Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed data from Australian stroke patients (2014-2017), focusing on how communication support needs affect long-term outcomes like quality of life and mortality after a stroke.
- It found that many stroke patients (two-thirds) had communication support needs, with factors like age, stroke severity, and previous strokes increasing these needs.
- Improved communication skills post-rehabilitation were linked to fewer mobility and self-care issues, but patients needing support faced higher mortality rates within a year after a stroke.
Aim: The aim is to understand current research into the impact of undergraduate nursing education on the development of professional values.
Background: Values are evident in the professional standards for nurses and the guidelines and healthcare policies of many countries. These professional values guide decisions and behaviour and are recognised as an essential component in the professions ability to provide safe and professional care.
