Dedicated Education Units (DEU) may be one strategy for staff development educators to address new graduate nurse transition to practice and turnover within the first year of practice. This qualitative study explored the experiences of students and staff nurses from the inaugural DEU at Research College of Nursing and Research Medical Center. The themes identified suggest that students who were educated in the DEU model may be better prepared to practice in the "real world" of nursing than their peers who were not.
Between 5% and 9% of primary care patients exhibit hypochondriacal symptoms. Hypochondriasis may be primary or secondary to panic disorder or depression. Despite negative diagnostic findings and clinician reassurance, hypochondriacal patients manifest disease conviction, disease phobia, or both. Primary care providers, in collaboration with mental health care providers, can provide optimal treatment for patients with hypochondriasis. The use of various intervention phases and selective serotonergic reuptake inhibitors provide the most favorable patient outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
