To explore Iranian nurses' perceptions of and experiences with the antecedents and consequences of workplace violence perpetrated by patients, patients' relatives, colleagues and superiors. ⋯ Identifying factors, which lead to workplace violence, could help facilitate documenting and reporting such incidents as well as developing the necessary interventions to reduce them. Furthermore, native instruments must be developed to predict and monitor violence.
-
To describe rural and urban palliative/hospice care nurses' communication strategies while providing spiritual care for patients and families at end of life. ⋯ There is a dire need to prepare undergraduate and graduate students to assess and support a patient's spiritual needs. Addressing spiritual care content as a clinical and educational priority will promote a patient-centred approach for spiritual care and can further shape nursing curricula, policies, guidelines and assessment tools.
-
To examine the quality and safety of nurse practitioner services of two newly implemented nurse practitioner models of care at a correctional facility. ⋯ Results suggest that nurse practitioner models can be successfully integrated into a prison setting and could provide a nursing career pathway.
-
To understand the perceptions of critical care nurses towards providing end-of-life care. ⋯ Nurses could be involved more in decision-making and empowered to start end-of-life care conversations within the team and with family members. Communication with family members and between nurses and doctors could be improved. Support for nurses providing end-of-life care could be enhanced through promoting social networks, education and bereavement support. Further research is needed to explore ways to support and empower nurses to provide end-of-life care in critical care.
-
To systematically review the literature describing factors perceived by nurses as impacting the provision of patient-centred nursing in the intensive care unit. ⋯ Measures to enhance patient-centred nursing could promote critical care nurses' job satisfaction and workforce retention, and be applied more broadly and collaboratively to promote multidisciplinary patient-centred care.
