The college of Nursing at the University of Baghdad discussed a higher diploma thesis entitled “Evidence-based nursing practices related to nursing measures for patients with spinal cord injuries” by student Zainab Yahya Yassin, under the supervision of Professor Masra Abdullah Najm. The discussion took place in the college’s main hall.
The thesis aimed to evaluate and develop nursing practices for patients with spinal cord injuries based on the latest scientific evidence and proof, improve the quality of care provided, reduce complications, and enhance the rehabilitation process for patients.
The thesis concluded that there was an improvement in evidence-based nursing interventions, continuous assessment, prevention of complications, and rehabilitation support. The research also recommended that healthcare systems adopt standardized protocols for nursing care for patients with spinal cord injuries.
This study and academic efforts to develop the skills of nursing staff are in line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages by improving the quality of healthcare provided to the most vulnerable groups, such as patients with spinal cord injuries.
