Ogechi L.
A concise definition has been assigned to the terms practice gap in the introductory section. The gap identified by Ogechi happens to be ineffective communication between organizational leadership and subordinate staff. It is important to note that as my colleague indicates, there are a wide range of concerns that bedevil the nursing profession. One of the challenges that my colleague has highlighted happens to be burnout. Some of the other nursing challenges that have been identified in literature include; risk of injury and/or infection, workplace violence, etc. (Huston, 2013). My colleague indicates that poor communication injures meaningful relationship between first-line nurse managers and nurses. This could end up having a negative impact on patient outcomes. It is for this reason that Jankelova and Jankiakova (2021) are categorical that the competence of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) in communication is a prerequisite for the quality of health care provided the role of communication in promoting organizational efficiency is increasingly recognized and emphasized (346).

According to Touloumakos and Barrable (2020), adverse childhood experiences are a prominent feature in most western settings. In the words of the authors, ACEs and the associated experience of chronic stress have been consistently linked with a variety of negative physical and psychological health outcomes across the lifespan (78). This is an assertion collaborated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC (2021) which is categorical that ACEs could have a significant effect on future violence perpetration as well as victimization. For this reason, the relevance of ensuring that…

Nursing Informatics NEW COMPETENCIES Nursing informatics or NI is a field specialty that blends and integrates the nursing, computer and information sciences in managing and transferring information and insights in nursing (Anderson, 2008; Coleman et al., 2010). It is aimed at assisting in the decision-making function of patients, nurses and other participants in patient care through information structures, processes and technology. Nurses who integrate this specialty into their regular practice are called
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately
Nursing Across Theories Nursing is a core concept that is common across contemporary nursing theories. Even though the definitions, applications, and philosophies are different with each theory, the concept of nursing plays a vital role in each one. Contemporary theories came about when the teaching of nursing students was not sufficient to the performances of what the nurses were being taught in schools and ultimately affecting patient care in the long
Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture. "The minute-to-minute care and monitoring of critically ill patients requires nurses to collect, analyze, and react to
Nursing informatics has been defined as, "a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice" (Shuler, 2011). The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in the information system development, from a feasibility study to the maintenance of the completed system (Rouse, 2009). With these
Nursing Research Value of Research to Nursing Nursing is different from other health care professions. It has a large scope for practicing therefore it is necessary to understand theory in order to provide a strong framework for understanding of this profession. The daily practice of nursing contributes to a nursing practice theory, which can be empirically tested. A quantitative nursing research has three levels such as descriptive, co-relational and experimental. Therefore nurses
