The Positive Impact of Delegation in Nursing: A Literature Review

Introduction: Good communication with a leader is needed in the delegation process. It is necessary to review the positive impact of delegation. This is expected so that nurses can implement delegation optimally by knowing the positive effects of delegation so that they can carry out good nursing duties and avoid overlapping assignments and late handling. Method: Searching from textbooks, ebooks, and journals, as well as research (original research) related to the positive impact of delegation. Results: Based on the literature review that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the positive impact of delegation in nursing can later be an opportunity for nurses to learn a lot about leadership skills and clarify the strengths and abilities of nurses to use these talents to improve management skills. Conclusion: Based on the literature review that has been carried out, it can be concluded that there are many positive effects of delegation in nursing that can be obtained, and later it can be an opportunity for nurses to learn a lot about leadership skills, clarify the strengths and abilities of nurses to use these talents to improve management skills.

Impaired self-monitoring ability on reaction times of psychomotor vigilance task of nurses after a night shift

ABSTRACT The cognitive ability to self-monitor one’s current performance is important for hospital nurses to maintain safety and health. However, studies on the effects of rotating shift work on self-monitoring ability are insufficient. We examined the differences in self-monitoring accuracy across shifts in a rotating three-shift system among 30 female ward nurses (mean age 28.2 years). Their self-monitoring ability was calculated by subtracting the predicted reaction times of the psychomotor vigilance task performed just before exiting the workplace from the actual reaction times. A mixed-effect model was employed to assess the effects of shift, awake hours, and prior sleep duration on self-monitoring ability. We observed impaired self-monitoring ability in nurses, particularly after the night shift. Although actual performance remained high across all shifts, their self-predictions on reaction times became pessimistic in the night shift, resulting in a difference of approximately−100 msec. The effect of the shift on self-monitoring was obvious even after adjusting for sleep duration and hours awake. Our findings indicate that the misalignment between their working hours and circadian rhythms may affect even professional nurses. Occupational management that emphasizes maintaining circadian rhythms will improve the safety and health of nurses.

IMPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL ABILITY OF NURSES IN NURSING INTERVENTIONS IN HOSPITALS THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING PRACTICE WORKSHOP

The evidence-based approach in Indonesia has not yet developed, including the use of research results in practice. Thus it is necessary to grow the attitude, willingness, awareness, and ability to develop EBNP or transform research results into practice so that nurses can improve the "quality of care" for patients. The purpose of community service activities is to improve the professional ability of nurses at RSUD Dr. Sososdoro Djatikoesoemo Bojonegoro in providing Nursing Care through an Evidence-based Nursing Practice (EBNP) workshop. The workshop took place on May 24-25, 2022, and was attended by 30 nurses from the Inpatient Installation. Nurses' knowledge was measured by an evaluation that use pre-test and post-test methods. The skills evaluation was conducted online on July 23, 2022, by presenting the EBNP project plan to be carried out. Community service participants are nurses at RSUD Dr. R Sosodoro Djatikoesoemo Bojonegoro who has characteristics of most (45%) nurses having an age between 41-50 years and having a working period of 11-20 years (44%), and most (67%) educated in Nurses. The functional positions of the most community service participants are Associate Expert nurses at 37% and there are Main Expert Nurses as much as 4%. The results of the activities through the Workshop showed an increase in the capacity of nurses regarding EBNP who previously had very poor knowledge of 19 people (63.3%) and increased to very good knowledge of 12 people (40.0%). Nurses who initially lacked knowledge increased to 3 people (10.0%) with good knowledge, but there were still 7 people (23.3%) who lacked knowledge. However, not all nurses have participated in the EBNP workshop, so it is necessary to conduct a workshop for the next generation so that all nurses can carry out nursing interventions based on evidence-based.

Upaya Peningkatan Kemampuan Perawat dalam Pemberdayaan Keluarga untuk Meningkatkan Ketahanan Keluarga Orang dengan Skizofrenia (ODS) di Kota Padang

People living with schizophrenia in West Sumatra are currently experiencing an increase. In 2018 the prevalence of schizophrenia reached 9 per 1000 households. This prevalence is above the national average. The problem that often occurs in people with schizophrenia (ODS) is relapse. High relapse also occurs in ODS in Padang. It was because of non-compliance with treatment and a lack of support from the family. Inadequate support is the impact of the low resilience of the ODS family. Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to increase the ability of nurses to empower families to increase family resilience so that ODS relapse is low. The method used in this community service is the provision of training. The training was given to 14 nurses holding mental programs at the Padang City Health Centers. The training was carried out for three days at the Faculty of Nursing Unand Padang. Community service resulted in nurses' knowledge in empowering ODS families before training was an average of 50.75, and nurses' knowledge after training was an average of 62.78, increasing by 12.03 points. It hopes that nurses could empower ODS families through home visits so that every ODS family member has the knowledge and ability to care for ODS so that family resilience increases and relapse can prevent.

