Reviewing the Literature

Introduction

Nursing is a very noble profession; however, it is full of challenges. Nurse plays a very significant role in Hospitals in order to provide care to patients. They not only provide the prescribed medication to the patients, but also offer care and personal touch to the patients. They also assist administration in making crucial decisions. They are very active in providing their assistance, when the recruitment process takes place in the Hospital. In this paper, we will discuss various studies conducted by researchers on this topic.

Review of Literature

Adeline, who is an Assistant Professor at School of Nursing (University of Western Ontario London), worked on the role of Nurses. He has presented the theory of Watson, who stressed the role of personal care and touch in serving the patient. He proposed that it is important to develop self confidence in the patients that will help them to recover. It focuses on Person Centered Approach.

It creates huge problems for not only the team, but is also a threat to patient's safety. The authors conducted a survey in the local hospital to conclude that there is a serious communication gap, between the members of the team. The increase in error rate in the operations led to such a research from the researchers. Authors presented figures on large number deaths caused during operation caused by either lack of communication or negligence from the operating team. The study found out that communication gap between Doctors and Surgeons could lead to catastrophic medical errors. However, there has been an increase in research has focused these issues and presented solutions to the problems faced.

The authors proposed trainings session for the team to solve this issue, using Crew Management Principles. These training sessions would include role playing, training films and interactive participation. When applying these techniques, it is also important ...
