Abstract:
Context: Toxic leadership becomes a real problem in nursing administration. Its toxicity harms the nursing staff's progress and creates a challenging work environment full of struggles that, in turn, produce adverse outcomes on the nursing staff's commitment toward the organization. Aim: This study envisioned to compare toxic leadership among intensive care nursing staff at Tanta University Hospital and El Menshawy hospital and assess its relation to their conflict management style used and organizational commitment at the two hospitals. Methods: A descriptive, comparative, via cross-sectional research design was applied. All intensive care units at Tanta University Hospitals and El-Menshawy General Hospital were included. All available nurses (n=544) at Tanta University hospitals' ICUs (n=301) and El-Menshawy hospital's ICUs (n=243) was incorporated. Toxic leadership, conflict management styles assessment, and organizational commitment scales were utilized to achieve this study's aim. Results: The nursing staff perceived that their leaders had high 10.6%, 11.5%, and moderate 12%, 11.9% overall toxic leadership levels at Tanta University Hospitals, and Elmenshawy Hospital, respectively. 43.9% of the nursing staff had a high level of using compromising style to manage conflict with their supervisors at Tanta University hospitals contrasted to 36.6% using competing style at El Menshawy hospital. 78.4% of the nursing staff had a low level of overall organizational commitment at Tanta University hospital's ICUs compared to 63% at El-Menshawy General hospital's ICUs. Conclusion: Toxic leadership affected the nursing staff's choice of conflict management style used when handling conflict with toxic leaders at two hospitals and had a negative effect on affective and normative dimensions of organizational commitment in both hospitals. Therefore, improving leadership experiences is necessary by conducting a leadership development program to meet the nursing staff's expectations and improve their commitment. Also, adjusting the hospital's policies is vital to permit nursing staffs' involvement in leadership evaluation as a mean for early detection of leaders' toxic behaviors.

Abstract:
Opening a new hospital poses a complex and consequential set of challenges. One of these challenges is to estimate the nursing staff. The aim of this article is to report the entire process adopted to estimate the required nursing staff for a new Hospital in Brazil. The nursing staff was projected according to the Brazilian Federal Nursing Council (Cofen). We applied an equation to estimate nursing staff and compared the results with two other existing hospitals. A significant difference (p<0.05) was observed when comparing the Nurse-License Practice Nurse ratio recommended by Cofen between the new Hospital and other hospitals. This statistical difference is mostly due to reduced nurse staff in intensive care units. Almost one year after the hospital opened its doors, it is necessary to review nursing staff hours with the real information to reinforce the expenditure on these personnel and to evaluate the decisions made so far.

Abstract:
The health care sector has undergone significant change during the past decade as hospitals struggle to provide the same service with fewer resources. This study examined perceptions of hospital restructuring and downsizing and their effects on nursing staff as a function of years in nursing. Data were obtained from 1,362 staff nurses by questionnaire. Nursing staff having less tenure generally described and responded to hospital restructuring and downsizing in more negative terms. Nursing staff having less tenure were in better health, reflecting their younger age. Some implications for hospital administration and the nursing profession are raised. Entrants to hospital-based nursing staff positions are the life blood of the profession. Their reactions to hospital restructuring and downsizing may influence their commitment to nursing as well as hospital functioning. The profession may have difficulty attracting young women and men into nursing programs. As longer tenured nursing staff retire, a potential shortage of nurses may result.

