摘要:

Productivity is uppermost in the minds of most nurse executives. To protect patient caregivers, nurse educator and clinical specialist positions are being cut. Thus, for hospital nursing educational departments to survive, it is essential that the educational process be defined and include the expectations of the organization and employee as well as the means by which these outcomes can be measured. This article briefly analyzes the factors that have helped to create the current crisis, and then reviews the methods by which nurse administrators can provide some solutions without decimating their educational support services.

摘要:

When the federal government notified Canadian hospital administrators that several deaths had resulted from improper application of physical restraints, we decided to examine our nursing practice in relation to restraint use. The government communiqufé indicated that at any one time, up to 10% of a hospital's patient population may be using some form of restraint.1A hospital-wide survey indicated that 13.2% of our patients were managed with physical restraints and that insufficient documentation occurred. This was interpreted as a significant clinical-administrative problem and we recognized the need for a formal policy. Other adult care facilities can benefit from our experience in solving this dilemma.
