Shaping The Future Of Nursing Education In Ireland, Pauline Joyce
Shaping The Future Of Nursing Education In Ireland, Pauline Joyce
Pauline Joyce
This paper presents core principles of curriculum design. These principles were used as categories following analysis of submissions made to the Nursing Education Forum in Ireland between 1999/2000. This forum was established following a Commission on Nursing, set up to examine the future of nursing in Ireland. The transition from curriculum design to curriculum development is considered and a summary of curriculum activities is outlined. The paper concludes by presenting questions to focus further discussion.
Refinement Of The Shared Care Instrument-Revised: A Measure Of A Family Care Interaction, Margaret Sebern
Refinement Of The Shared Care Instrument-Revised: A Measure Of A Family Care Interaction, Margaret Sebern
Margaret Sebern
This study’s purpose was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Shared Care Instrument-Revised (SCI-R) in a sample of family care dyads. The SCI-R was developed to measure the construct of shared care, which is a system of three constructs (communication, decision making, reciprocity) used in family care to exchange support. An important aspect of evaluating the SCI-R was to create a measure that is statistically sound and meaningful for patient and caregivers. Surveys were mailed to randomly selected home health dyads, which included 223 patients and 220 caregivers. Reliability and confirmatory factor analysis, and concurrent validity were examined. Internal …
Shared Care, Elder And Family Member Skills Used To Manage Burden, Margaret Sebern
Shared Care, Elder And Family Member Skills Used To Manage Burden, Margaret Sebern
Margaret Sebern
Aim. The aim of this paper is to further develop the construct of Shared Care by comparing and contrasting it to related research, and to show how the construct can be used to guide research and practice. Background. While researchers have identified negative outcomes for family caregivers caused by providing care, less is known about positive aspects of family care for both members of a family dyad. Understanding family care relationships is important to nurses because family participation in the care of chronically ill elders is necessary to achieve optimal outcomes from nursing interventions. A previous naturalistic inquiry identified a …

The two subjects incorporate core values and principles to guide the teaching of mental health nursing, learning outcomes that reflect the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) competencies and are based on recommendations from the Mental Health …
The Effect Of Education On Rehabilitation Nursing Staff Knowledge, Kristen L. Mauk
The Effect Of Education On Rehabilitation Nursing Staff Knowledge, Kristen L. Mauk
Kristen L. Mauk
Rehabilitation is a specialty area with defined competencies and discrete nursing knowledge. Unless nurses have been educated in the basic competencies of rehabilitation, they are not prepared to provide safe, quality rehabilitative care to patients with chronic illnesses and disabilities. An evidence-based practice project was designed to address the need for education of the nursing staff working on an inpatient rehabilitation unit in Northwest Indiana. Roger's Diffusion of Innovations provided the theoretical framework for the project. A critical appraisal of the literature was conducted to determine best practice. The literature showed that education increased knowledge in a specialty area, and …

Caregiving: Concept Analysis And Outcomes, Elizabeth Swanson, Deborah Schoenfelder, Janet Specht, M. Johnson, Meridean Maas, D. Saylor
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
More than ever before, caregiving has become a salient public policy issue. A number of recent and anticipated demographic, economic and social changes have occurred that make it imperative for researchers to critically examine the impact of caregiving on family caregivers' health, behavior, emotions, and social status. Researchers at the University of Iowa College of Nursing are working to classify standardized nursing-sensitive patient outcomes for use in language development, practice, research, and education to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions and clinical nursing services. This article focuses on family caregiving and the analysis of caregiver role performance in both direct …
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
This article describes a teaching strategy used in an undergraduate gerontological nursing clinical course to familiarize students with evidence-based practice. Students are required to read and summarize an assigned evidence-based practice guideline published by The University of Iowa Gerontological Nursing Interventions Research Center. They then develop a "tip sheet," based on the assigned guideline, to disseminate to health care staff at their practicum sites, which is either a long-term care facility or a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. Nursing students' reactions to the assignment and nursing staff's responses to the tip sheets are discussed.

