The Good Samaritan Nurse in a Secular Age
Christian and other nurses in the hostile modern and increasingly secular age may feel helpless in an environment that created the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) and continues to foster end of life 'care' through sedation and dehydration. The book aims to enlighten both health professionals and the public alike to their rights of conscience and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable patients whether related to ethical care or guidance and the law which can affect them. Indifference to patients'needs and suffering may be injurious to nurses' health all of whom have a conscience. This must be respected, protected and used as a guide to truly care for the patient's benefit, reqardless of laws and professional pathways which may prove harmful to many vunerable patients. The questioning nurse on ethical issues and dilemmas needs consideration, respect and support when attempting to act as the patient advocate. Managers at all levels need to be aware of the concerns of front line nurses and to be mindful that recruitment and retention are both equally important factors for the quality of patient care and nurse morale and work satisfaction. The NHS was a wonderful creation which is only as good as its staff at all levels. Its managers and government ministers must remember that the more authority invested in them, the more the accountability and transparency expected by both health professionals, their patients and the public.
The Dynamics of Nursing Practice
The work of nurses, according to Leopardi, Gelbeck and Ramos, 2012, is characterised by four dimensions: direct care for individuals or groups, from conception to death; educational dimensions, consisting of professional training, continuing education and health education processes with users; administrative/managerial dimensions, coordinating and organising nursing work and participating in health care management; investigative dimensions, producing knowledge to support and guide care, management and health education processes. Various factors influence the suffering of nursing professionals, such as work overload, excessive working hours, overcrowded care units, devaluation of the profession, constant work with suffering and pain, among others. Nursing demands attention and a more humane approach to nursing professionals is needed.

Global Efforts Enhancing Pediatric Pain
This project aimed to improve low-to-middle-income country provider knowledge and competence concerning the pathophysiology and assessment of pain via web-based education at Lao Friends Hospital for Children in Luang Prabang, Laos.Background. The surgical burden is increasingly prevalent for pediatric patients in low-tomiddle income countries. Pediatric pain is misunderstood and under-treated to a greater degree in developing countries due to a historical lack of formal pain education and cultural barriers. As global priorities continue to shift towards surgical intervention, addressing barriers to effective pediatric pain management are necessary to negate the maladaptive physiologic and psychologic consequences of unrelieved post surgical pain.

Aquatic physiotherapy intervention in chronic encephalopathy
Chronic non-progressive encephalopathy (CNE), also known as cerebral palsy, is a disorder of movement and posture resulting from non-progressive damage to the immature or developing brain, which causes clinical manifestations (BAX et al., 2005). Aquatic physiotherapy is a physiotherapeutic resource that contributes to the treatment of patients with NPC, as it improves balance, motor coordination, temporal and spatial orientation, gait, muscle flexibility and social function. There is a need for studies with a larger number of homogeneous patients, control and experimental groups with statistical significance tests and treatments of choice for improving these aspects in these patients.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease usually affects young adults and has a chronic and relapsing clinical course, with an impact on quality of life, particularly in aspects related to health, education, work, social and family life. It is globally considered to be a disabling disease and responsible for a marked reduction in the person's quality of life. Despite the technological advances witnessed in recent years in an attempt to reduce the incidence rates of some chronic diseases, there has been a significant increase with direct and indirect implications for the quality of life of those affected and their families. In this sense, nurses are involved in the dynamisation of innovative activities, seeking to provide creative solutions for dealing with situations of chronic illness, aiming to improve the care provided and making a real difference to the day-to-day life of the person, family and community.

Managing Overcrowding in the Emergency Department. A Review
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Public Health, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to pinpoint the root causes, consequences, and remedies of emergency department overpopulation. Hospital and emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a serious problem that has an impact on patient treatment and results. For the purpose of improving hospital capacity and patient flow, it is imperative to comprehend the causes of congestion. An overview of the studies on overcrowding and its effects on healthcare delivery is given in this article. These techniques can ease hospital overcrowding, improve patient flow, and decrease wait times. Additionally, recognizing and controlling hospital overpopulation has showed promise when using data analytics and predictive modeling. Hospitals can proactively allocate resources, change personnel levels, and manage patient flow to avoid congestion by studying previous data and forecasting future demand. This approach has been shown to improve patient outcomes, reduce wait times, and enhance overall hospital efficiency. Understanding overcrowding factors, bed capacity deficits, is crucial for effective strategies. Optimizing bed capacity, patient flow, and data analytics improves hospital care quality and reduces overcrowding.
Evaluation of different Analytic Tools for promoting Evidence-Based Public Health
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Public Health, language: English, abstract: This study explores the effectiveness of different analytic tools in promoting Evidence-based public health (EBPH). Evidence-based public health is a concept that emphasizes the use of scientific evidence in decision-making processes related to public health. To promote the uptake of EBPH, various analytic tools can be employed. Systematic reviews and economic evaluations can be used to help promote evidence-based practices. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which are the gold standard in evidence-based medicine when it comes to public health, may not always be practical or appropriate for evaluating public health initiatives. The complexity of public health initiatives, which frequently target communities rather than individuals, as well as the significance of context and social determinants of health, must be taken into consideration. To integrate many evidence sources and handle the complexity of public health, other methodologies and analytical tools are required. Although these tools provide insightful information for practitioners and policymakers, they still require improvement in order to address complicated public health issues and incorporate a variety of evidence sources

