- Level of empowerment of hospitalized chronic heart failure patient(Gobierno de Navarra, 2021) Vazquez-Calatayud, M. (Mónica); Paloma-Mora, B. (Beatriz); Quesada, A. (A.); Rumeu-Casares, M.C. (María del Carmen); Olano-Lizarraga, M. (Maddi); Saracíbar-Razquin, M. (Maribel)Fundamento. Conocer el nivel de empoderamiento de las personas con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica hospitalizadas es crucial para identificar a las personas con un nivel de empoderamiento más bajo y fundamentar el diseño de estrategias efectivas para mejorar su control sobre las decisiones y acciones que afectan a su salud y bienestar. La falta de estudio de este fenómeno en esta población y contexto, sugiere que estos pacientes no están siendo atendidos adecuadamente. Material y métodos. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de empoderamiento del paciente con enfermedad crónica, traducido y validado al español, que consta de 47 ítems, agrupados en tres dimensiones: Actitud positiva y sentido del control, Toma de decisiones compartida e informada, y Búsqueda de información y compartir entre iguales. Fue distribuido para su cumplimentación en las 24 horas previas al alta hospitalaria. Resultados. Se recogieron 25 cuestionarios (81%). La puntuación global media de empoderamiento fue de 165,92 ± 20,9. La dimensión Actitud positiva y sentido de control fue la peor puntuada, con una media de 3,4 ± 0,5. Se encontró una relación inversa y débil entre el nivel de empoderamiento y la edad (rho=-0,240; p=0,000) y una relación débil y positiva con la supervivencia a los 10 años (rho=0,316; p=0,01). Conclusión. El nivel de empoderamiento de los pacientes de este estudio fue medio-alto. Las estrategias para abordar la atención de esta población deberían centrarse en trabajar su actitud respecto a la enfermedad y percepción de control de la situación e individualizarse conforme a la edad.
- Experiences of frontline nurse managers during the COVID-19: a qualitative study(Wiley, 2021) Esain, A. (Ainhoa); Vazquez-Calatayud, M. (Mónica); Paloma-Mora, B. (Beatriz); Rumeu-Casares, M.C. (María del Carmen); Regaira, E. (Elena); Oroviogoicoechea, C. (Cristina)Aim The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of Jordanian first-line nurse managers during COVID-19. Background Nurses are exposed to life-threatening occupational risks during COVID-19. Exploring the first-line nurse managers' experiences will help in designing health policies to better deal with such emerging crises. Methods A descriptive phenomenological study was conducted. A purposive sample was used to recruit 16 first-line nurse managers from Jordanian hospitals. Semistructured interviews were conducted. Phenomenological data analysis method was used to analyse the data. Results Four major themes emerged: (a) unprecedented pressure (first-line nurse managers revealed their suffering with the unprecedented demanding situations during COVID-19 pandemic); (b) strengthening system and resilience (nurse managers employed several strategies to strengthen the health system and enhance resilience); (c) building a supportive team (the presence of a robust supportive system is vital to deal with the pandemic); and (d) maturity during the crisis (exposure to a new experience developed nurse managers management skills and self-awareness). Conclusions The unprecedented pressure associated with COVID-19 drained first-line nurse managers physically and psychosocially. Providing adequately trained staff and medical equipment is important to better deal with crises. Implications for Nursing Management Strengthening emergency training and improving emergency response plans of hospitals are essential.
- Nursing students' experience of providing frontline COVID-19 support: A qualitative study(Wiley, 2021) Vazquez-Calatayud, M. (Mónica); Rumeu-Casares, M.C. (María del Carmen); Olano-Lizarraga, M. (Maddi); Regaira, E. (Elena)Understanding the unique experience of nursing students providing frontline support in COVID-19 hospital wards is crucial for the design of strategies to improve crisis management and mitigate future pandemic outbreaks. Limited research concerning this phenomenon has been published. This qualitative study aimed to understand the experience of providing support from COVID-19 frontline nursing students' perspective. Online interviews were conducted with nine nursing students from April to May 2020; interview data were analyzed by content analysis using Burnard's method. Six main categories emerged from the data analysis: “experiencing a rapid transition from student to professional,” “fear and uncertainty of the unknown,” “resilience throughout the crisis,” “sense of belonging to a team,” “shared responsibility,” and “importance of the profession.” Based on these findings, multicomponent strategies that function in parallel with practical contexts should be developed to enable students to diligently adapt their abilities to their new role and cope with health crises
- Caring international research collaborative: A five-country partnership to measure perception of nursing staffs' compassion fatigue, burnout, and caring for self(2015) Ehrenfeld, M. (Mally); Phaladze, N. (Nthabiseng); McNamara, M. (Martin); Rollins-Ganz, N. (Nancy); Nelson, J. (John); Treacy, M. (Margaret); Marshall, B. (Bob); Itzhaki, M. (Michal); Rumeu-Casares, M.C. (María del Carmen); Seboni, N.M. (Naomi M.); Larkin, P. (Phil); Fealy, G. (Gerard); Vernon,R. (Rachael); Dignam, D. (Denise)Partnering in research across disciplines and across countries can be challenging due to differing contexts of practice and culture. This study sought to demonstrate how central constructs that have application across disciplines and countries can be studied while concurrently considering context. Groups of nurses from Botswana, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, and Spain partnered to identify how to measure the constructs of caring for self, burnout, and compassion fatigue, replicating a study by Johnson (2012), who found that caring for self had a moderately strong negative relationship with both compassion fatigue and burnout. While these constructs were of interest to all five groups, the conversation of contextual influences varied. All five groups used the same instruments to measure the central constructs. Levels of burnout and compassion fatigue varied by country but were moderated by caring for self. Partnering across countries made it possible to understand that caring for self moderates the negative impact of burnout and compassion fatigue in all five countries. This study gives insight into methods for partnering across disciplines and contexts.
