SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

“Failure to rescue (FTR) is failure or delay in recognizing and responding to a hospitalized patient experiencing complications from a disease process or medical intervention” (Hall et al., 2020, Background section). It is viewed in three parts: failure to recognize, failure to report, and failure to treat. The first two of these are dependent on nursing.

The use of simulation training can increase confidence in recognizing a change in patient condition. This is a first step in preventing Failure To Rescue deaths, as well as other adverse outcomes.

The use of an effective communication tool like I-PASS can increase confidence …

From “The Coca-Cola Douche” To Embracing Pleasure: Media Representations And Irish Womens’ Lived Experiences Learning About Sexuality, Jaelynn Sutter, Taylon Mendenhall

SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

Media, for better or worse, is a powerful social influence that runs much deeper than the daily news. Our qualitative survey-based study focuses on how Irish women learn about and understand sexuality; our findings demonstrate the significant role media plays in this development. Specifically, our survey indicates the influence of the media in Irish women's lives as it leads to societal expectations. More than half of our participants cited media as an integral tool in learning about sexuality, including magazines, television, movies, novels, and the Internet. For some, media use in understanding their own identities opened the door to empowerment …

Access To Sexual Assault Care And Exams On College Campuses – A Research-To-Action Project, Brenna Schwien

SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

Introduction: The rates of unreported sexual assaults on college campuses is astounding. This can be attributed to different factors, some of those including access to a location where they are able to receive a Sexual Assault Kit, transportation to locations that offer that service, and overall lack of education pertaining to the process after sexual assault. It can be seen on campuses that offer these services; students are utilizing the service at higher rates that expected.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine how to provide students with sexual assault care on college campuses in hopes to resolve …

Standardized Patient Overlays In Undergraduate Nursing Simulation To Improve Clinical Competency, Vivian Bowman

SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

Nurse educators use simulation as a tool to teach and evaluate clinical skills. The opportunities have expanded with the advancement of new technologies related to high-fidelity (HFS) simulation. However, HFS has limitations, as there is a lack of meaningful two-way communication. During the last 10 years, educators have increased the usage of standardized patients (SPs) in simulation experiences. SPs can add realism to a simulation, providing nonverbal cues and psychological responses that a manikin cannot produce. Hybrid simulation further enhances the SP experience by incorporating a wearable overlay, such as a tracheostomy, urinary catheterization, or chest tube care simulator. This …

Transitioning Rn Residency Program: Implementing Medication Safety Education In Practice, Francine Lyon

SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

Clinical nursing can affect a nurse's physical and mental well-being. The aging population stresses healthcare providers, including nurses, due to the increased comorbidities and medications needed to treat them. New graduate nurses (NGRNs) can enhance their success by completing a Practice Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP). Despite residency programs, new nurses often find it challenging to meet the demands of clinical settings, leading to compromised patient outcomes and medication errors (MEs). Offering comprehensive medication administration education can reduce errors and discrepancies. Equipping new graduate nurses with the necessary knowledge and skills is crucial for improving patient outcomes and ensuring long-lasting nursing …

Are State Comprehensive Institutions Prepared For Ai? Not Yet., Brent J. Goertzen, Brett L. Whitaker, Donnette J. Noble, Justin Greenleaf, Ryan D. Olsen

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has profound implications for higher education and teaching and learning. The present study, conducted at a state, comprehensive university (SCU) is the US Midwest, evaluated how effective faculty in a leadership focused program are at differentiating between human or AI-generated content. Participants reviewed 12 “student assignments” representing short answer essays, and completed the following tasks: 1) evaluated the assignment on three dimensions of the grading rubric; 2) assigned a percent grade; 3) indicated whether it was human or AI-generated; and 4) provided a rationale for their selection.