Abstract:
AbstractExamination of manuscript sources from the London Homoeopathic Hospital (LHH) 1850–1899 are set in historical context by presentation of data from the House of Lords Select Committee on Metropolitan Hospitals Report (1892)1 and review of selected items from the literature. This material shows the gradual progress in nursing practice, education and management at London hospitals.Analysis of LHH primary historical source documents (Minutes of Board Meetings,2 Minutes of Governors and Subscribers Meetings,3 Minutes of the LHH Staff Committee4 and the Medical Staff Committee5 and Clinical Notes6) show development of management and education systems in nursing. Less stress was placed on clinical practice. Significant support for development of nurse education at LHH was provided by members of the medical staff. The few references made to clinical nursing practice were recorded in the Medical Staff Committee Minutes. The strongest emphasis in all source material was on management of nursing services.Exploration of nursing management in 19th century London, in particular at the London Homoeopathic Hospital, reveals many similarities between conditions then and the present. It also provides evidence of progress in professionalization of nursing, with enhanced autonomy in education and professional practice. In this context, it is worth exploring the mode of managing nursing in 19th century voluntary hospitals and, in particular, at the London Homoeopathic Hospital.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe staff nurses' perceptions of their power bases in their work environment. Power, the capacity to set conditions, make decisions and take action that influences others, is an increasingly important issue within the nursing profession. In the nursing literature, nurses have been encouraged to consider the power to influence nursing care as an attainable goal and a necessary element in the change process. Empowering staff nurses may become a strategy for coping with the nursing manpower shortage. However, research about nursing power has focused on the nurse manager and little is written about staff nurses' perception of their power. A grounded theory research design was used to collect and analyze data. Data were collected through interviews of nine staff nurses in a 369 bed British Columbia community hospital. A comparative content analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the staff nurse participants were able to recognize certain factors in their work environment that impacted on their sense of power. The nature of nurses' work and the communication of information were found to be the most significant factors. The communication of information was perceived to positively influence nurses' sense of power, while the nature of nurses' work was found to limit nurses' sense of power. Nurses' lack of control over client care was found to contribute to a sense of powerlessness and was linked to units using team nursing. The eight power bases outlined in Randolph's framework, were useful as a basis for describing the staff nurses' perceptions of their organizational power bases. The staff nurses studied were found to have the most affinity for referent, expert, information, and connection power bases. These nurses were found to have the least affinity for reward, coercion, legitimate, and resource power bases. Primary nursing was found to enhance legitimate power while team nursing was found to enhance connection power. The source of power most frequently mentioned by the nurse participants was personal power in relation to oneself. This did not fit into Randolph's framework and was not well defined. This has implications for nursing since support for the professional nature of nurses' work was found to strenghthen nurses' sense of personal power. Knowledge about the perceptions described by the subjects in this investigation provides information to assist nurses' to identify power bases that they may not recognize. As well, increased understanding about staff nurses' perceptions of power should enable nursing administration to identify strategies for retaining nurses and enhancing client care.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Healthcare-associated infections constitute a threat to patient safety and an economic burden on health systems worldwide. The most effective way to prevent healthcare-associated infections is through proper hand hygiene practice, but studies show that compliance is low. In 2009, the World Health Organization released hand hygiene guidelines and tools to address the issue.  Aim The aim of the study was to measure the compliance to the WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care among nursing staff in a private hospital in the Philippines using the evaluation framework of the World Health Organization. Method The method used to assess compliance was structured direct observations using the World Health Organization’s observation form. Data was collected in 15 days, during full shifts, and analyzed quantitatively based on overall compliance, according to indication, ward, week day/weekend and shift. Results A total of 1920 opportunities were recorded, of which 336 were hand rub performances, 168 hand wash and 1416 missed opportunities, giving an overall compliance of 26.25 percent. The ward with the highest compliance rate was the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (45.40 percent) and the lowest was Nursing Station 1 (22.26 percent). Conclusion The overall compliance rate of 26.25 percent is lower compared to most published studies and healthcare workers were more compliant to indications that protect themselves than to indications that protect patients. The results can be useful in improving quality of care and patient safety.

