Notes on nursing.

Learning compassionate care: Experiences of nursing students.

More than 20 million Veterans currently live in the United States, representing World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan war eras, as well as many who served during peacetime. Little is known regarding what home care nurses know about the unique healthcare needs of this population. Using Purnell's Model for Cultural Competence, a mixed-methods study was designed to examine home care nurse's knowledge, comfort, and confidence in caring for active military, Veterans and their families. This article provides the data from a national survey of 102 home care nurses. Findings suggest that civilian home care nurses have limited experience working with active military but work with Veterans at least monthly, if not weekly. Nurses were most confident in managing pain and least confident in managing issues related to military sexual trauma. Knowledge of resources available to Veterans, war-specific exposures, and Veteran-specific health issues were the top areas nurses felt less confident in. Continued efforts need to be put in place so that 100% of all patients seeking healthcare are screened for military/Veteran status. In addition, continuing education for nurses needs to include Veteran-specific topics so evidence-based, culturally sensitive care can be provided.

Civilian Nurses' Knowledge, Confidence, and Comfort Caring for Military Veterans: Survey Results of a Mixed-Methods Study.

Educating nurses to deliver optimum care to military veterans and their families.

Critical thinking relies upon conceptualization (what is the possible pathophysiology?), analysis (how do I relate an aberration in physiology to the lived experience of illness?), and synthesizing (how do I best intervene?). These cognitive skills are subsumed in the category of reflective competencies and are necessary for developing a differential diagnosis or a plan of care. A vulnerability of teaching medicine through the filter of heuristics is that it may simply recapitulate the teacher's style of cognitive shortcuts. Poorly calibrated heuristics may culminate in systematic errors of judgment. If the aim is to teach critical reasoning in the arena of clinical education, then a new paradigm is called for. Teaching critical reasoning as it applies to medical decision-making begins with recognizing decision scripts.Key Points• Medical heuristics are high-stakes endeavors.• The process of examining the choice of heuristics employed in any given clinical scenario is a meta-reasoning strategy.• Debiasing reduces cognitive errors due to motivated reasoning.
