While an important component for all adolescents, this is particularly important for adolescents at high risk for adverse health outcomes, such as unplanned adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The aims of this descriptive study were to explore the content and delivery of SHE in New Mexico and to describe influences on decisions pertaining to implementation of state SHE policy. The social ecological model (SEM) was used as a theoretical framework to better understand levels of influence …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects
Organizations with high employee engagement reap the benefits of higher employee retention and improved customer satisfaction. Studies find that engaged workers are in the minority.

Today, the goal of providing safe, high quality and efficient patient care and an exceptional patient experience are benchmark measures for patient care delivery. Since nurses are essential to optimal patient outcomes, it is important to understand what motivates them. Career advancement programs (CAPs) are …

Compassion Satisfaction And Compassion Fatigue Among Pediatric Nurses And The Impact On Patient Satisfaction, Maribeth Thornton
Nursing ETDs
Compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction are two inter-related concepts. Individuals in helping professions may occasionally face compassion fatigue from giving so much of themselves to others.

While some researchers have studied nurses, little published work has focused exclusively on nurses who care for specialty pediatric populations. Additionally, there is scant research on whether compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue are associated with patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of compassion satisfaction and …
