Non-Clinical Perspectives On Sepsis: A Project For Enhanced Awareness, Anjali Kumari Singh
Non-Clinical Perspectives On Sepsis: A Project For Enhanced Awareness, Anjali Kumari Singh
Master's Projects and Capstones
Problem: This project aimed to enhance non-clinical staff knowledge of sepsis through a targeted awareness campaign, while also seeking to uphold or enhance the organization's sepsis-related performance.
Context: Clinical Nurse Leader students conducted a microsystem assessment in five crucial non-clinical departments of an urban Bay Area hospital, each playing a vital role in the organization's efficiency at different levels.
Intervention: During Sepsis Awareness Month, a sepsis awareness campaign was implemented. This involved a concise presentation on sepsis, its consequences, and the significance of awareness in each department. Additionally, informational fliers detailing sepsis signs and symptoms were distributed.
Measures: A pre-and …
Optimizing Sepsis Management Through Enhanced Protocol Compliance In The Emergency Department, Oscar J. Castillo
Optimizing Sepsis Management Through Enhanced Protocol Compliance In The Emergency Department, Oscar J. Castillo
Master's Projects and Capstones
Problem: The Quality Improvement (QI) Project focused on improving early sepsis management and sepsis bundle adherence among Emergency Department (ED) nurses to decrease sepsis mortality rates and avoidable length of hospital stays (LOS).
Context: A group of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL) students evaluated sepsis protocol compliance at Hospital A's ED, which provides critical care for patients with various medical conditions. The CNL students concentrated on patients identified with sepsis for the QI Project.
Interventions: Limitations and time did not allow for the implementation of interventions. Recommendations offered to management included increasing sepsis training biannually and intravenous placement skills, offering sepsis …
Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus
Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation explored the potential effects of intersections of oppression (i.e., anti-Black racism, diabetes discrimination, and sexism) on mental health and pregnancy experiences among Black women and birthing people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Previous studies about pregnancy and T1D have included mainly white, cisgender women. Three participants qualified for inclusion in the present study and participated in semi-structured interviews, which the researcher analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) framework. Participants described feeling uncertain about whether aspects of their pregnancy experiences were related to obstetric and/or medical racism. Similarly, participants sometimes seemed uncertain about how racism may affect their …

Using Critical Incident Debriefing after Code Blue Events to Support Registered Nurses
Section I: Abstract
Background: During a code blue event (CBE), the environment becomes highly stressful and intense. Nurses rapidly transition from performing life-saving procedures on their patients to carrying out their usual duties. Without proper debriefing, nurses cannot properly process their emotions leading to increased burnout and secondary traumatic stress (Stamm, 2010).
Local Problem: In 2021, the nurses at Providence Saint John’s Health Center (2021a) responded to 110 CBEs, a 43% increase from 2020. Without a process for critical incident debriefing (CID), these nurses were exposed to trauma …
Improving Timely Sepsis Care Through Staff Education Within The Emergency Department, Spencer Forest
Improving Timely Sepsis Care Through Staff Education Within The Emergency Department, Spencer Forest
Master's Projects and Capstones
Problem: This quality improvement project aims to increase SEP-1 sepsis bundle compliance among nursing staff at a 16-bed emergency department through targeted continual staff education on sepsis screening and best practices. Currently, the unit is experiencing cases of sepsis fallout and is not meeting the 90% threshold on three treatment metrics as defined by the institutional sepsis bundle time goals. Bundle compliance that adheres to the time goals decreases incidences of sepsis fallout and overall days in the hospital, while increasing positive patient health outcomes.
Context: A microsystem assessment was completed along with a staff gap survey to determine areas …
