Nurses have an important role in providing quality and patient-centered nursing care (Hee, Kamaludiin, & Ping, 2016). Patient-centered services is implemented in the form of Integrated Patient Care which is horizontal and vertical integration. Nursing assessments is carried out in a structured manner and be completed within the first 24 hours from the time the patient is admitted to the inpatient ward. Nursing Documentation is carried out in accordance with the steps of the nursing process including assessment, nursing problems/nursing diagnoses, planning, implementation and evaluation which is recorded on the sheet provided in the patient’s medical record book. After 24 hours of treatment are carried out and evaluated, patient progress is recorded in an integrated manner on the same sheet known as the “progress note” or in the term Hospital Accreditation Commission called the Integrated Nursing Progress Note (SNARS, 2017). In fact, overall nurses spending most of their time with patients and documenting comprehensive nursing care (Masumehc, Alia, Kabiria, Nadimia, & Abri, 2014)
Transition and initiation
Published in Karen Holland, Anthropology of Nursing, 2019
Learning to become a nurse takes place, as we have seen, in two major settings which student nurses then have the opportunity to engage in those aspects of nursing practice that they have to learn to either undertake as a skill or learn about in relation to the knowledge required to both practice these skills and to deliver nursing care that is underpinned by a strong evidence base. The continuation of a nursing culture and the inheritance of the traditional cultural knowledge that is part of nursing’s inheritance is an essential part of the student nurse transition to becoming a qualified nurse. Within this learning is the essential recognition of the centrality of the patient and also the centrality of the qualified nurses who take on the role of both guide and assessor to determine whether each student nurse does in fact ‘pass the test’ of joining their new cultural group. They are joined in this endeavour by the collaboration of the two segments in nursing education and practice who plan and approve the broad curriculum as the initiation guide for each future generation of student nurses.

Home health nursing is a special nursing specialty in which skilled nursing care is provided to patients in their homes by registered or licensed practical nurses. This specialty covers many important fields, such as palliative care, chronic disease care, dementia care, cancer care, and pain management. However, due to the diverse patients, complex diseases and professional specialties associated with this field, practitioners of home health nursing face many challenges, which may vary across countries and regions. One study conducted in Jordan reported that a lack of female staff, referral systems and health insurance schemes as well as poor governance and regulation, unethical practices, and low accessibility with regard to the poor and less privileged created challenges for home health care services (Ajlouni et al., 2015). In Singapore, complexities in social-relational, personal, and organizational factors are the central challenges (Wong et al., 2018), and according to relevant studies conducted in China, institutional and career disadvantages are notable in this context (Sun et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2021). In addition, patients, caregivers, nonprofessional health care providers, and supporters or facilitators have also been reported to perceive certain challenges, and all these findings can serve as proper references for the development of home health nursing.

The complexity of nursing care delivery to people with chronic disease calls for the attention of nursing professionals for the maintenance and improvement of the health condition of this particular type of patients. Among healthcare professionals, nurses play a pivotal role in caring for adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF), so extended knowledge is imperative in identifying the different phases of the chronic disease and understand how adolescents and their parents/family deal with this health-threatening situation. CF is a life-shortening genetic disease, transmitted by both parents, with the manifestation of symptoms in multiple organs mainly characterized by a disturbance of external secretion glands. Moreover, the potential presence of respiratory, hepatic, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and reproductive impairments can highly contribute to the frailty of the carrier’s health (Kliegman et al., 2017; Da Saúde, 2015). In Portugal, the prevalence rate is 1:7,963 of newborns and the life expectancy is around 40 years (Zolin et al., 2019). The delivery of care encompasses several contexts, namely hospital, primary health care, schools, homes, and this complex process implies involvement, partnership, negotiation, participation, and empowerment, both of adolescents and their families. Addressing the nurses’ perspective on these adolescents and their families has become the purpose of this research, aiming to describe the nurse’s role in the transition processes of the adolescents with cystic fibrosis and their parents.

There are models of clinical nursing care that are used to provide care in hospitals and health services particularly as they are related to acute and inpatient care (Fairbrother et al., 2015). Nursing models represent theorizing of nursing practises and are of prime importance in learning how to realize them and organizing delivery of nursing care (Pearson et al., 2005, p. 21–22). Numerous tools and models are used for assessing sexual function and providing interventions for sexual problems (Mick et al., 2004, p. 84–85). It is important to use appropriate models for communication between healthcare professionals and patients. Models such as BETTER (Bring up the topic, Explain, Telling, Timing, Education, Recording), PLISSIT (Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestion, Intensive Therapy), ALARM (Activity, Libido, Arousal, Resolution, Medical information), and PLEASURE can guide nurses by providing a framework involving appropriate steps in order to address sexual health issues of patients. These models can also help nurses talk about the topic of sexual health with their patients and they can help to promote women's sexual health using these models (Almeida et al., 2019, p. 1109–1110; Mick et al., 2004, p. 84–85).
