Abstract

In this systematic review, Robin P. Newhouse, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, and co-authors compare APRN processes and outcomes to those of physician providers. Sixty-nine studies published between 1990 and 2008 were analyzed and 28 outcomes were summarized for nurses practicing in APRN roles. Newhouse and her co-authors describe patient outcomes for each of three groups: nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives and clinical nurse specialists. Outcomes with similar or better grades than those of physician comparison groups include: Nurse practitioners: Glucose control, lipid control, patient satisfaction, ...

 

Social Media Use in the United States: Implications for Health Communication

  [CiTO]
Journal of Medical Internet Research, Vol. 11, No. 4. (27 November 2009), e48, doi:10.2196/jmir.1249

Abstract

Given the rapid changes in the communication landscape brought about by participative Internet use and social media, it is important to develop a better understanding of these technologies and their impact on health communication. The first step in this effort is to identify the characteristics of current social media users. Up-to-date reporting of current social media use will help monitor the growth of social media ...

 

Overconfidence as a Cause of Diagnostic Error in Medicine

  [CiTO]
The American Journal of Medicine In Diagnostic Error: Is Overconfidence the Problem, Vol. 121, No. 5. (May 2008), pp. S2-S23, doi:10.1016/j.amjmed.2008.01.001

Abstract

The great majority of medical diagnoses are made using automatic, efficient cognitive processes, and these diagnoses are correct most of the time. This analytic review concerns the exceptions: the times when these cognitive processes fail and the final diagnosis is missed or wrong. We argue that physicians in general underappreciate the likelihood that their diagnoses are wrong and that this tendency to overconfidence is related to both intrinsic and systemically reinforced factors. We present a comprehensive review of the available literature ...

Abstract

Only behavior management therapies, specific types of caregiver and residential care staff education, and possibly cognitive stimulation appear to have lasting effectiveness for the management of dementia-associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. Lack of evidence regarding other therapies is not evidence of lack of efficacy. Conclusions are limited because of the paucity of high-quality research (only nine level-1 studies were identified). More high-quality investigation is needed. ...

Abstract

To improve the quality of end-of-life care, general practitioner (GP) awareness of where their patients prefer to die is important. To examine GP awareness of patients' preferred place of death (POD), associated patient- and care-related characteristics, and the congruence between preferred and actual POD in The Netherlands, a mortality follow-back study was conducted between January 2005 and December 2006. Standardized registration forms were used to collect data on all nonsudden deaths (n=637) by means of the Dutch Sentinel Network, a nationally ...

Abstract

Although stroke is acknowledged as a long-term condition, population estimates of outcomes longer term are lacking. Such estimates would be useful for planning health services and developing research that might ultimately improve outcomes. This burden of disease study provides population-based estimates of outcomes with a focus on disability, cognition, and psychological outcomes up to 10 y after initial stroke event in a multi-ethnic European population. Data were collected from the population-based South London Stroke Register, a prospective population-based register documenting all ...

Abstract

Pseudoscience, superstitions, and quackery are serious problems that threaten public health and in which many variables are involved. Psychology, however, has much to say about them, as it is the illusory perceptions of causality of so many people that needs to be understood. The proposal we put forward is that these illusions arise from the normal functioning of the cognitive system when trying to associate causes and effects. Thus, we propose to apply basic research and theories on causal learning to ...

 

Systematic review of the empirical evidence of study publication bias and outcome reporting bias.

  [CiTO]
PloS one, Vol. 3, No. 8. (28 August 2008), e3081, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0003081

Abstract

The increased use of meta-analysis in systematic reviews of healthcare interventions has highlighted several types of bias that can arise during the completion of a randomised controlled trial. Study publication bias has been recognised as a potential threat to the validity of meta-analysis and can make the readily available evidence unreliable for decision making. Until recently, outcome reporting bias has received less attention. ...

PloS one, Vol. 6, No. 4. (13 April 2011), e18395, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0018395

Abstract

Daily cycles of sleep/wake, hormones, and physiological processes are often misaligned with behavioral patterns during shift work, leading to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular/metabolic/gastrointestinal disorders, some types of cancer, and mental disorders including depression and anxiety. It is unclear how sleep timing, chronotype, and circadian clock gene variation contribute to adaptation to shift work. ...

Background: The Vivian Bullwinkel Oration honours the life and work of an extraordinary nurse. Given her story and that of her World War II colleagues, the topic of nursing heroism in the 21st century could not be more germane.DiscussionIs heroism a legitimate part of nursing, or are nurses simply 'just doing their job' even when facing extreme personal danger? In this paper I explore the place and relevance of heroism in contemporary nursing. I propose that nursing heroism deserves ...

Abstract

Compassion unites people during times of suffering and distress. Unfortunately, compassion cannot take away suffering.Why then, is compassion important for people who suffer? Nurses work in a domain where human suffering is evidently present. In order to give meaning to compassion in the domain of professional care, it is necessary to describe what compassion is. The purpose of this paper is to explore questions and contradictions in the debate on compassion related to nursing care. The paper reviews classical philosophers as ...

Abstract

An important problem exists in the interpretation of modern medical research data: Biological understanding and previous research play little formal role in the interpretation of quantitative results. This phenomenon is manifest in the discussion sections of research articles and ultimately can affect the reliability of conclusions. The standard statistical approach has created this situation by promoting the illusion that conclusions can be produced with certain ...

Abstract

Intravenous doses of medications require formulations that permit accurate preparation and administration. Current equipment does not permit accurate measurement of volumes less than 0.1 mL. In a study of four hypothetical standard pediatric patients, we found that 28 common medications required less than 0.1 mL of available formulation to prepare the dose. In a clinical study of actual use in a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU), 5245 (7.4%) of 71 218 intravenous doses required preparation from less than 0.1 mL of ...

Abstract

Urinary and fecal incontinence are comorbid conditions affecting over 50% of nursing home residents. Management should focus on identifying and treating underlying causes. Despite appropriate management, residents may remain incontinent because of dementia and health- or restraint-related immobility. This article reviews the results of studies that have documented how prompted voiding programs can significantly reduce urinary and fecal incontinence, particularly if the intervention includes dietary and exercise components. Documentation of noninvasive and efficacious interventions by randomized, controlled trials and the labor ...

Nutrition & Metabolism, Vol. 7, No. 1. (19 January 2010), 4, doi:10.1186/1743-7075-7-4

Abstract
