Mehri Z, Kheiry F, Rakhshan M. Predictive influence of disease knowledge and hope on self-care behavior among adults with heart failure. JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION 2024; 13:211. [PMID: 39297120 PMCID: PMC11410167 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_743_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2024]
Abstract
Background Self-care, disease knowledge, and hope are critical concepts in health-related studies. Therefore, all three are considered solutions for controlling heart failure (HF) and reducing its complications. This study aimed to identify the predictive influence of disease knowledge and hope on self-care behavior among adults with HF. Materials and Methods This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study examined the data of 113 HF patients referred to the Imam Reza Clinic in Shiraz, Iran, in 2021. This study used HF patients' self-care instruments based on Orem's self-care theory, the HF Knowledge Scale-Persian version, and the Heart Hope Index-Persian version. The data were analyzed using the general linear model (GLM) and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results Of the 113 HF patients, 54.90% (n = 62) were male, and 45.10% (n = 51) were female. The analysis of the Pearson correlation coefficient indicated the presence of a positive and significant correlation between "self-care and hope" (r = 0.532, P = 0.0001), "HF knowledge and hope" (r = 0.432, P = 0.0001), and "self-care and HF knowledge" (r = 0.410, P = 0.0001). GLM showed that HF knowledge symptoms (P = 0.0001), hope (P = 0.0001), unemployed patients (P = 0.042), and housewife patients (P = 0.0001) predicted self-care behavior of HF patients. Conclusion Considering the positive and significant correlation between "self-care and HF knowledge," "self-care and hope," and "HF knowledge and hope," it seems necessary for doctors and nurses should pay attention to providing educational programs to increase HF knowledge to improve self-care and hope in HF patients.

Zhang Y. What is nursing in advanced nursing practice? Applying theories and models to advanced nursing practice-A discursive review. J Adv Nurs 2024. [PMID: 38742524 DOI: 10.1111/jan.16228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
AIM This article appraises models and theories related to advanced nursing practice. It argues that while the role of the advanced nurse practitioner builds on and extends beyond traditional nursing, it remains firmly grounded in 'caring'. BACKGROUND The stereotype that nurses 'care' and doctors 'cure' is fading. Increasingly, nurses have crossed boundaries and conducted independent assessment, diagnosis, prescribing and consultation, which used to be the doctor's role. Confusion and argument have arisen due to the higher-level practice of the advanced nurse practitioner, as many questions where these 'doctor nurses' stand. DESIGN A literature review. DATA SOURCES Databases, including CINAHL, Medline and Google Scholar, were searched. METHOD Databases were searched, and relevant studies and review articles from 1970 to 2023 were identified using the following keywords: 'advanced nurse practitioner', 'nurse practitioner', 'advanced nursing', 'advance practice', 'nurse practitioner', 'nursing theory' and 'nursing model'. RESULTS Although advanced nurse practitioners identify themselves as nurses, there is limited use of nursing theory to conceptualize this new level of practice and to define their contribution to the multi-disciplinary team. It is noted that a holistic approach to personalized patient care, based on therapeutic relationships and effective communication, may help us identify the unique contribution of the advanced nurse practitioner. CONCLUSIONS The development of advanced nursing theory needs to capture this holistic approach and its caring element to recognize the value and strengthen the identity allegiance of this hybrid role. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE Holistic approach and patient-centred care, effective communication and the therapeutic relationship are strong characteristics relating to ANP practice, the latter of which is yet to be clearly defined and captured in nursing theories. Conceptualizing ANP practice and capturing their valuable nursing care will enable better understanding and clarity for the role to realize its full potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Since MS does not have a definitive cure, individuals affected by it need to adapt and coordinate with their chronic illness in order to fulfill their duties and responsibilities. The first step in helping patients to better care for and manage their illness is to engage in self-care behaviors. This study was conducted with the aim of design and validation of a questionnaire on the factors influencing self-care behaviors in patients with Multiple sclerosis. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on Multiple sclerosis patients in Iran in 2023. The age range of patients varied between 22 and 52 years. Having MS disease, passing one year of the disease duration, living in Mashhad city, having informed consent to participate in the study and not completing the questionnaire were the entry and exit criteria of the study. RESULTS This study was conducted on 500 patients with multiple sclerosis. Based on the results of psychometrics (face, content and construct validity), the number of questions was reduced from 120 to 47 questions and 73 questions were eliminated. Finally, the questionnaire was approved with 47 questions and 4 subscales of understanding the symptoms of the disease (9 questions), tendency to conscious and targeted care (21 questions), laziness in care (8 questions) and tendency to receive therapy services (9 questions). Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega index for all questionnaire questions were 0.877 and 0.881, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of this questionnaire, 47 questions and 4 subscales can be used to measure the factors influencing the adoption of self-care behaviour's in patients with multiple sclerosis.

