Benner's Model And Duchscher's Theory: Providing The Framework For Understanding New Graduate Nurses' Transition To Practice, Melanie Murray, Deborah Sundin, Vicki Cope
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
The transition to quality and safety in the new graduate registered nurses' practice remains problematic directly impacting patient outcomes. Effective mentoring during transition serves to enhance experiential learning, allowing the development and establishment of safe, quality nursing practice. Comprehensive understanding of the transition process, including the barriers and effective enablers to transition is the key to effective mentoring. A theoretical framework guided by Duchscher's Stages of Transition Theory and Transition Shock Model and Benner's From novice to expert model can facilitate such understanding. Nurse Theorists play an important part in shaping nurse education and practice and have provided nurse educators …

New Graduate Nurses' Understanding And Attitudes About Patient Safety Upon Transition To Practice, Melanie Murray, Deborah Sundin, Vicki Cope
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
AIMS: To explore the transition experiences of newly graduated registered nurses with particular attention to patient safety.
BACKGROUND: New graduate registered nurses' transition is accompanied by a degree of shock which may be in tune with the described theory-practice gap. The limited exposure to clinical settings and experiences leaves these nurses at risk of making errors and not recognising deterioration, prioritising time management and task completion over patient safety and care.
DESIGN: Qualitative descriptive approach using semi-structured interviews.
METHODS: Data were collected during 2017-18 from 11 participants consenting to face-to-face or telephone semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and data …

New Graduate Nurses' Clinical Safety Knowledge By The Numbers, Melanie Murray, Deborah Sundin, Vicki Cope
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
AIM: To explore new graduate registered nurses' knowledge and attitudes concerning medical error and patient safety, during their first 6 months of professional practice.
BACKGROUND: New graduate registered nurses demonstrate basic skills and levels of performance due to limited exposure and experience in actual situations. There is a concern held for their clinical reasoning skills required to recognize patient deterioration, posing a threat to patient safety.
METHODS: An online questionnaire was used to survey new graduate registered nurses at three time points during graduate nurse programmes between August 2016 and February 2018.
RESULTS: A decrease in self-reported knowledge and attitudes …
