“…This also confirms another finding which stated that WFGs are commonly recommended as they are inexpensive and easy to maintain (29). Also, during the in‐depth interview, most of the interviewees mentioned other characteristics of use of WFGs which include ‘aiding of circulation, soothing the affected area and relieving pain’.…”

This cross-sectional descriptive survey examined use (knowledge, perception and practices) of water-filled gloves (WFGs) by nurses in the prevention of heel pressure ulcer (PU) in the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. Participants were 250 purposively selected nurses working in the Neurosciences and Surgical units. Quantitative data were generated through the administration of a semi-structured questionnaire, whereas the qualitative data were collected through in-depth interview. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square analysis at a significance level of 0.05, whereas the manual content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Results showed that a significant number of nurses at UCH, Ibadan, were knowledgeable about WFGs and actually used them in their clinical practice. Years of experience in clinical practice was found to be significantly related to knowledge and use of WFGs in heel PU (X(2) = 41·677; DF = 5; P = 0·001). Nurses with adequate knowledge of risk factors in the development of PU used WFGs more than those who were not aware (X(2) = 44·907; DF = 3; P = 0·009). Nurses' perception about WFGs was also significantly related to its use (X(2) = 4·527; DF = 1; P = 0·033). Although knowledge level and perception of WFGs and its use by nurses was fairly adequate, continuous education for practicing nurses should be encouraged in resource-limited settings.

“…The nurse lends support during difficult times in health and illness and in sorrow and joy. The nurse can identify spiritual strengths that assist the client in healing and help to instill hope (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2004).

<p>Faith community nursing is a model of nursing care that focuses on health promotion and disease prevention and the intentional care of the spirit within the context of a faith community's values, beliefs, and practices. The purpose of this program development project was to develop and identify an implementation plan for a faith community nursing program at the Church of The Apostles in Coventry, Rhode Island. A needs assessment was completed in order to determine the health status and risk factors of the congregants, identify diversity in needs within the congregation and to identify perceived needs and perceived barriers in meeting those needs. The needs assessment was an essential first step in assisting the church and the faith-based nurse. The approach used to complete the needs assessment included a demographic and health questionnaire and focus group. The nursing theoretical framework used to guide this project was a grand nursing theory based on human needs, The Neuman Systems Model. This model uses a systems approach to describe holistic health that is focused on a client's or client system's optimal well-being. The PRECEDE-PROCEED logic model was chosen as the framework to guide the construction of this long-term plan to develop a faith community nursing program. The proposed faith community nursing program will represent a Congregational model and an independent, stand-alone faith community nursing program. The health promotion program will be phased-in based on the needs of the congregation identified from the needs assessment.</p>
