Abstract:

The frontline nurses’ experience of nursing with overstretched resources in acute care setting can affect their health and well-being. Little is known about the experience of registered nurses faced with the care of a patient outside their area of expertise. The aim of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of nursing the outlier patient, when patients are nursed in a ward that is not specifically developed to deal with the major clinical diagnosis involved (e.g., renal patient in gynecology ward). Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, eleven individual face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with registered nurses in New South Wales, Australia. The study identified that each nurse had a specialty construct developed from nursing in a specialized environment. Each nurse had normalized the experience of specialty nursing and had developed a way of thinking and practicing theorized as a “care ladder”. By grouping and analyzing various “care ladders” together, the nursing capacities common to nurses formed the phenomenological orientation, namely “the composite care ladder”. Compared to nursing specialty-appropriate patients, nursing the outlier patient caused disruption of the care ladder, with some nurses becoming less capable as they were nursing the outlier patient. Nursing the outlier patient disrupted the nurses’ normalized constructs of nursing. This study suggests that nursing patients in specialty-appropriate wards will improve patient outcomes and reduce impacts on the nurses’ morale.

Abstract:

Background: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of computer-assisted instructions on the knowledge gain of the staff nurses on renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients. Methods: An experimental design was chosen with pre-test and post-test of the experimental and control group. The sample comprised 60 registered staff nurses divided into two groups - 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. The tools used for conducting the study included demographic variables, and self-structured questionnaire to assess knowledge of experimental and control group. The experimental group was given computer-assisted instructions as an intervention and the control group was used only for comparison. The data was analysed with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The study clearly shows that there was a significant gain in the knowledge of staff nurses in experimental group with computer-assisted instructions regarding renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients.Conclusion: The staff nurses can be benefited by computer-assisted instructions to improve their knowledge and practice on renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients and they can practice these interventions in clinical area in the future.

Abstract:

Aim: A key role of renal nurses is the correct and safe administration of immunosuppressive drug therapy (ImmRx) to kidney transplant recipients. The authors sought to examine the knowledge and competency of ImmRx in kidney transplant patients and whether an annual kidney transplant nurse education programme had any beneficial effects. Methods: The study population was comprised of 63.2% (n=50/79) of all nurses from renal wards (ward A (n=17/35), ward B (n=21/32)) and 12 nurses from a high-dependency urology ward (ward C (n=12)). Kidney transplant patients usually receive inpatient care in wards A, B or C only as these wards specialise in urology and renal care. Each nurse completed a 35-question test that covered ImmRx in areas of indication, identification, interaction, pharmcokinetics/pharmacodynamics, therapeutic drug monitoring, administration and adverse effects. A minimum score of 70% was required to pass the test. Results: Only 46% of participants passed the test. The proportion of nurses who passed was not significantly different with respect to years of nursing experience, professional rank, postgraduate nursing qualifications or ward location. Unexpectedly, a greater proportion of nurses who did not attend the education programme passed the test (63.6%; n=14/22) than those who did attend it (32.1%; n=9/28]; p=0.03). Notably, 24% (n=12/50), 4% (n=2/50) and 4% (n=2/50) were unable to correctly answer any of the identification, interaction and therapeutic drug monitoring questions. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the nurses' understanding and knowledge of ImmRx is insufficient and they need to update their knowledge on ImmRx continually.

Abstract:

Background: Renal stone disease is a considerable burden on public health worldwide. This study aimed to assess the nurse’s knowledge regarding renal stone among the nurses working at a selected specialized hospital.Methods: A total of 120 samples were collected through purposive sampling technique. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted under quantitative approach. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face to face interview. A written informed consent was obtained from the hospital authority and nurses. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.Results: In this study ninety percent of the respondents were female and about 43.3% of the respondents were in the age group 31-35 years. About 35.8% of the respondents had postgraduate qualification and the majority (63.3%) of the respondents had 4 years and above years of service experience. More than nine-tenths (95.8%) of the respondents mentioned that renal stone is one kind of urological disease and 75.8% of the respondents mentioned that calcium oxalate is responsible elements for formation of renal stone. About 63.3% of them mentioned pain or burning during urination as the symptoms of renal stone. 66.7% of the respondents mentioned that a patient with renal stone should be counseled on stone-specific dietary interventions.Conclusions: The findings reveal that most of the study participants had good level of knowledge regarding the renal stone. It was recommended that a special training on renal stone for nurses might be geared up to increase their level of knowledge.

