Male nurses in bedside nursing: patients' experiences : A non-systematic literature review
No full textBakgrund Omvårdnad syftar till att stärka patientens självständighet och ta hänsyn till begreppen respekt, trygghet och delaktighet. Sjuksköterskans professionella ansvar omfattar att främja hälsa, förebygga sjukdom och erbjuda personcentrerad vård baserat på integritet och mänskliga rättigheter. Statistik visar på en ojämn könsfördelning i yrket, där manliga sjuksköterskor hör till den underrepresenterade gruppen. Männen i sin yrkesutövning möter utmaningar kopplade till könsstereotyper och traditionella normer, vilket kan påverka både deras roll och patienters erfarenheter av omvårdnad. Syfte Syftet för denna studie var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att vårdas av manliga sjuksköterskor. Metod En icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt med en bas på tio vetenskapliga originalartiklar med kvalitativ samt kvantitativ ansats genomfördes. Dessa artiklar samlades in från databaserna PubMed och CINAHL samt med manuella sökningar. Kvalitetsgranskningen av artiklarna utfördes enligt Sophiahemmet Högskola bedömningsunderlag för vetenskaplig klassificering och kvalitet. Resultatet sammanställdes och analyserades med en integrerad dataanalysmetod. Resultat Resultatet redovisas i tre huvudkategorier; Vikten av en professionell vårdrelation, Att kunna tillgodose preferenser och En medvetenhet av kulturella dimensioner. Resultatet visar att professionella vårdrelationer är avgörande för patienternas erfarenhet av omvårdnad. Manliga sjuksköterskor beskrivs bland annat som vänliga, stödjande och kompetenta, vilket leder till positiva upplevelser för patienterna, men de beskrivs även som att de har en bristande empati och respekt för integriteten. Detta bidrar i sin tur till de uttalade preferenserna för vårdgivare av samma kön, dock anser en del patienter att sjuksköterskans kompetens är viktigare än könstillhörigheten. Kulturella och religiösa normer visades även ha en påverkan på patienters inställning mot manliga sjuksköterskor. Slutsats De tillfrågade patienternas upplevelse av att erhålla vård från manliga sjuksköterskor präglas av både positiva och negativa aspekter, påverkade av kulturella, religiösa och könsrelaterade faktorer. Individanpassad vård, där empati och respekt prioriteras över kön, är avgörande för en positiv vårdupplevelse. Fortsatt breddande av forskning om patienters upplevelse av att erhålla vård från manliga sjuksköterskor behövs för att minska fördomar och för att förbättra vårdmiljön. Resultaten för denna litteraturöversikt har klinisk relevans för att skapa en bättre omvårdnad genom att möta patienternas behov och rättigheter.Background Nursing care aims to strengthen the patient’s independence and ensure respect, security, and participation. The professional responsibilities of the nurse include promoting health, preventing illness, and providing person-centered care based on integrity and human rights. Statistics indicate an uneven distribution in the profession, where male nurses belong to the underrepresented group. In their professional practice, male nurses face challenges related to gender stereotypes and traditional norms, which can affect both their role and patients' experiences of care. Aim The aim of this study was to describe patients’ experiences of receiving care from male nurses. Method A non-systematic literature review based on ten scientific original articles with qualitative and quantitative approaches was conducted. These articles were collected from the databases PubMed and CINAHL, as well through manual searches. The quality assessment of the articles was performed according to Sophiahemmet University's evaluation framework for scientific classification and quality. The results were combined and analyzed using an integrated data analysis method. Results The results are presented in three main categories; The importance of a professional care relationship, Meeting individual preferences, and An awareness of cultural dimensions. The results indicate that professional care relationships are crucial to patients’ experiences of care. Male nurses are described as friendly, supportive and competent, which contributes to positive experiences for patients. However, they are also described as lacking empathy and respect for privacy. This, in turn, influences the expressed preferences for caregivers of the same gender. Nevertheless, for some individuals, the caregiver's competence is considered more important than gender. Cultural and religious norms were also shown to affect patients' attitudes toward male nurses. Conclusions The surveyed patients' experiences of receiving care from male nurses are characterized by both positive and negative aspects, influenced by cultural, religious and gender-related factors. Personalized care, where empathy and respect are prioritized over gender, is essential for a positive care experience. Further research on patients' experiences of receiving care from male nurses is needed to reduce prejudices and improve the care environment. The results of this literature review have clinical relevance to create better nursing care by addressing patients' needs and rights

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
