In this article, an analysis over the conduct of evidence-based practice is studied as a working strategy for relevant applied knowledge in the functional fields of learning and practice. The obvious concerns consist over the reliability and validity check of the evidence - based practice over the objection of the impact of the humanitarian aspect. Instead, we suggest that Praxis-based knowledge informed by different forms of knowledge is a better option, with a ...

Achieving of higher levels of education and training for nurses.

In the healthcare practice there are various groups of professionals who work together to ensure efficient delivery of services to the patients, they include the nurses, physicians among other health care professionals. They all work together to come up with ideas on what clinical practices issues should be considered in an organizations systematic agenda. According to a report by the Institute of Medicine (2013), some of the key practices recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) are;
- Registered Nurses (RNs) should practice to the full extent of their education and training there should be no constraint on their ...

Nurses face unique stresses and circumstances at the workplaces which lead to high nurses’ turnover. As at 2008, the nursing turnover stood at 55% to 60%, a feature attributed to poor nursing leadership that did not offer support to the nurses, outrageous working demands and poor relations amongst the nurses. To cater for these deficiencies, human capital strategies and leadership training need to be promoted so as to create a positive working environment that reflects the demands of the nursing practicum. The leadership training strategies should encourage the development of a positive working environment by equipping them with knowledge and skills on ...

INTO PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Every profession entails a certain degree of competence, expertise and professionalism for a professional to cope with and attain in order for this professional to be considered “competent” and “professional” in the practice of his profession. This level of competence and professionalism may be associated or correlated to the professional’s academic preparation, years of professional experience and degree of technical competence and expertise in carrying out skills necessary in the practice of the profession. In the nursing profession, the levels of competence and professional expertise can be summarized sequentially in the following stages: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert ( ...

Background information

Critical thinking is one of most highly valued educational outcomes in the professional education of healthcare professionals. Educationalists tend to emphasize the importance of teaching future healthcare professionals how to think, rather than the need to improve the contents of curricula. This view stems from the fact that the nursing process is highly concerned with problem-solving and decision-making-related activity that requires acquisition and continuous improvement of related skills (Yilldrim, Ozkahraman &Karabudak, 2011, p.174) As nursing education is directly related to critical thinking theory, tparticularly the development of these skills is essential for curricula in nursing educational instituions (Yilldrim&Ozkahraman, 2011, ...

Sneakers are perceived to have the darkest history in the footwear industry. Particularly because sneaker designs that were manufactured and invented many years ago have gained favour in the modern day, particularly the platform sneakers (Schiavone, 2014). With the modern day trends regarding sneakers, it is imperative to note that the manufacture of the differing sneaker designs is continually instigated each and every year. With this rate, it is becoming increasingly difficult to establish a design that will be launched subsequently. The aforementioned makes it even harder for one to establish the stance of sneaker products in the coming 20 ...

Communication is a key skill that leads to the translation of research evidence into practice. Constructive feedback is an evidence-based strategy of communicating observations about a staff member’s behaviors. It entails focusing on the behavior and not the person, stating observations rather than judgments, and working out with the staff how to communicate more effectively (Duffy, 2013). In the course of my field ...

Measures of effects can be explained to being the indexes that normally summarize the strength of the link between various exposures and their specific outcomes thus helping the medical practitioner make effective decisions in their everyday practice (Rothman, Greenland & Lash, 2008, p.72). In the nursing practice, the measure of effects strategy is an imperative approach that helps the nurse in knowing not only whether a certain exposure such as smoking can be linked to a certain outcome such as myocardial infarction, but also determining the magnitude of this relationship.
Enormous risks would be posed to the patients if the use ...

The capacity for evidence-based project implementation, evaluation, and dissemination as well as for research and nurse leadership improves with continued practice. Learning from practice is espoused by Kolb’s theory of experiential learning summed up as “constructing knowledge and meaning from real-life experience” (Yardley, Teunissen & Dorman, 2012, p. 161). Such learning is possible by engaging in reflection with the purpose of drawing insights that will enhance future practice. Without reflection, there is very little chance of rectifying prior mistakes or addressing weaknesses. Thus, self-reflection is one strategy that I will use to further my professional development goals.

These practices include tantric visualization, mind awareness, and calming relaxation. In many spiritual traditions, it is said that in times of great difficulty and adversity, people have the most potential. Adversity offers a perfect opportunity for attaining enlightenment, but difficult times do not always lead to enlightenment. In fact, when things get really difficult, it leads to a big mess and a lot of neurosis. This is because people get squeezed.

Introduction

Among the recent sports supplements that has created skepticism, enthusiasm, interest and promise is creatine. It has become one of the most popular nutritional complements because of its ability to improve short-range exercise performance and increase the strength of muscles. Even though many sports people have experienced good results with creatine, many others blame it for dangerous physiologic changes. Among the changes that it causes are liver damage, weight gain, renal stress, muscle cramping and muscle tensions.
Most studies that have investigated ergogenic benefit of creatine reports increase in power and strength, sprint performance and work performed during ...

A scholarship presents nurses with the opportunity to observe, analyze, and synthesize practice knowledge as well as to test theories and procedures learned. A Scholarship leads to a new understanding of nursing phenomena.

Impacts of the implementation of a mentoring program that utilizes essential elements of effective mentoring on the level of job satisfaction and retention of faculty in a school of nursing
Research has revealed that the reasons that might cause nurses to abandon nursing practice and education could include inadequacy, feelings of stress, anxiety, disempowerment resulting from horizontal violence, and oppression (Rhodes, 2012). Other factors could also include general apathy with regard to collegial support, low morale, reduced resources, heavier workloads as well as higher patient insight. This research describes the responsibility of a mentorship program as one that assists others to ...

Fawcett and Garity’s (2009) definitions of knowledge, research, and evidence-based practice align with my own understanding of the said terms or concepts. As Fawcett and Garity (2009) asserted, research is the conduct of a search, inquiry, or investigation, with the aim of discovering something. Research then leads to the formulation of theories, and although theories are not always true, they help form knowledge, which then leads to the development of evidence-based practice. More specifically, knowledge refers to everything that is known about something (Fawcett & Garity, 2009) while theory refers to the “ ...

According to the World Health Organization (2006), quality in the context of health care is characterized as health care that is effective (i.e. evidence-based); efficient (i.e. maximized resources); accessible (i.e. timely, geographically reasonable, and competent); acceptable or patient-centered (i.e., considerate of the patients’ preferences and cultural differences); equitable (i.e. delivery of the same level of care regardless of the patient’s background); and safe (i.e. minimized patient risk and harm).
In an effort by the National Quality Forum (NQF) to measure and improve the quality of nursing care, the NDNQI (National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators ) was developed ( ...

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.

Within Shirley Jackson’s short story, “The Lottery,” there are many underlying themes that raise questions about unexamined assumptions in modern society. One of these unexamined assumptions is the characteristics of human nature found within the characters in the story. Within the story, the villagers are all willing to accept the meaningless and harmful tradition of the Lottery because it is just part of their society. None of the villagers are willing to speak out against this tradition because they want to fit in. This shows the readers that within this story Jackson reveals that a characteristic of human nature ...

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. A number of different research studies will be considered, ...

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 ...
