The lack of familiarity with the landscape can be addressed through cultural immersion. Nurses need to integrate within the culture that they treat, familiarizing themselves with the common maladies and understanding the environmental factors that cause them. Nurses need to become part of the community, and if they show that they are committed to the local landscape, they will be more likely to engender commitment from the native population as well.
One strategy for advocating health care at the global level is for nurses to immerse themselves in communities in the developing world. After living amongst the native people, nurses would acquire a first-hand perspective of the health issues facing the people, and by having to respond to the environmental pressures themselves, they would gain credibility. Instead of restricting themselves to using expensive technology, nurses should visit the public themselves and communicate health care solutions that the people themselves can implement (Chen, 2012). Instead of relying on antibiotics and emergency rooms to...
They need to view their role not only as nurses but also as therapists -- this means that they must listen to the natives describe their health issues, and offer advice even if it has not been scientifically verified. More often than not, the scientific instincts of the nurse are superior to those of the native, and advice should be given even when it is simply a gut feeling. This approach is effective because it not only seeks to repair existing illness but also focuses on transmitting the valuable health care knowledge that nurses possess to the local populations of the developing world.

Nurses use the nursing process in the promotion of health, reduction of risk as well as management of disease in their daily lives. Yildirim and Ozkahraman (2011,p.257) noted that the nursing process has for along time been an integral component of the nursing practice. This is because it has been employed in problem solving exercises while thinking of plan of care as the very foundation for the professional practice in
Nurses' Practice Environments, Error Interception Practices and Inpatient Medication Errors (2012) Null hypothesis: There is no significant relationship between nurses' error interception practices and their practice environment. Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between nurses' error interception practices and their practice environment. Two frameworks were used in developing the theoretical foundation of the study: Error Theory and Nursing Organization and Outcomes Model. Error Theory is a framework developed to explain errors that occur

Nurses and Pain Management Pain management has always been a critical goal of health care workers. Strategies for improved pain management guidelines have been in place since the early 1990s, with the aim of allowing clinicians to improve pain management. However, research shows that patients in all age groups continue to experience needless pain, despite the guidelines and treatment availabilities. This paper examines the pain management strategies that could be employed by
Nurses' perceptions of shortage effects Nursing stats Statistical methods were not always explained or even mentioned in the methods section of the articles, but were often buried in the text of the results section or listed only as footnotes to tables. In several instances, no statistical procedure was specified, but the presence of a p value indicated that a test had been performed.