Model construction of factors influencing intensive care unit nurses' medical device-related pressure injury knowledge, attitude, and practice.

The ability of knowledge, attitude, and practice of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to perform medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) can affect the incidence of MDRPI in ICU patients. Therefore, in order to improve ICU nurses' understanding and nursing ability of MDRPIs, we investigated the non-linear relationship (synergistic and superimposed relationships) between the factors influencing ICU nurses' ability of knowledge, attitude, and practice. A Clinical Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for the Prevention of MDRPI in Critically Ill Patients was administered to 322 ICU nurses from tertiary hospitals in China from January 1, 2022 to June 31, 2022. After the questionnaire was distributed, the data were collected and sorted out, and the corresponding statistical analysis and modelling software was used to analyse the data. IBM SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis on the data, so as to screen the statistically significant influencing factors. IBM SPSS Modeler18.0 software was used to construct a decision tree model of the factors influencing MDRPI knowledge, attitude, and practice of ICU nurses, and ROC curves were plotted to analyse the accuracy of the model. The results showed that the overall passing rate of ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice score was 72%. The statistically significant predictor variables ranked in importance were education background (0.35), training (0.31), years of working (0.24), and professional title (0.10). AUC=0.718, model prediction performance is good. There is a synergistic and superimposed relationship between high education background, attended training, high years of working and high professional title. Nurses with the above factors have strong MDRPI knowledge, attitude, and practice ability. Therefore, nursing managers can develop a reasonable and effective scheduling system and MDRPI training program based on the study results. The ultimate goal is to improve the ability of ICU nurses to know and act on MDRPI and to reduce the incidence of MDRPI in ICU patients.

The Effect of Training the Nonverbal Pain Scale (NVPS) on the Ability of Nurses to Monitor the Pain of Patients in the Intensive Care Unit.

Pain in the intensive care unit is a silent fact. Considering the positive features of the nonverbal pain scale (NVPS) in assessing the pain of non-verbal patients, this study investigates the effect of training the NVPS on the ability of nurses to monitor the pain of patients in the intensive care unit. In this semi-experimental study, the effect of the NVPS training on the ability of 50 intensive care unit (ICU) nurses of Imam Khomeini Hospital affiliated to Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences was investigated. At first, the ability to diagnose the presence and intensity of pain was checked by a checklist. Then the nurses were taught how to use the scale correctly. After 2 weeks of training completion, the ability to correctly use the scale was measured again. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (McNemar, Chi-squared, paired t-test, and Fisher's exact test) in SPSS software version 16. After the training on the non-verbal pain scale, there was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in diagnosing the presence of pain related to changing the patient's position (p = 0.023). Also, nurses ability to diagnose pain intensity during airway suction increased fourfold and for physiotherapy procedures twice as much as before training. Nonverbal pain scale training improves ICU nurses ability in diagnosing the presence and severity of pain in nonverbal patients. Ghayem H, Heidari MR, Aghaei B, Norouzadeh R.

Effect of compassion fatigue on the caring ability of young psychiatric nurses: A dominance analysis and chain mediation model.

The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism by which three factors of compassion fatigue affect caring ability in young psychiatric nurses. We used the Professional Quality of Life Scale and Caring Ability Inventory to investigate 309 young nurses in three psychiatric hospitals in Heilongjiang. Dominance analysis and chain mediation model were performed to explore the effects of three factors of compassion fatigue on caring ability. (1) The three factors of compassion fatigue affected the caring ability of young in the order compassion satisfaction > burnout>secondary traumatic stress by dominance analysis; (2) burnout played a partially mediating effect between compassion satisfaction and caring ability; and (3) secondary traumatic stress and burnout had a chain mediating effect between compassion satisfaction and caring ability. Higher levels of compassion satisfaction had the strongest impact on the caring ability of young psychiatric nurses which could be mediated via burnout and secondary traumatic stress. No patient or public contribution.