Abstract:
As a facility that offers an important service to its users, a hospital can be considered as a production unit ; a unit that provides health-care service. Therefore, a range of factors that facilitate this service (i.e. healthcare) need to be considered when speaking of improving the productivity in a hospital ward. Evidence suggests that one of the main factors that affect the productivity level of a hospital ward is how the design of the hospital deals with access and circulation of the people inside the ward (e.g. Joseph and Ulrich, 2007). A productivity-oriented circulation system will need to improve staff performance; enhance patients safety, privacy and rate of recovery; minimise the risk of cross-infection; reduce the delay time of external service delivery; create a more welcoming environment for visitors; and reduce the evacuation time in emergency situations. Thus, the need to design ward layouts that benefit from the most effective circulation system cannot be over-emphasised. The study presented in this thesis focused on finding a method for identifying different systems of access and people circulation in hospital wards and how they could affect nursing staff productivity. The study comprised five main phases. The first phase involved a literature review of existing healthcare environments to identify different types of access and people circulation requirements. In the second phase, data on nursing staff s movements were collected from a case study. The third phase focused on categorising and modelling the existing approaches and layout design systems. Phase four provided a comparative study of different categories of people circulation designs and contrasted their advantages and disadvantages to improve access and people circulation. In the fifth and final phase, the study concluded with proposing guidelines for choosing between different layout options in the design of new hospital wards or the refurbishment of the existing ones. Findings of the study included: further empirical and analytical support for the impact of the ward design on nursing staff s performance; a ranking of the suitability of different design layouts for minimising staff s unnecessary walking in wards similar to the case study; the importance of considering different staff members needs in such analyses; and a ranking of the criticality of different routes within a ward.

Abstract:
A hospital-wide intervention is rolled out. There are changes in the team leadership and many operational adjustments: supplies ordered, procedures redesigned, nursing assignments altered. Three major types of troublemakers are described: the active resisters, the organizational constipators, and the time-servers. Motivations range from opposition to any kind of change to a personal animus toward the project champions to a determination to do as little extra work as possible. Requests by patients and their families may be used to try to get around bladder bundle items or a member of the project team may approach nurses with a patronizing attitude. The team cheers short-term progress to encourage staff compliance, solicits concrete criticism as a path to improvement, and adjusts the implementation process to allow for special circumstances. Efforts to use the electronic medical record to game the system must be squelched. Unfortunately, these challenges are all too common when implementing an infection prevention initiative—but there are solutions.

Abstract:
Most hospital organizational environments in Japan are required to redesign the current organization into a new type of organization, namely a knowledge-based or an intelligent organization. Team care formation, for instance, which forms a hierarchy with medical doctors having an initiative, and simply gathering some disciplinary staff in plural areas, is not adequate. Redesigning an innovative organization is not possible without appropriate transformation into a flexible and resilient organization that can cope with the contingency of complex social environment. Professional staff in hospitals need to develop their work organization to be more flexible and adaptive to the changes in society. The accidental events which happen in hospitals are rarely controlled only by technical countermeasures or by traditional human resource management, but can be purposefully aligned by the appropriate application of knowledge management methodologies. Accuracy of human action is not merely acquired by avoiding erroneous behavior, rather it is ensured by continuously redesigning work organizational climate for the participants to take an autonomic action with the sense of organizational citizenship and social responsibility. The focus in this chapter is placed on the current situations of work organization of hospitals in Japan and on the comparison of perceived nursing work, incidence rates during 24 hours of nursing care work, and reduced reliability among four control modes of organizational environment, such as strategic, tactical, opportunistic, and scrambled. This study suggests that cognitive reliability on work conditions and on perceived work environment plays a critical role in improving performance reliability and in reducing human errors in order to provide a high quality of nursing care.

Abstract:
An important part of nurse decision-making is the prompt and appropriate response to clinical emergencies, wherever these occur. In hospital environments, nurses are guided by local policies and protocols and have access to sophisticated medical equipment and facilities and help from other healthcare staff. The situation may be very different for nurses working in community settings or those who are ‘off duty’, yet they too are bound by the NMC Code to offer help in clinical emergencies. This chapter outlines key points relating to a range of life-threatening and more minor clinical emergencies, whether seen in hospital, community, or social settings. It also describes the basic principles of first aid or first-line treatments, and key nursing considerations in the emergency situations are described.

