ABSTRACT

Five years have passed since the Japan Nursing Association started the Diagnostic Service for Improving Labor and Nursing Quality (DiNQL). We have participated in DiNQL data input support analysis activities since 2013, and the DiNQL Promotion Committee was launched in 2015. Here, we report on the activities of the DiNQL Promotion Committee and evaluate the results of these activities. The DiNQL Promotion Committee's four main activities involve being in charge of the floor at meetings, clarifying the input method aimed at shortening data collection time, supporting analysis of the DiNQL data input, and holding workshops for analysis and utilization. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to 43 ward nursing managers (including section chiefs and managers) to evaluate these committee activities. Both section chiefs and clerical staff responded that DiNQL data input time was shortened by more than 90%. Section chiefs comprised 64% and managers 79% of those who responded that DiNQL data could be utilized for determining annual departmental goals. In total, 71% of managers and 50% of section chiefs responded that DiNQL data is useful for nursing management. Based on these results, we confirmed that setting up the DiNQL Promotion Committee and its activities has led to nursing management support.

ABSTRACT

A vascular access catheter has been widely used for hemodialysis patients in an emergency when an arteriovenous shunt get clogged and cannot be reopened or when patients have no arterio-venous fistula. However, it often causes deterioration in activities of daily living (ADLs) and other troubles. Therefore, we place the catheter into the internal jugular vein in the neck to minimize the risk of complications and patients' inconvenience. Nevertheless, free spaces tend to be created between the dressing agent and skin because the articular excursion is wide in the neck. Although the CDC (Centerfor Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines recommended that the dressing tapes should be changed once every seven days, we change the tapes every two or four days to avoid peeling-off. In this study, we examine the difference in fixation ability between two types of tapes;standard size (10×12 cm) and 1/4 cut-size (5×6 cm). Our results showed that there were significant differences in peeling-off area between the two tapes. The smaller-sized tape had better adhesion to the skin so that you could not peel it off easily. Furthermore, the smaller one stuck fast to the catheter and needed less replacement. Consequently, the skins seemed to be more protected.
