A Description Of Impostor Phenomenon In Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists, Jeffrey R. Darna
A Description Of Impostor Phenomenon In Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists, Jeffrey R. Darna
Dissertations
Background: Imposter Phenomenon (IP) is an evolving, multidimensional construct defined as self-perceived intellectual phoniness and professional ineptitude frequently experienced by individuals working in high performance or competitive environments. IP consequences include psychological distress, role under-optimization, and professional paralysis. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists (CRNAs) are at risk for impostorism; however, IP presence, intensity, and career effects are unknown.
Purpose: The study measured IP in CRNAs and determined the relationship between IP and select sociodemographic and practice variables.
Methods:
Design: A descriptive, cross-sectional correlation design measured IP using an Internet-based survey from a random sample of 170 members of the American …
A Qualitative Exploration Of The Patient Care Experience As Perceived By Hispanic Patients Receiving Care At A Safety-Net Facility, Silvinia Cuizon
A Qualitative Exploration Of The Patient Care Experience As Perceived By Hispanic Patients Receiving Care At A Safety-Net Facility, Silvinia Cuizon
Dissertations
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic patients seeking kidney and liver transplant care at a safety-net facility perceive and interpret the care experience with the goal of generating a grounded theory model to guide care delivery and improve perception of care for this population.
Background/Rationale: The patient experience is the current federally mandated hospital quality indicator that measures the range of interactions patients have with their hospital admission, which has fiscal and clinical implications for the delivery of care. Many safety-net health care delivery systems, which primarily serve traditionally underserved populations, and …
Emergency Department Visits And Hospital Admissions For Adult Cancer Patients Post Outpatient Chemotherapy: Does The Oncology Nurse Navigator Make A Difference?, Sunny L. Stirling
Emergency Department Visits And Hospital Admissions For Adult Cancer Patients Post Outpatient Chemotherapy: Does The Oncology Nurse Navigator Make A Difference?, Sunny L. Stirling
Dissertations
Background: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Oncology related hospital visits account for over $88 billion annually; 35% of this cost is attributable to inpatient hospital stays even though most cancer treatments are given outpatient. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced the Chemotherapy Measure which tracks Emergency Department visits and hospitalization within 30 days of any outpatient chemotherapy treatment. The Oncology Nurse Navigator (ONN) has offered some benefit in cancer care, but its role in ED visits and hospital admissions is unknown for adult patients with cancer post outpatient …
Patient Perception Of Fall Risk And High Fall Risk Screening Scores, Nicole D. Pena
Patient Perception Of Fall Risk And High Fall Risk Screening Scores, Nicole D. Pena
Dissertations
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship between patient
perception of fall risk and high fall risk screening scores.
Background: Despite mandated government regulations and multiple hospital
interventions, falls are the most prevalent adverse event among hospitalized patients and
are the leading driver of health care costs, amounting to over $30 billion each year with
projections to double by 2030. Recently, perception was identified as a major component
in preventing falls. A dearth of research examines the relationship between a patient’s
perceived risk for falls and standardized fall screening scores.
Methods: A descriptive correlational design with …
Patient’S Utilization Of Health Information Technologies For Disease Self-Management, Mahmoud Hamzeh Altawalbih
Patient’S Utilization Of Health Information Technologies For Disease Self-Management, Mahmoud Hamzeh Altawalbih
Dissertations
Background: The rapid growth of Health Information Technologies (HITs) provides
patients with greater opportunity to take control over their health. HITs utilization has
been proven to be a critical component of disease self-management and can result in
positive outcomes. Its widespread adoption and utilization is still relatively low among
patients with chronic disease. It is important to understand the factors that may impact
HITs utilization, such as the perceived Task-Technology Fit (TTF). A very limited
number of studies have examined the relationship between HITs utilization and the
perceived fit between task and technology in the context of TTF theory.
