Integrative Review for Patients With Bilateral Total Knee Replacement: A Call for Nursing Practice Guidelines

Orthopaedic Nursing
Theresa PietschFranz Vergara

Abstract

The aim of this joint project between the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses and the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses was to develop nursing practice guidelines for patients who experience bilateral knee arthroplasty (BTKA) across the continuum of care. No guidelines existed and an integrative review was completed to address this gap. An integrative review of refereed quantitative and qualitative research in published and gray literature was completed to answer the clinical questions: (1) What is the scope of evidence-based nursing interventions for patients undergoing BTKA? (2) What are patients' experiences with BTKA across the care continuum? The scope of the literature search was patients with bilateral and unilateral total knee arthroplasty. An evidence-based system was used to rate the strength of studies that met the criteria for inclusion in this review. The search method identified 588 potential titles but the analysis of the abstracts supported only 128 studies for possible inclusion in this project. The authors independently reviewed these studies and concluded that 126 studies did not meet the inclusion criteria and 2 quantitative studies were eligible for inclusion. Understanding which interventions are...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
