TEXTO
Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life from conception to death. Nurses work in a large variety of specialties where they work independently and as part of a team to assess, plan, implement and evaluate care. Nursing Science is a field of knowledge based on the contributions of nursing scientist through peer-reviewed scholarly journals and evidenced-based practice. Nurses practice in a wide range of settings, from hospitals to visiting people in their homes and caring for them in schools to research in pharmaceutical companies. Nurses work in occupational health settings (also called industrial health settings), free-standing clinics and physician offices, nurse-led clinics, long-term care facilities and camps. They also work on cruise ships and in military service. Nurses act as advisers and consultants to the health care and insurance industries. Many nurses also work in the health advocacy and patient advocacy fields at companies such as Health Advocate, Inc. helping in a variety of clinical and administrative issues. Some are attorneys and others work with attorneys as legal nurse consultants, reviewing patient records to assure that adequate care was provided and testifying in court. Nurses can work on a temporary basis, which involves doing shifts without a contract in a variety of settings, sometimes known as per diem nursing, agency nursing or travel nursing. Nurses work as researchers in laboratories, universities, and research institutions. Nurses have also been delving into the world of informatics, acting as consultants to the creation of computerized charting programs and other software. Internationally, there is a serious shortage of nurses. One reason for this shortage is due to the work environment in which nurses practice. In a recent review of the empirical human factors and ergonomic literature specific to nursing performance, nurses were found to work in generally poor environmental conditions. DeLucia, Ott, & Palmieri (2009) concluded, "the profession of nursing as a whole is overloaded because there is a nursing shortage. Individual nurses are overloaded. They are overloaded by the number of patients they oversee. They are overloaded by the number of tasks they perform. They work under cognitive overload, engaging in multitasking and encountering frequent interruptions. They work under perceptual overload due to medical devices that do not meet perceptual requirements (Morrow et al., 2005), insufficient lighting, illegible handwriting, and poor labeling designs. They work under physical overload due to long work hours and patient handling demands which leads to a high incidence of MSDs. In short, the nursing work system often exceeds the limits and capabilities of human performance. HF/E research should be conducted to determine how these overloads can be reduced and how the limits and capabilities of performance can be accommodated. Ironically, the literature shows that there are studies to determine whether nurses can effectively perform tasks ordinarily performed by physicians. Results indicate that nurses can perform such tasks effectively. Nevertheless, already overloaded nurses should not be given more tasks to perform. When reducing the overload, it should be kept in mind that underloads also can be detrimental to performance (Mackworth, 1948). Both overloads and underloads are important to consider for improving performance." Each county/ state in which a nurse is licenced has laws concerning how many patients one nurse can attend to (depending on the accuity of the patients needs).

TEXTO
No More Tears
Pediatric caregivers create drug-free techniques to reduce the ‘ouch
factor’ for kids before, during, and after surgery
By Janet Kilgore.
November 15, 2004
A child in pain is a common
sight for health care professionals. Medications bring relief, but in the last
decade, pain management has come into its own. Analgesics are no longer the
only solution for pediatric patients.
Despite a lack of scientific
studies, innovative alternatives were developed. Many hospitals initiated pain
management programs to train staff in relief-giving techniques. In the past 15
years, programs to manage pediatric patients’ pain have sprung up throughout Texas . Analgesics were
not replaced; rather, a combination of pain medication and distraction
techniques proved most effective.
Since 1995, Texas Children’s
Hospital in Houston
has worked with psychologists to find ways to help children cope with surgery
and postoperative pain. In addition to properly managed medication, they
recommend distraction, soothing techniques, and reducing anxiety through
thorough preparation. Distraction techniques include blowing bubbles, listening
to stories, watching videos, or playing video games. Soothing the senses uses
anything from an infant pacifier to gentle massage. Taking time to explain what
to expect before a procedure can control or reduce anxiety. Choices, such as
choosing a bandage color, often give the child a sense of control.
The patient’s family plays a
vital role in these treatments. “The family has to believe it can help and work
with the child. We spend a lot of time preparing the parents,” says Nancy
Glass, MD, of TCH. Although success depends partially on the severity and
acuity of the pain, Glass notes it is important for treatment to initiate
immediately and continue through recovery. She adds, “Benefits increase with
time, practice, and with the parents’ level of acceptance of the alternate
methods.”
Children’s Medical Center
in Dallas
created its Pain Resource Nurse Program two years ago. Patricia “Trish”
Rittgers, RN, was one of the first nurses to receive the training, which
included drug and nondrug interventions. In addition to pain management for
inpatients, Rittgers uses relaxation techniques in the outpatient clinic, too.
Referring to the “cold spray” she uses for immunizations and lab draws,
Rittgers says, “I refer to it as magic cream. Some pain management is mind over
matter.”
Austin/Travis County Emergency
Medical Services personnel in Central Texas
have used teddy bears, raised from donations from local organizations, to
comfort injured children since 1988. “The toys help calm and distract the
children, something familiar in an unfamiliar situation,” says Director Richard
Herrington.
Collected through the EMS ’ annual Teddy Bear Picnic, the “fist-sized bears work
best. They’re easier to store in the vehicles and don’t hamper treatment,” says
Warren Hassinger of the Austin/Travis County EMS. Kept clean in plastic bags in
EMS trucks and Starflight helicopters, the
little bears are ready to be hugged by a frightened child. They go with the
patient into the emergency department, too. The bears reduce stress and trauma,
which means a greater ability to cope with pain and shock.
When Children’s Hospital in
Dunn’s version of an American
Indian rain stick, made of clear plastic and filled with colorful beads, may
not summon showers, but the sounds and colors are part of the musical magic she
brings to pediatric patients. She and her guitar are welcome visitors. “A baby
smiled for the first time in three days when I played my guitar for him. His
mother burst into tears,” Dunn says. “And a young oncology patient has started
writing his own songs. It’s an emotional
outlet.”
Whatever the method — rain
sticks, video games, or gentle massage — today’s pediatric caregivers use
innovative techniques to relieve pain in their young patients.
