In this paper I will identify the key elements in the article Leadership Practices and Staff Nurses’ Intent to Stay: A Systematic Review (2011) and its potential on clinical practice. Key Elements Leadership practices can have a great effect on staff satisfaction and motivation in the work place. The looming threat of a future nursing shortage can have a direct effect on patient care, work place culture, and ultimately the decision to remain in a job. Leadership must be vigilant in retention efforts to keep nurses in the work place. This systematic review aims to gather information describing leadership techniques that have a positive effect on staff nurses decision to stay in the work place (Cowden, Cummings, & Profetto-McGrath, 2011).
INTRODUCTION The aim of this essay is to explore communication and the importance of this skill in the nurse/patient relationship. It will focus on different communication techniques, including verbal and non-verbal, used every day and discuss barriers that may arise in any given situation. Strategies will be identified to overcome barriers to effective communication; it will also explain the Linear and Circular Models of effective communication. Communication is a two way cycle that involves the interaction of verbal, non-verbal, and written signals. To emphasise a person’s feelings, thoughts, knowledge and empathy, this describes some ways in which we transfer information back and forth with the patient, (Wilkinson 1999; Wallace 2001) Cobweb, 2011) refers to verbal communication which involves the use of the spoken word.
Each nurse demonstrated that teambuilding is important because it helps to provide better patient care by utilizing the expertise of the other disciplines and allowing collaborative efforts to resolve patient problems. Teambuilding also includes relationship building. As stated by the nurse midwife, she establishes a relationship with the labor nurses, which also enhances patient care. The particular care applied through these particular nursing practices, across the board, are direct patient-centered care with the exception of the infection control nurse. Her care is not directly with the patient, but her job effects the patient directly.
Abstract Margaret Newman’s theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness (HEC) is a theory in which a patient is looked as a whole. In this theory it explains how it is the nurse’s responsibility to connect with their patients and help to expand their consciousness. By having a trusting nurse-patient relationship, it will help patients achieve this goal. For the purpose of this paper an overview of Margaret Newman’s theory will be given, along with a rational as to why this writer chose Newman’s theory of HEC. A plan to implement this theory by having daily rounds will be explained, and barriers and challenges discussed.
Professional Roles & Values--Task 3 It is imperative that the FNP recognize her role to better meet the needs of the client. The nurse should meet with the FNP to explain the resources that are available at the clinic (ie: other staff members) During the meeting with the FNP the nurse should have policies on hand that have specifics of what the FNP should do in certain situations (ie: when to refer the patient to the high-risk clinic). The FNP needs to understand that while she is concerned about the patient it is her obligation to ensure the patient receives safe, quality care. When delegating the nurse is still accountable and responsible for the nursing practice. The nurse should ensure that when they delegate the person they are delegating to is competent enough for the task.
In order for a nurse to deliver patient focused care, they must first develop an effective nurse-patient relationship with the service users that they care for. This is important in order to ensure that the highest quality of care is provided to the patient. As, according to Sheldon (2009), a nurse-patient relationship is based upon the commitment of a nurse to work alongside their patient’s, in order to deliver personal and effective care which meets the identified health needs. Patient focused care involves the patient and nurse working together as a partnership and places the patient and their relatives central to decision making in regards to the planning, implementation and assessment of care. An equal nurse-patient relationship is important in order to ensure that safe, effective and personal health care is delivered and that the patients’ needs are appropriately met (The Health Foundation, 2012).
