Refinement Of The Shared Care Instrument-Revised: A Measure Of A Family Care Interaction, Margaret Sebern
Refinement Of The Shared Care Instrument-Revised: A Measure Of A Family Care Interaction, Margaret Sebern
Margaret Sebern
This study’s purpose was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Shared Care Instrument-Revised (SCI-R) in a sample of family care dyads. The SCI-R was developed to measure the construct of shared care, which is a system of three constructs (communication, decision making, reciprocity) used in family care to exchange support. An important aspect of evaluating the SCI-R was to create a measure that is statistically sound and meaningful for patient and caregivers. Surveys were mailed to randomly selected home health dyads, which included 223 patients and 220 caregivers. Reliability and confirmatory factor analysis, and concurrent validity were examined. Internal …
Shared Care, Elder And Family Member Skills Used To Manage Burden, Margaret Sebern
Shared Care, Elder And Family Member Skills Used To Manage Burden, Margaret Sebern
Margaret Sebern
Aim. The aim of this paper is to further develop the construct of Shared Care by comparing and contrasting it to related research, and to show how the construct can be used to guide research and practice. Background. While researchers have identified negative outcomes for family caregivers caused by providing care, less is known about positive aspects of family care for both members of a family dyad. Understanding family care relationships is important to nurses because family participation in the care of chronically ill elders is necessary to achieve optimal outcomes from nursing interventions. A previous naturalistic inquiry identified a …
The Effect Of Education On Rehabilitation Nursing Staff Knowledge, Kristen L. Mauk
The Effect Of Education On Rehabilitation Nursing Staff Knowledge, Kristen L. Mauk
Kristen L. Mauk
Rehabilitation is a specialty area with defined competencies and discrete nursing knowledge. Unless nurses have been educated in the basic competencies of rehabilitation, they are not prepared to provide safe, quality rehabilitative care to patients with chronic illnesses and disabilities. An evidence-based practice project was designed to address the need for education of the nursing staff working on an inpatient rehabilitation unit in Northwest Indiana. Roger's Diffusion of Innovations provided the theoretical framework for the project. A critical appraisal of the literature was conducted to determine best practice. The literature showed that education increased knowledge in a specialty area, and …

Caregiving: Concept Analysis And Outcomes, Elizabeth Swanson, Deborah Schoenfelder, Janet Specht, M. Johnson, Meridean Maas, D. Saylor
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
More than ever before, caregiving has become a salient public policy issue. A number of recent and anticipated demographic, economic and social changes have occurred that make it imperative for researchers to critically examine the impact of caregiving on family caregivers' health, behavior, emotions, and social status. Researchers at the University of Iowa College of Nursing are working to classify standardized nursing-sensitive patient outcomes for use in language development, practice, research, and education to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions and clinical nursing services. This article focuses on family caregiving and the analysis of caregiver role performance in both direct …
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
This article describes a teaching strategy used in an undergraduate gerontological nursing clinical course to familiarize students with evidence-based practice. Students are required to read and summarize an assigned evidence-based practice guideline published by The University of Iowa Gerontological Nursing Interventions Research Center. They then develop a "tip sheet," based on the assigned guideline, to disseminate to health care staff at their practicum sites, which is either a long-term care facility or a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. Nursing students' reactions to the assignment and nursing staff's responses to the tip sheets are discussed.

An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue
An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue
Maria (Lindell) Joseph
AIM: This study illustrates how King's theory of goal attainment was used to focus an examination of whole-person care (WPC) and to extend the range of knowledge needed for WPC and nursing practice. BACKGROUND: Leadership implemented a faith-based innovation using continuing education for patient care that incorporates body-mind-spirit and eight principles called CREATION. Three questions arose: (1) Is there an evidence-based framework to determine whether the philosophy supports the discipline of nursing? (2) How extensive is the adoption and application of WPC? (3) Does the model make a difference in the context of nurse-patient interactions and outcomes in support of …
An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg
The development of a structured and standardized clinical language for nursing is of major importance to the profession for both practice and science. This paper describes a methodological approach which has been developed for the refinement and extension of the NANDA taxonomy in the Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) project. The paper proposes that this method could be used by nurses in all countries to facilitate the identification, development and validation of terms and labels which can be incorporated into each country's own emerging data systems, translated and cross mapped between systems, and eventually incorporated into international data sets.

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 …
