Complex Concept

Background: Responsibility is an important component of the professional values and core competencies for bachelor degree nursing students and has relationships with nursing education and professionalization. It is important for providing safe and high-quality care to the clients for the present and future performance of student. But there is no clear and operational definition of this concept for bachelor degree nursing students; however, there are extensive contents and debates about the definitions, attributes, domains and boundaries of responsibility in nursing and non-nursing literature. Objective: To examine the concept of responsibility among bachelor degree nursing students using the evolutionary approach to concept analysis. Methods: A total of 75 articles published between 1990 and 2016 and related to the concept of responsibility were selected from seven databases and considered for concept analysis based on Rogers’ evolutionary approach. Ethical considerations: Throughout all stages of data collection, analysis and reporting, accuracy and bailment were respected. Findings: Responsibility is a procedural, spectral, dynamic and complex concept. The attributes of the concept are smart thinking, appropriate managerial behaviours, appropriate communicational behaviours, situational self-mandatory and task-orientation behaviours. Personal, educational and professional factors lead to the emergence of the responsible behaviours among bachelor degree nursing students. The emergence of such behaviours facilitates the learning and education process, ensures nursing profession life and promotes clients and community health level. Responsibility has some effects on nursing students. Discussion: This concept had been changed over time since 1990–2016. There are similarities and differences in the elements of this concept in disciplines of nursing and other educational disciplines. Conclusion: The analysis of this concept can help to develop educational or managerial theories, design instruments for better identification and evaluation of responsible behaviours among bachelor degree nursing students, develop strategies for enhancing the responsibility and improve the safety and quality of nursing care in the community and healthcare system.

BackgroundNurses are present at the bedside of patients undergoing withdrawal of life support more often than any other member of the health care team, yet most publications on this topic are directed at physicians.ObjectivesTo describe the training, guidance, and support related to withdrawal of life support received by nurses in intensive care units in the United States, how the nurses participated, and how the withdrawal of life support occurred.MethodsA questionnaire about withdrawal of life support was sent to 1000 randomly selected members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, with 2 follow-up mailings.ResultsResponses were received from 48.4% of the nurses surveyed. Content on withdrawal of life support was required in only 15.5% of respondents’ basic nursing education and was absent from work site orientations for 63.1% of respondents. Nurses’ actions during withdrawal were most often guided by individual physician’s orders (63.8%), followed by standardized care plans (20%) and standing orders (11.8%). Nurses rated the importance of emotional support during and after the withdrawal of life support very highly, but they did not believe they were receiving that level of support. Most respondents (87.5%) participated in family conferences where withdrawal of life support was discussed. After physicians, nurses were most influential concerning administration of palliative medications. Patients’ families were present during withdrawal procedures between 32.3% and 58.4% of the time.ConclusionsTo improve their practice, intensive care nurses should receive formal training on withdrawal of life support, and institutions should develop best practices that support nurses in providing the highest quality care for patients undergoing this procedure.

Abstract Background: Quality of maternal healthcare is determined by the strength of the regulatory framework in which health workers practice. Nursing regulation is poor and midwifery coexists with nursing in India, where 88% of midwifery and nursing education is provided by the private sector. The Indian health system faces major challenges for maternal health provision, with a 12% share of total maternal deaths globally, poor quality, indeterminate regulatory functions and lack of reforms. Methods: We undertake a qualitative investigation to understand the experiences and perceptions of nurse-midwife leaders on midwifery and nursing regulatory systems in India and further examine their influence on midwifery education and development. Thirty-four in-depth interviews were conducted with senior midwifery and nursing leaders representing administration, advocacy, education, regulation, research and service provision. Results: Our findings shows a lack of importance accorded to midwifery roles within the nursing system. The councils and statutes do not adequately reflect midwifery practice, and hence they are a barrier to good quality care provision. The lack of amendment of Acts and lack of representation of midwives and nurses in key governance positions in councils and committees have restrained or undermined leadership positions, which in turn has also impaired the growth of the profession. The regulatory framework standards for midwifery and nursing education in private institutions appeared imprudent with lack of opportunities for practice and unfair assessment practices. Discrimination against midwifery and nursing students was rampant in the education system in public and private institutions, with limited opportunities for clinical practice when compared to medical students. Conclusions: The study concludes with a reform measure including a recommendation for implementing direct-entry midwifery education, empowering midwives and nurses with autonomy, decision-making powers within health care and workforce governance.

Objectives: To review the scientific literature on the role of the nurse in Penitentiary Institutions through the study of care training and ethical implications when offering quality care to the prison population. Material and method: An integrative review was carried out in Medline, SciELO and LILACS databases. The MeSH and DeCS terms used were: nurse’s role, nursing, nurse, nursing education, prison, ethics, ethical issues, job satisfaction, enfermeria, penitenciaria, health professionals, nursing care. The types of studies included in this work are literature reviews, and qualitative, quantitative and mixed studies. The CASPe tool was used to assess the methodological quality of selected literature. The review period was October, November and December 2019. Results: A total of 264 articles were obtained, of which 98 were chosen after applying filters corresponding to each database and after discarding duplicate articles. The title and abstract of these articles were read and the established selection criteria were applied, to obtain 18 studies. Finally, after critical reading, 15 articles were selected for this work. Discussion: The role of the prison nurse is generally unknown. Nursing undergraduate training in this area is limited, exposing a specific training need, which may help these professionals to deal with ethical issues that they may find in their practice, as well as to improve the quality of care for the prison population.
