Abstract

Background: Multimodal intervention is currently promoted to control blood pressure in patients with first ischemic stroke. However, a dearth of studies has examined the influence of the intervention among patients with ischemic stroke, particularly in Thailand. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the multimodal intervention on blood pressure in patients with first ischemic stroke. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty participants were randomly selected from two tertiary hospitals in Thailand. Eligible participants were randomly assigned into an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The experimental group was provided with the multimodal intervention, while the control group was given the usual care. Data were collected from May 2021 to October 2021 at baseline (pre-test), 4th week, 8th week, and 12th week using the demographic data form and sphygmomanometer. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, t-test, and repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The participants’ blood pressures after receiving the multimodal intervention were lower than those before receiving the multimodal intervention. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were statistically significantly decreased over time, starting from baseline to the 8th week and 12th week (p <0.001). In addition, the participants’ mean scores of systolic blood pressure (F (1, 58) = 4.059, p = 0.049) and diastolic blood pressure (F (1, 58) = 4.515, p = 0.038) were lower than the control group.   Conclusion: The multimodal intervention is effective in controlling blood pressure. Therefore, nurses should educate patients with ischemic stroke to manage systolic and diastolic blood pressure, facilitate the patient’s participation in the exercise program, and monitor the patients via telephone to continue blood pressure control.

Abstract

Background: Nurse team leaders encounter considerable ethical challenges that necessitate using effective strategies to overcome them. However, there is a lack of research exploring the experiences of nurse team leaders in Indonesia who face ethical dilemmas in their professional duties. Objective: This study aimed to explore nurse team leaders’ experiences regarding strategies and challenges in dealing with ethical problems in hospital settings in Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study employed a hermeneutic phenomenology design. Online semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2021 and February 2022 among 14 nurse team leaders selected using a snowball sampling from seven hospitals (three public and four private hospitals). Van Manen’s approach was used for data analysis. Results: The strategies for overcoming ethical dilemmas included (i) seeking the facts, (ii) stepping back, (iii) considering support, and (iv) standing by patients. The challenges for the nurse team leaders in resolving ethical problems consisted of (i) seniority, (ii) trust issue, and (iii) lack of reflection and ethics training. Conclusion: Nurse team leaders recognize their specific roles in the midst of ethical challenges and seek strategies to deal with them. However, a negative working environment might impact ethical behavior and compromise the provision of quality care. Therefore, it is imperative for hospital management to take note of these findings and address issues related to seniority by providing regular ethics training and group reflection sessions to maintain nurses' ethical knowledge in hospital practice. Such interventions can support nurse team leaders in resolving ethical dilemmas and provide a conducive environment for ethical decision-making, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The recovery-oriented service concept has been recognized for its impact on mental health practices and services. As the largest group of mental healthcare providers, mental health nurses are well-positioned to deliver recovery-oriented services but face challenges due to role ambiguity and identity issues. Therefore, clarifying the role and principles of mental health nursing is essential. Objective: This study aimed to identify essential nursing practices for individuals with schizophrenia in recovery-oriented mental health services. Design: The study utilized a five-step integrative review approach, including problem identification, literature search definition, critical analysis of methodological quality, data analysis, and data presentation. Data Sources: Multiple databases, such as ScienceDirect and Scopus, as well as online libraries and journals/publishers, including Sage journals, APA PsyNet, SpringerLink, PsychiatryOnline, Taylor & Francis Online, and Wiley Online Library, were searched. The search spanned from the inception of the recovery-oriented services concept in 1993 to 2022. Review Methods: Content and thematic analysis were employed to analyze and synthesize the findings from the included studies. Results: Twenty-four articles met the inclusion criteria. Two themes were identified: 1) Direct nursing care, consisting of six sub-themes: therapeutic nurse-patient relationship (TNPR), psychoeducation (PE), coping skill training (CST), cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), interventions to improve medication adherence (IMA), and social functioning (SF); and 2) Indirect nursing care. Conclusion: This study highlights the crucial role of nursing and nursing practices in recovery-oriented services. Mental health nurses prioritize person-centered care, therapeutic relationships, and collaboration with peer support workers to enhance treatment effectiveness. In addition, they focus on improving medication adherence, providing coping support, and promoting social capabilities, ultimately improving individuals’ quality of life. Aligning actions with recovery-oriented principles, mental health nurses emphasize empowerment and holistic care. Further research in this area will enhance the healthcare system and better support individuals on their recovery journey.
