Objectives: to identify the errors in daily intensive nursing care and analyze them according to the theory of human error. Method: quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study, undertaken at the Intensive Care Center of a hospital in the Brazilian Sentinel Hospital Network. The participants were 36 professionals from the nursing team. The data were collected through semistructured interviews, observation and lexical analysis in the software ALCESTE®. Results: human error in nursing care can be related to the approach of the system, through active faults and latent conditions. The active faults are represented by the errors in medication administration and not raising the bedside rails. The latent conditions can be related to the communication difficulties in the multiprofessional team, lack of standards and institutional routines and absence of material resources. Conclusion: the errors identified interfere in nursing care and the clients’ recovery and can cause damage. Nevertheless, they are treated as common events inherent in daily practice. The need to acknowledge these events is emphasized, stimulating the safety culture at the institution.
This review gives an overview about the existing research concerning siblings' perspective within the familial experiences of childhood chronic illness. Besides attaining a conception of their world, it was intended to identify the unacknowledged issues concerning siblings' experience. Four databases were systematically searched. The analysis was concentrated on nine literature reviews. As a result, we identified a map of dimensions of experiences—well-elaborated as well as fragmentary. Many of the studies were conducted by a proxy and not from the sole siblings' perspective. Further research should concentrate on the sole siblings' perspective, in order to make siblings' voices audible.
The global climate system is currently warming due to the increase in CO2 emissions caused by humans. Technically oriented efficiency strategies are seen more frequently as solutions to reach the European Union’s maximum two degrees Celsius target. Companies play an important role in limiting climate change and must either prepare for such consequences or adopt new strategies such as the sufficiency strategy.
This article will discuss how the sufficiency strategy and the promotion of sufficient living in the context of the tourism industry can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. Most common approaches toward sufficient living found in literature will be identified, analysed and discussed. Based on chosen keywords, the most common approaches were identified through a literature review of relevant journals from 1989 to 2014. Four main research fields that can promote sufficient living and reduce CO2 emissions were identified. Based on the prospects of the companies, it is apparent that sufficient strategies are not only able to support a market-orientated corporate management but also promote sufficient living and thus reduce CO2 emissions.
The following article deals with equivalence as a specific quality criterion concerning cross cultural research in psychology and provides an overview for this topic. The comparability of constructs as well as of data is analyzed. For this, the different levels of equivalence are regarded, e.g., translation equivalence and others. Classical as well as modern methods for the testing and guarantee of equivalence are analyzed. Critical approaches and methodical problems of cross cultural research are described.
The study at hand focuses the interdependencies between stress incidents and strategies of stress-coping in relation with well-being in helping professions. Furthermore, the scarce areas and the proband’s strategies of health behavior, comparing helping and other vocational groups, are investigated. The sample consist of teachers, bank employees, employees of marketing agencies, employees coming from the machine construction industry, as well as nurses, psychotherapists and physicians. The results show that everyday annoyances and problem-oriented stress-coping indeed affect well-being.
