Using Nanda, Nic, And Noc In An Undergraduate Nursing Practicum, K. Smith, Martha Craft-Rosenberg
Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg
Although use of diagnoses originally developed by NANDA (now known as NANDA-I), NIC, and NOC in education and practice is increasing, many faculty members have not been educated in their use and may be reluctant to teach these languages. This article provides guidance on the use of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC in clinical education. This guidance will facilitate both faculty and student learning.

Academic Freedom And Academic Duty To Teach Social Justice: A Perspective And Pedagogy For Public Health Nursing Faculty, N. Fahrenwald, Janette Taylor, S. Kneipp, M. Canales
Academic Freedom And Academic Duty To Teach Social Justice: A Perspective And Pedagogy For Public Health Nursing Faculty, N. Fahrenwald, Janette Taylor, S. Kneipp, M. Canales
Janette Y. Taylor
Public health nursing practice is rooted in the core value of social justice. Nursing faculty whose expertise is in public health are often the content experts responsible for teaching this essential, yet potentially controversial, value. Contemporary threats to academic freedom remind us that the disciplinary autonomy and academic duty to teach social justice may be construed as politically ideological. These threats are of particular concern when faculty members guide students through a scientific exploration of sociopolitical factors that lead to health-related social injustices and encourage students to improve and transform injustices in their professional careers. This article (a) reviews recent …
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Janette Y. Taylor
Racial autobiography, self-narratives on how one learned about the idea of race, has been underutilized as a tool to familiarize and orient students in the process of critical inquiry for nursing research. The aims of this article are to explore how racial autoethnography: (1) repositions students to effect an epistemological change, (2) challenges dominant ideology, and (3) functions as a link between the student and critical theories for use in nursing research. Students engage in and share reflective narrative about a variety of instructional materials used in the course. Reflective narratives are presented in a framework that addresses white racial …

Womanism: A Methodologic Framework For African American Women, Janette Taylor
Janette Y. Taylor
Although nurse scholars have become increasingly engaged in feminist research and theory development, only a few have included important feminist thoughts expressed by African American womanist theorists. This article presents an abbreviated review and synthesis of Afrocentric ways of knowing, which includes Black feminist, womanist, and Afrocentric perspectives. A developing methodology for use with African American women is also described.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea And The Effects Of Co-Existing Factors On Pacu Stay Time, Shari F. Jones Phd, Crna
Obstructive Sleep Apnea And The Effects Of Co-Existing Factors On Pacu Stay Time, Shari F. Jones Phd, Crna
Dissertations
Significance/Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common disturbance during sleep affecting 30% of the population. The occurrence of moderate/severe OSA is 11.4% in men and 4.7% in women. OSA is caused by repetitive partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway with apnea episodes. OSA is prevalent in western society, yet is frequently undiagnosed due to lack of knowledge of the disorder. This population presents a challenge during the peri-operative period due to increased risk for several complications. Of particular interest to Nurse Anesthetists, are respiratory complications that result in delayed emergence from anesthesia, delayed post-operative recovery, increased …
Case Study Of Parents Caring For A Child Having Type-1 Diabetes With Optimal Hga1c, Elizabeth Ciaccio Phd
Case Study Of Parents Caring For A Child Having Type-1 Diabetes With Optimal Hga1c, Elizabeth Ciaccio Phd
Dissertations
Type 1 diabetes in school age children is a complex condition requiring continuous physical, nutritional, and therapeutic monitoring to prevent lifelong complications and maintain quality of life. In 2011, one in 400 children in the United States were affected by it. The purpose of this research study was to understand how parents achieve optimal HgA1c for their school age children with type-1 diabetes. Currently, there is very little research documenting how parents achieve this goal. Understanding this phenomenon more clearly can be used to inform future research, improve practice and provide information for development of effective health policy. Management of …

Smoking Cessation Education: A Prescription And Opportunity For Change, Amanda Aust
Smoking Cessation Education: A Prescription And Opportunity For Change, Amanda Aust
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
Tobacco usage is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Smoking claims the lives of people more than acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, alcohol, accidents, homicides, suicides, fires, and drugs combined (Green & Briggs, 2006). In 2009, 46 million people in the United States were estimated to be smokers (Regents of the University of California, 2011). Despite the availability of guidelines to assess and provide smoking cessation interventions to patients, a disconnect exists in nurses being able to implement these guidelines. The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to determine if an educational intervention for nurses about smoking cessation, as compared …

The Effect Of Heart Failure Education On Intermediate Care Unit Nursing Staff's Knowledge Of Heart Failure, Self-Care, And Best Practice Guidelines, Carol Budgin
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease affecting nearly six million people in the United States with an annual cost of nearly 33 billion dollars. If nurses are inadequately prepared to care for and/or educate patients with HF, evidence-based (EB) nursing care will be suboptimal and hospital readmission rates with the subsequent increased costs for care will continue to soar. To address their higher-than-national average HF readmission rates, an EB nursing project was implemented at a local, urban community hospital to assess intermediate care unit (IMCU) nursing staff’s knowledge of HF, selfcare, and best practice guidelines. The Rossworm & Larrabee …

