Primary Care: America's Health in a New Era

Purpose
To develop and evaluate a “post-seclusion and/or restraint review” (PSRR) intervention implemented in an acute psychiatric care unit.

Design and Methods
Twelve staff members and three patients were enrolled in a participatory case study. To evaluate PSRR intervention, qualitative analysis was carried out. Seclusion and restraint use 6 months before and after the PSRR implementation was compared.

Findings
Nurses reported that they were able to explore the patient's feelings during the PSRR intervention with patients, which led to restoration of the therapeutic relationship. PSRR with the treatment team was perceived as a learning opportunity, which allowed to improve the therapeutic intervention. Both the use of seclusion and the time spent in seclusion were significantly reduced 6 months after the implementation of PSRR intervention.

Practice Implication
Our results suggest the efficacy of PSRR in overcoming the discomfort perceived by both staff and patient and, in the meantime, in reducing the need for coercive procedures. Systematic PSRR could permit to improve the quality of care and the safety of aggressiveness management.

Aim
This paper reports on an analysis of the concept of reflective practice.

Background
Reflective practice, a concept borrowed from the field of education, is widely used in nursing. However, to date, no study has explored whether this appropriation has resulted in a definition of the concept specific to the nursing discipline.

Data Sources
A sample comprised of 42 articles in the field of nursing drawn from the CINAHL database and 35 articles in education from the ERIC database (1989–2013) was analyzed.

Review Method
A concept analysis using the method proposed by Bowers and Schatzman was conducted to explore the differing meanings of reflective practice in nursing and education.

Results
In nursing, the dimensions of the concept differ depending on context. In the clinical context, the dimensions may be summarized as theory–practice gap, development, and caring; in training, as learning, guided process, and development; and in research, as knowledge, method, and social change. In education, the concept is also used in the contexts of training (the dimensions being development, deliberate review, emotions, and evaluation) and research (knowledge, temporal distance, and method). The humanist dimension in nursing thus reflects a use of the concept more specific to the discipline.

Conclusion
The concept analysis helped clarify the meaning of reflective practice in nursing and its specific use in the discipline. This observation leads to a consideration of how the concept has developed since its appropriation by nursing; the adoption of a terminology particular to nursing may well be worth contemplating.

Reflective Practice: A Comparative Dimensional Analysis of the Concept in Nursing and Education Studies.

Comme a bien des endroits dans le monde, le Quebec n’echappe pas aux reformes de son systeme de la sante, lesquelles peuvent malheureusement entrainer des obstacles a la qualite des soins, de meme qu’une certaine deshumanisation, et ce, tant au regard des soins a la clientele, qu’au niveau organisationnel, pour les professionnels de la sante. C’est ainsi que le « Modele humaniste des soins infirmiers - UdeM » (MHSI-UdeM) souhaite offrir une perspective novatrice visant l’amelioration de la qualite et de la securite des soins, de la satisfaction et du bien-etre de la clientele ainsi que celui des infirmieres. Tout en respectant leurs influences theoriques, les auteurs presentent leur vision des concepts centraux de la discipline de meme que des concepts cles du Modele, cherchant ainsi a les rendre plus comprehensibles, accessibles et applicables dans la pratique quotidienne des infirmieres. Cet article vise a faire connaitre le Modele a la communaute infirmiere, a promouvoir son implantation dans toutes les spheres d’activites de la profession infirmiere en plus d’en montrer son applicabilite et ses retombees en recherche infirmiere. Il apparait que ce modele s’avere prometteur dans l’actualisation et le developpement d’interventions de soins humanistes aupres de la clientele.

How does questioning influence nursing students' clinical reasoning in problem-based learning? A scoping review

This study seeks to evaluate the predictive validity of the French version of the Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression (DASAfr) and psychiatric nurses' perceptions of the clinical usefulness of the scale. The study was conducted in a 12-bed psychiatric intensive care unit in a large adult general psychiatric hospital. We found that the total score on the DASAfr has acceptable predictive accuracy for aggression against others and against staff and for seclusion with restraints; predictive accuracy was poorer for aggression against objects. Moreover, the nurses though the scale would be useful to their practice; and, indeed, the team still uses the DASAfr.
