Exploring the genuine psychological experiences of novice nurses at emergency resuscitation events: A qualitative interview study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

An emergency rescue situation is an inevitable challenge in medical work, requiring collaborative efforts from healthcare professionals. Due to a lack of practical experience, novice nurses may encounter difficulties in successfully managing emergency resuscitation events. This study aimed to analyse the authentic psychological experiences of novice nurses participating in emergency resuscitation events by exploring applicable coping methods and management strategies.

Methods

This study utilized a hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative research method. We employed purposive sampling to select 27 Novice nurses from West China Hospital of Sichuan University for face-to-face semistructured interviews. Data collection for this study was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. The interviews were fully audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were coded, categorized and summarized with the help of Nvivo 20.0 software based on the interpretation of phenomenological research methods. Thematic analysis was performed to deeply analyse and extract corresponding themes. The COREQ criteria were used to guide the reporting of this study.

Results

The authentic psychological experiences of novice nurses participating in emergency rescue events mainly include six aspects: lack of rescue knowledge reserves and related abilities, psychological and emotional changes, psychological stress after the rescue, rational arrangement of manpower, team cooperation, and postevent reflection and learning. Their authentic psychological experiences directly affect whether novice nurses can effectively respond to emergency rescue events.

Conclusions

This study suggested enhancing novice nurses' knowledge, improving their resuscitation skills, and improving their psychological well-being during resuscitation events. It advocates for organized staffing, effective teamwork, and robust support systems to empower novice nurses and improve their overall capabilities in emergencies. These findings offer valuable insights for future research in this area.

Project description:ObjectiveDespite the prevalence of emergency medical service assignments related to chest discomfort, limited research delves into nurses' experiences of caring for such patients. This study aimed to illuminate prehospital emergency nurses' (PENs') experiences of caring for patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI).DesignA qualitative interview study.SettingTwo Swedish emergency medical service organisations in two different regions.ParticipantsConsecutive inclusion of 12 PENs.Data analysisAn inductive content analysis according to Elo and Kyngäs.ResultsThe results underline the active role of PENs in providing care for patients with AMI in the emergency medical service. They emphasise the ability to identify classic symptoms and the need for an open-minded approach to diffuse presentations. Ensuring patient security, projecting knowledge and composure are decisive for instilling a sense of safety. Healthcare providers feel profound responsibility and a fear of errors, especially in critical situations with potential patient deterioration. Prioritisation in time-sensitive cases leans towards medical interventions and immediate transportation. Continuing education is essential to enhance patient management and safety. Effective communication and trust are vital for urgent patient care, and prompt activation of the ST-elevation myocardial infarction pathway is recognised as imperative. Malfunctions result in frustration, underlining the importance of pathway functionality.ConclusionsPENs have immense responsibility for the swift and knowledgeable management of patients with suspected AMI. Balancing patient involvement and urgent medical measures is challenging, emphasising the critical role of mental preparedness and comprehensive education. The study underlines the significance of effective communication and trust between healthcare providers, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios. Establishing feedback mechanisms for prehospital staff is important for advancing prehospital emergency care in this patient category.

Project description:ObjectivesTo explore the emergency medical dispatchers (EMDs) experiences of managing emergency medical calls.DesignA qualitative interview study with an inductive approach. EMDs were interviewed individually using a semistructured interview guide. The verbatim transcripts were analysed using a qualitative content analysis.SettingEMDs, without a professional background as registered nurses, were recruited from emergency medical communication centers (EMCCs) within Sweden.ParticipantsTo achieve a varied description of EMDs' experiences, participants were included from several EMCCs nationally, using a convenience sampling. Interviews were performed up until saturation of data, resulting in 13 EMDs from 7 EMCCs being interviewed. All the EMDs were women, ranging in age from 28 to 61 years (mean 42 years), and had worked in emergency medical dispatching between 1 and 13.5 years (mean 6.5 years).ResultsThe analysis revealed the main category-to attentively manage a multifaceted, interactive task-made up of three categories: utilize creativity to gather information, continuously process and assess complex information, and engage in the professional role. The content of each category was reflected in several subcategories further described and illustrated with representative quotes.ConclusionsManaging emergency medical calls was experienced by EMDs to attentively manage a multifaceted interactive task. Core parts were described as: the ability to utilize creativity to gather information, continuously process and asses complex information, and engage in the professional role. Our results could be beneficial for emergency care managers when designing training programmes and organising EMD work and the EMD work environment, including further development of dispatch protocols and implementation of regular feedback sessions. Moreover, the results indicate that aspects such as self-awareness and emotional challenges encountered during EMD work could be important matters to discuss during staff evaluations.

Project description:BackgroundBreastfeeding and human milk have well-documented health benefits for newborn infants, particularly those who are sick. However, breastfeeding rates and human milk feeding among infants in neonatal intensive units (NICU) in Thailand are still low; thus, breastfeeding promotion and support are required for Thai mothers of premature infants. Newly graduated nurses can play a critical role within the healthcare support system and can have a significant impact on improving breastfeeding practices in the NICU. The objective of this study was to investigate the lived experiences and perspectives of Thai novice nurses on supporting breastfeeding and human milk feeding in the NICU.MethodsThe study was conducted between March 2021 and May 2022 at three medical centers in the central region of Thailand. This study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore Thai novice nurses' experiences and perspectives on breastfeeding. Purposive sampling was used to invite Thai novice nurses who have work experience in providing breastfeeding support to NICU mothers and their infants to participate in online interviews using a video conference platform (Zoom). Semi-structured questions were used to interview study participants in their native language. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method of data analysis to identify emergent themes. Member checks, peer debriefing, and self-reflection were applied to ensure the validity and trustworthiness of the study results. Back-translation was also used as a quality and accuracy assurance.ResultsA total of thirteen novice nurses agreed to participate in the study. All were female, and their ages ranged from 21 to 24 years old at the time of the interview. The researchers identified five major themes related to the overall study objectives and research questions. They are: positive attitude toward breastfeeding and human milk, facing breastfeeding challenges at work, self-confidence rooted in experience, professional skill needs, and requiring further support.ConclusionsOur results suggest that breastfeeding education plays a vital role in encouraging new nurses to provide breastfeeding support to mothers of preterm infants. Establishing breastfeeding support training and innovative learning strategies can be crucial in developing appropriate breastfeeding practice guidelines and policies to support Thai breastfeeding mothers in the NICU.
