Surgery Research Proposals Samples For Students

Introduction

Today’s society has set beauty standards by the appearance, such as face features and body, and divided others into the terms ‘beautiful’ or ‘ugly’, based on whether one’s appearance fits the standard or not. The standard of beauty has been set through various social implications, which makes the standard different by cultures and countries. We cannot, thus, define what exactly the meaning of ‘beautiful’ is. However, it is nearly the same for any culture and for any country that today’s society judges others by the appearance and treats differently. To achieve my research goal, I have ...

Do patients feel satisfied by the services from pre-operative to post-operative area?

Introduction
My desire and quest to determine whether patients are satisfied by the services provided by the hospital before and after surgery pushes me to plan to carry out a study that will give the answers. I will carry out a research in a health institution to find out whether the services are satisfactory or not. The services in both the pre and post-operative area will be my major concerns as I move around hospital collecting my data. First, as an introductory requirement, it is important to fully understand the nature pre-operative and post-operative activities and how to prepare patients for ...

The goal of therapies addressing weight loss is to decrease the risks for chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, but also to ultimately increase positive feelings of well-being from physical improvements. Significant weight loss is accompanied by both positive and negative emotions and if the decrease in body mass is accompanying by negative feelings, maintenance is difficult. Therefore, psychological aspects to weight loss programs are an important consideration when determining the success of the therapy. Previous research concerning the psychological aspects of significant weight loss has made ...

Developing starch based hemostatic products
Project summary.
Purpose: This proposal is envisioned to develop a hemostatic agent from purified plant starch. In this case, the product of the reaction should be developed by the formation of microporous hemosphere particles after etherification, esterification and crosslinking of glucose molecules to form ethyl propanetriol (glycerol-ether links (1-3 deoxy propanol)). The second intention of this study is to investigate the properties ...

Introduction

Therapies are usually designed to address the problems of weight loss that should lessen the risks for chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. In addition to this, many researchers happen to approve of the positive feelings and the improvement of wellbeing that physical therapies are able to provide (Bryan & Tiggemann, 2001, p.147). Significant weight loss is said to accompany both positive and negative emotions, and it is in this regard that psychological balance should be maintained to ensure success of the therapy. The aim ...

There is a growing need for the education of healthcare workers, for them to efficiently cover and treat wounds and prevent contamination.

For this, it is important to examine some evidences on the different treatment of wounds that are being used nowadays in healthcare. This is crucial for medical practitioner training, while providing opportunity for developing proficiencies with regards to proper wound care, which may avert undesired patient outcomes in hospitals.

INTRODUCTION

Every year, many lives are usually lost due to the spread of infections in the hospitals. Although all hospitals have infection control procedures and policies, the risk of infections seems to be impossible to completely eliminate. In the course of my clinical nursing experience, I have noted that these infections that are mostly picked up during a patients stay in the hospital mostly ranges from lung infections, urinary tract infections, Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and blood stream infections among many others (Amos & Waugh,2010). These are commonly known as hospital-acquired infections (HIA). In this paper, I will expound on the ...

Nurse leaders are responsible for continually improving the quality of care offered in the departments they head. One of the most effective ways of improving quality is through the incorporation of interdisciplinary teams in the delivery of health care services. The teams are made up of specialists in various fields who contribute specialized knowledge aimed at providing holistic care. I am a nurse leader in a women’s surgical unit. Although the unit functions well enough to meet the hospital standards, there are various challenges which if eliminated would improve the care offered in my unit drastically. One of these challenges ...

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

The paper that I wrote focused on the importance of wound care education, to help healthcare practitioners in providing efficient service in the treatment of wounds for the prevention of infection. Evidences ranged from the use of wound treatment in amputation, to the use of videos and telemedicine, especially since the professional medical continuing education has been changing rapidly nowadays. For this, Abeln & Pitassi (2012, p.164) stated that there should be frequent communication and teamwork between healthcare practitioners and the patients and their families. Kent (2010) even suggested the implementation ...

The eating disorders have been considered to be very complex condition that is necessitated by a variety of factors. These factors may be biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, social and emotional. It has not been established as to exactly what motivates this physical and emotionally damaging condition. This essay will seek to integrate psychological and marketing literature that is associated with eating disorders. There is strong evidence linking the use of models during advertising and the cases of eating disorders among young girls (Hesse-Biber, Leavy, Quinn, & Zoino, 2006).
It has been a widely held that eating disorders are as a result of psychiatric ...

When preparing a patient for surgery, the preoperative process mostly involves the removal of hair around the surgical site. Numerous studies have shown a direct relationship between surgical site infections and the removal of hair (Herbst, 2006, p9). However, this question is largely debatable on the basis of the most appropriate method of hair removal to be applied. Traditionally, shaving was the most common method of hair removal prior to a surgery (Ancheril, 2004). Conversely, after reviewing various medical journals on what would be the best preoperative method of hair removal that reduces the risk of surgical site infection, I came to a ...