Abstract:
Irish women provided significant support to the Allied forces during the First World War. 4,500 Irish nurses offered medical care and support to British and Allied troops, serving in war hospitals on foreign battlefields and across Britain and Ireland. This chapter investigates the role of Belfast’s three major hospitals in caring for war casualties. It focuses on the nurses engaged in providing care and the broader impact of nursing shortages on hospital work, significantly advancing understandings of twentieth-century Irish nursing. Drawing upon a diverse range of primary sources, the chapter traces the nurses’ social origins, religious backgrounds, motivations for enlisting, experiences of providing care and post-conflict careers. Uniquely, the chapter also offers a detailed account of the defining characteristics of the hospitals that provided care for war causalities, how their new wartime functions impacted on their administrative and practical running and also how war work shaped the future careers of the staff employed there.

Abstract:
Children present to the health services with a variety of health needs. The Department of Health (DH) National Service Framework (2004) in the United Kingdom (UK) identifies that children with health needs should receive good quality care. Furthermore this care needs to be provided by staff that have adequate preparation to work with children and families (DH, 2004). In order to provide such care, the nursing student needs to develop and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to gain an understanding and appreciation of the common needs of both family and child on hospitalization. This chapter aims to equip you with the knowledge and background skills to enable you to provide this quality care. After reading this chapter you should be able to: ● Identify and outline the essential skills that are required during the child’s admission to hospital. ● Understand the essential clinical observations that are performed upon the child’s admission to hospital. ● Develop a further understanding of the basic elements of admission and discharge planning, including the nursing process and care planning. ● Understand the importance of good record keeping during care. ● Identify the means of transmission of infection and the specific precautions and practices that the nursing student can utilize to prevent such transmission. ● Understand the principles of distraction therapy. ● Understand the situations in which restraint may be required. ● Comprehend the principles of last offices and the nurse’s role in providing bereavement care. This chapter assists with your understanding of your nursing care by helping you to understand the skills that can be used during the child’s admission to hospital. These skills develop with experience and education and enable you to develop a caring, family centred approach that makes the transition from home to hospital and vice versa a smooth one for both family and child. Crucially, the assessment process, in the initial phase, helps to set the scene in your relationship with both child and family and communication skills are vital. At the same time essential physical observations of the child are carried out and documented to support your overall assessment and these will be outlined in this chapter.

Abstract:
In this chapter we return to the story of Anthony and his brother David, who we originally met in Chapter 4, and Joyce, who first appears in Chapter 5. Previously we considered the role of the mental health nurse in working with people experiencing acute mental health crisis. This chapter seeks to consider how as mental health nurses we might go on to work with these people to support their rehabilitation and reintegration into the community. The chapter opens by outlining some key principles of recovery and proceeds to demonstrate how these ideas might be implemented in working with both Anthony and Joyce. “The way I was feeling my sadness was mine. When I was in hospital staff rarely took time to find out what this was like for me. Not taking the time often fuelled what I was thinking: ‘I’m not worth finding out about.’ Nigel Short (2007: 23)” This service user describes how it feels to live with mental illness continuously throughout their lives, not just while they are in hospital. Professional staff may contribute to this feeling if care planning becomes too focused upon symptoms and treatment rather than person-centred care and recovery. In this context, recovery should not be seen as a new concept; rather it can be traced back at least 200 years to one of the earliest asylums, the Tuke Retreat in Yorkshire. “For it was a critical appraisal of psychiatric practice that inspired the Tuke at York to establish a clinical philosophy and therapeutic practice based on kindness, compassion, respect and hope of recovery. Roberts and Wolfson (2004: 37).” Later, during the 1960s, The Vermont Project (an American psychiatric facility) also published research on successful rehabilitative practice that was based upon ‘faith, hope and love’ (Eldred et al. 1962: 45). However, much of the current focus upon recovery practices is based on longitudinal studies in America, services in Ohio, service users were asked to identify what was important to them. This resulted in the Emerging Best Practices document that is recommended guidance in the UK today (NIMHE 2004).

