Transdisciplinary Assignments In Graduate Health Education As A Model For Future Collaboration, Catherine Christie, A Russell Smith Jr., Michele Bednarzyk
Catherine Christie
Transdisciplinary health care continues to be at the forefront of patient treatment in the medical arena, in part due to escalating health care costs, an increasing aging population, and the development of multiple chronic diseases. Gaining the knowledge, experience, and principles associated with transdisciplinary teamwork to successfully prepare for modern-day practice is therefore essential for individuals of various health care professions. This report describes an assignment developed and implemented to facilitate professional interaction between graduate physical therapy, nutrition, and nursing students. The objectives of this assignment were to determine through student evaluation the effects of a transdisciplinary experience on students' …
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Melissa Lehan Mackin
Racial autobiography, self-narratives on how one learned about the idea of race, has been underutilized as a tool to familiarize and orient students in the process of critical inquiry for nursing research. The aims of this article are to explore how racial autoethnography: (1) repositions students to effect an epistemological change, (2) challenges dominant ideology, and (3) functions as a link between the student and critical theories for use in nursing research. Students engage in and share reflective narrative about a variety of instructional materials used in the course. Reflective narratives are presented in a framework that addresses white racial …

Fall Prevention Practices In Adult Medical-Surgical Nursing Units Described By Nurse Managers, L. Shever, M. Titler, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Kueny
Melissa Lehan Mackin
The purpose of this article was to describe nursing practices (e.g., assessment, interventions) around fall prevention, as perceived by nurse managers in adult, medical-surgical nursing units. One hundred forty nurse managers from 51 hospitals from across the United States participated. Descriptive frequencies are used to describe nurse manager responses. The most commonly used fall risk assessment tool was the Morse Fall Risk Assessment Tool (40%). The most common fall prevention interventions included bed alarms (90%), rounds (70%), sitters (68%), and relocating the patient closer to the nurses' station (56%). Twenty-nine percent of nurse managers identified physical restraints as an intervention …

Becoming A Registered Nurse: The Nurse Extern Experience, K. Starr, Virginia Conley
Becoming A Registered Nurse: The Nurse Extern Experience, K. Starr, Virginia Conley
Virginia M. Conley
Little is known about the perceptions of nursing students externing in newly developed hospital-based programs that focus on socialization and transition to the registered nurse (RN) role rather than on institutional recruitment and retention goals. This qualitative study explored student nurse externs' expectations, experiences, and benefits of participation in a student-focused externship program. Externs wanted to gain experience with skills and learn what it was like to be an RN. Goals were met or exceeded by becoming comfortable in the externship role, growing in skill performance and confidence, and becoming members of the healthcare team. The experience fostered growth from …

Reconceptualizing The Core Of Nurse Practitioner Education And Practice, M. Burman, A. Hart, Virginia Conley, J. Brown, P. Sherard, P. Clarke
Reconceptualizing The Core Of Nurse Practitioner Education And Practice, M. Burman, A. Hart, Virginia Conley, J. Brown, P. Sherard, P. Clarke
Virginia M. Conley
PURPOSE: The movement to the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is progressing rapidly with new programs emerging and curricular documents being developed. We argue that the implementation of the DNP is a good move for nursing, provided that we use the opportunity to reconceptualize the core of advanced practice nursing, especially nurse practitioner (NP) practice. DATA SOURCES: Theory and research articles from nursing focused on advanced practice nursing, NPs, and doctoral education. CONCLUSIONS: The foundation of NP education is currently based essentially on borrowed or shared content in assessment, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. We argue that the heart and soul of …

Nursing Management Innovations: A Need For Systematic Evaluation, J. C. Mccloskey, M. Mass, Carol Watson, C. Gongaware, Diane Huber, M. Blegen, M. Johnson, A. Kasparek, C. Delaney, K. Kelly
Diane Huber
While emphasis in nursing is placed on research on clinical interventions, there has been little attention to the equally important management interventions. The concept of a management intervention or innovation is introduced here and five types of management innovations in nursing are identified. An overview of the research base for four of the innovations demonstrates the need for systematic evaluation.