NURSING REPORTS 2023; 13:844-854. [PMID: 37368341 DOI: 10.3390/nursrep13020074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with diabetes must have self-efficacy to perform necessary self-care tasks. Self-efficacy has been considered as one of the primary motivators on diabetes self-care; therefore, it is essential for health care professionals to assess the self-efficacy of patients with diabetes to provide optimal care. Despite older Korean immigrants having greater difficulty in diabetes management, research on self-efficacy for them is lacking. This study aims to examine the psychometric property of the General Self-Efficacy scale Korean version for older Korean immigrants with diabetes in the United States. In this cross-sectional, methodological study, data were collected using convenience sampling. Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to examine the psychometric properties. Cronbach's alpha for the entire GSE scale Korean version is 0.81. The initial Eigenvalues show two factors, coping and confidence; however, the confirmatory factor analysis showed reasonable goodness of fit to the data (χ2(35) = 86.24, p < 0.01), χ2/df ratio = 2.46, AGFI = 0.87, GFI = 0.91, IFI = 0.90, ECVI = 0.74, CFI = 0.89, and RMSEA = 0.093 in the one-factor model. The General Self-Efficacy scale Korean version demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. It can be used to investigate self-efficacy and to devise culturally tailored diabetes interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of nursing intervention strategies based on the Orem self-care theory on the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after colon cancer surgery. METHODS In this prospective study, a total of 115 patients with colon cancer who had radical resection of the colon cancer tissue were selected as the research subjects and randomized into two groups: an Orem group (59 cases), which was given nursing based on the Orem self-care model and a control group (56 cases), which was given regular nursing. The postoperative recovery of the two groups was compared. RESULTS After the intervention, the time to first getting out of bed, gastric tube removal, first postoperative flatus, first fluid food intake and general food intake were significantly earlier than those of the control group. Time of intestinal peristalsis and the average length of hospital stay of the Orem group were much shorter than those of the control group (all P<0.001). The cost of nutrient supply of the Orem group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.001), and the postoperative pain and incidence of complications of patients in the Orem group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 3 months of follow-up, the scores of positive attitude, intimacy and total score of hope in the hope level of the patients in the Orem group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the positive action scores (P>0.05). Besides, the scores of the Orem group in all dimensions of the quality of life were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.01). CONCLUSION Nursing intervention based on the Orem self-care theory can promote the recovery of patients with colon cancer after surgery, speed up the recovery of their gastrointestinal function, and ultimately improve their level of hope and quality of life. Therefore, it is worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background: Cardiac failure is one of the most common chronic diseases with high rate of morbidity and mortality. Fatigue and decreased ability to perform daily activities are of the most common complications of this disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an educational plan based on Roy adaptation model on fatigue and daily activities in patients with heart failure. Methods: This experimental study was performed on 60 heart failure patients admitted in two educational hospitals supervised by the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019. Sample was randomly assigned into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the care plan through a face-to-face and group training program in 6 sessions at one month. Interval followed by a follow-up period for 4 weeks later. Fatigue level was calculated based on piper fatigue scale, and daily activities were calculated by Barthes scale. Results: The finding indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups (control and intervention) after the intervention. The result showed that the intervention group had significantly lower mean scores in fatigue and higher mean scores in daily activities compared to the control group after intervention P ≤ .05. There was a significant relationship between fatigue and daily activities of life with frequency of hospitalization and duration of disease in both groups, P ≤ .05. Conclusion: Implementation of Roy model-based education program as a low-cost, effective, and non-aggressive nursing intervention can reduce fatigue, and improve daily activities in patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Introduction: Self-care programs can raise health in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to identify the self-care behaviors and determinants in patients with MS according to the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 280 MS patients through convenience sampling method. The collection tool was a self-administered questionnaire based on HBM. The participants were the members of MS society in Kerman, Iran. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, path analysis, and multivariable linear regression in SPSS software Version 22. Results: The mean (SD) score for self-care practices was 2.86 (0.64), and medication adherence was the most conducted practice. The perceived benefits and cues to action exerted positive influence on self-care practices. The most frequent symptoms experienced by the participants were fatigue (82.5%), visual impairment (76.4%), headaches (72.1%), and muscle weakness (71.4%). The most important cues to action for self-care behavior were the physician (77%), media (52%), and other MS patients (32%). Conclusion: The quality of life (QOL) of MS patients is heavily influenced by self-care behaviors. In this study, only about half of the patients accomplished self-care behaviors, which seems to be insufficient. Since the perceived benefits and cues to action are the main predictors of self-care practices, intervention based on these two constructs can be utilized to promote self-care programs and QOL in MS patients. Health-care providers should pay more attention to these factors for promoting self-care behaviors.

