While caring for children with DD (developmental disabilities) can in some ways be rewarding (Benson, 2010, p. 218), it can also be extremely stressful. For both parents and professional caregivers, stress is a very common part of dealing with children with ID (intellectual disabilities) or ASD (autism spectrum disorders) (Mills & Rose, 2011, p. 846). One consequence of this kind of stress is a possibility of caregiver burnout. The following paper will examine the concept of "mindfulness" as it can be applied to professional and parental care for children with DD.

You should note that there is no basic approach to creating an emotionally healthy workplace. Accomplishment of this goal is based, in part, in addressing the problems unique to the organization and drawing awareness to programs and insurance policies to meet their employee’s needs. One problem in the workplace is stress. This may ...

Moreover, employee satisfaction and dedication is contingent on a number of closely related variables such as, employee engagement, empowerment, the perceived (organizational) support structures as well as the organization’s commitment to employee welfare. Employees feel empowered when they have more opportunities for interacting with colleagues, a certain level of decision making authority and are accorded a fair ...

The intended outcomes of the project were increases in staff nurse recruitment and retention and staff nurse job satisfaction. Retention rate is the number of nurses who separated from the correctional facility divided by the total number of registered nursing staff, while job satisfaction is the score obtained from a job satisfaction survey. The effects of the mentorship program on the selected outcomes are best determined at six months or one year after implementation. Following the evaluation conducted three months after the implementation, however, the retention rate increased by 1.6% which is small but still an improvement. There were also ...

Nursing Staff Skill Mix-Literature Review

James Buchan and Mario R. Dal Po (2002) contend after researching nursing staff skill mix that solid evidence suggests that utilizing less qualified staff is not applicable to every health care setting because it can ultimately compromise care quality (Buchan & Dal Po, 2002). However, there is substantial evidence where by increasing the use of care assistants helped organizations to function more efficiently. Importantly, doctor–nurse overlap assessment revealed where it extends the potential for organizations to explore manipulating nursing staff skill mix to its fullest. Essentially, nursing staff skill mix is still in its virgin stages. As such, organizations ...

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study
One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...

Introduction

Healthcare professionals have differed on the size of adequate nursing in hospitals. Research has clearly revealed that staffing of nurses has a direct effect on quality care. Quality care, on the other hand, influences patient satisfaction and recovery. Studies show that adequate nursing promotes quality care which in turn increases the rate of recovery in hospitals. Evidence-based practices reveal that as a result of low staffing levels, patient recovery has become poor with increased cases of shock and bleeding. The same evidence reports that patients recover at a faster rate when quality care is readily available due to proper staffing. Moreover, effective ...
