RUNNING HEAD: Nursing Knowledge Resources Abstract Fitzpatrick suggests that there are two ways of knowing: through synthesis of information and through scientific process (2005). In the continuing evolution of the practice of nursing, peer-reviewed and evidenced-based resources are extremely important to the bedside practitioner. This paper will investigate Sigma Theta Tau International, a major nursing resource organization. Founded in 1922 at Indiana University School of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International is the second largest nursing organization in the world. (www.NursingSociety.org, 2007) According to their website, the name of the organization was based upon the Greek words for love, courage and honor (para.
A Critical Analysis of application and development of a range of nursing skills M.Sc (Adult Nursing)Sept. 2011Cohort Module :Nursing Theory to Practice 19th Dec. 2011 Word Count: 5071 Contents Background...................................................................................... 2 Aims & Objectives............................................................................. 3 Blood Pressure.................................................................................. 3 Pressure Ulcer Prevention................................................................ 9 Hand Hygiene.................................................................................... 12 Conclusion........................................................................................ 15 References..........................................................................................16 Background : The phrase “theory of nursing” constitutes both the medical and nursing scientific knowledge and fundamental principles of care and treatment that are acquired by a nursing student, largely in a nursing school and on the job training (Benner et al, 2009). This theory and practice together constitutes the essential nursing skills (Docherty & McCallum, 2009). The term scientific knowledge is self explanatory and “draws on the basic sciences of biochemical, physical and biological processes and research and development of specific therapies and technologies” (Benner et al, 2009 pp1).This forms the basis of evidence- based knowledge. The incorporation of evidence- based approach into practice is important to improve patient outcomes (Penz & Bassendowski, 2006). Heater et al (1998) cited in Penz & Bassendowski (2006) reported significant improvements in clinical, behaviour and psychsocial outcomes when
The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health http://www.nap.edu/catalog/12956.html This paper is excerpted from Appendix I of The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine, 2011). I The Future of Nursing Education1 Edited by Linda R. Cronenwett, Ph.D, R.N., FAAN University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS “Learn the past, watch the present, and create the future.” In October 2009, Don Berwick and I were out of the country when we received invitations from Susan Hassmiller to co-author a background paper on the future of nursing education for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Institute of Medicine (RWJF/IOM) Committee on the Future of Nursing. Initial conversations led to long lists of potential topics to be covered. Inevitably, we kept coming back to the question: What would be useful to committee members who deserved a base for their deliberations that was focused and helpful? In the end, we decided that detailed descriptions of the current challenges and recommendations for the future of nursing education from two people were not the answer.
