Abstract

Polio is one of the serious fatal diseases which is pervading rapidly in Pakistan. It has become one of the major health issues in Pakistan. Though, the vaccines are available to prevent polio, the cultural and religious belief of the people in Pakistan is a big hindrance in the way towards polio-free Pakistan. As a result of which, more children are victimized by polio in Pakistan. Therefore, it is crucial to make efforts to prevent polio cases in the children by addressing the causes and offering acceptable solutions to work on.

Abstract

Nursing staff retention is an important issue requiring intervention on all levels of hospital management. High nursing staff turnover has immense financial implication on health care organizations as training a novice nurse is more expensive than operating a hospital on experienced personnel. Nursing leadership is a pioneer of development and progression in health care organization. The leadership styles employed by the hospital nursing management have great implications over the nursing staff turnover and retention.

Abstract

Cardiac Catheterization is one of the procedures for the diagnosis of coronary artery diseases. Nurses play an important role in taking care of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization and safety is the prime concern of nurses. A methodological study was conducted in Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Cardiology Units of Advance Cardiac Centre in a tertiary care hospital of north India during the year 2011-12 to develop a valid and reliable Nursing Checklist in order to ensure safety for patients undergoing Cardiac Catheterization and evaluate its usability. Cardiac Catheterization Nursing Checklist (CCNC) was developed in five phases. In the first preliminary phase, a rough draft of 90-items was prepared. During second phase, content validation was done by 9 experts using three rounds of Delphi technique. In the third phase, a pilot study was conducted on 5 subjects to check its feasibility. Checklist was modified based on findings of pilot study, and again content was validated by 9 experts using fourth round of Delphi technique. During fourth phase, checklist was administered on 40 subjects by two observers to check Inter-rater reliability. In the final phase, checklist was administered on 60 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization to check its internal consistency and construct validation. To evaluate usability of checklist, opinion of all staff including doctors and nurses working in the Cardiac units (N=15) was sought by using 5-items opinionnaire. The statistics such as Cohen's Kappa coefficient, Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis, item total correlation was applied to check its reliability and validity. Usability of checklist was measured by calculating mean score and agreement percentage. The item total correlation coefficient ranged from 0.45 to 0.95. Six factors under three dimensions (CCNC-92 items) were singled out after factor analysis. Correlations between different factors were partially confirmed showing convergent validity. Overall reliability/internal consistency (Cronbach's α) of the CCNC was found 0.88, varied from 0.60-0.88. Mean score of staff regarding usability of checklist was 3.6 with average agreement of 73%. Results of the study demonstrated that CCNC is a multidimensional, valid and reliable tool. It can be used in day to day clinical practice to ensure safety for patients undergoing Cardiac Catheterization in a tertiary care hospital. Further studies need to be conducted on a large sample in different settings for generalization.

Abstract

In this modern era, health care has become more and more complex globally. Among all the health care providers, nurses and physicians are most likely to suffer from physical and emotional stress due to complex nature of job in the health care setting. This paper has highlighted the most probable factors of stress among nurses, and proposed some strategies by incorporating leadership and management theory in order to support recommendations at national and international level. Stress among nurses ultimately leads to burnout, which does not only affect their physical and psychological aspects of health but also organizational productivity and outcomes. Moreover, stress is the main leading cause of many other organizational issues including, lack of motivation, turnover, absenteeism, and so on.

Abstract

Value clarification through self-awareness is one of the essential components for nurses to maintain a therapeutic relationship with their clients. This paper explores an issue related to nurses' value conflict that hinders therapeutic communication and nurse-patient relationship with mentally-ill patients. This paper presents a case scenario of a mentally-ill client who suffered from the judgmental attitude of the nurse due to nurse's value conflict, lack of acceptance, lack of respect and unnecessary intrusion in client's personal boundary. Thus, a therapeutic nurse-client relationship can be initiated and maintained if nurses' reflect critically, clarify their values and use therapeutic communication skills. Some of the therapeutic techniques is used like developing empathy, accepting, respecting the way the client is, may enhance the nurses' interaction with their clients and may help in promoting their mental health. Finally this paper concludes key learning from the scenario by recommending some strategies to overcome this issue at individual, institutional and national level.
