Exploring Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses’ Affective Responses To Providing End-Of-Life Care, Stephanie Lynn Lewis
Exploring Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses’ Affective Responses To Providing End-Of-Life Care, Stephanie Lynn Lewis
Doctoral Dissertations
Significance. The Joint Commission established standards to evaluate comprehensive end-of-life infant care and the positive outcomes of such care are well documented. However, findings from multiple studies conducted over the last decade indicate that end-of-life care in the neonatal intensive care unit is not provided consistently or holistically to all dying infants. Because nurses are the healthcare professionals most often responsible for providing this care, anything that detracts from their ability to provide it, including their own affective responses, needs to be addressed.
Aim. The purpose of this study was to explore—through lived and told stories—the affective, interactional, and …
Living With The Choice: A Grounded Theory Of Iraqi Refugee Resettlement To The U.S., Lisa Ann Davenport
Living With The Choice: A Grounded Theory Of Iraqi Refugee Resettlement To The U.S., Lisa Ann Davenport
Doctoral Dissertations
Though the United States has become a place of increasing resettlement for refugees, particularly Iraqi refugees who have been forced to flee their homeland due to violence, persecution and civil unrest, little is known about Iraqi refugee resettlement in the United States, or the way in which resettlement impacts health and adjustment. A grounded theory study was conducted to develop a substantive theory of Iraqi refugee resettlement. Participants in the qualitative study included 29 Iraqi refugees and 2 community partners who participated in face-to face interviews. Data analysis and interpretation revealed fundamental concepts related to Iraqi refugee resettlement. Results of …
The Lived Experience Of Transitioning From The Foster Care System To Adulthood, Carla Renee Parker
The Lived Experience Of Transitioning From The Foster Care System To Adulthood, Carla Renee Parker
Doctoral Dissertations
Approximately 408,000 children were in foster care in the United States at the end of fiscal year 2010 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). Some children return to their families of origin; however, some children remain in the foster care system until they reach age 18 or 21 and must leave, which is called “emancipation” or “aging out” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). Transitioning foster youth are at risk for many negative consequences including poverty and homelessness. These negative consequences are associated with significant health implications, such as mental health problems and risky sexual behaviors. …
Enhancing Critical Thinking Disposition And Clinical Judgment Skills In Senior Bsn Students Via Electronic Interactive Simulation, Deborah Lynne Weatherspoon
Enhancing Critical Thinking Disposition And Clinical Judgment Skills In Senior Bsn Students Via Electronic Interactive Simulation, Deborah Lynne Weatherspoon
Doctoral Dissertations
Problem
The problem investigated in this study was the lack of empirical evidence available regarding the effectiveness of electronic interactive simulation (EIS) for developing critical thinking disposition and clinical judgment skills in the senior baccalaureate nursing student.
Aim
The aim of this study was to identify an effective method of experiential learning simulation that may be independently accessed by the learner with a goal of enhancing critical thinking disposition and clinical judgment skills of senior baccalaureate student nurses (BSN).
Purpose
The purpose of this experimental study was to compare the effects of EIS to traditional paper case studies on the …
Generational Differences In Empowerment, Professional Practice Environment, Incivility, Authentic Leadership, Job Satisfaction, Engagement And Intent To Leave In Acute Care Nurses, Lisa Marie Haddad
Doctoral Dissertations
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine generational differences among acute care nurses on empowerment, professional practice, authentic leadership, incivility, job satisfaction, engagement and intent to leave the current job.
Background. Empowerment in nursing is a well-studied subject. Perceptions of professional practice environments, authentic leadership and incivility are related to empowerment. An increase in empowerment has been linked to job satisfaction and the likelihood of leaving one’s job or the profession. The nursing shortage forces attention to job satisfaction and keeping the professionals we currently have in the profession. Generational differences exist within different cohorts of nurses and …

Decreasing Hospital-Related Complications Using Hourly Nurse Rounding Focused On The 4 P'S, Chad Morgan Phillips, Tiffany C. Dixon, Amanda N. Bessey, Dale E. Cuva
Decreasing Hospital-Related Complications Using Hourly Nurse Rounding Focused On The 4 P'S, Chad Morgan Phillips, Tiffany C. Dixon, Amanda N. Bessey, Dale E. Cuva
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
This review of literature sought to find the best practice for nurse rounding in hospitals in an effort to reduce hospital-related complication (falls, pressure ulcers) and improve patient satisfaction. Current research shows a growing trend toward hourly rounding centered on addressing basic patient needs, also known as the 4 P's (pain, potty, position and presence). See abstract for more details.
