Possible Causes of the Problem

Grieving among nurses is a common emotion. By grieving, nurses demonstrate empathy that each human being goes through in life whenever a friend or family member is in a dilemma. However, there has been a misconception that nurses are not meant to demonstrate any feelings towards the patients that they serve. It is important to understand that most nurses develop relationships and bonds with the patients that surpass professional ethics. By spending much time with the patients, nurses develop relationships that affect them when the patients succumb to the problems that they are facing. The main problem that will be shown in this ...

Rigorous research can be performed either qualitatively or quantitatively. The key is to pick the correct form for the research question that is being addressed. Some research questions have results that are best described numerically, like the percent of patients impacted by a particular practice, or a reduction in the number of hospitals days with the use of a particular nursing technique. These kinds of questions should utilize quantitative research approaches to quantify, or count, the effect being measured. However, some research questions cannot be answered by using just a number or percentage. These kinds of research questions should be studied using qualitative ...

While caring for children with DD (developmental disabilities) can in some ways be rewarding (Benson, 2010, p. 218), it can also be extremely stressful. For both parents and professional caregivers, stress is a very common part of dealing with children with ID (intellectual disabilities) or ASD (autism spectrum disorders) (Mills & Rose, 2011, p. 846). One consequence of this kind of stress is a possibility of caregiver burnout. The following paper will examine the concept of "mindfulness" as it can be applied to professional and parental care for children with DD. A number of different research studies will be considered, ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005).

The capacity for evidence-based project implementation, evaluation, and dissemination as well as for research and nurse leadership improves with continued practice. Learning from practice is espoused by Kolb’s theory of experiential learning summed up as “constructing knowledge and meaning from real-life experience” (Yardley, Teunissen & Dorman, 2012, p. 161). Such learning is possible by engaging in reflection with the purpose of drawing insights that will enhance future practice. Without reflection, there is very little chance of rectifying prior mistakes or addressing weaknesses. Thus, self-reflection is one strategy that I will use to further my professional development goals.