Abstract:
Nearly all of us end up in the hospital for something sooner or later. The unique problems of Lewy disorders and medications can challenge hospital care teams. On a related note, some individuals with DLB or PDD may require care in a nursing facility. This may be transient, requiring rehabilitation and stabilization following a hospitalization; in other cases, it is indefinite because of the complex care necessary for DLB and PDD. In this chapter, the focus is on the care teams in these facilities. Although many staff in these settings are familiar with the medications and problems of DLB and PDD, this knowledge is not universal. Little published literature addresses the special needs of those with PDD or DLB admitted to the hospital or living in extended care facilities. It is hoped that this chapter can be an aid in caring for those with PDD or DLB. People with DLB or PDD are, by definition, cognitively impaired. Sometimes this is associated with hallucinations or delusions. Most individuals also have dopamine deficiency states with parkinsonism. Another common component is autonomic nervous system dysfunction. This dysautonomia may be associated with bladder and bowel disorders but, more importantly, with orthostatic hypotension (potential for fainting when ambulating). Some people with PDD or DLB are mildly impaired by these problems, and others are quite compromised. What follows is a summary of crucial knowledge for nursing and paramedical staffs. 1. As with any dementia, novel environments are disorienting. 2. Hallucinations are a frequent component of DLB and PDD. These may be exacerbated by psychoactive medications, including narcotics for pain. 3. Carbidopa/levodopa is the least likely among the potent drugs for parkinsonism to provoke hallucinations. Other Parkinson drugs should generally not be started. 4. People with DLB or PDD commonly experience dream enactment behavior (REM sleep behavior disorder); this should not be misinterpreted as nocturnal hallucinations. 5. Anticholinergic medications for urinary urgency may cross the blood–brain barrier and impair cognition (e.g., oxybutynin). The only drug from this class that cannot get into the brain is trospium (Sanctura).

Abstract:
Like many healthcare providers, Shepherd's Grace Hospital struggles to appropriately staff their Emergency Room. Electing to follow employment trends, the hospital has engaged with a staffing agency for four traveling nurses. The purpose of this case is to explore the challenges of bringing contingent workers into an organization and how these short-term employees are viewed by the others more permanently embedded in the organization and the community. Also of importance is how social and psychological capital develop within an organization and how these roles can conflict when translated into a leadership role. This case follows four days of events for a traveling nurse, a traditional nurse, the Director of Nursing Services, the Director of Human Resources at the fictional Shepherd's Grace Hospital in the real city of Little Rock, AR. Upon conclusion, readers are asked to analyze the actions of these four characters along with the interactions of their circumstances (personal, professional, and geographic) to make decisions for how the hospital should move forward.

Abstract:
Abstract Robot-assisted healthcare could help alleviate the shortage of nursing staff in hospitals and is a potential solution to assist with safe patient handling and mobility. In an attempt to off-load some of the physically-demanding tasks and automate mundane duties of overburdened nurses, we have developed the Adaptive Robotic Nursing Assistant (ARNA), which is a custom-built omnidirectional mobile platform with a 6-DoF robotic manipulator and a force sensitive walking handlebar. In this paper, we present a robot-specific neuroadaptive controller (NAC) for ARNA’s mobile base that employs online learning to estimate the robot’s unknown dynamic model and nonlinearities. This control scheme relies on an inner-loop torque controller and features convergence with Lyapunov stability guarantees. The NAC forces the robot to emulate a mechanical system with prescribed admittance characteristics during patient walking exercises and bed moving tasks. The proposed admittance controller is implemented on a model of the robot in a Gazebo-ROS simulation environment, and its effectiveness is investigated in terms of online learning of robot dynamics as well as sensitivity to payload variations.
