    Notes: Nurses played a significant role in providing care to Kosovar and East Timorese refugees at the East Hills Reception Centre in Sydney, Australia, during Operation Safe Haven in 1999–2000. To ascertain the needs of nurses in this setting, 13 nurses participated in two focus group interviews, and two in-depth interviews were conducted with nursing managers. Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted on the resulting transcripts. Nurses reported that, overall, they had the necessary clinical skills but needed specific refugee health profiles and training in culturally competent and trauma-sensitive care. The nurses experienced trauma-related, cultural, environmental and role-related stressors. They used a variety of informal psychosocial supports but reported the need for ongoing counselling and debriefing. While clinical skills were considered important, nurses identified other factors as having more impact on their ability to provide comprehensive care for traumatized refugees, particularly their role as client advocates.

    Risk Factors for an Untoward Medication Event Among Elders in Community-Based Nursing Caseloads in Australia (2005)

    Notes: Abstract  This study sought to develop and test a set of criteria to distinguish elders at high risk of an untoward medication event within community nursing caseloads. A descriptive correlational design was used to identify relevant risk factors for elders. Data on medication knowledge, regime, management abilities, and adherence were obtained from 111 elders receiving community nursing care. Four predictors—12 or more doses of medications per day, more than one prescriber, caregiver available, and sometimes forgetting to take medications—of complexity (R2 explaining 39% of the variance) and adherence (R2 explaining 49% of the variance) were identified as potential factors that subsequently confirmed a discrete group of high risk elders. The use of these four risk factors or screening criteria is recommended for older people within community nursing caseloads.

    A nursing intervention for the quality use of medicines by elderly community clients (2004)

    Notes: Although considerable research and development work has been undertaken on the role of General Practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists in medication management, monitoring and referral, there is limited research into a role in medication management for community nurses. One hundred and thirteen older people living at home and receiving community nursing care were assessed for their knowledge of, and ability to manage their medication regimen. From these data, a nurse-initiated intervention was developed that included nursing interventions and referral pathways to GPs for people who might benefit from a GP and/or pharmacist medication review. A subgroup of 24 participants with diminished knowledge of medications or ability to manage their regime (considered to be at risk of drug-related problems) who were followed up, demonstrated an increase in knowledge, some alteration in compliance aids and with no statistically significant change in medication regime complexity. This paper details an approach to medication review and intervention suitable for community nurses that includes referral pathways within the medication team.

    Developing evidence-based clinicians (2001)
    Melbourne, Australia : Blackwell Science Pty
    International journal of nursing practice 7 (2001), S. 0

    Notes: Evidence-based care has heralded an advancement for health with extensive rhetoric and incentives encouraging clinicians to become active participants in practice change. This paper explores two mechanisms—research utilization and systematic reviews—as processes to develop empowerment in clinicians, and develop an ethos of basing practice on research. The intent of these approaches is to create an environment that enables clinicians to seek solutions to practice problems, inform practice decisions and develop practice policy using evidence from research. The goal is to develop evidence-based clinicians who remain active and interested in their practice and who are committed to promoting the application of research to practice. The strengths and weaknesses of these methods are explored within two case studies where they are applied to the management of hypothermia and the efficacy of postoperative observations. Key points of application for each of the methods are outlined in the conclusions.
