Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that significantly impacts patients' quality of life (QoL), with psychosocial factors still not fully understood in this context.
- A study involving 139 schizophrenia patients examined how demographics, treatment adherence, and psychosocial aspects like self-esteem and social support influence QoL, revealing that younger patients and those with more hospitalizations tend to have poorer QoL.
- The findings suggest that regularly assessing psychosocial factors and addressing them through tailored interventions could potentially enhance the QoL of individuals with schizophrenia.
Objectives: The current project aimed to improve the quality of health care by promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) regarding mental health care planning (MHCP) for adult inpatients.
Introduction: The implementation of the best evidence in the process of developing and documenting nursing care plans is currently an important legal requirement that contributes to increasing the quality of care.
Methods: This implementation project was based on the JBI evidence implementation approach and included a baseline audit of seven criteria, implementation of strategies, and a follow-up audit.
Objectives: The aim of this implementation project was to promote evidence-based practices regarding hospital-acquired pressure injuries prevention practices among immobilized adult patients in a mental health department and to measure the level of compliance with the best practice in this field.
Introduction: Pressure injuries can have significant restrictions on the patient's quality of life; affect the patient physically, psychologically, and socially; lead to increased costs and length of hospital stay; and are closely linked to increased mortality. Thus, the best evidence practice implementation project was conducted in the mental health ward of a large teaching hospital in Bucharest.
