National Practice Problem Exploration

  

National Practice Problem Exploration

According to the Global Burden of Disease Research, one of the major practice problems in the world is diabetes (Murray, Abbafati, Abbas, Abbasi, Abbasi-Kangevari,Abd-Allah, Aboyans, 2020). Diabetes is a disorder that results from the less production of insulin or no production of insulin. Insulin is very important in controlling the blood sugar level; thus, patients with diabetes have a problem with high sugar levels in their bloodstream. This paper discusses the impacts of diabetes on nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided. It also identifies the national-level key stakeholders who are affected by diabetes and stakeholders involved in the resolution. Lastly, the paper provides clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in diabetes management.

Impact

The practice problem of managing diabetes impact the nurses and their role. They are forced to educate the general population of healthy life practices and styles that are useful in preventing diabetes. It also impacts health organizations because the management of diabetes needs a lot of policies and interventions that need to be put in place by health organizations. This practice problem also affects nursing care because it requires a lot of nursing care attention, thus overburdening the few nurses we have. Lastly, due to the increasing diabetes cases and high demand for its care, the quality of care provided might be substandard due to work overload. However, the use of evidence-based practice and other policies such as the ACA provides the opportunity of improving the quality of care being provided to diabetic patients.

Stakeholders Involved

Various stakeholders are involved in the management and control of diabetes. One such stakeholder is the patients. The patients have the role of self-care and adherence to the health instructions provided by healthcare providers. Healthcare providers such as nurses and many others are also vital stakeholders in the national management of diabetes. They provide health education and care for the patients. They also advocate for policy formulations that enhance the care for diabetic patients. Family members and friends of diabetic patients are also important stakeholders because they help provide home care to patients (Bennett, Robbins, Bayliss, Wilson, Tabano, Mularski & Li, 2017). National health institutions such as CDC are also important stakeholders because they provide policies and guidelines that effectively manage diabetes. The government’s political goodwill to support the healthcare organizations and the patients also makes them part of the national stakeholders in the management of diabetes.

Clinical Practice Guidelines and Diabetes Management

Some of the clinical practice guidelines provided in the management of diabetes has been based on evidence-based practice. However, a lot of interventions need to be done to promote the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Some of the interventions that can be made include an intensified national campaign informing and enlightening the population on how to prevent and manage diabetes. Policies that reduce the cost of care and diabetes management are also essential because diabetes is a lifelong problem, and it requires a lot of resources. There is also the need to integrate technological advancement in the management of diabetes.

In conclusion, diabetes management is a major practice problem that affects nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care. It requires several stakeholders such as patients, healthcare providers, policymaking institutions and the government. There is also a need to enhance the interventions process, such as using technology, policy formulation and creating awareness on prevention and management of diabetes.

Workplace Environment Assessment

 

Workplace Environment Assessment

How healthy is your workplace?

You may think your current organization operates seamlessly, or you may feel it has many issues. You may experience or even observe things that give you pause. Yet, much as you wouldn’t try to determine the health of a patient through mere observation, you should not attempt to gauge the health of your work environment based on observation and opinion. Often, there are issues you perceive as problems that others do not; similarly, issues may run much deeper than leadership recognizes.

There are many factors and measures that may impact organizational health. Among these is civility. While an organization can institute policies designed to promote such things as civility, how can it be sure these are managed effectively? In this Discussion, you will examine the use of tools in measuring workplace civility.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
  • Review and complete the Work Environment Assessment Template in the Resources.

By Day 3 of Week 7

Post a brief description of the results of your Work Environment Assessment. Based on the results, how civil is your workplace? Explain why your workplace is or is not civil. Then, describe a situation where you have experienced incivility in the workplace. How was this addressed? Be specific and provide examples.

Nursing Project

Evaluation of Plan Effectiveness Criteria

Over the past nine weeks, you selected an aggregate and conducted a risk assessment of its health, developed a care plan to address those health risks, planned to implement one intervention in a small group from the aggregate, and considered the effectiveness of the intervention on the health of the small group. It is time now for you to present your final submission of this Capstone project.

There are two parts to this assignment.

Part 1: A 10-15 slide power point presentation addressing the following:

  • A detailed description of the aggregate including strengths and weaknesses
  • A risk assessment of the aggregate
  • Diagnoses based on the risk assessment
  • A detailed care plan for the aggregate
  • A description of at least one intervention that was implemented (or the implementation itself if presented as a power point)

Part 2: In a Microsoft Word document of 3-4 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the evaluation process of the intervention(s) you implemented.

Include the following in your paper:

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention:

  • Did I implement the intervention as planned? If not, what were the reasons?
  • Interview/measure outcomes for two or three members of your group to determine/measure the effectiveness of the intervention(s).
    • Include transcripts of the interviews with the participants from the group in the appendix of your paper.
  • Finally, compare the projected effectiveness of your plan before implementation with the actual effectiveness after implementation.
    • Are there visible signs of success (for example, reduced health issues)? If yes, describe. If no, describe what signs you would anticipate and rationale for no change.
  • You may want to use the responses to the above two criteria to measure the actual effectiveness of the intervention.
  • Conclusion
  • Cited at least two scholarly references

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format.
