“…Similar results have been confirmed when assessing independence using the Modified Barthel Index [10] or when using the Instrumental Activities Daily Living Test [11]. The support of independence and physical comfort as a QoL dimension should rank among the most frequently administered nursing interventions [32, 33].…”

IntroductionA fear of falling marks an important psychological factor connected with a reduction in the life space of people with dementia. The Czech version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) has not been validated in patients with early-stage dementia.MethodsThe tests were administered to 282 patients with early-stage dementia. The test battery included the following: the FES-I, the Short Physical Performance Battery, the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Bristol Activity Daily Living Scale, and the Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale. Internal reliability (Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation [ICC]), Pearson's and Spearman's correlations, exploratory factor analysis, and a t test for independent samples were used for statistical analyses.ResultsThe Czech version of the FES-I had excellent internal and test-retest reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.98, ICC = 0.90; 95′ CI 0.82–0.94). Factor analysis suggested 2 relevant factors. A significantly higher FES-I score was associated with patients with early-stage dementia who were older (p = 0.003) or female (p = 0.001), lived alone (p = 0.0001), spent >8 h a day alone (p = 0.032), used mobility aids (p < 0.0001), or had severe hearing (p = 0.004) or vision impairment (p < 0.0001) or a lower education (r = −0.16, p = 0.007).ConclusionThe Czech version of the FES-I had very good reliability and validity and may be useful in future cross-cultural comparisons in research among patients with early-stage dementia.

“…To deliver high-quality care, healthcare professionals must understand the principles of EOL care and be able to put them into practice. Competence in symptomatic treatment, such as fundamental care and pain management, is considered to be an essential part of EOL care (22,23). It has been observed that physical needs of the patients are usually prioritised, and emotional support and spiritual needs of the dying patient are rarely provided (22,24).…”

Background Studies of nurses’ required competence in EOL care in health centres are rare. It is important to produce information about experienced nurses’ perceptions of the competence they consider important in their practical work. Aim The aim of this study was to describe nurses’ required competence in EOL care in health centre inpatient wards as experienced by nurses. Method A descriptive qualitative study using four semi‐structured group interviews (20 nurses) and inductive descriptive content analysis. Results Five categories describing nurses’ required competence in EOL care in a health centre inpatient ward were identified: (1) ethics and courage in action, (2) support for the patient, (3) support for the family, (4) care planning and (5) physical care. Factors promoting nurses’ competence in EOL care comprised two categories: (1) professional development in EOL care and (2) an organisation that supports EOL care. Conclusions End‐of‐life care in health centre inpatient wards requires wide and complex competence from nurses. Nurses’ experiences of required competence are associated with holistic care of the patient, encountering the family and multiprofessional cooperation. Nurses’ competence in EOL care could be enhanced with postgraduate education, and educational planning should be given more attention in the future.

Objective:to identify the nursing interventions associated with the most accurate and frequently used NANDA International, Inc. (NANDA-I) nursing diagnoses for patients with liver cirrhosis. Method:this is a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study. Results:a total of 12 nursing diagnoses were evaluated, seven of which showed high accuracy (IVC ≥ 0.8); 70 interventions were identified and 23 (32.86%) were common to more than one diagnosis. Conclusion:in general, nurses often perform nursing interventions suggested in the NIC for the seven highly accurate nursing diagnoses identified in this study to care patients with liver cirrhosis. Accurate and valid nursing diagnoses guide the selection of appropriate interventions that nurses can perform to enhance patient safety and thus improve patient health outcomes.
