instruments: Questionnaire examining violence experienced by the woman, use of contraceptives, and motives for abortion.

Findings: The mean age of the women was 28.75±7.25 years. Reason for seeking abortion: poor economic situation 53.7%, violence in the home 13.7%. 91.7% reported a poverty-level monthly income no income at all. 42.6% of women who experienced violence in the home had had previous abortion, as opposed to 36.8% who did not experience violence. 57.1% did not use contraceptives regularly. 21.5% cited the prohibitive cost of contraceptives. 18% of participants noted the importance of their attending nurse's presence at the Committee for Termination of Pregnancy.

Conclusions: The major reasons for abortion, poor economic situation and violence in the home, are not included in the legal criteria for abortion. There is a need to re-think public policy on cost of contraceptives and to educate the public on contraceptive use. Violence in the family is more likely to be identified if a nurse is present at the Committee for Termination of Pregnancy. Also, a nurse should advise on the purchase of contraceptives and instruct on their use.

Addiction influences performance of an individual as well as viability of his life and also intensifies the problems both physically and psychologically. From psychological perspective, the devastating influence of substance addiction is exceptionally significant as the major consequences not only cuddle the individual but also ruin the personality facets, social functioning, neighbouring environment, family, friends and overall quality of life. The objective of the study was to assess self esteem of the patients attending the DDTC unit of PGIMER, Chandigarh

The result depicted that the mean age of the participants was 30.45±8.59 whereas the age range of participants was 18-50. Around 50% participants had started abusing substances before 19 years. The mean age for starting substance abuse is 22.98±6.04 and range varies from 12 years to 40 years. Majority of the participants (73%) had moderate self esteem. The mean self esteem of the participants was 22.17±4.49 with a range of 11-34.

Abstract:

Our pursuit for excellence in nursing care can only be complete with a truly and comprehensive holistic approach, where our actions can be shaped by our patients perceptions of the care they were provided. Their experiential input can inform us how best to plan their care and ensure that it is respectful of and 

In Nursing, we “know” patient demographical data to guide us on a daily basis to provide better treatments. It is “treatment” However, there are patients’ perceptions wich is diffrents. It is easy to know the patient’s vital signs, but it is not easy to know how they feel about it! We are told, as healthcare providers, to fix the bed’s railings to ensure patient’s safety from falling. However, we are not told to tuck-in the patient with a warm blanket and say (have a good night). This might be due to the fact that we can’t really distinguish between “treatment” and “care”. Suzanne Gordon, said: “true health reform depends on knowing difference between treatment and care”.

In other hand, keeping the care providers at top condition is of paramount importance. In order to achieve this, there is a need for the organization to meet staff perceptions and experiance who are the “deliverers” of these services. In fact, staff experiance affect direct and indirect the quality of care and loyalty to a hospital. Therfore, the engagement of employees may benefit a health care organization and result in improved patient care and higher patient satisfaction.

This presentation will explore the dimensions of Patient & Staff Experiance and the value of patient engagement and Healthy Work Envoirment on how it is integral to transforming organizational culture and in creating a culture of Empathy and Caring.

Abstract:

This systematised review critically examines the contribution of Transformational Leadership (TL) to the job satisfaction of nurses. The objectives of the research were to critically explore the influence of individual consideration and Intellectual Stimulation (IS) on the job satisfaction of nurses. Although a number of previous studies have examined the relationship between TL and nurses’ job satisfaction, no systematised review of this area has been undertaken since 2008. The present study was therefore conducted to fill this gap in the research. Three databases were searched for this study, reviewed eight relevant studies representing the world’s major continents, including North America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. All eight studies used correlational research design (one including three focus group discussions), while all were found to be of high quality based on the CASP framework. The overall conclusion of this review is confirmation of a significant correlation between TL and nurses’ job satisfaction, suggesting that TL makes a positive contribution towards job satisfaction. Similarly, three of the eight studies found that both IS and individual consideration can contribute in a positive manner towards nurses’ job satisfaction. However, this finding is limited to three studies, resulting in the need for further research to gain improved insights into the effectiveness of these two components in relation to job satisfaction.

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the patients after orthopedic surgery about the current status of pain assessment in nurses using the Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) and to analyze the related influence factors.

Methods: Questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in a top three hospital in Chengdu, when they left the hospital from 2017.12 to 2018.4. The survey included general patient information and a questionnaire on the status of pain assessment with nurses using NRS.

Results: In the survey, the scores of these two items, whether the nurses rehearsed the pain and whether the scores were interpreted, were the lowest. they were 1.38±1.199 and 1.61±1.176 respectively. The results of whether the patients concealed their pain level and whether they expressed their pain in time were higher, 2.63 ± 0.643, 2.49±0.876 respectively. Univariate analysis found that the interval between pain assessments was the main influencing factor of patients with acute pain (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Nurses should correctly grasp the interval between pain assessments, correctly use NRS assessment method, and strengthen pain management for postoperative patients to promote the recovery of patients as soon as possible.
