It is estimated that 65% of the population are visual learners. With that in mind, a team of cardiac nurses in a large academic tertiary hospital developed a quality improvement project to hopefully improve patient engagement as well the patients’ perception that the nurses explained things in a manner that they could understand.
Baseline patient survey scores for the question, “Nurses Explained Things In A Way That I Understand”, were under the 75thpercentile for a period of 9 months. A root cause analysis was conducted and it demonstrated numerous reasons for this score.
Several countermeasures were instituted to …

Assessing Changes In Knowledge About And Self-Efficacy For Neonatal Resuscitation Among Rwandan Nurses And Midwives After A Mentorship Process, Gerard Nyiringango
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In the first minute of life after birth, it is critical to effectively manage an infant’s respiratory status. Given the critical nature of newborn airway management, it is vital that health professionals have the knowledge and confidence to engage in airway management procedures. Consequently, there has been a call for nurses and midwives to be prepared to skillfully enact neonatal resuscitation interventions when required, especially in low-resource environments, to help reduce neonatal death. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a mentorship program that involves an education component for neonatal resuscitation in the first minute after …

Assessing The Impact Of Mentorship On Rwandan Nurses’ And Midwives’ Knowledge And Self-Efficacy In Managing Postpartum Hemorrhage, Marie Grace Sandra Musabwasoni
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Despite recent advances in medical technology and research, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the top universal cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Factors underlying PPH include the inconsistency in recognition and timely treatment of women experiencing PPH, which suggests the importance of healthcare professionals’ mentorship about PPH. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of mentorship on nurses’ and midwives’ knowledge and self-efficacy in managing PPH. The pre and post study design recruited 141 nurses and midwives working in the labour and delivery department in selected health centers from the North Province of Rwanda. At post-mentorship, 123 nurses …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Papers
Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery and a violation of human rights (Scanwell, Macdonald, Berger, & Boyer, 2018). An estimated 40.3 million individuals are being trafficked globally at any one time with 14,500 to 17,500 being trafficked within the United States annually (Polaris, 2018; Mason et al., 2016; Richards, 2014). An estimated 87% of human trafficking victims were seen by health care professionals during the time they were being trafficked and went unrecognized. (Lederer & Wetzel, 2014). This project utilized the Plan– Do- Check -Act model for quality improvement. (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, n.d.). This project …

To deliver the highest quality of care across the continuum, a large academic tertiary medical center envisioned a project that would provide an internal source of cross trained nurses for their medical intensive care unit (SCU2) and their medical intermediate care unit (R4/IMC/AVU). The hope for this program was to improve communication and collaboration between nurses and enhance the care that they provide to patients and their families.
A highly qualified team of nurses was established to create a performance improvement project. The overall goal of this endeavor was to build a more collaborative relationship between the units and ultimately …
Exploring Nurses’ Feelings On Floating: A Phenomenological Study, Marie Paule Lafontant, Dean Blevins, Charlene Romer, Paul G. Ward
Exploring Nurses’ Feelings On Floating: A Phenomenological Study, Marie Paule Lafontant, Dean Blevins, Charlene Romer, Paul G. Ward
Nursing & Health Sciences Research Journal
Introduction: Mandatory floating is a strategy used to address changes in nurse staffing caused by unforeseeable staff call outs, increase in patient acuity, or census. However, it has an impact on nurses' satisfaction and retention. Therefore, it is important to understand how nurses feel when mandated to float and the effects floating could have on nursing practice.
Methods: Husserl's transcendental phenomenological design guided the study. Data collection was done through individual, semi-structured interviews. Giorgi's six steps served as a basis for data analysis.
Results: Nurses believed that changes needed to be made to the floating process to ensure safe continuity …

Whole-Genome Sequencing In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Nicu): Nurses’ Roles In Communicating Test Results To Families, Laura Grenfell, Deborah Himes
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The grant I received through the Office of Research and Creative Activities was helpful in supporting this research project. My mentor and I started work on the project early in the year by analyzing the data we had gathered. In 2017, I attended a nursing conference hosted by the National Association of Neonatal Nurses, which is where we surveyed nearly 200 NICU nurses about their understanding of whole-genome sequencing. This survey included both qualitative and quantitative questions. My mentor guided me through the process of interpreting and organizing the qualitative data, which we divided into several subsets within each question.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there are 2.9 million registered nurses in the U.S who practice in a variety of settings including faith communities. The faith community nurse blends care of the spirit along with physical health to prevent or decrease illnesses. To stay informed of the latest evidenced-based practice, continuing education is essential. Due to many factors; work schedules, family, and location, meeting educational needs can be a challenge. The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ preferences related to delivery methods and day/time as well as topics of interest that influence nurses’ decisions when choosing …

