It postulates a central position for narrative in meaning making processes. Three social functions are discerned in the use of narrative. A narrative model deduced from the metaphor of the spinning top is proposed to be used by professionals in their contact with patients. It is been argued that there is a need for a context sensitive evidence-based practice in which circularity plays an important role. The context is found in the lifeworld, especially social interaction and the life story. Circularity is based on the recognition that both patients and professionals are agents who interact and that there should be reciprocity to some degree in order to realize a fruitful and therapeutic treatment outcome.","PeriodicalId":92236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community & public health nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2471-9846.1000188","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43114664","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}

Faculty should consider the diverse learning needs of their students when planning courses and clinical experiences. As evidence-based practice guides health care, so should it guide nursing educators when selecting teaching and learning activities.

According to the latest WHO data published in April 2011 Diabetes Mellitus Deaths in Saudi Arabia reached 5,870 or 6.74% of total deaths. The impact of the disease on the patient, family and the community psychologically and physically is staggering. So I selected this study, to Assess The knowledge regarding self administration of insulin injection among diabetes mellitus patients in diabetic clinic of primary health centre, with the objectives to assess the knowledge of diabetes mellitus patients regarding self-administration of insulin injection and to find the association between the knowledge and selected demographic variables. The hypothesis will be tested at 0.05 level of significance. There will be significant association between levels of knowledge with selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework for this study was based on Orem's self-care model each individual has an innate ability to care for oneself, it is a theoretical model which values individual responsibility and believes in health education as key aspect of nursing intervention. This study is aimed at assessing the knowledge on self-administration of insulin injection among diabetes mellitus patients. The study was conducted in diabetes mellitus patient in diabetic clinic of Primary Health Centre, Alnamas. 20 diabetes mellitus patient on insulin therapy were selected by convenient sampling method. Researcher's convenience and familiarity with settings were added reason. The tools used for data collection is a structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge of the diabetes mellitus patients regarding selfadministration of insulin injection. The study reveals that 12 participants (60%) are having good knowledge regarding self-administration of insulin injection, 6 participants (30%) are having average knowledge regarding selfadministration of insulin injection and 2 participants (10%) are having poor knowledge regarding self-administration of insulin injection.","PeriodicalId":92236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community & public health nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2471-9846.1000183","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47325344","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}

This systematic review assessed the evidence for the feasibility of performing lifestyle interventions in CRC patients and evaluated any short- and long-term health benefits. Methods Using PRISMA Guidelines, selected keywords identified randomised controlled studies (RCTs) of lifestyle interventions [smoking, alcohol, physical activity (PA) and diet/excess body weight] in CRC patients. These electronic databases were searched in June 2015: Dynamed, Cochrane Database, OVID MEDLINE, OVID EMBASE, and PEDro. Results Fourteen RCTs were identified: PA RCTs ( n = 10) consisted mainly of telephone-prompted walking or cycling interventions of varied durations, predominately in adjuvant setting; dietary/excess weight interventions RCTs ( n = 4) focused on low-fat and/or high-fibre diets within a multimodal lifestyle intervention. There were no reported RCTs in smoking or alcohol cessation/reduction. PA and/or die-tary/excess weight interventions reported variable recruitment rates, but good adherence and retention/follow-up rates, leading to short-term improvements in dietary quality, physical, psychological and quality-of-life parameters. Only one study assessed long-term follow-up, finding significantly improved cancer-specific survival after dietary intervention. Conclusions This is the first systematic review on lifestyle interventions in patients with CRC finding these interventions to be feasible with improvements in short-term health. Future work should focus on defining the optimal type of intervention (type, duration, timing and intensity) that not only leads to improved short-term outcomes but also assesses long-term survival. randomised factors, overall","PeriodicalId":92236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community & public health nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2471-9846.1000181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48256515","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}
