  • Nursing Research: Challenges
    NURSING RESEARCH: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED BY OPARA HOPE CHIZOLUM AT GLOBAL RESEARCH NURSES WORKSHOP 24th and 25th May 2021 NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL, NNEWI OUTLINE FOR THE PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION WHAT IS NURSING RESEARCH? IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH TO NURSING WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES? CHALLENGES FACED BY NURSE RESEARCHERS WAY FORWARD CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION Research is a way of thinking: examining critically the various aspects of your day-to-day work; understanding and formulating guiding principles that govern a procedure; and developing and, testing new theories that contribute to the advancement of your practice and profession (Odunze, 2019). It is a habit of questioning what you do, and a systematic examination of clinical observations to explain and find answers for what you perceive, with a view to instituting appropriate changes for a more effective professional service (Kumar et al, 2016) Today’s healthcare system is complex, and patients have increasingly varied needs. Developing solutions for the health issues of diverse populations requires providers with many different perspectives (National Institute of Nursing Research, 2016). Nurses provide direct care to their patients on a daily basis, so they know which approaches work well and which need adjusting. Nursing concerns are the heart of nursing research. even when nurses want to improve care through research findings, several barriers have hindered the progress. WHAT IS NURSING RESEARCH? Nursing research is research that provides a body of knowledge and evidence used to support nursing practices (the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2016) . Evidence-based practice requires using research outcomes to drive clinical decisions and care.

The universal requirement for quality patient care, internal control, efficiency and cost containment, has made it imperative to express nursing knowledge in a meaningful way that can be shared across disciplines and care settings. The documentation of nursing care, using an electronic health record, demonstrates the impact of nursing care on patient care and validates the significance of nursing practice.

Cert.HRM VICE PRESIDENT, NRSI Joint Director, MIMS Academy & Principal, MIMS College of Nursing, Puthukode, Malappuram Dt.Kerala ENDORSED BY: NRSI EXECUTIVES NURSING RESEARCH SOCIETY OF INDIA ESTABLISHED IN THE YEAR 1982. OCTOBER, 2016 HALDWANI 2 THE SPIRIT OF PROFESSIONAL GUIDELINES FOR NURSING RESEARCH IN INDIA Practice as a nurse is based upon a relationship of mutual trust between patients and health care practitioners. Nursing, a service profession demands much dedication. The promise or the commitment the nurse made to the public upon graduation through the oath to provide compassionate humanistic care with sound professional and ethical principles in their practice. This means that nurse is committed to the society and the service provided is a moral enterprise. Nurse, being a professional has the moral responsibility to develop health care practices that are affordable, and cost effective state of the art interventions. For developing such knowledge, the nurse is committed to conduct research. Evidences created by good quality research only will yield scientific knowledge. The nurse is destined to follow the moral and ethical principles along with scientific vigor while conducting research. Nursing Research Society of India takes it as a privilege to submit such guidelines to fellow nurses as the only organizations for nurse researchers in India. 3 Table of contents 1. Preamble 2.

Findings revealed that this group of nursing students believed (Licensed Practical Nurse) LPN’s were not respected, that their nursing knowledge as LPN’s was not acknowledged and that it was challenging for them to feel a sense of belonging with the RN community. These insights have implications for practicing (Registered Nurse) RN’s as student nurse groups are now including more Licensed Practical Nurses. Responding with reflection, communication and collegiality can offer important help to LPN to RN students.

  • Assessment of Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Workload in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
    Running head: NNP WORKLOAD IN A LEVEL IV NICU 1 Assessment of Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Workload in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit DNP Final Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Nursing Practice in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Carol Buck Jaeger, MS, RN, NNP-BC Graduate Program in Nursing The Ohio State University 2015 DNP Project Committee: Thelma Patrick, PhD, Advisor Joyce Zurmehly, PhD, DNP Jacalyn Buck, PhD, RN NNP WORKLOAD IN A LEVEL IV NICU 2 Abstract The neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP) is a direct care provider in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), with responsibilities for patient care management and supervision of physician fellows and residents, and monitoring the care activities performed by the nurse with the patient and family. In recent years, regulations have been set in place to limit the number of patients for whom a resident should provide care. This has resulted in more neonates left to the care of the NNP, and fellows who have less clinical experience than was true in the past. There are no standards or processes for determining the assignments of the NNP, and assignments seldom account for the acuity of the patients. The purpose of this DNP Final Project was to describe the assignment patterns of the NNPs in a 59-bed level IV NICU in a freestanding academic children’s hospital located in the Midwest region of the United States. Twenty-five NNPs responded to an electronic survey at the end of each worked shift during the project period.

  • Interest in Advanced Practice Nursing in India Date Updated November 13, 2017 Nurses Are the Most Numerous of Health Care Providers in India
    Interest in Advanced Practice Nursing in India Date Updated November 13, 2017 Nurses are the most numerous of health care providers in India. India has 2 nurses and 0.725 physicians per 1000, with a globally typical concentration in urban areas leading to limited health care access in rural settings (WHO, 2016). India prepares a significant number of physicians and nurses and in that context the shortage of health care providers is interesting to consider (Prasanth, 2017; Sharma, 2015). The nurse practitioner role to date has not been formally recognized and no national statistics are available. Initiatives by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) are underway to implement education programs for a formal nurse practitioner role (INC, 2016; Prasanth, 2017). Previous efforts to develop an independent nurse practitioner role were curtailed due to financial and infrastructure limitations. Endeavors to provide education to enable nurses to assume advanced roles at private institutions such as the Vellore Christian Medical College and Hospital while not widely adopted have been successful. Critical Mass There is current consideration of an independent nursing or nurse practitioner role in India from both the INC and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) (Prasanth, 2017). The INC has created a curriculum for a critical care NP role. According to the Indian Nursing Council (2016) the Critical Care Nurse Practitioner Program will be for BsC nurses to provide a higher level of care to critical patients to minimize sequelae an enhance full recover (INC, 2016). Criteria for schools of nursing have been set and application invited to offer the MSc degree for the critical care NP.