Abstract:

Background: Nursing presence is an essential nurse caring behavior of being with the patient. This is particularly true for those with chronic renal disease and who regularly undergo maintenance hemodialysis treatment in the hospital setting. When nursing presence is perceived by patients in a nurse-patient relationship, it is more likely to result in enhanced satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. Thus, it is important for hemodialysis nurses to be aware of the relevance of nurse-patient interactions in planned care considering that these interactions are integral to the extent to which nursing presence is experienced and perceived by patients.Objective: This study aims to determine the hemodialysis nurses’ extent of nursing presence as perceived by patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment in two hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines.Methods: Utilizing the descriptive research design, the study was conducted in two hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines. A total of 121 hemodialysis patients were purposely selected to determine their perception as to the extent of hemodialysis nurse’s nursing presence utilizing the 25-item Presence of Nursing Scale (PONS) instrument. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.Result: The overall rating by the hemodialysis patients in both hospitals was “always" on the hemodialysis nurses’ extent of nursing presence with an average mean score of 4.47 in all 25 items of the PONS. The highest rated item which reflects that the nurse cares for the patient as a person had an average mean score of 4.63 (always) while the lowest rated item indicating that the nurse is meeting the spiritual needs of the patient had an average mean score of 4.23 (always).Conclusion: The nurse-patient relationship is enhanced by the presence of nurses who are more responsive and interactive with the patients, resulting in patients who are more satisfied with nursing care. Thus, it is suggested that nurses in dealing with patients of varying backgrounds should consider their unique needs when giving information, explanations, health education and nursing care.

Abstract:

Patients with Chronic Renal Failure experience an inability of the body to remove metabolic waste. Hemodialysis and regulation of nutritional intake are efforts to maintain their health condition. The information provided so that patients understand and comply with the therapy is very important to prevent emergency conditions. Therefore, Discharge Planning is very important on patients with Chronic Renal Failure to provide information concerning the sustainable health needs after patients’ discharge, implementing evaluation and directing the self-care. This study aimed to determine the management of Discharge Planning implementation for clients with chronic renal failure in the Hemodialysis Room at Ungaran General Hospital. The research design used was a case study with an embedded single case study. Participants in the study were nurses and patients with Chronic Renal Failure who were selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and discharge planning documentation studies. The number of participants in the study were three nurse executors of hemodialysis and 3 patients who received hemodialysis therapy. Informant consent was submitted for the informants' approval prior to the interview. The data collected from the interviews were analyzed using pattern matching techniques. Based on the research, it shows that the role of nurses in the hemodialysis room is the most important in implementing Discharge Planning as educator executor, and managerial role is carried out by the head of the ward.

Abstract:

Career stage is a system which can enhance job satisfaction, work performance and professionalism of nurse through competence enhancement. The component of career stage system being researched included career development, appreciation to the nurse, opportunity for doing challenging task, opportunity for promotion and recognition of the nurse. Nurse career stage system at PGI “C” Hospital in Jakarta has been known since seven years ago in which nurse expects this system to be implemented, however there is no decision as to implement the system yet. The study was aimed to evaluate the influence of the applied of career system for job satisfaction of the nurses in PGI “C” Hospital in Jakarta. The design used was quasy experiment in pre and posttest with control group, which the intervention was given at H Unit and as control group was Renal Unit. By using purposive sampling 21 nurses was selected in each unit. Data collection was twice, i.e before intervention and 7 weeks after intervention. The statistic used are t-test, correlation and one way Anova. The result showed that in the intervention group, the improvement of job satisfaction of the nurses higher with p-value: 0.000 for all components of career stage system (career development, appreciation to the nurse, opportunity for doing challenging task, opportunity for promotion and recognition of the nurse). The study concluded that the implementation of the career stage system could improve the job satisfaction of the nurses at PGI “C” Hospital in Jakarta. Based on this result to enhance the quality of nursing services at PGI “C” Hospital in Jakarta, it is suggested to the director to implement this system.

