“…In this discussion, the instructor encourages students to review the difference between chronic disease and disability following the ICF definition (World Health Organization 2001). The instructors made arrangements for students to engage in a classroom intervention (Stage 5) comprised of a simulation designed to give students a way of experiencing disability (Stage 6; Cervasio & Fatata-Hall, 2013;Seccombe, 2007). (Green, 2001;Green & Kreuter, 1992) In our class, we provided students with an experience to demonstrate the situation of being a person with a physical disability in an inaccessible environment (Salend, 2010).…”

As approximately 15% of the world's population has a disability, nurses must possess an understanding of individuals with a disability as an aspect of cultural diversity. It is the responsibility of programmes to instil in nursing students, the ability to appreciate and work with culturally diverse student and registered nurses. Such goals not only reflect nursing goals, but also strengthen the cohesion and inclusivity of the nursing community.

“…18 It has been reported that health care providers who received education on disabilities performed significantly better on attitude assessments toward these children. 13 Furthermore, education specific to patients with complex chronic conditions has the potential to affect the quality of care provided. 13 Our results demonstrate no statistically significant differences between health care provider attitudes and perspectives toward PCCPs based on duration of practice.…”

“…11 To date, much of the literature concerning PCCPs has portrayed an unfavorable view of these patients by health care providers and identified complicated family dynamics. [10][11][12][13][14] As an example of this negative perception, engagement by physicians was reported to diminish with medically complex, "difficult" patients, with tensions attributable to medical and psychosocial variables. 10 Furthermore, conflicts were reported between health care providers and parents during discussions about the goals of treatment.…”

“…12 These factors can influence providers' attitudes toward their patients and affect the quality of care provided. 13,14 Previous research on experiences in the PICU has identified 7 major themes regarding the attitudes, opinions, and perspectives of parents of children with severe disabilities: "(1) know my child's baseline; (2) integrate and bridge multiple services; (3) disconnect between role of parent at home versus parent in the PICU; (4) a PICU admission does not equate with respite; (5) highstakes learning environment; (6) heterogeneity within group; and (7) lack of fit within the acute care model." 15(p2068) On the other hand, few studies have explored the perspectives of health care providers who care for PCCPs.…”

Background Children with complex chronic conditions present unique challenges to the pediatric intensive care unit, including prolonged length of stay, complex medical regimens, and complicated family dynamics. Objectives To examine perspectives of pediatric intensive care unit health care providers regarding pediatric patients with complex chronic conditions, and to explore potential opportunities to improve these patients’ care. Methods A prospective mixed-methods sequential explanatory study was conducted in a tertiary medical-surgical pediatric intensive care unit using surveys performed with REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) followed by semistructured interviews. Results The survey response rate was 70.6% (77 of 109). Perspectives of health care providers did not vary with duration of work experience. Ten semistructured interviews were conducted. Eight overarching themes emerged from the interviews: (1) the desire for increased formal education specific to pediatric complex chronic care patients; (2) designation of a primary intensivist; (3) modifying delivery of care to include a discrete location for care provision; (4) establishing daily, short-term, and long-term goals; (5) monitoring and documenting care milestones; (6) strengthening patient and family communications with the health care team; (7) optimizing discharge coordination and planning; and (8) integrating families into care responsibilities. Conclusions Pediatric intensive care unit health care providers’ perspectives of pediatric patients with complex chronic conditions indicated opportunities to refine the care provided by establishing daily goals, coordinating discharge planning, and creating occasions for close communication between patients, families, and providers.

Background The relationship of nurses and patients in healthcare settings has been central in ensuring good and efficient healthcare delivery. The total hospital attendance in the Kwahu Government Hospital have reduced in recent years. The study explored patients’ perceptions of the nurse-patient relationship and its influence on hospital attendance at the Kwahu Government Hospital. Methods A phenomenological qualitative study design, with a purposive sampling technique, was used to interview ten participants from the various wards in the hospital on their perceptions of the nurse patient relationship and its influence on hospital attendance. The data were transcribed and analysed using a thematic content analysis approach that embraces three interrelated stages, namely data reduction, data display, and data conclusion drawing. Results Many of the participants had positive perceptions regarding the attitude of nurses, and that influenced hospital attendance while others opined that nurses’ attitudes towards them made them attend a private facility. Almost all the participants suggested that patients should exhibit an equally good attitude and behaviour towards nurses, and better communication between patients and nurses as vital ways of improving the nurse-patient relationship. Nurses in the Kwahu Government Hospital are described as friendly, respectful and attend promptly to patient health care needs adequately. The range of perceived respect differed from patient to patient and include the nurse called patient by name, respond promptly to patient needs, helped “helpless patients” to feed and also assisted them change diapers, listen to patient concerns, linked patient to other professionals, work within the cultural context of hierarchy and that the nurse is sociable and interacted with patient positively. Conclusion Hospital management should conduct regular evaluations of patients' experiences as well as nurses’ experiences to address deficiencies in communication and nurse-patient interactions.
