During a patient‘s stay in the hospital, many nurses will be involved in that patient’s care. It is vital that nurses communicate well during change-of-shift report to ensure quality and continuity of care. According to the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare, 80% of serious medical errors occur due to miscommunication between health care providers when patient responsibility is handed-off. The Hand-off Communications Project found that over 37% of handovers were defective and did not allow the receiver to safely care for the patient. Defective hand-off can lead to patient harm, delayed or improper treatment, and increased length of hospital …

Sleep Disturbances In Mental Health Care: A Review Of Literature On Nursing Interventions, Sarah Jungbauer, Kara Taylor
Pharmacy and Nursing Student Research and Evidence-Based Medicine Poster Session
Sleep is essential in the repair and renewal of cells and tissues. It allows the body to recover from the wear and tear of life’s daily activities, slows metabolism, decreases heart workload, relaxes body muscles, and preserves energy. Sleep deprivation caused by psychological disorder can cause anxiety, euphoria, irritability, and memory impairment. Insomnia is associated with depression, anxiety disorders, deficient work performance, drug abuse, and reduction in productivity. The purpose of this study is to determine what nursing interventions are available to improve the sleep quality of mental health care patients.

A Framework Of Academic Persistence And Success For Ethnically Diverse Graduate Nursing Students, Margaret J. Bull, Judith Fitzgerald, Josie L. Veal
A Framework Of Academic Persistence And Success For Ethnically Diverse Graduate Nursing Students, Margaret J. Bull, Judith Fitzgerald, Josie L. Veal
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
The goal of this qualitative study was to examine how ethnically diverse graduate nursing students persisted with academic studies. Ethnically diverse nurses are vastly underrepresented in the workforce. This problem is accentuated by high attrition rates in academic programs. A grounded theory approach was used. Five focus groups were conducted with 16 ethnically diverse graduate students in nursing and interviews were conducted with two diversity advisers. Analysis of the data indicated that the process of learning to balance stressors with moderators was key to academic persistence and retention. A conceptual framework emerged from the data that provides a guide for …

Perceived Benefits Of Art-Based Interventions And Nursing Implications: A Systematic Review, Audrey A. Meyer
Perceived Benefits Of Art-Based Interventions And Nursing Implications: A Systematic Review, Audrey A. Meyer
Antonian Scholars Honors Program
Art is a growing complementary and alternative therapy used in health care to promote healing. The research on art-based interventions remains interspersed throughout the literature, making application of findings from studies to clinical practice challenging. In the research available, the nursing profession assumes a minor role, if at all, in the implementation of art as an intervention for healing. Nursing students in particular are in a prime position to employ art with their patients given the availability of time during clinical experiences. The minimal exposure to complementary and alternative therapies during nursing education increases the importance of promoting art-based interventions …

The Mind-Body Narrative: The Evolution Of Psychoneuroimmunology And Its Implications For Nursing Research And Practice, Alisha Soukup
The Mind-Body Narrative: The Evolution Of Psychoneuroimmunology And Its Implications For Nursing Research And Practice, Alisha Soukup
Antonian Scholars Honors Program
The historical perception of the relationship between the mind and the body is a rich and multifaceted narrative interwoven with interdisciplinary influences and cultural connections. This paper explores mind-body medicine using a liberal arts theoretical lens, focusing on the unique contributions of philosophy, the social sciences, the natural sciences, theology, and the humanities. With these theoretical traditions set as a foundation, the evolution and formal birth of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)—a complex discipline examining the intricate connections between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems and their impact on health—is explored. Finally, the relationship between PNI and the profession of nursing is reviewed …

Constructivism Applied To Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing: An Alternative To Supplement Traditional Clinical Education, Michelle Hampton
Faculty Publications
With the popularity of accelerated pre‐licensure nursing programmes and the growth in nursing student enrolments, traditional clinical education continues to be a challenge to deliver. Nursing faculty members are required to develop and implement educational innovations that achieve effective learning outcomes, while using fewer resources. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the effectiveness of a constructivism‐based learning project to achieve specific learning outcomes and to supplement approximately 30 clinical hours in a psychiatric–mental health nursing course. Students participated in a 10‐week, multistage project that examined life histories, treatment resources, and evidence‐based practice, as applied to a single …
Using The Glasgow Coma Scale In Non-Neurological Clinical Areas, Tracey Thornley, Lauren Rullis
Using The Glasgow Coma Scale In Non-Neurological Clinical Areas, Tracey Thornley, Lauren Rullis
Nursing Conference Papers
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was designed for use in a wide range of clinical environments with staff that had no special training (Teasdale and Jennett 1974). Evidence (Waterhouse 2007 and 2008) suggests however that there are ongoing problems with the use of the GCS assessment, and the impact that this might have on patient outcome is unknown. Variations in practice have been found in all areas, including the neurological specialties wards, however the skill level of nursing staff in non neurological areas is concerning with inconsistency in practice.
The purpose of this project was to explore the use of …

The nurses also related perceived assets and drawbacks of their profession for the given season of life. They described what they believed to be necessities for success in the dual-roles of professional nurse and care taker. …
Critique And Appraisal Of A Study On The Attitudes Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale, Jessica Stamey, L. Lee Glenn
Critique And Appraisal Of A Study On The Attitudes Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale, Jessica Stamey, L. Lee Glenn
ETSU Faculty Works
Excerpt: The recent study by Floden, Lennerling, Fridh, Rizell and Forsberg [1] concluded that using the Attitude Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale (ATODAS) is ready for use in future research studies because it has good psychometric properties for measuring ICU nurses’ attitudes towards advocacy on behalf of potential and actual organ donors. However, that conclusion is not supported by the data in the study because of lack of evidence of measurement validity