Abstract:

The maintenance of vascular access patency for end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis is necessary for survival. Many nephrologists, nurse practitioners, and nurses have limited experience with the physical examination of the arteriovenous fistula. In this review, we define key terms used in the assessment of an arteriovenous fistula. We discuss the arteriovenous fistula physical exam, including details of inspection, palpation, and auscultation. Using these concepts, we review the abnormal findings that can assist practitioners in determining the location of a stenosis. We review the existing literature that validates physical exam findings with gold standard tests such as ultrasound and angiography. Finally, we review data supporting the value of training physicians and nurses in arteriovenous fistula physical examination.

Abstract:

Background: Health, as defined by World Health Organization, is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Thus, in chronic diseases, the quality of life (QOL), which describes the patient health, is an essential scale for assessing the success of a treatment. Health-related QOL (HRQOL) is the subjective perception of the illness and its treatment on the physical, psychological, and social well-being. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) experience the heavy burden of dialysis treatment through its physical dependence, mental influence, and the myriad symptoms of ESRD. Objective: The study aims to assess the effectiveness of Self Instruction Module (SIM) on knowledge of clinical nurses regarding quality of life of end stage renal disorder patients at Adhichunchanagiri Hospital and Research Centre, Mandya, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach and a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design were used to accomplish the stated objectives. The investigator selected a sample of 60 nurses who were working in Adhichunchanagiri Hospital. The data were collected by using a self administered structured knowledge questionnaire. Planned teaching was given with appropriate A-V aid followed by pretest. Result: Inferential and descriptive statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS-IBM 20. Results were calculated by using p value < 0.05. The results revealed that, in pretest 70% of the nurses had inadequate knowledge where as in posttest 68.3% of the nurses had gained adequate knowledge and the improvement was statistically significant at P<0.05. Conclusion: The study result shows that after intervention knowledge regarding quality of life of end stage renal disorder patients among nurses were improved significantly. Keywords: Effectiveness, self instruction module, quality of life, knowledge of staff nurses and end stage renal disorder.

Abstract:

Critical care nurses occasionally confront patient conditions that are not common. One such condition is hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Three primary processes contribute to regional alterations in circulation in the renal and splanchnic beds. These processes include effective hypovolemia from the massive release of vasoactive mediators, thereby underfilling circulation, systemic and splanchnic vasodilation along with renal vasoconstriction, and hyperdynamic circulation. A “second-hit” hypothesis, whereby a triggering event causes intravascular volume depletion, likely initiates the development of HRS. The idea of a second hit focuses the attention of the health care team on surveillance strategies to prevent or limit HRS in patients with advanced cirrhosis and ascites. The treatment goal is to restore systemic and splanchnic vasoconstriction, while promoting renal vasodilation, balance sodium, and achieve euvolemia. The critical care nurse must maintain ongoing education to care for the patient with this complex syndrome in order to prevent complications and death.