Factors affecting the triage decision-making ability of emergency nurses in Northern China: A multi-center descriptive survey

IntroductionThe quality of triage decision-making is a prerequisite for priority treatment of critically ill patients and effective utilization of medical resources. Figuring out how to improve triage decision-making is still a topic around the global emergency department. Hence, this study aims to promote an understanding of triage priority care and clarify the elements influencing triage decision-making ability, offering reference for the future to improve the quality of triage decision-making. MethodA total of 404 emergency nurses from 11 tertiary hospitals in northern China were surveyed by questionnaire, of which 371 valid questionnaires were submitted (effective rate = 91.83 %). One hospital distributed the questionnaire face-to-face, and the other ten used online form. ResultPrior to occupying triage jobs, only a quarter of participants(25.30 %)were qualified. Less than half of emergency nurses (46.60 %) reported taking part in the triage training program. The emergency nurses' triage decision-making ability score was 166.50 ± 26.90(95 %CI 163.75,169.24) in northern China. Gender(P = 0.003), case discussion(P = 0.024), secondary assessment(P = 0.020)and knowledge of triage consensus(P = 0.027) are independent factors influencing triage decision-making ability. ConclusionEmergency triage practices are less implemented in northern China. The triage decision-making ability of emergency nurses in northern China is at a low level. Providing emergency nurses with diverse opportunities to develop their triage skills, finding effective triage training content, form, and frequency, strengthening implement triage consensus, and wisely managing triage nurse resources would improve triage decision-making.

The effect of seamless nursing combined with Roy adaptive psychological nursing on self-efficacy and bad mood of patients after acute abdomen surgery.

To explore the effect of seamless nursing combined with Roy adaptive psychological nursing on self-efficacy and bad mood of patients after acute abdomen surgery. According to the digital table method, 120 patients with acute abdomen who were treated and nursed in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected as prospective research objects, and they were divided into a control group and an observation group with 60 cases each. Among them, the control group carried out seamless nursing, and the observation group carried out Roy adaptive psychological nursing on this basis, and compared the effects of self-efficacy, nursing ability and bad mood of the 2 groups of patients after surgery. Before nursing, the self-efficacy scale, quality of life scores, nursing ability scores, as well as bad mood were not statistically significant between the 2 groups ( P > .05). After nursing, the self-efficacy scale and nursing ability scores in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group ( P < .05); the social interaction score, anxiety score and depression score were significantly lower than that in the control group ( P < .001). Seamless nursing combined with Roy adaptive psychological nursing can effectively improve the quality of life of patients after acute abdomen surgery, reduce unhealthy emotions, and improve the nursing ability and self-efficacy of patients after surgery. It has a certain reference for the nursing of patients after acute abdomen surgery.

Kebutuhan Perawat terhadap Pengembangan Kapasitas Leadership di Tatanan Pelayanan Kesehatan Komunitas

&#x0D; This study aims to analyze the needs of nurses for leadership development in community health service settings. The research method used in this literature review is a narrative review. The literature sources used in the article search process are databases from PubMed, EBSCO cinahl, and Google Scholar. The study's results show that nurse leadership capacity development analysis consists of leadership, commitment, resources, culture, spirituality, and technology. Capacity building is a process of developing and improving organizational resources' skills, talents, and capabilities as a necessity to grow the organization in an era of rapid change. Implementing capacity building for nurse leadership in the community has yet to run optimally. This has implications for an organizational structure that only works effectively due to weak coordination between nurses and other health workers. Commitment, communication, collaboration, and delegation of staff responsibilities are soft, and the use of health resources could be more optimal. Capacity building is an effort to improve the ability of nurses in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior. In conclusion, community leadership is different from specific organizations or individuals. Leadership in society must be able to quickly assess needs and trends, use all available data and information sources, then develop innovative actions, and plan and evaluate results using quality monitoring systems.&#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: Leadership, Community, Capacity Building, Nurse

Influence of workplace stress and social support on humanistic caring ability in Chinese nurses.

This study aimed to examine the relationships between how workplace stress and social support affect the level of humanistic caring ability in Chinese nurses. A cross-sectional study. The sample consists of 675 nurses working in major hospitals in China. Participants completed a set of self-reported measures, including the humanistic caring ability scale (HCAS), the Chinese nurse workplace stressor scale (CNWSS), the Chinese nurse stress response scale (CNSRS), and the Chinese nurse social support scale (CNSSS). Pearson's correlation analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were performed to investigate the relationships among studied variables. The result showed that HCAS was negatively correlated with CNWSS (r=-0.427, p < 0.01) and CNSRS (r=-0.480, p < 0.01), and was positively correlated with CNSSS (r=0.363, p < 0.01). Furthermore, a final model was conducted in which CNWSS has a strong direct effect on CNSRS (β=0.54, p < 0.01) and an indirect effect on HCAS (β=-0.138, p < 0.01), which was mediated by CNSRS and CNSSS.