Learning Strategies Of First Year Nursing And Medical Students: A Comparative Study, Yenna Salamonson, Bronwyn Everett, Jane Koch, Ian Wilson, Patricia Davidson
Ian G Wilson
Background: Interprofessional education (IPE), where two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care, has been proposed as a curriculum strategy to promote mutual understanding between professions, thus helping to prepare health professionals to work in challenging contemporary health systems. Although there is support for IPE initiatives within health professional education, differences in student motivation and learning strategies are likely to contribute to the success of these initiatives. Objective: To explore self-regulated learning strategies used by first year medical and nursing students, and to determine if these strategies were different …

An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue
Maria (Lindell) Joseph
AIM: This study illustrates how King's theory of goal attainment was used to focus an examination of whole-person care (WPC) and to extend the range of knowledge needed for WPC and nursing practice. BACKGROUND: Leadership implemented a faith-based innovation using continuing education for patient care that incorporates body-mind-spirit and eight principles called CREATION. Three questions arose: (1) Is there an evidence-based framework to determine whether the philosophy supports the discipline of nursing? (2) How extensive is the adoption and application of WPC? (3) Does the model make a difference in the context of nurse-patient interactions and outcomes in support of …
Nurse Practitioner Preparation: Is It Time To Move Beyond Masters Level Entry In Australia?, Lea-Anne Tuaoi, Andrew Cashin, Marie Hutchinson, Iain W. Graham
Nurse Practitioner Preparation: Is It Time To Move Beyond Masters Level Entry In Australia?, Lea-Anne Tuaoi, Andrew Cashin, Marie Hutchinson, Iain W. Graham
Associate Professor Marie Hutchinson
Nurse Practitioner education in Australia currently requires a post graduate qualification at masters level for endorsement by national registration bodies and entry into practice. This paper reviews the evidence and debate in America that saw the education of Nurse Practitioners advance to the doctoral level in 2004. Consideration will then be given to the similarities between the American and Australian context, in order to open the debate about whether it is timely for Australian universities to consider the need to advance Australia Nurse Practitioner education to the Doctor of Nursing Practice.

Nurse Practitioners In Academic Nurse Managed Centres: A New And Emergent Opportunity For Australian Nurses, Lea-Anne Tuaoi, Andrew Cashin, Marie Hutchinson, Iain W. Graham
Professor Andrew Cashin
Nursing traditionally has split the career paths of practice, teaching and research. This has limited utility in a healthcare world that is rapidly changing in terms of clinical practice and institutional structures. Academics to be relevant need to remain professionally engaged. Faculty practice is one way for Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner academics to do this. The recent inclusion of Nurse Practitioners as providers in the federally funded Medical Benefits Scheme and the Pharmaceutical Benefits scheme has afforded a context of do ability. The American experience of integrating Nurse Practitioner practice into academia took the form of faculty practice within an …

Developing A Tool To Measure 'Magnetism' In Australian Nursing Environments, Joanne T. Joyce-Mccoach, Patrick A. Crookes
Professor Patrick Crookes
The magnet hospital concept, developed in the United States of America (USA) in the early eighties, identified characteristics successful in attracting and retaining nursing staff. The nursing profession in Australia is currently focused on issues of recruitment and retention; therefore it is relevant and timely to consider the significance of the magnet concept to Australian health facilities. The project was undertaken in two stages: one using focus groups to revise the tool for use in Australia; and a second, using a questionnaire to test the reliability, validity and usability, of this revised tool, in a sample of Australian hospitals. The …

An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg
The development of a structured and standardized clinical language for nursing is of major importance to the profession for both practice and science. This paper describes a methodological approach which has been developed for the refinement and extension of the NANDA taxonomy in the Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) project. The paper proposes that this method could be used by nurses in all countries to facilitate the identification, development and validation of terms and labels which can be incorporated into each country's own emerging data systems, translated and cross mapped between systems, and eventually incorporated into international data sets.
