Kangaroo Care And Improved Physiological Status In Preterm Infants, Kira Harkonen
Wisdom & Compassion: The LUSON Journal
Preterm births continue to cause long-term sequelae for infants worldwide. Interventions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that promote better outcomes can make an impact on preterm infants’ futures. The purpose of this review was to determine if kangaroo care has positive physiological effects on preterm infants in the NICU. Practice changes to enhance kangaroo care in the NICU include reducing barriers such as medical complexity and staff misconceptions as well as facilitating increased parental presence. The review of the literature found evidence to support the positive outcomes that kangaroo care has on neonates’ growth, vital signs, stress outcomes, …

Comparison Of Post Discharge Telephone Call Methods And Their Impact On Patient Outcomes And Satisfaction: An Integrative Review, Amanda T. Mikolay
Wisdom & Compassion: The LUSON Journal
Background: Discharge planning and education may directly influence patient outcomes, including patient satisfaction and readmission rates. Discharge processes and follow-up vary across departments and facilities. Follow-up telephone calls after patient discharge are commonly utilized; however, delivery techniques differ across healthcare areas. The purpose of this integrative review is to explore the various techniques of initiating post-discharge follow-up phone calls and their impact on patient outcomes and satisfaction. Method: A literature search across different Databases and the search engine Google Scholar yielded over 2,751 articles utilizing the Boolean phrases: (follow up or follow-up or post-discharge or following discharge or discharge …
Engaging In Research: Reflections From Summer Undergraduate Research Assistants, Elyse Sumarsono, Julia Raugh
Engaging In Research: Reflections From Summer Undergraduate Research Assistants, Elyse Sumarsono, Julia Raugh
Wisdom & Compassion: The LUSON Journal
The aim of the journal was to organize the reflections of two undergraduate nursing students regarding the journey of navigating through summer research along with faculty. Through this reflective experience, research assistants were able to identify many benefits that come with participating in the research conduction process that should encourage other undergraduate students to involve themselves in future research. Research assistants were challenged to take on new and unknown tasks in a high-level research study, which ultimately enhanced skills for future academic success and professional careers as nurses.
