Using business/law negotiation techniques in response to a ‘difficult’ family

Effective communication between clinicians, patients, and families at end of life is associated with better clinical outcomes. A large body of literature describes the key skills needed for effective communication. We believe that clinicians could also benefit from communication skills more commonly associated with business or law negotiations. We will demonstrate via analogy (i.e. buying a house) how four key business/law negotiation techniques – 1. Determine your Reservation and Aspiration Value; 2. Separate People from their Positions; 3. Separate Positions from Interests; and 4. Logrolling of Interests – can be applied to a difficult family meeting in a home hospice patient.     

中医特色护理对心肌梗死后心律失常的应用效果研究

目的探讨中医特色护理联合全程优质护理对心肌梗死后心律失常的应用效果。方法收集2017年1月-2018年12月收治的心肌梗死后心律失常患者88例,随机分为试验组和对照组,各44例。对照组患者予以全程优质护理。试验组患者予以全程优质护理联合中医特色护理。比较2组患者护理满意度及心理焦虑、抑郁评分。结果干预后2组心理焦虑、抑郁评分均降低(P<0.05);与对照组相比,试验组护理满意率较高,试验组心理焦虑、抑郁评分较低(P<0.05)。结论全程优质护理联合中医特色护理在心肌梗死后心律失常患者的护理中具有积极作用,能够改善心理健康状态。     

Policy Recommendations Regarding Skilled Nursing Facility Management of Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19): Lessons from New York State

To provide policy recommendations for managing Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) in skilled nursing facilities, a group of certified medical directors from several facilities in New York state with experience managing the disease used e-mail, phone, and video conferencing to develop consensus recommendations. The resulting document provides recommendations on screening, protection of staff, screening of residents, management of Coronavirus 19 positive and presumed positive cases, communication during an outbreak, management of admissions and readmissions, and providing emotional support for staff. These consensus guidelines have been endorsed by the Executive Board of the New York Medical Directors Association and the Board of the Metropolitan Area Geriatrics Society.     

聚焦解决护理模式结合健康教育对银屑病患者心理状态、应对方式的影响

目的 探讨聚焦解决护理模式结合健康教育对银屑病患者心理状态、应对方式的影响。方法 选取2020年2月至2021年2月我院收治的100例银屑病患者,随机分为观察组(聚焦解决护理模式结合健康教育)与对照组(常规健康教育)。比较两组的心理状态及应对方式。结果 干预后,观察组的焦虑自评量表(SAS)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预后,观察组的面对评分高于对照组,屈服、回避评分低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预后,观察组的病耻感评分低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 聚焦解决护理模式结合健康教育可有效改善银屑病患者的不良情绪,减轻病耻感,转变疾病应对方式。     

子宫腺肌症对患者的心理影响及心理护理效果观察

目的 分析子宫腺肌症可能对患者造成的心理影响,探讨子宫腺肌症患者的心理护理方法,观察护理效果。方法 将62例子宫腺肌症患者随机分配为常规护理干预组和心理护理干预组,每组31例。对常规护理干预组患者,实施常规护理干预措施。对心理护理干预组患者,在常规护理干预措施的基础上,进一步对其实施针对性的心理护理干预措施。结果 心理护理干预组患者的焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分,以及睡眠质量自评量表(SRSS)各维度评分,都明显低于常规护理干预组,差异具有统计学意义。心理护理干预组患者的生活质量综合评定量表(GQOLI-74)各维度评分,要显著的高于常规护理干预组,差异同样具有统计学意义。结论 应重视并切实做好对子宫腺肌症患者的心理护理工作,这能够有效缓解患者的焦虑、抑郁情绪,提高患者的心理健康水平,改善患者的水平及生活质量。
