GSN-International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) invites all nurses to attend their workshop entitled:

"Healthcare Management: Effective Team Dynamics in the Healthcare Setting Workshop" with PRC- CPE Units and International Standards

Effective Team Dynamics

A successful team doesn’t ‘just happen’. It’s rare for a group of individuals to work together without friction, and hoping that everything will simply just click into place when it matters simply isn’t going to work in the longer term. For a team to succeed, they need to continually practice and challenge their collaboration.

Only by constantly improving interactions and looking at the relationships between its members, can real teamwork be achieved. But when it does work, the rewards are significant. In fact, when a team works successfully and efficiently, everyone benefits. When synergy is created between its members, a winning team can truly perform better than the sum of its parts; far more than the individual members are capable of. It shows how to create strong bonds of mutual trust and respect between colleagues.

This will help you to:

* increase the productivity of your team
* establish a common purpose
* assume responsibility and accountability
* improve delegation skills
* develop the potential of people
* improve communication skills
* create mutual trust, support, and collaboration
* develop high-performance teamwork

* Risky Adolescent Behavior

High-risk activities in adolescence—unprotected sex, substance abuse, violence, and other forms of risky behavior—remain a pervasive and costly problem in Western societies, despite extensive efforts to prevent or reduce these activities through intervention programs.

An evolutionary perspective provides a fresh alternative to the mental health model. In particular, risky behaviors might reflect adaptations to harsh environments rather than deviations from optimal development.

The dominant scientific paradigm for explaining these high-risk behaviors can be termed the mental health model, which assumes (implicitly if not explicitly) that harsh social environments adversely affect children’s wellbeing, promoting disturbances in development, even if not clinical disorders per se. This model emphasizes the costs and largely ignores the benefits of risk-taking, making it difficult to explain the motives for risky behavior in adolescents.

Issues and Challenges in Gerontologic Nursing

GSN - International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) proudly present and invite all NURSES on our Workshop entitled:
"Issues and Challenges in Gerontologic Nursing : Managing Caregiver's fatigue in families with Alzheimer's Disease" Workshop

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease impacts every aspect of daily life. As Alzheimer’s patients lose one ability after another, caregivers face tests of stamina, problem-solving, and resiliency. During this long and difficult journey, communication diminishes, rewards decrease, and without strong support, caretakers face challenges to their own well-being.

Maintaining emotional and physical fitness is crucial. Preparing and protecting yourself, working to understand your loved one’s experience, and embracing help from others can minimize the hazards and enhance the joys of your caregiving experience.

* Physician hand off upon transfer to another hospital setting



Standards for Hand Off Communication:

- Hand off communication is interactive, allowing the opportunity for questioning between the giver and receiver of patient/client/resident information

- Hand off communication includes up to date information regarding the patient care, treatment and service, condition and any recent or anticipated changes

- Interruptions are to be minimized to limit the possibility that information would fail to be conveyed or would be forgotten.

- Hand off communication requires process for verification of the received information including repeat-back or read-back as appropriate.

- The receiver of the hand off information has the opportunity to review relevant patient historical data, which includes previous care, treatment, or services.

- Hand off communication is required for all patients who are deemed to be at risk for elopement, suicide, combative destructive issues, seizures, seclusion or restraint who are currently on precautions as well as those patients who have just been removed from precautions and/or those patients with special care needs.

"Infection Control in Health Care Setting / Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) Workshop"

GSN-International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) invites all nurses to attend their workshop entitled:
 
"Infection Control in Health Care Setting / Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) Workshop" with 8 PRC- CPE Units and International Standards 
 

A hospital-acquired infection is usually one that first appears three days after a patient is admitted to a hospital or other health-care facility.

Infections acquired in a hospital are also called nosocomial infections
Hospital-acquired infections are usually related to a procedure or treatment used to diagnose or treat the patient's illness or injury. About 25% of these infections can be prevented by healthcare workers taking proper precautions when caring for patients.

Hospital-acquired infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These microorganisms may already be present in the patient's body or may come from the environment, contaminated hospital equipment, healthcare workers, or other patients. Depending on the causal agents involved, an infection may start in any part of the body. A localized infection is limited to a specific part of the body and has local symptoms. For example, if a surgical wound in the abdomen becomes infected, the area of the wound becomes red, hot, and painful. A generalized infection is one that enters the bloodstream and causes general systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, low blood pressure, or mental confusion.

Hospital-acquired infections may develop from surgical procedures, catheters placed in the urinary tract or blood vessels, or from material from the nose or mouth that is inhaled into the lungs. The most common types of hospital-acquired infections are urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, and surgical wound infections.
