The safe transfer of acutely ill patients
Published in Peate Ian, Dutton Helen, Acute Nursing Care, 2020
As key members of the multidisciplinary team, nurses have a professional responsibility to work within ethical and legal frameworks. These responsibilities are outlined in their code of professional conduct. Their foremost concerns are with the prioritisation of the patients in their care and acting in their best interests. This may be at odds with transfers for non-clinical reasons (NMC 2018).

Another way of illustrating the significance of the ethics paradigm for professional ethics is to consider a variety of approaches to professional ethics. Again, the concepts of identity, accountability, and quality in the ethics paradigm can help to organize the multiple topics that are presented. This consideration of each concept occurs in relation to several influential books, as follows: The Elements of Ethics for Professionals, Ethical Dimensions in the Health Professions, Ethics for Health Professionals, The Helping Professional’s Guide to Ethics, Nursing Ethics and Professional Responsibility, and Public Value and Public Administration.56

With the philosophical shift from organs and knowledge to patients and performance as focal points, medical curricula throughout the world are slowly beginning to encompass their professional responsibility in dealing with the patient as opposed to an organ or disease, communication skills, professionalism and the social, economic and cultural aspects determining the significance of social determinants of the patient’s health. Furthermore Harden3 highlights the importance of considering learning outcomes for health promotion and disease, including international dimensions if students are to practise in a global economy.4 The focus of this chapter is to outline current pedagogical approaches and learning technologies being used at international levels in Australia, Hong Kong, the US, and the UK. It will highlight educational strategies and learning opportunities adopted such as problem-based learning, community-based learning and interprofessional cooperation to match the learning outcomes as delivered, assessed and evaluated in health promotion.

Communication is especially important in a psychologically safe OR team. All team members reported a professional responsibility and accountability to safe patient care, which may motivate speaking up.13–15 However, fear of retribution, not wanting to cause trouble, or feeling ignored remain top concerns.16,17 In our study, team familiarity was identified as a contributor to psychological safety; consistent teams also facilitated trust, camaraderie, and openness.18 In contrast, most team members who rotate on to ad hoc teams reported decreased psychological safety stemming in part from communication problems, which can be exacerbated due to a lack of team identity, familiarity, and trust.19 In all teams, communication problems may arise due to differences in perception and values.20 Team communication may benefit from incorporating standardized processes that share information efficiently and predictably (i.e., the SBAR technique, situation-background-assessment-recommendation).19,21,22 At an organizational level, maintaining a culture of safety that values team members’ concerns and validates their contributions can further motivate team members to speak up.23
Measuring therapeutic relationship in physiotherapy: conceptual foundations

The relationship has both professional aspects (e.g. working relationship) and personal aspects (parts of the relationship that are more like a friendship). Professional refers to the professional responsibility of physiotherapists to understand and act to help patients with their rehabilitation goals (i.e. the ‘duty of care’). It is considered an essential part of therapeutic relationship in physiotherapy. Personal is characterized by the patient and physiotherapist taking an interest in, or caring about, one another in ways that are outside of the specific tasks and goals of rehabilitation. Highlighting the personal and professional dimensions of therapeutic relationship is a feature of Miciak’s definition and framework that makes it distinct from other conceptualizations of therapeutic relationship in physiotherapy.
Effects of Transcultural Nursing Education on the Professional Values, Empathic Skills, Cultural Sensitivity and Intelligence of Students
Published in Journal of Community Health Nursing, 2020

Due to values that the society attributes to women, it is expected that women’s way of sensing culture and cultural sensitivity would be higher than men (Bayık Temel, 2008; Ceylantekin & Öcalan, 2016). However, in our study, there was no statistically significant relationship between ISS posttest mean scores and gender in the experiment and control groups (p > .05; Table 5). The reason for this result may be that professional responsibility passed beyond cultural sensitivity. However, it was found that the ISS posttest mean scores of the females in the experiment group were significantly higher than the females in the control group (p < .05; Table 5). One of the reasons for this result may be that the TN course increased cultural sensitivity as well as the caregiving role that the society imposes on women.