Yip JYC. Theory-Based Advanced Nursing Practice: A Practice Update on the Application of Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory. SAGE Open Nurs 2021; 7:23779608211011993.

Abstract
Introduction Many researchers have commended the self-care deficit nursing
theory (SCDNT) developed by Orem as a means of improving
patients' health outcomes through nurses' contributions.
However, experimental research has investigated specific aspects
of SCDNT, such as self-care agency and self-care requisites,
rather than how the construct is practiced and understood as a
whole. The current research presents a case study in which an
advanced practice nurse (APN) used SCDNT-led practice within a
primary healthcare setting that illustrates how the theory is
applied to case management. Methods A case study was conducted by observing an APN during her work in
the asthma clinic of a public hospital in Hong Kong. A
comparison was made between the case management of the APN under
observation with the nursing processes stipulated by the SCDNT
across four key operations: diagnostic,
prescriptive, treatment or
regulatory, and case
management. Conclusion During the observed consultation, the APN applied the four key
operations. In SCDNT, the role of the APN is to apply practical
nursing knowledge by determining how a patient can best
undertake self-care within the circumstances of their living
arrangements and support facilities. The case study also
demonstrated that SCDNT-based nursing practice has strengths and
limitations in a primary healthcare setting. The study concluded
that Orem's SCDNT serves as an appropriate theoretical framework
for nursing practice within primary healthcare settings. One
practical consequence of using SCDNT is that it enables APNs to
use nurse-sensitive indicators when evaluating their clinical
practice. This study offers a practice update to increase the
accountability of nursing practice for nurse-led healthcare
services.

Abstract
Orem's self-care model has been introduced as a nursing model to empower participants with chronic diseases. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of nursing interventions using Orem's self-care model with multiple sclerosis participants' balance and motor function. Sixty-three participants with multiple sclerosis were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The nursing intervention using Orem's self-care model was performed for eight sessions of 45-60 minutes in the intervention group. In the intervention group, a significant increase (improvement) was observed in the mean scores of balance before (17.09 ± 1.97) and after the intervention (33.75 ± 6.01). A significant decrease (improvement) was observed in the mean of motor functions before (4.12 ± 0.34) and after the intervention (1.59 ± 0.71) (p = 0.001). However, no significant difference existed in the mean scores of balance (p = 0.10) and motor function in the control group (p = 0.20). The nursing intervention using Orem's self-care model improved balance and motor function of participants with multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Background Hip fractures of elderly patients are a public health problem worldwide, mostly lying in bed for a long time; therefore, the importance of life quality in such patients is an issue beyond question. Orem's self-care model is a nursing pattern which is introduced with the purpose of improving the self-care ability of individuals, especially the patients suffering from diseases with limits on activity. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Orem's self-care program on life quality of senile patients with hip fractures. Methods A randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 130 eligible old patients suffering from hip fractures who were selected using easy sampling methods and allocated randomly into two groups of experiment and control. The data were collected through validated questionnaires including visual analogue scale (VAS) and Barthel index for them. The experiment group was treated according to Orem's self-care model, and the control group was treated on the basis of the traditional care model. The data of complications including pneumonia, deep venous thrombosis, urinary infection, wound problem, and bedsore were also gathered. Results As revealed, mean scores of VAS and Barthel index one week after operation in the experiment group were significantly different from the control one (P < 0.05, P ≤ 0.001). The changes of VAS and Barthel index six weeks postoperatively of the two groups were also statistically significant (P < 0.05, P ≤ 0.001). Compared with the control group, the difference of complications reduced significantly in the experiment group (P < 0.05). Accordingly, educational intervention according to Orem's self-care model seemed to be effective in promoting self-care ability for these senile patients. Conclusions According to the obtained results, a self-care program based on Orem's model for elderly patients with hip fractures can improve life quality and reduce perioperative complications significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that this nursing program should be taken into account as a part of treatment measures for these patients.