Full text

Abstract:

Maintaining sodium balance in the VLBW infant is not straightforward. Several predisposing factors appear in more than one imbalance constellation. In addition, the same patient circumstance can produce two types of imbalance. Understanding the physical properties of electrolytes and water enables critical care nurses to anticipate outcomes of specific situations in the neonatal ICU. Careful assessment of renal function, urine output, and water balance are crucial in determining proper treatment of sodium balance disorders. The high potential risk of errors in the neonatal ICU requires verification of all fluid and electrolyte orders, as well as serial safety checks of IV fluids and additives to avoid complications. An expert nurse's ability to predict the needs of VLBW infants places the nurse in a pivotal position to recognize subtle changes before actual physiologic change occurs. Although the multiple variations can be confusing to the bedside clinician, sorting through them helps in selecting interventions that are timely and improve the outcomes and morbidity of our smallest patients at risk.

Abstract:

The advance of renal replacement therapy options for people with end-stage kidney disease has given rise to the development of specialist renal nurses including the renal transplant coordinator. The renal transplant coordinator role requires a high level of specialist knowledge in renal and transplantation nursing plus a commitment to following through with people in the long term. To find out just what renal transplant coordinators in Australia do, an interview was conducted with renal transplant coordinators from each Australian state and territory. Their stories relate to transplanting units; referring centres; and, adult, paediatric, state-wide and national renal services. They demonstrate the diversity that exists within the role of the renal transplant coordinator.

Abstract:

Biotechnology products signify a major advancement in our world today. Products resulting from biotechnology will revolutionize how health care is delivered. One of these technologic breakthroughs is recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin).1 Its impact on the delivery of care to the anemic renal patient is changing the roles of nurses who provide care for these patients. Epoetin alfa has virtually eliminated the necessity of transfusions in the renal patient population, while simultaneously improving the quality of life for those patients and their families. To appropriately monitor the patient receiving epoetin therapy, the nurse must understand iron physiology and metabolism, factors that influence blood pressure, and factors that can blunt the response to epoetin therapy, and still appreciate the individual nursing requirements of each patient. Such juggling of information demands that the critical care nurse be alert to the subtle changes occurring within the patient, thereby allowing sound decisions based on astute nursing assessment

Abstract:

It is not uncommon for renal patients to present with psychosocial problems and behavioral problems. This paper briefly discusses some of the psychosocial factors associated with renal disease and peritoneal dialysis, considers the role that those factors play in relation to clinical treatment, and suggests nursing interventions that involve problem-solving with patients and providing support to caregivers. Because nurses are on the front line in encounters with patients, their contribution can facilitate support for the psychosocial situations of their patients through effective communication within a committed multidisciplinary team that share a vision of the significance of psychosocial intervention.

Abstract:

Calcific uremic arteriolopathy is a little understood diagnosis of increasing prevalence seen predominantly in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those who are approaching end-stage renal disease, who are undergoing renal dialysis, and who have secondary hyperparathyroidism. Calcific uremic arteriolopathy affects women more frequently than men, at a ratio of 3:1, and the median age at diagnosis is 48 years. A clear understanding of the pathogenesis and definitive plans of care are lacking. Nurses should be familiar with the clinical picture of calcific uremic arteriolopathy. Early recognition is important to develop optimal treatment plans and to limit progression of this rare but often fatal disease. Nurses have a pivotal role in maintaining the patient’s comfort and dignity, while setting realistic goals of care. Calcific uremic arteriolopathy remains a rare and complex clinical condition that requires a multidisciplinary health care team approach to provide the optimal level of care. Nurses have an essential role in the care of patients with the diagnosis of calcific uremic arteriolopathy.

Abstract:

RESUMEN El término “catéter” es muy conocido para las enfermeras, sin embargo, el manejo de las vías para los pacientes con fallo renal es un tema que ofrece cierta dificultad. Las facetas específicas con relación a este tipo de catéteres y el tratamiento depurativo renal son el objetivo de este capítulo. Se analiza cómo hacer el cálculo del flujo de sangre, cómo elegir un buen catéter según su morfología, cuál es la técnica mejor para conservarlo y de qué forma sellarlo cuando se deje en reposo, sin tratamiento depurativo. Estos y otros conocimientos fundamentales se describirán, a partir de la evidencia hallada en la literatura. PALABRAS CLAVE catéter, enfermera, fracaso renal agudo (FRA), terapias continuas de reemplazo renal (TCRR), unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) ABSTRACT The word catheter is well known to nurses, however, its management for patients with renal failure is a subject that offers some difficulty. The problems with this specific catheter and the renal purifying treatment are the objective of this paper. It analyses how to calculate the blood flow, how to choose a good catheter according to its morphology, what is the best technique to preserve it and how to lock it when it is left at rest, without any purifying treatment. These and other fundamental knowledge will be described, based on the evidence founded in the literature. KEY WORDS acute renal failure (ARF), catheter, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), intensive care unit (ICU), nurse.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectives:Traditionally, patients have to wait until assessed by a physician for opioid analgesia to be administered, which contributes to delays to analgesia. Western Hospital developed a protocol enabling nurses to initiate opioid analgesia prior to medical assessment for selected conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of this protocol on time to first opioid dose in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with renal or biliary colic.Methods:This was an explicit medical record review of all adult patients with an ED discharge diagnosis of renal or biliary colic presenting to a metropolitan teaching hospital ED. Patients were identified via the ED data management system. Data collected included demographics, condition, triage category, time of presentation, whether analgesia was nurse-initiated or not, and interval from arrival to first opioid analgesic dose. The narcotic drug register for the relevant period was also searched to cross-check whether opiates were doctor- or nurse-initiated.Results:There were 58 presentations in the nurse-initiated opioid analgesia group and 99 in the non-nurse-initiated analgesia group. Groups were reasonably well matched for gender, triage category and time of presentation, but there was a higher proportion of biliary colic in the non-nurse-initiated analgesia group. Median time to first analgesic dose was 31 minutes in the nurse-initiated group and 57 minutes in the non-nurse-initiated analgesia group (effect size, 26 minutes; 95% confidence interval 16-36 min;p< 0.0001]. There were no major adverse events in either group.Conclusion:A nurse-initiated opioid analgesia protocol reduces delays to opioid analgesia for patients with renal and biliary colic.

Abstract:

Because of its efficacy, IV furosemide has become a common medication administered to the critically ill adult. It is capable of causing serious complications if given without caution, without prior assessment of the patient's clinical status, or without careful monitoring of response to therapy. Furosemide has the potential to cause problems that are more than fluid and electrolyte imbalances. The nurse must be aware of toxic effects and how to minimize them when giving higher doses and, in renal failure. It is imperative for a patient's progress that his or her nurses have a knowledgeable and respectful attitude toward the drugs they administer.

Abstract:

Renal dysfunction is a common problem in cardiac transplant recipients who receive the immunosuppressive agent cyclosporine. Elevation in serum creatinine levels and other indicators of renal dysfunction often appear during the first year after transplant. Related problems of hypertension and gout also arc common. Specific strategies to minimize the nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine and other potential insults to renal function can be used by nurses, physicians, and other health team members. Preservation of renal function enhances a patient’s overall functional status and improves survival and quality of life for cardiac transplant recipients

Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction. Undoubtedly, the renal replacement therapy is stressful situation for the patients with chronic renal failure. Chronic disease limits and prevents meeting the psychosocial needs. It often causes the frustration, to which patients react in different ways.Aim of the Study. Purpose of the research was to investigate patients’ expectations for the support and to define the support given by nurses.Material and Methodology. One hyndred chronic renal failure patients were examined on the basis of an author’s questionnaire survey. Results were subjected to statistical analysis. Homogeneity test was used for unrelated quality characteristics to detect the existence of differences between compared groups.Results. Most of patients expected the support first from their families (39%), next from doctors and nurses. Almost everybody (95.0%) Experienced emotional support from nurses during every hemodialysis.Conclusions. The research shows that patients during stress expect a conversation and almost all of them accept the attitude of empathy. Those who received information support felt less stressed.