Use Of Standardized Mastery Content Assessments Given During The First Year Of A Baccalaureate Nursing Program For Predicting Nclex-Rn Outcomes, Deanna Jan Emory
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between standardized content specific mastery assessments and NCLEX-RN outcomes. Three content-specific standardized assessments testing Fundamentals, Pharmacology and Mental Health concepts were used to explain the dichotomous NCLEX-RN outcome of pass or fail. The three assessments were developed by Assessment Technologies Institute, LLC (ATI). The assessments were administered to baccalaureate nursing students (N = 119) during the first year of a nursing program in one public university over a period of five consecutive semesters. Group comparisons between those passing and those failing NCLEX-RN on the first attempt and correlations were calculated …
Pain Management In Triage And Reducing Percentage Of Left Without Being Seen In An Overcrowded Ed, Christina Ballejos-Campos Phd
Pain Management In Triage And Reducing Percentage Of Left Without Being Seen In An Overcrowded Ed, Christina Ballejos-Campos Phd
Dissertations
Although in most emergency rooms, the patient is seen first by a highly trained triage nurse, the ED physician is trained to determine if the patient can safely leave the ED prior to in-depth exam, treatment and diagnosis. The goal is to keep the left without being seen by a physician percentage low, since a high number would indicate poor quality, additionally patients who present with pain, and then leave the ED prior to being seen can pose a greater risk. This study examined the association of nurse-initiated triage pain protocol on the LWOBS percentage rate of patients who present …
A Qualitative Descriptive Study Of The Work Of Nurses In Interventional Radiology, Brenda Naef Boone Phd
A Qualitative Descriptive Study Of The Work Of Nurses In Interventional Radiology, Brenda Naef Boone Phd
Dissertations
This dissertation study explored the work of nurses in interventional radiology. Interventional radiology (IR) is an emerging field of practice in health care. More and more procedures that were historically done in the operating room are being performed in IR. This has led to higher acuity patients and an increased need for specialized nursing care. The work of nurses in this area of practice is not well described and as such can lead to a lack of understanding of nursing involved in high tech low touch areas. This qualitative descriptive research study was conducted to shed light on this under …
Breast Health And Mammography Screening In Older Women, Martha A. Ibarra Phd, Msn, Anp, Rn
Breast Health And Mammography Screening In Older Women, Martha A. Ibarra Phd, Msn, Anp, Rn
Dissertations
Age-related health disparities in breast cancer screening are a public health concern. From 2002 to 2006, the median age for newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer was 61 years and the median age for breast cancer mortality was 68 years of age (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results [SEER], 2009). Mammography is the best available screening tool for breast cancer detection (Susan G. Komen Foundation, 2008). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, 2006) reported that only about half of older women who are eligible for mammograms through Medicare obtain a mammogram every two years. The literature identifies psychosocial barriers, …

Inpatient Glycemic Management: Glucose Control Relationship With Hospital Variables, Discharge Planning And Education, Crisamar Javellana-Anunciado Phd, Fnp-Bc, Rn
Dissertations
This dissertation study examined the relationship of glucose control with clinical outcomes, costs, discharge planning and education. Extant studies showed that hyperglycemia, in the presence or absence of a diabetes diagnosis, is prevalent in hospitalized patients. Hyperglycemia is found in one-third of all hospital admissions and is linked to poor clinical outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Furthermore, clinical evidence suggests that lack of discharge coordination associated with medical errors and readmission. This entire body of work contains three distinct sections: Two manuscripts and a grant proposal. The two manuscripts in this study were based on more current retrospective data at …

Nurse Manager Transformational Leadership Practices And Patient Outcomes Among Magnet And Non-Magnet Hospitals, Bridgett Byrd Sellars Phd, Msn, Ma, Rn
Dissertations
In 2004 the Institute Of Medicine called for healthcare leaders to embrace and adopt transformational leadership practices to promote quality of care and favorable patient outcomes. Nurse managers are accountable for 24-hour operations of their departments and influence patient outcomes. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships among nurse manager transformational leadership practices, patient outcomes and hospital types (Magnet, On The Journey, and Non-Magnet). A correlational study examined relationships between self-reported transformational leadership practices of nurse managers and patient outcomes by hospital types. The study was conducted using a purposive sample of Association of California Nurse Leader …
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 …

A purposive sample of 217 youth was recruited from seven Thai-community centers located in four counties of Southern California: The sample was fairly evenly distributed by gender with female (54.5%) and almost three quarters (70.9%) were born in the United States (70.9%). Age ranged from 10 to 16 years, with the mean age 12.71 years old (SD =1.835); 27% reported age of 11. Data were collected using the 97 item Teen Tobacco-Use Questionnaire. Findings indicated 12 participants (6.3%) …
Relationship Between Delirium And Night-Time Interruptions In Icu, Amy R. Stuck Phd, Rn
Relationship Between Delirium And Night-Time Interruptions In Icu, Amy R. Stuck Phd, Rn
Dissertations
Background: This dissertation examined the phenomenon of delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Delirium is a form of cognitive disturbance with a physiologic etiology and complex, multifactorial mechanisms of causation and risk. Delirium in the ICU patient presents a significant risk for adverse outcomes including increased mortality, length of stay, falls, and restraint use. ICU delirium can lead to persistent cognitive impairment beyond discharge and frequent skilled nursing placement. Identifying delirium requires accurate diagnosis that is optimized when validated instruments are used. Sleep deprivation has been linked to adverse health consequences including delirium. Previous studies investigating the relationship …
