This allows treatment to be proactive and timely. Implementation of these devices alters nursing care. The objective of this study was to describe the perceived barriers and facilitators, from the perspective of direct care providers in an inpatient clinical setting, when the plan of care includes a CGM device.Methods: Guided by a review of the literature and anecdotal data, a 20-item Likert scaled survey was developed. Once study approval was secured an invitational email was sent to the password protected emails of all potential participants. Frequency and descriptive analyses were used to analyze the responses.Results: Survey data from 31 direct care providers describe a positive experience specific to the education and resources available. The addition of a CGM device into the plan of care is not perceived to be an additional burden for the provider.Conclusions: Pre-implementation, appropriate education and exposure to the device is critical for providing confidence and trust. The availability of ongoing support ensures that care is enhanced when a CGM device is included in the plan of care.","PeriodicalId":72616,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nursing studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140481310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The UK is one of many healthcare systems competing for international nurses. Demonstrating how international nurses are supported with career progression can validate a healthcare systems employment offer.Methods: A mixed methods approach, comprising a quantitative analysis of career progression rates comparing domestic nurses and international nurses working in England between the dates 2014-2021; and qualitative interviews, exploring career progression of international nurses that have worked in the NHS for 5 years or more.Results: Data were collected on 611,912 nurses, including 496,741 domestic nurses (81.2%) and 115,171 international nurses (18.8% of all nurses). Progression from a Band 5 registered nurse happens less frequently and more slowly for international than for domestic nurses (median time to progress 5.8 years for domestic and 6.8 years for international); with less marked differences in frequency of progression from higher nurse bands. From 21 interviews, three themes emerged from the pre progression stage: (1) See me and know I can thrive; (2) Don’t overlook me; (3) Embrace Me as I learn; and three from the post-progression stage: (1) I have power to influence; (2) I can break down barriers; (3) I lead and inspire others. International nurses described characteristics of mettle, resilience and determination; with many demonstrating successes influencing change.Conclusions: The presence of international nurses in leadership and as role models can benefit career progression. Through empowerment and representation, following succession, international nurses are inspiring role models to enable opportunities for career progression for future generations.","PeriodicalId":72616,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nursing studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135366245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another purpose was to describe the professionals’ educational needs regarding mental health problems of secondary school pupils. The study aimed at producing information that can promote the detection of mental health problems and facilitate early interventions in secondary schools. The information collected came from the professionals only, not from the pupils or their parents.Methods: Data were collected in Finland using a Webropol online survey and analyzed by inductive content analysis.Results: According to the results, secondary school pupils’ mental health problems are associated with physical and psychosocial stressors, and with stressors pertaining to learning and studying, lifestyle, family, friend relationships and socioeconomic factors. In addition, the pupils’ mental health problems are associated with stressors pertaining to social media. Professionals working at secondary schools need education on how to identify pupils’ mental health problems, how to take up the concern with the pupil and parents, and how to support and counsel youth with a mental health problem.Conclusions: Although information packages, recommendations, materials and tools are available, encouragement and more specific and concrete mental health education for both pupils and professionals is required. New structures and practices, and possibly re-allocation of resources, may be necessary. The teachers’ role in mental health promotion and prevention of mental health problems should be supported and resourced more effectively. Psychiatric nurses should be employed at schools.","PeriodicalId":72616,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nursing studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46548284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: According to the students, the attractiveness of nursing is decreased because nursing is not adequately appreciated, the resources and salary do not match the workload, the working atmosphere can be detrimental to psychological well-being, and there is frequently little support from nurse leaders. Factors that could increase the profession’s attractiveness involve advancing nursing’s role at the level of individuals, organizations, and society; meaningfulness of nursing duties, influencing one’s work; better working conditions and well-being at work; development of nursing leadership; and work and career advancement. Students suggest promoting marketing and the appreciation of nursing, developing leadership and the theoretical and practical competence of supervisors, promoting nurses’ daily coping and well-being at work, and raising salaries.Conclusions: The status and image of nursing must be addressed at the level of individuals, organizations, and society, both nationally and internationally. Nurses themselves must appreciate their profession and feel that they have a possibility to advance their careers.","PeriodicalId":72616,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nursing studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46768337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The APRN conducted a physical exam and history, obtained wound photography, developed a treatment plan, performed therapy, wrote orders for products and services, and provided a minimum of weekly follow-up visits. Healthcare utilization comprised time for healing, admits to a higher level of care, and amputations. Wound resolution was observed at 80% and 100% closure.Results: The Intervention and Control Groups were comparable in terms of gender, wound type, age, and acuity, were similar regarding wounds per patient. Both groups achieved 80% volume, 80% area, and 100% wound resolution, regardless of wound types. The Intervention Group’s days to wound resolution was statistically significant for fewer days than the Control Group. This difference persisted after analysis of wound types within the groups. The Intervention Group had fewer acute care admits (10%) compared to the Control Group (50%), and the number of amputations was higher in the Control Group, with six amputations compared to only one in the Intervention Group.Conclusions: Using APRNs with wound specialization improved patient outcomes, efficiency, and costs. The program should be evaluated for adoption and expansion. Further research into the impact of wound-specialized APRNs in the home setting is recommended.","PeriodicalId":72616,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nursing studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46613656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
