Illness Stories: From Recognizing The Significance In Care To Planning My Own Storied Practice, Jane Lachance

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

In this paper, stories of illness are identified as belonging to a specific genre of story that represents an ill person's interpretation of experience and hence the meaning(s) of illness. The ill person is recognized as member of a family embedded in a social setting with cultural mores that contribute to experience and meanings. The meaning of illness is significant because it affects the care of illness. This paper focuses on chronic illness, an illness without cure that is managed over a lifetime and is characterized by remission and exacerbation of symptoms. Our current bio-medical health care system reframes the …

Identifying Methods Nurse Managers Can Implement To Foster A Supportive Environment For Staff Where Disruptive Behavior Exists, Kathleen Leavitt

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

We can all imagine the ideal work environment, where you are respected, empowered, and provided with the resources to perform to the best of your ability everyday. Your skills would be acknowledged and the challenging work that is accomplished each day would be appreciated by peers, team members, and managers. However, in my work environment, an operating room, a phenomenon called "disruptive behavior" often interrupts the ability of achieving this desired state. Initially I was focused on this behavior being displayed by physicians but was awakened to the fact that they are not the only offenders and that many caregivers …

The Birds Of Nebraska, Revised Edition 2007, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

Persons living in Nebraska often feel that they are living in a cultural wasteland; its citizenry preoccupied with violent sports such as hunting and football. Yet many are unaware that they are actually residing in one of the prime locations in the entire world for observing and enjoying some of the most aesthetically appealing of all the world's biological attractions. The area around Kingsley Dam and Lake McConaughy, for example, is known to have attracted more than 300 bird species, including 104 breeders (plus 17 probable breeders) making it the third-most species-rich bird location in the entire U.S.A. (after Laguna …

The Learning Organisation And Health Care Education, Rashid K. Al-Abri, Intisar S. Al-Hashmi

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

The ‘Learning Organisation’ is a concept first described by Peter Senge as an organisation where people continuously learn and enhance their capabilities to create. It consists of five main disciplines: team learning, shared vision, mental models, personal mastery and systems thinking. These disciplines are dynamic and interact with each other. System thinking is the cornerstone of a true learning organisation and is described as the discipline used to implement the disciplines. In a learning organisation, health care education aims to educate its members with up to date knowledge to produce competent and safe personnel, who can promote quality in health …

Computer Alert System That Promotes Patient Safety By Identifying Possible Contraindications Of Prescribed Physical Agents, Hong-Nan Shih, Jing-Hwa Wey, Chun-Chieh Chiu, Po-Wei Lin, Tsan-Hon Liou, Chi-Hsien Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

This study investigated and analyzed the prevalence of contraindications that can co-exist with a prescribed physical agent. To prevent likely complications, this study implemented a computer warning system, which prompts physiatrists to possible contraindications. Once a physical agent is prescribed, the system automatically reviewarticles the ICD-9 codes in the patients’ medical chart. Two pre-established databases are used in the warning system: one contains contraindications for each physical agent and the other has possible contraindications for each selected ICD-9 code. By cross-referencing between ICD-9 codes in a patient's chart and the two databases, the warning system was able to identify possible …

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome With Chronic Subdural Hemorrhage: A Casereport, Yun-Fu Chou, Wei-Jang Yen, Chia-Hui Dai, Ta-Shen Kuan, Chang-Zern Hong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Patients who suffer antiphosphlipid antibody syndrome may have two kinds of antibodies, Anticardiolipin and Lupus anticoagulant. These antibodies may increase the risk of ischemic stroke and cerebral ischemia. However, the incidence of cerebral bleeding is relative rare. As a result, patients with antiphosphlipid syndrome often take oral anticoagulants for a long-term period to prevent ischemic stroke attack.We report a female patient who was diagnosed antiphosphlipid antibody syndrome in 1998, and took oral anticoagulants for a long period to restrain the symptom of thrombosis. The INR(International Normalized Ratio)value has been kept between 1.5 to 2.0 by controlling the dosage of oral …

The Political Balance Of Power Over The Military: Rethinking The Relationship Between The Armed Forces, The President, And Congress, Geoffery S. Corn, Eric Talbot Jensen

Faculty Scholarship

Recent events related to the planning and execution of the war in Iraq, most notably the perceived 2003 "firing" of then Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki, have raised concerns over the effect of Executive Branch dominance of the military and how that dominance impacts the ability of Congress to obtain timely and important information. Such actions, perceived to discourage members of the military from providing candid views to Congress when they differ with the Administration, even if implied instead of express, strike at the very core of the founder's intent to balance military power within the national government. The …

Temperature Dependence Of A Macrobending Edge Filter Based On A High-Bend Loss Fiber, Pengfei Wang, Ginu Rajan, Yuliya Semenova, Gerald Farrell

Articles

The temperature dependence of a macrobending bare fiber based edge filter is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The fiber used is a high bend loss fiber, type 1060XP. The experimental results show a good agreement with the proposed theoretical model over a temperature range from 0 to 80oC. It is shown that the strong temperature dependence of a high-bend loss fiber has a significant influence on the performance of a fiber edge filter used in a wavelength measurement application. However it is also concluded that such a temperature dependent performance can be beneficially utilized in a fiber temperature sensing application.
