Aims: To evaluate the evidence-based practice (EBP) competency levels of clinical instructors and their role in promoting a safety climate for nursing students.
Background: Establishing a safety climate in nursing education is vital, particularly during clinical training. However, the contributions of clinical instructors to this environment remain underexplored.
Aims: The aim of the study was to explore the knowledge and unmet informational needs of candidates for left ventricular assist device (LVAD), as well as of patients, caregivers, and family members, by analysing social media data from the MyLVAD.com website.
Methods And Results: A qualitative content analysis method was employed, systematically examining and categorizing forum posts and comments published on the MyLVAD.
Background: Studies of missed nursing care suggest that it results from ward-level, patient-related, and task-type factors, while nurses' decision-making style was scarcely studied. Studying the effect of nurses' decision-preference structures, namely a pattern of joint ward and patient factors, on missed care may also contribute to understanding the phenomenon.
Objectives: To examine the relationships between decision-preference structures and missed care and the moderating effects of decision-making styles and task type in these links.
Aim: To explore nurses' experiences with work interruptions (WIs) through the lens of missed nursing care (MNC).
Design: A qualitative descriptive design.
Methods: Eleven small focus groups involving 34 nurses (three nurses per group on average) from acute-care hospital wards were conducted.
Aims: To explore nurses' perspectives regarding the decision-making processes that lead to missed nursing care and to identify the personal and contextual attributes involved in these processes.
Design: A qualitative study was undertaken between April - October 2018.
Methods: A total of 28 registered nurses working in different wards in hospital settings participated in nine focus groups with semi-structured interviews.
Aims: To test a model that suggests the ward's climate of service facilitates nurses' patient-centred care behaviours through its effect on nurses' work engagement.
Background: Organizational efforts to promote patient-centred care focused on interventions aimed to improve nurses' communication skills, or to improve patient's participation in the decision-making process. These interventions have been only partially successful, as they do not take the ward context into account; so caring professionals who attend workshops can rarely apply their newly acquired skills due to the daily pressures of the ward.
