The effectiveness of Function Focused Care among patients acutely admitted to hospital: A stepped wedge cluster trial.

Background: During acute hospital admission, patients often experience loss of functional status. A low level of physical activity is associated with higher levels of loss of functional status. Stimulating physical activity to maintain functional status is considered essential nursing care.

Practice variation in home care nursing: mapping potential explanations through a scoping review of the literature.

Needs assessment is the starting point of good home care as it determines which care is necessary, based on the needs of patients, their personal situation, and social context. There are indications that practice variation in needs assessment exists among home care nurses. However, little is known about potential explanations for this variation.

Exploring the barriers, facilitators and needs to use patient outcomes in district nursing care: A multi-method qualitative study.

Aim And Objectives: To provide an in-depth insight into the barriers, facilitators and needs of district nurses and nurse assistants on using patient outcomes in district nursing care.

Background: As healthcare demands grow, particularly in district nursing, there is a significant need to understand how to systematically measure and improve patient outcomes in this setting. Further investigation is needed to identify the barriers and facilitators for effective implementation.

Evaluating the introduction of positive health on the amount of received home care among older patients: A pre-post study.

Background: The increasing demand for home care services can be attributed to demographic shifts. Positive Health can be defined as the capacity to adapt and promote self-reliance in social, physical, and emotional challenges.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the influence of introducing Positive Health on the amount of home care nursing for older patients, measured in minutes per week over a six-week period.

Interventions to reduce interpersonal stigma towards patients with a mental dysregulation for ambulance and emergency department healthcare professionals: review protocol for an integrative review.

Introduction: Worldwide, there is an increase in the extent and severity of mental illness. Exacerbation of somatic complaints in this group of people can result in recurring ambulance and emergency department care. The care of patients with a mental dysregulation (ie, experiencing a mental health problem and disproportionate feelings like fear, anger, sadness or confusion, possibly with associated behaviours) can be complex and challenging in the emergency care context, possibly evoking a wide variety of feelings, ranging from worry or pity to annoyance and frustration in emergency care staff members.
