Elements of a recognised framework by Cormack (2000) will be used as a guideline through the critique process. Critique is defined by Polit et al (2000) as a careful critical appraisal of the strengths and limitations of a piece of research. They state that a written critique should serve as a guide to researchers and practitioners, and should help to advance a particular area of knowledge. The critique should also help those who are practising nursing, to decide how the findings from a study can be best incorporated into practice (Nieswiadomy, 2002). Knapp (1998) points out that if research is to provide convincing evidence on which to base practice, it must be capable of withstanding scrutiny regarding the quality and relevance of the researchers work.

Framework for Praxis: Neonatal Nurse Practitioner The concept of praxis, or “the practical application of theory”, has redefined the relationship between nursing theory and nursing knowledge (Praxis, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to assist this nursing scholar in developing a framework of praxis for her future role of an advanced practitioner specializing in neonatal care. First, this nursing scholar will introduce the concept of praxis, discuss the benefits of praxis to nursing, and explore the role of praxis in developing nursing knowledge. Next, an overview of the role of neonatal nurse practitioners will be provided. Then, this scholar will identify the ideological, theoretical, and ethical elements that both influence and contribute to the development of a neonatal nurse practitioner framework for praxis.
Pharmacist-led telehealth disease management in patients with diabetes and depression. Junior Investigator: Lisa B. Cohen Senior Investigator: Paul A. Pirragilia, M.D. Abstract Rationale: There is a high prevalence of major depression and significant depressive symptoms in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Co-morbid depression in diabetes results in decreased adherence to diabetes self-care and attenuates the effects of medical interventions.

Based on these two premise, communication in nursing focuses on attending, listening, intervening and exploring the contents of information while observing the feelings of the patient (Arnold and Boggs, 2009, pp37-38). This piece of work will evaluate different aspects of my own learning; focusing on the importance of good communication and its influence in clinical practice. Throughout the essay, the significance of different communication skills will be explored. The essay will also evaluate different aspects of personal and professional values and their relevance in clinical practice. References will be made to some health related legislations such as; The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct, Care Quality Commission (CQC), Francis Report, Department of Health (DoH), The National Health Service (NHS) constitution and the fundamental values of care (Six C’s).