Managing The Effects Of Poor Sleep Quality In Nurses, Emily Huene, Sarah Rausch, Georgia Vasiu, Hannah Lopez, Rachael Valentz, Msn, Rn, Ccrn
Nursing Undergraduate Work
Staffing shortages, high turnover rates, and prolonged work shifts has caused decreased sleep quality in nurses due to fatigue. The fatigued nurse causes concern for safety, coordination and agility, patient avoidance, lack of compassion, impaired cognitive function, risk for chronic diseases, and patient care errors. This systematic research review was designed to identify evidence-based practice nursing interventions currently being used to manage the effects of reduced sleep quality. Methods for performing this systematic research review were to search multiple databases using keywords, scanning article titles and abstracts, and critiquing for relevance and quality. Findings from this systematic review found multiple …
The Role Of Resilience And Preparedness In Nurses Working During Hurricane Disasters, Julie George
The Role Of Resilience And Preparedness In Nurses Working During Hurricane Disasters, Julie George
Nursing Theses and Dissertations
Problem: Resilience is the ability to “bounce back” from adversity and can serve as an avenue for nurses to recover from the disaster and subsequent potential issues related to coping with the event. To date, very little is found in the literature specific to nurses and how they adapt to and recover from disasters in their personal or professional lives.
Theory: Taormina’s (2015) theory of adult personal resilience and Veenema’s disaster management model (World Health Organization [WHO] and International Council of Nurses [ICN], 2009) provided the foundation of this study.
Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that levels of personal and professional …

Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Fatigue-related impairments in the nursing workforce contribute to a multitude of health, safety, and economic consequences at the individual, organizational and societal levels. Long and compressed work schedules are commonly worked in the healthcare industry, but more research is needed to understand the cumulative effects of multiple work shifts on physiology-based performance outcomes in nurses. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a single nursing work shift versus three compressed (one every 24 hours) 12 hour shifts on performance-based fatigue in nurses and aides. Twenty-six fulltime hospital working nurses and aides (age = 36.1 ± 13.3 …

Faculty Work Comprehensive List
The activities of daily living (ADLs) is a term used to collectively describe fundamental skills that are required to independently care for oneself such as eating, bathing, and mobility. The term activities of daily living was first coined by Sidney Katz in 1950. ADL is used as an indicator of a person’s functional status. The inability to perform ADLs results in the dependence of other individuals and/or mechanical devices. The inability to accomplish essential activities of daily living may lead to unsafe conditions and poor quality of life. Measurement of an individual’s ADL is important as these are predictors of …

Are Nurses High Risk For Experience With Behavioral Health Problems?, Farrah Alayne Thornsberry
DNP Projects
Abstract
Behavioral health problems impact approximately 19% of the United States population and nurses are not exempt from these experiences. In fact, nurses may be at higher risk for developing a behavioral health issue than the general public. The purpose of this study was to identify specific demographic, work-related, and behavioral variables associated with substance use and personal experience with any mental and or behavioral health problems among nurses in an academic healthcare system. Being female, younger in age, higher level of education and increased use of alcohol were risk factors associated with self-reported experience with behavioral health problems. Additionally, …

Moving On After Critical Incidents In Health Care. Second Victims: A Qualitative Study Of The Experiences Of Nurses And Midwives, Melanie Buhlmann
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Aims: The aims of this study were to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of nurses and midwives who have been involved in a critical incident in a non-critical care area and to explore how they have ‘moved-on’ from the event.
Background: It is irrefutable that health care is intrinsically risk-laden and perceived to be personally and professionally demanding for those who are employed within it. The term ‘second victim’ has been assigned to health care professionals who experienced emotional distress as a result of their involvement in critical incidents. Despite the recognition that critical incidents contribute to workrelated …
Just Culture: It's More Than Policy, Linda Paradiso, Nancy Sweeney
Just Culture: It's More Than Policy, Linda Paradiso, Nancy Sweeney
Nursing Faculty Publications
[Description] Paradiso and Sweeney discuss the relationship between trust, just culture, and error reporting in medical care. Errors rarely occur in a vacuum, rather they're a sequence of events with multiple opportunities for correction. Clinical nurses can have a significant impact on reducing errors due to their proximity to patients. Just culture is a safe haven that supports reporting. In a just culture environment, organizations are accountable for systems they design and analysis of the incident, not the individual. The shift to a just culture is a slow process that takes years to develop and hardwire. Hospital-wide policies that incorporate …

Work Engagement Of Hospital Nurses And Patients’ Ratings Of Nurse Communication, Overall Hospital Rating And Likelihood To Recommend The Hospital To Others, Apryl S. Lewis
All ETDs from UAB
Significance/Background: Work engagement may play a key role in quality patient outcomes. The inpatient hospital experience is a U.S. healthcare system priority with one component of the patients’ hospital experience focused on hospital staff-to-patient communication. Nurses are the main communicators of vital information about inpatient care and recovery and, therefore, play a critical role in achieving high scores on patient experience measures. Past studies show a relationship between high levels of nurse work engagement and positive patient outcomes, such as quality of health services, but it is unknown if hospital nurses’ work engagement is associated with patients’ hospital experience ratings. …
