Pakistan's healthcare system demands innovation. This opinion paper emphasizes the urgent need for simulation-based training in nursing. Simulation empowers nurses to make precise decisions and fosters teamwork and communication skills. Recognized by the International Council of Nurses and the American Nurses Association, the adoption of simulation promises cost reductions associated with medical errors. With limited adoption in Pakistan, this paper urges widespread implementation to boost nurse confidence and elevate healthcare standards.
This study delves into the critical issue of workplace violence against nurses, focusing on public sector tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. Nurses play an indispensable role in healthcare delivery as the backbone of patient care. However, they face the challenge of workplace violence, which poses a significant threat to their well-being and compromises patient care quality. This paper contributes to the existing knowledge of workplace violence in healthcare settings. Through a cross-sectional survey design, data was collected from 384 registered nurses with a minimum of six months of experience in the emergency department. The data was collected between September and October 2023. The study provides comprehensive insights into various aspects of workplace violence, including training, exposure to incidents, reporting, investigation, and support mechanisms. The findings reveal that while training in workplace violence prevention is provided, there is room for enhancement, as indicated by a positive skewness in the data. Moreover, a concerning prevalence of workplace violence incidents within the last 12 months was reported, emphasizing the urgency for comprehensive measures to address this issue. The study highlights the diverse nature of violence experienced by nurses, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions.
The initiation of Nursing Education Services (NES) at Khalifa Gul Nawaz Teaching Hospital, MTI Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is a project aimed at establishing a comprehensive nursing education program within the hospital. The primary objective is to enhance the quality of nursing education and training in the region, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes. This project involves creating a dedicated Nursing Education Services department responsible for designing and implementing a robust nursing education curriculum and providing continuous professional development opportunities for nursing staff. The curriculum will cover clinical skills, patient- centered care, and professional development, aligning with the latest evidence-based practices and national nursing education standards.
This paper supports Transformational Leadership (TL) and will present arguments regarding its importance in today's rapidly evolving world. The necessity for TL will be explored with support from both global and local literature. Additionally, this paper will examine the connection between TL and its significance in nursing, with a particular focus on the Pakistani context. Initially, the paper will provide a general overview of TL and its importance. It will then delve into specific examples and case studies that highlight the effectiveness of TL in various settings. By integrating empirical evidence and theoretical perspectives, the paper aims to demonstrate how TL fosters innovation, enhances organizational performance, and improves team dynamics. The discussion will also address the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing TL in the healthcare sector, particularly in Pakistan, where the need for strong leadership is critical to addressing the evolving demands of the healthcare system. Finally, recommendations will be offered for advancing TL practices within the nursing profession to better meet contemporary challenges and drive positive outcomes.
Most nurses are becoming increasingly frustrated and are suffering from various psychological conditions that lead to depression and stress within society. This is happening for many reasons, but this paper focuses on the "social image of nursing," the "culture and structure of bedside care," and the "burden on nurses." The issues of concern include the "social image of nursing" and the "culture and organization of bedside care," which are identified as contextual variables influencing nurses to leave bedside jobs. Disappointment with the therapy experience and a perceived lack of progress or development were the top psychosocial concerns. Steps were taken toward competence and self-control, but these factors, combined with interventional situations, resulted in a loss of professional dedication and a desire to leave bedside nursing. This reflects the "failure to reconcile personal and organizational expectations: on the lookout for an exit."
The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of cognitive stacking and provide a definition suitable for application to the nursing process. Mental problem-solving is an essential skill for nurses who must multitask in patient care settings. This concept analysis was conducted using eight stages of concept analysis. A review of the literature was performed using databases, and peer-reviewed journals were examined. The analysis resulted in an operational definition of cognitive stacking applicable to the nursing care environment. Cognitive stacking is a mental process that individuals use to manage tasks and set priorities based on ongoing and changing factors. The concept relies on several key attributes, including situational awareness, deliberate hierarchical labeling, continual reorganization, delegation, and communication. In nursing, these attributes can be applied in the clinical setting to ensure safe and high-quality patient care.