The Diversity Of Case Management Models, Diane Huber
Diane Huber
Case management is experiencing rapid growth and evolutionary transition. This article explores the diversity and richness of case management models found in practice. Interdisciplinary communication in case management programs can be facilitated by an awareness of discipline-specific definitions and models. A categorization of models is described as a device to stimulate multidisciplinary case management collaboration.
Career Commitment In Nursing, Diane Gardner
Career Commitment In Nursing, Diane Gardner
Diane Huber
There are different patterns and styles to careers in nursing. The concept of career commitment in nursing is explored, and the results of some research are discussed for their implications for nursing careers. A longitudinal, repeated-measures descriptive survey was used to measure career commitment and explore its relationship to turnover and work performance in 320 newly employed registered nurses at one hospital. Career commitment scores dropped significantly over the first year. Although career commitment does correlate with turnover, and there is a relationship with job performance, the direct association is weak. Career commitment is not a stable phenomenon in the …
Nursing Management Minimum Data Set (Nmmds), Diane Huber, L. Schumacher, C. Delaney
Nursing Management Minimum Data Set (Nmmds), Diane Huber, L. Schumacher, C. Delaney
Diane Huber
The Nursing Management Minimum Data Set (NMMDS) is the research-based management data set that meets the nurse executives need for a specific nursing management data capture system that will produce accurate, reliable, and useful data for decision making. The authors update the development of the NMMDS and discuss the 17 NMMDS across-settings elements. Also discussed are the applications of the NMMDS to clinical practice and some ways in which the NMMDS can benefit both nurses and patient/client care.

The Iowa Model: A Proposed Model For Nursing Administration, M. Johnson, Diane Gardner, K. Kelly, Meridean Maas, J. Mccloskey
Diane Huber
The purpose of the Iowa Model is to serve both as a heuristic device and as a framework for articulating knowledge for nursing administration research, practice, and education. The model delineates two domains of knowledge (systems and outcomes), each with three levels (patient aggregates, the organization, and the health care system). Concepts useful for knowledge development are identified for each level. Practice, research, and curricular applications of the model are made.

The Council seeks to identify the nature and direction of education for administration in nursing in various healthcare systems, providing guidelines for programs offering administration. A major goal of CGEAN is facilitating dialogue between nursing service administrators and graduate level educators who are engaged in teaching and research related to administration in nursing. This column, sponsored by the members of the Council, analyzes and responds to position statements and trends related to the delivery of health services …
Catastrophe And Nursing Turnover: Nonlinear Models, C. Wagner, Diane Huber
Catastrophe And Nursing Turnover: Nonlinear Models, C. Wagner, Diane Huber
Diane Huber
Creating a culture of retention is one antidote to high costs of nurse turnover. However, nurse turnover behavior has proven to be largely uncertain and unpredictable. A new approach to analyzing nurse turnover attitudes and behavior is discussed. A cusp catastrophe nonlinear model of nurse turnover is presented as having usefulness for the prediction of turnover for managerial decision making in nursing care delivery systems. Viewing nursing from the perspective of nonlinear dynamics can create new strategies for effective and efficient nursing services.

Dose Of Case Management Interventions, Diane Huber, J. Hall, T. Vaughn
Dose Of Case Management Interventions, Diane Huber, J. Hall, T. Vaughn
Diane Huber
Case management programs need to be evaluated for outcomes achievement and efficient use of resources. As a provider intervention, case management is interactional and situational. Little is known about how to measure the actual dose delivered in order to assess quality and manage outcomes. Case management is interdisciplinary, has identifiable dimensions, and serves as a practical example of conceptualizing and measuring the dosage of a provider's intervention. The basic elements of the dosage of an intervention are amount, frequency, duration, and breadth. A three-dimensional model illustrates dosage of case management.

The Medical Outcomes Study: A Nursing Perspective, K. Kelly, Diane Huber, M. Johnson, J. Mccloskey, Meridean Maas
Diane Huber
The authors analyze the Medical Outcomes Study framework as a means of measuring the effectiveness of a multidimensional, interdisciplinary health care delivery system. The potential for this model to measure outcomes resulting from the interventions of nurses is demonstrated. The similarities between variables in the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) framework and in research in nursing are presented. Modifications in the framework are suggested that would represent the collaboration among physicians, nurses, and allied health practitioners and the influence of their interaction on patient outcomes. The authors also suggest adding the domain of societal outcomes to include such outcome variables as …

Issues Related To The Use Of Nurse Extenders, Diane Gardner
Issues Related To The Use Of Nurse Extenders, Diane Gardner
Diane Huber
The nursing shortage has prompted a recurring discussion about the appropriate mix of bedside care givers in nursing that can be constructed to ensure quality patient care. As nursing's role has become more professional, there has arisen a need to differentiate work tasks and develop nurse extenders. The author discusses nursing and non-nursing duties as they relate to a model of nurse extenders and related practice issues.

Adjunct Executive Appointment For Faculty. An Innovation In Nursing Collaboration, K. Kelly, Diane Gardner, M. Johnson, Meridean Maas, J. Mccloskey, M. Bowers, J. Maske, S. Mathis, Janet Specht, Carol Watson
Diane Huber
The need for collaboration has never been greater. The healthcare delivery system faces unprecedented challenges arising from prospective payment, competition in the marketplace, higher patient acuity levels, and a shortage of professional nursing staff. The authors discuss a service-education collaboration model based on adjunct executive appointments of faculty members to healthcare organizations. The authors describe the model, a conceptual framework to guide its development, case studies of its implementation, and a summary of the benefits and risks associated with the initial implementation of the model.