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the effect of a supportive educational intervention based on the Orem self-care model on women with type 2 diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Setting: Hospital outpatient diabetes clinic. Subjects: Adult women with type 2 diabetes and mild-to-moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Out of 410 patients, 120 diabetic patients were recruited and randomly assigned to trial group ( N = 60) and control group ( N = 60). Intervention: The trial group received a designed intervention consist of one-month supportive educational program with three months of follow-up (totally four months), based on self-care requisites according to the Orem self-care regarding diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The control group only received a routine care program in the diabetes clinic. Main measurements: The main outcomes were symptoms and severity of diabetic neuropathy. Further outcomes were fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin. Results: By the end of the intervention, the number of participants reduced from 60 to 58 in the trial group and to 57 in the control group (totally 115). The intervention significantly decreased mean score of diabetic neuropathy symptoms (trial group: 3.26 vs. control group: 9.57, P = 0.001), severity (trial group: 5.86 vs. control group: 9.02, P = 0.001), fasting blood sugar (trial group: 151 vs. control group: 204, P = 0.001), and glycosylated hemoglobin (trial group: 7.85 vs. control group: 8.62, P = 0.004). Conclusion: Delivering a supportive-educational intervention based on the Orem self-care model on outpatient diabetes clinic can decrease the symptoms and severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Trial registration: It was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT2015021521095N1).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease and sustained high blood glucose (prediabetes) are established concurrent diagnoses. People with these concomitant conditions carry out self-care which is overt (e.g., daily weighing or taking a specific diet), plus there are also concealed facets of self-care (e.g., accessing information about diet or medications). Also of note is the need to 'work' to achieve a self-determined level of self-care. The 'work' put into self-care is currently under-reported when people discuss their progress with health professionals. OBJECTIVE Our research aimed to demonstrate that aspects of self-care are typically concealed. A further objective was to reveal the extent of 'work' dedicated to self-care. DESIGN Interviews were conducted with 23 participants to reveal their experiences of long-term conditions, cardiovascular disease and prediabetes. Interpretive description underpinned the development of a thematic representation of the data. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Recruitment was from a tertiary hospital coronary care unit in New Zealand. Included participants were those with an acute coronary event, also found to have a high blood glucose. Those people known to have diabetes prior to admission were not included. METHOD Participants were interviewed once, for approximately 60 min, nine months after discharge home. The data is analysed using thematic analysis, organising an interpretation into themes. RESULTS Self-care requires 'work', the work itself was frequently understated by participants, they trivialised their important role in their self-care. Participants often required prompting to discuss the responsibilities, choices and behaviours they participated in to support self-care to improve their health and well-being. Participant data showed how the 'work' of self-care aligned to three work themes: solo self-care, teamwork, and constant companion self-care. CONCLUSION Nurses can improve the outcomes for people with long-term conditions by acknowledging and incorporating the often concealed 'work' of self-care when assessing, planning and implementing health care in any clinical setting. A important recommendation for nurses is to support people-as-patients, by encouraging self-determination and working with the preferences patients have for self-care, in order to enhance their quality of life while living with ill-health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing theory-guided practice helps improve the quality of nursing care because it allows nurses to articulate what they do for patients and why they do it. However, the usefulness of nursing theory-guided practice has been questioned and more emphasis has been placed on evidence-based nursing and traditional practice. Therefore, an examination of experimental studies was undertaken to analyse the extent of use and usefulness of nursing theories in guiding practice. We reviewed experimental studies because in this era of evidence-based practice, these designs are given more weightage over other research designs. This examination would corroborate the usefulness of nursing theory-guided practice compared to traditional practice. METHODS An integrative review was conducted. Literature search was performed within multiple databases, and 35 studies were reviewed and appraised. RESULTS Majority of the studies were from Iran, the United States and Turkey and used Orem's self-care model, Roy's adaptation model and Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations. The effect of theory-guided interventions was evaluated in improving quality of life, self-efficacy, self-care and stress of patients with chronic, acute, cardiac and psychological illnesses. The quality rating was judged to be strong for three studies, moderate for 25 studies and weak for seven studies. All of the strongly rated studies found nursing theory-guided interventions useful. Overall, nursing theory-guided interventions improved all of studied outcomes in 26 studies and at least one outcome in nine studies. None of the studies reported that nursing theory-guided interventions as not useful. CONCLUSION Nursing theories have guided practice in both eastern and Western countries, and theory-guided practice has been found useful compared to traditional nursing practice. Therefore, nurses should continue to guide their nursing practice through the lens of nursing theories and should continue to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing theory-guided practice.

Abstract
To examine if the application of Orem’s self-care model could improve self-care knowledge, attitudes, practices, and respiratory conditions of trauma patients with chest tubes, a quasi-experimental study was conducted. The participants were assigned to two groups—namely, Orem’s model and routine care. Although the patients’ self-care knowledge, attitudes, and practices were improved in both groups over the course of 3 days since the initial assessments, there was a greater degree of improvement in the experimental group than that in the control group. However, there were no differences in the improvement of the chest parameters between the two groups. Orem’s model was effective in improving self-care in patients with chest tube.
