Caring Chronicles: Advances in Nursing and Patient Care

Mounica Nikita

Nursing has transcended its traditional image of white uniforms and bedside assistance to become a dynamic and multifaceted profession. The book delves into various dimensions of this transformation, shedding light on the diverse roles and responsibilities that nurses now assume. One of the key themes explored in "Caring Chronicles" is the integration of technology into nursing practice. The digital age has brought forth an array of tools and systems designed to enhance patient care. Nurses now utilize Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to streamline data management, allowing for more accurate and efficient care delivery. Telehealth services, a burgeoning trend even before the COVID-19 pandemic, have made healthcare more accessible and convenient for patients. Nurses have adapted to this shift by offering remote consultations and monitoring, showcasing their adaptability and commitment to patient welfare.

Good health seeking behaviour is an important element of prevention, early diagnosis, and management of disease conditions, reducing cost, disability and death. This scoping review aimed to assess the healthcare seeking behaviors of homeless substance users during COVID-19 lockdowns. This review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, where electronic databases such as consulting newspaper articles, credited website published reports and journals under Google Scholar. A total of 47 articles published in English between 2017 and 2022 were consulted, only using 27 for results synthesis. Results indicate difficult to access healthcare and only admission in hospitals as emergency cases. Factors associated with health seeking behaviors include lack of identification documents and address and stigma.

Extended Care for People after a Concluded Hospital Treatment for Coronavirus Disease

Zdenka Ti?ar* and Klavdija Kobal Straus

Introduction: The emergence of covid-19 called for a flexible response to the newly emerging situation, also in relation to providing healthcare for people after recovering from the coronavirus disease. This paper summarises the findings of the implementation of an extended care programme, which was established with the aim of providing support to patients who had recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection and were unable to return to their home environment after hospital treatment due to insufficient self-care.

Methods: Descriptive and quantitative methods were used in the analysis. Correlation and regression coefficients were calculated to test the hypotheses. The analysis included data from 153 patients who were part of the extended care programme during the period from 21 April 2021 to 15 February 2022. Given the small amount of data and the uneven distribution, the non-parametric Spearman's rank correlation test was used to test the correlation of the individual data.

Results: Based on the analysis of the data on providing extended care, it was concluded that extended care contributed to a higher level of patients' independence. Patient progress on the Functional Independence Measure shows that the age of the patient and the structure of the services required by the patient are not directly correlated with the number of points achieved on the Functional Independence Measure at the end of extended care. The number of points achieved on the Functional Independence Measure at the end of extended care is statistically significantly correlated with the number of points achieved on the scale at the start of extended care. The results show that progress on the Functional Independence Measure is not statistically significantly related to the age of the patients included in extended care. Patients aged 85 years or older make comparable progress on the Functional Independence Measure as patients younger than 85 years. The results of the analysis show the need for systemic planning of rehabilitation programmes for all age groups, in particular tailored programmes for older people after hospitalisation, with the aim of strengthening their independence, enabling them to return to their home environment and to live as independent and active a life as possible.
