RESUMO

PURPOSE: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses have faced many professional and ethical dilemmas and challenges along with bearing physical, mental, and emotional stress resulting from worrying about themselves or their family being infected and stigmatized. This stress can potentially lead to burnout and resignation. Professional resilience is crucial for nurses to cope with these adverse situations. This study aimed to investigate the process by which nurses adapt, change, and overcome challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and ultimately demonstrate professional resilience. METHODS: Descriptive phenomenology was applied. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 nurses working in COVID-19 wards and intensive care units to collect data. Giorgi's phenomenological analysis method was employed. RESULTS: Based on the interview responses, four major themes were identified: 1) balancing patient care, self-protection, and passing on experience; 2) providing timely pandemic team resources and social support; 3) nurses' perseverance amid social discourse and constrained lives; and 4) selfless dedication shaping nursing's pinnacle experiences. CONCLUSIONS: In the face of a sudden pandemic, frontline nurses play a critical role in maintaining medical capacity. Consequently, they must balance their families, lives, and work while adapting to the impact of the pandemic and changing practices and procedures based on the development of the pandemic and policy demands. The study findings provide insights into the challenges and emotional experiences encountered by nurses during a sudden pandemic outbreak and can serve as a reference for developing strategies to help nurses overcome these challenges and enhance their professional resilience.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients must adhere to their prescribed warfarin regimens and regularly monitor the anticoagulation effect to maintain therapeutic levels. The ability to evaluate regimen adherence accurately is crucial to the success of patient coaching. However, prevention of thromboembolic events is challenging when the association between medication adherence and the actual amount of anticoagulant agent taken cannot be determined. PURPOSE: This study used self-reported medication taken and prescription refills to (a) verify warfarin medication adherence and (b) assist clinicians to determine the discrepancy between medication adherence and anticoagulant control efficacy. METHODS: This study was conducted at a national-university-affiliated hospital in Yilan County, Taiwan. Structured questionnaires and medical record reviews were adopted. A 100-point visual analog scale was used to measure the reported adherence of participants, whereas medication refill adherence was compared against self-reported adherence. Finally, degree of adherence was evaluated based on time in therapeutic range. RESULTS: This study included 192 participants. Half (n = 94, 49%) were women, and the mean age was 69.6 years. Mean scores were 92.2% for the visual analog scale and 87.3% for medication refill adherence. Medication adherence correlated significantly with age, as reflected in the visual analog scale scores (p < .05). The participants who were receiving polypharmacy with five types of medicines or less attained higher visual analog scale scores, whereas participants who were on warfarin for 2-12 months exhibited higher medication refill adherence. Time in therapeutic range correlated negatively with age, although stability improved with therapy duration. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Despite their high self-reported adherence levels, patients of advanced age require careful monitoring of their time in therapeutic range. The participants in this study who were on warfarin for a relatively longer time exhibited higher stability in the therapeutic range, despite their low medication refill adherence. The results of this study suggest that patient age, duration of warfarin therapy, and polypharmacy are factors associated with medication adherence. The findings may facilitate future assessments of warfarin adherence in patients as well as the implementation of more effective clinical nursing procedures and management practices.
