Family Nursing

The beliefs of nursing professionals who care for families experiencing illness are fundamental to the quality of the nurse–family relationship and the level of the nurse’s involvement in the therapeutic process of Family Systems Nursing. It is essential to have valid and reliable instruments for assessing nurses’ illness beliefs, especially in the Spanish context where no instruments have been identified to date. The Iceland Health Care Practitioner Illness Beliefs Questionnaire (ICE-HCP-IBQ) is a reliable and valid measure of professionals’ beliefs about their understanding of the meaning of the illness experience of families. The purpose of this study was to adapt and psychometrically test the Spanish version of the ICE-HCP-IBQ ( N = 249 nurses). The exploratory factor analysis showed one-factor solution with good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .91) and test–retest reliability ( r = .72, p < .01). This questionnaire is a promising tool for mapping nurse’s illness beliefs and monitoring the effectiveness of family nursing educational interventions in the Spanish context.

Separate Discipline

Clinical pharmacy administration has emerged as a separate discipline, but this new field has not been functionally defined. This article defines clinical pharmacy administration from an academic point of view and provides a framework within which it may be understood. It is an applied field of study that deals with the research, evaluation, and management of the patient, the drug, and the health care practitioner as they all relate to patient care. These entities and relationships are studied at the micro, macro, and global levels from financial, economic, managerial, legal, ethical, social, behavioral, educational, and historical perspectives. It is intended that this paper generate debate and discussion in order to refine and develop the field.

Medical Disciplines

From its inception in 1895, chiropractic has overwhelmingly been a spine-focused discipline. The central connection between chiropractic and gastroenterology is the anatomy and physiology of viscerosomatic and somatovisceral reflexes. The profound anatomical and physiological interconnection of the gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems calls doctors of gastroenterology and chiropractic to understand this potent interface. Gut issues often cause back problems, and vice versa, through viscerosomatic and somatovisceral reflexes. Chiropractors, through spinal manipulation and other modalities, influence both systems. Root-cause gastrointestinal treatments also influence both systems. Recognizing these relationships better positions any health care practitioner to discern causative elements of presenting cases. This chapter explores the intersections between these two systems and two medical disciplines.

The U.S

Virtually every health care practitioner who provides care to adults will encounter individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current estimates of the prevalence of the condition vary based on the method of ascertainment: most surveys show that approximately 6% of adults report a doctor's diagnosis of COPD but that approximately 25% have airflow obstruction when assessed by spirometry. COPD is common, morbid, mortal, and expensive: estimates are that 〉20 million U.S. adults have COPD and that it is responsible for 〉120,000 deaths annually with a cost to the U.S. economy of more than $38 billion. This chapter describes the definition of COPD, presenting clinical symptomatology and evaluation, natural history, differential diagnosis, current concepts of pathogenesis, therapeutic options, and the evaluation of a patient with known or suspected COPD considering surgery.

Health Behaviour Change

Patients with hypertension need to convert their knowledgeabout the disease and its management into meaningful action to be able to change their health behaviour. By doing this they are able to reduce the risk of the cardiovascular complications that are associated with hypertension If they can change their health behaviour it can be said that they have taken responsibility for their health. In this study a group of patients with hypertension who assumed responsibility for health behaviour change during a health behaviour modification programme was identified and compared to a group who did not. There were significant differences between the group that assumed responsibility for health behaviour change and the group that did not. The group that assumed responsibility:• had the support of a health care practitioner and a family member (p<0,000); • were employed (p=0.03); • were not anxious or depressed (p=0.07); • experienced their usual sex-lives (p=0.03); • did not have symptoms of heart pounding present (p=0.03). The adjusted odds ratio obtained from a logistic regression analysis showed a seven- times more likelihood ofpatients becoming responsible for their health if they were supported by their families and a health-care practitioner

And Coping

A child’s death is a traumatic life experience for parents. Health-care professionals (HCPs) have sought guidance on how to intervene with grieving parents, particularly with fathers. Having therapeutic conversations is an effective way for HCPs to support grieving fathers. In our previous study, fathers identified core beliefs that influenced their experience of grief and coping. In this article, the Illness Beliefs Model was integrated with the findings to provide a framework for interventions to create open conversations, ease fathers’ suffering, and thereby help their spouse and family suffering as well. This article will guide HCPs to engage in therapeutic conversations to support bereaved fathers.
