Phase II: Longitudinal study of 100 ischemic stroke patients discharged to home. Methods: Telephone surveys were conducted at prescribed intervals posthospital discharge (Phase II). Surveys focused onmedication compliance, follow-up medical appointment compliance, and neurovascular emergency department (ED) visits/readmissions. Findings: Phase I trends included increased stroke performancemeasures compliance. Phase II favorable trends included increased medication compliance (>98%), increased follow-up appointments (100%), decreased rate of neurovascular ED visits/rehospitalizations (3%), and improvement in activities of daily living and quality of life measures through 12 months postdischarge. Conclusions: Stroke nurse navigation increased conformity of stroke performance measures and stroke patient discharge compliance through 12 months postdischarge.","PeriodicalId":94188,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses","volume":"37 1","pages":"E5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81581217","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}

METHODS Following the establishment of a nationwide therapeutic riding program for America's wounded service veterans in 2007, a Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse from the Michael E. DeBakey Veteran Affairs Medical Center worked with an incomplete spinal cord injured veteran who participated in the Horses for Heroes program. RESULTS This program resulted in many benefits for the veteran, including an increase in balance, muscle strength, and self-esteem. DISCUSSION A physical, psychological, and psychosocial benefit of therapeutic horseback riding is shown to have positive results for the spinal cord injured. Therapeutic riding is an emerging field where the horse is used as a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth, and learning. CONCLUSION Veterans returning from the Iraq/Afghanistan war with traumatic brain injuries, blast injuries, depression, traumatic amputations, and spinal cord injuries may benefit from this nurse-assisted therapy involving the horse.","PeriodicalId":94188,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses","volume":"54 97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84213554","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}

BACKGROUND Social care providers can reduce the risk for dysfunction in low-income families of preschoolers and increase resilience by responding to needs identified by the families themselves. Quality instruments developed to identify family needs within this population are scarce. To measure the needs of families with disabled children effectively, valid and reliable instruments that are sensitive to parents' expectations and to the constructs of nursing must be used. CONCLUSIONS Nine factors were detected in the results, Cronbach's α reliability coefficient was .95 and item-total point correlations were between .32-.81. In addition, it was found that the test-retest correlation value was .91, which was found to be statistically significant (p < .001). RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This scale can be used in nursing research projects to evaluate family needs regarding the care of children with a disability.","PeriodicalId":94188,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79445933","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}

Data obtained from individual audiotaped interviews with five men 60 to 70 years of age in northwestern Ohio were analyzed using Colaizzi's (1978) method. Specific self-care factors, possessed by all the men and responsible for facilitating and inhibiting adherence to cardiac therapy, were found within the components for self-care agency and basic conditioning factors. Identification of these factors is critical, as the completion of the requirements of the prescribed cardiac therapy regimen can assist persons in achieving maximal cardiac efficiency while promoting independence, which ultimately affects their self-care agency. This study makes valuable contributions by (a) becoming aware of factors that influence men's adherence to cardiac therapy, (b) offering direction for interventions focused on self-care, and (c) serving as an impetus for further research.","PeriodicalId":94188,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses","volume":"42 5 1","pages":"233-7, 243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89163408","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}
