Download or read book Touch written by Brian Gene Evans and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a shorter version of my first "To Nurse Means to Nurture" that I have written to put special emphasis on "touch" and how it applies to nurses. First, I ran into nurses that said, "It's not in my job description to comfort my patients" in the past 3 years. When I proved them wrong, they said, "Yes, but that does not include physical contact. No hugging and no touching. It's not in our job description." I wrote this book to show you that the direct opposite is true. You will see references to "touch" and "touch therapy" and "comfort" used several times over in various college textbooks of nursing, especially Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition, Potter and Perry, Mosby Elsevier, 2009 and my notes on nurse education videos I have seen with my own eyes that actually show female nurses in action "touching" both male and female middle aged patients who are not dying but just having procedures done by "rubbing their heads", "holding their hands", "patting their shoulders", and "rubbing their shoulders" to comfort them through needle sticks and procedures. St. Jude's Hospital Commercials also show their female nurses doing all of these same things for both their male and female kid patients as well as "hugging" them and "putting their arm around them" in addition to the hand holds, head rubs, and shoulder pats. They do it all. The Health Care Career Vision DVD from 2008 says, "Nurses need to be comfortable "touching" their patients if they are to work with them. Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition, Potter and Perry, Mosby Elsevier 2009 says this very same thing. It continually encourages touch and touch therapy and says that the "patient's needs take priority over the nurses' needs and the patient's needs are to be met above that of the nurses." It constantly tells them to comfort them and touch them as well as does 'Basic Psychophysiologic Nursing from 1979 and a few other sources. So, does the AARP magazine in an article about Dr. Meir trying to change the face of the medical community to make them more of a palliative care team and comfort their patients rather than treat them like objects, and the article from "The Power of Touch" from December 2015-January 2016s edition. I already had dictionary and encyclopedia references to nurses comforting their patients, and "to nurse means to nurture" in the dictionary. Because these nurses insist that comfort "does not" include physical contact, I have included dozens of comments on "Touch" and "Touch Therapy" from these sources and others. Other videos also showed nurses hugging patients and rubbing their heads and holding their hands. There are even a slew of pictures on the internet of Nursing Hugging their Patients when you type that in or comforting their patients if you type that in. It's not anything new. They've always done it, and what makes them think they haven't I don't know. You're not a bunch of professionals from a firm taking care of robots, you are nurses and you are the caretakers of those in your care and you are the "mother surrogates" of the patients in your care and you are to show them the same affection and attention as their own mother would as stated by Lisa Newton who defends the traditional role of the nurse. I hope this solves this dilemma of this "no touch" nursing philosophy everybody has and makes them see the light to the true meaning of nursing. Please read my book and be enlightened as to what the profession of nursing really entails. Thanks. Your friend, Brian Gene Evans

Download or read book A Nurse Abroad written by Anne Watts and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moving and heartwarming memoir of a British nurse who has spent her life working in the world's most remote and hostile environments In the early 1960s, Anne Watts was a newly qualified nurse, eager to use her skills. Her father expected her to work locally, not too far from North Wales, where Anne had grown up, and to then settle down and have children. However, Anne was a 'chip off the old block' who had inherited her father's adventurous spirit and at the first opportunity she set sail for Canada, to work in the remote stations in the frozen north of the country. She found a placement easily, one of only a couple of women to work among the indigenous peoples who, in those days, were called Eskimos. With the whole world to explore, Anne later headed for Alice Springs in the Australian outback. She speaks eloquently about what it was like to be a nurse and midwife among a tough cattle-ranching community who lived, not always harmoniously, in close proximity with Australia's Aboriginal people. Working with native peoples, Anne's eyes were opened to their skills at surviving the harshest of environments, but also to the prejudices they suffered. Forty years later, Anne returned to both countries to see how life has changed in Eskimo Point and Alice Springs, and what has become of its people and landscape.
Download or read book A Nurse's Story written by Louise Curtis and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving, honest and inspiring – this is a nurse’s true story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis. Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. In A Nurse’s Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times. 'An important memoir that we all need to read right now.' – Closer
Book Synopsis Utilizing the Butterfly Hug to Reduce Distress in Emergency Department Nurses by : Darian Hawke
Download or read book Utilizing the Butterfly Hug to Reduce Distress in Emergency Department Nurses written by Darian Hawke and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Emergency department (ED) nurses are experiencing high levels of job-related distress. However, only some studies have examined ways to mitigate this distress. This project aimed to assess ED nurse distress and to reduce that distress with the Butterfly Hug. ED nurses were taught how to use the Butterfly Hug, a low-intensity, self-administered eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) based bilateral stimulation technique to reduce distress. The Need for Recovery (NFR) Scale was used to assess their distress level pre- and post-test. Seven participants completed this project. One month after being taught to ED nurses, the results show that participants who used the Butterfly Hug multiple times experienced less distress over the subsequent month compared to participants who did not use the Butterfly Hug. In the current project, the Butterfly Hug reduced distress significantly in ED nurses "--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Taking Care of Our Own by : Sherry N. Mong
Download or read book Taking Care of Our Own written by Sherry N. Mong and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixing personal history, interviewee voices, and academic theory from the fields of care work, the sociology of work, medical sociology, and nursing, Taking Care of Our Own introduces us to the hidden world of family caregivers. Using a multidimensional approach, Sherry N. Mong seeks to understand and analyze the types of skilled work that family caregivers do, the processes through which they learn and negotiate new skills, and the meanings that both caregivers and nurses attach to their care work. Taking Care of Our Own is based on sixty-two in-depth interviews with family caregivers, home and community health care nurses, and other expert observers to provide a lens through which in-home care processes are analyzed, while also exploring how caregivers learn necessary procedures. Further, Mong examines the emotional labor of caregiving, as well as the identities of caregivers and nurses who are key players in the labor process, and gives attention to the ways in which the labor is transferred from medical professionals to family caregivers.