Patients' Lived Experiences During the Transplant and Cellular Therapy Journey
The book was envisioned by bedside nurses caring for transplant and cellular therapy patients as a way to teach novice nurses and health care colleagues about the care required for this complex patient population. The nurse authors recruited an oncology nurse practitioner, transplant physician, nurse scientist and expert in medical humanities and health studies to join the project team. The dedication of the team and the willingness of the patients to contribute to the project, has led to a unique case study approach focused on the lived experience of patients and care partner(s) during the transplant/cellular therapy journey. The case studies are unique in that they encompass a qualitative narrative developed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and the inclusion of the individual's actual medical and nursing care from their health record. At every step along the trajectory of the illness, the medications and care received are described, interspersed with the voice of the patient and care partner(s) sharing their experiences. The chapters follow the individual patients and their care partner(s) through all phases of their illness. The interviews were conducted, and case studies written by the bedside clinical nurses. Visual art and prose created by patients and care partner(s)s are included in the chapters. The book also includes an introduction written by the nurse authors, a methods chapter on the inclusion of IPA in a case study, and poignant epilogue. The premise of nursing support for survivorship is woven throughout the book, highlighting how giving back aids in recovery identity. This book, full of beautiful artworks and poems, is the work of clinical nurses devoted to improving care for their patients by sharing the patient stories with others. It introduces a unique approach to the case study which could be replicated and applied to any diagnosis.

Blood Vascular Restriction Method in Chondropathy
Strength and hypertrophy training using the RFS (Restricted Blood Flow) method has been shown to be very effective through experiments and is gaining ground every day, as it is proving to be a very beneficial way of gaining strength and hypertrophy using low weights. Some researchers have used kaatsu training or RFS in Japan and found good results in gyms, orthopaedic clinics and hospitals. In Japan, this method is already widely used, with kaatsu being used in 84% of the places surveyed. Chondropathy refers to diseased cartilage. This condition usually causes pain in the front of the knee and clicking, especially when the person squats, runs, gets up from a chair or goes up and down stairs. The more specific term for this condition is patellofemoral syndrome. Patellar chondropathy has different stages, depending on the degree of cartilage degeneration: softening, fragmentation or cracks, up to erosion or total loss. This is why it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately, even when the pain starts.

Probability Modeling and Statistical Inference in Cancer Screening
Cancer screening has been carried out for six decades - however, there are many unsolved problems: how to estimate key parameters involved in screenings, such as sensitivity, the time duration in the preclinical state (i.e., sojourn time), and time duration in the disease-free state; how to estimate the distribution of lead time, the diagnosis time advanced by screening; how to evaluate the long-term outcomes of screening, including the probability of overdiagnosis among the screen-detected; when to schedule the first exam based on one's current age and risk tolerance; and when to schedule the upcoming exam based on one's screening history, age, and risk tolerance. These problems need proper probability models and statistical methods in order to be dealt with.Features: This book gives a concise account of the analysis of cancer screening data, using probability models and statistical methods. Real data sets are provided so that cancer researchers and statisticians can apply the methods in the learning process. It develops statistical methods in the commonly used disease progressive model.

The Transition to Parenthood after IVF
This book explores how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples. Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss, and gender affect the transition to parenthood, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. We highlight the key roles for health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being. Ideal for nurses and midwives working in reproductive health as well as primary care nurses and health visitors, this applied text is a key reference for all healthcare professionals who meet people at any point on their journey to achieving pregnancy through IVF, during maternity care, and through the first few years of parenthood.
Play and Health in Childhood
Taking a rights-based approach to the interdependence of play and health in childhood, this text argues that the child's right to health and development cannot be satisfied without also the fulfillment of their right to play.Underpinned by theory and real-life 'case stories' drawn from practice and family life, Whitaker and Tonkin present what is known about the benefits of play and its potential to address the pressing health needs in the short and long terms of the youngest generation. They define and discuss the concepts of childhood, play, health, and human rights before exploring how play interacts with the four fundamental principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: non-discrimination; best interests; life, survival, and development; and inclusion and participation. The book then investigates how practitioners can advocate for the child's right to play to meet all their health and development needs. It presents numerous examples of best practice from a range of settings - including hospitals, schools, community initiatives, charities, families, and more - and incorporates the voices of children as they imagine a future in which play is elevated to a central position in their lives, allowing for the achievement of lifelong health and happiness.Exploring children's rights from a practical perspective, this accessible book is essential reading for students and practitioners in healthcare, social work, community work, early years, and education.
