Benchmark Study On The Impact Of Nurse Managers’ Leadership Style On Job Satisfaction And Retention Of Nurses, Khatrina Swarup
Benchmark Study On The Impact Of Nurse Managers’ Leadership Style On Job Satisfaction And Retention Of Nurses, Khatrina Swarup
MSN Capstone Projects
Nurse managers play a crucial role in the healthcare system as they ensure that quality care is maintained and provide the necessary support for the nursing staff to perform their responsibilities well, amongst other duties. Nurses want patients to receive quality, cost-effective care, and these patients want the same. If nurses are happy with their jobs, they provide quality patient care, improving overall patient outcomes. Also, job dissatisfaction predicts how individuals perform at work and whether they intend to leave their position or not.
The current standard of practice does not specify what leadership styles nurse managers or leaders should …

The Impacts Of Consuming Peanuts During Pregnancy, Hannah Irons, Grace Jones
Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
Peanut allergy accounts for the majority of severe food-related allergic reactions. Childhood allergies have increased in prevalence by 50% between 1997 to 2011 with peanut allergies almost tripling between 1997 and 2017 (Turke, 2017). It tends to present early in life and affected individuals usually do not outgrow it. Reactions to peanuts can range from mild to severe, such as anaphylaxis. The diagnosis of a peanut allergy is confirmed with the detection of peanut-specific IgE (Czolk R., 2021). The question remains "how does one develop a peanut allergy?" Our research project has used evidence-based practice and nursing research to determine …
Mandatory Nurse-To-Patient Ratios Impact On Nurse Satisfaction In California Icus, Emily Mcguire, Anna Schmied
Mandatory Nurse-To-Patient Ratios Impact On Nurse Satisfaction In California Icus, Emily Mcguire, Anna Schmied
Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
The purpose of this research was to determine if nurse satisfaction was greater in California intensive care units (ICUs) where there is a mandatory nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:2, one registered nurse (RN) to two patients. Greater nurse satisfaction contributes to the overall improvement of both nurse and patient outcomes. Nurses who work in intensive care units experience high rates of mental distress and poor health due their job demands. Research shows that the mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios in California ICUs lead to fewer work injuries, greater nurse retention, and less burnout - all of which improves nurse satisfaction. This is compared …

Burnout In The Nursing Profession: Extant Knowledge And Future Directions For Research And Practice, Sara Labelle
Burnout In The Nursing Profession: Extant Knowledge And Future Directions For Research And Practice, Sara Labelle
Communication Faculty Articles and Research
Burnout is a psychological state resulting from prolonged psychological or emotional job stress, and is a culmination of three factors: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Due to the nature of the “people-work” they must constantly perform, along with a highly stressful and unpredictable work environment, nurses have alarmingly high rates of burnout among members of their profession. Given the importance of research on burnout to understanding the context-specific stressors and challenges of nursing, this review offers a synthesis of research published in the last decade in both nursing and communication journals, with an emphasis on discussing opportunities for …

IKOS has continued to monitor the nursing information behavior (NIB) of home care nurses. In earlier reports we described how we developed an online taxonomy of NIB. We then took on a qualitative analysis of video representations of home care nursing in the pandemic. Merging the codes from two rounds of open coding yielded a set of categories (or axes) that could be used to construct a narrative analysis. Contextual quotations from the video transcripts further reveal the intensity of the potential taxonomic extension. The importance of this research for knowledge organization is the understanding we develop concerning shifting taxonomies …

Shifting Employabilities: Skilling Migrants In The Nation Of Emigration, Yasmin Y. Ortiga
Shifting Employabilities: Skilling Migrants In The Nation Of Emigration, Yasmin Y. Ortiga
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This paper examines how Philippine state agencies sustain its labour-exporting strategies by encouraging aspiring migrants to invest in their own training and education, taking on the responsibility of turning themselves into desirable workers for employers overseas. Based on a document analysis of newspaper articles and Philippine government reports, this paper uses the case of Philippine nursing education to show how the Philippine state alters these discourses of skill when overseas opportunities decline, channelling aspiring migrants sideways to other sectors of the labour market. Discourses of employability justified these career detours to aspiring migrants by assuring them that such experiences will …

Patients On Non-Icu Floors Accessibility To Complex Monitoring Devices Compared To Standard Monitors On The Ability To Provide Critical Monitoring When Necessary, Ashton Seifert
Spring Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
Cardiac arrest that occurs in hospitals carries a mortality rate of 80%, even though there are numerous advances in health care (Yousaf et al., 2018). Typically, these life-threatening cardiac arrests can be preceded by changes in the client's status, specifically in the vital signs (Yousaf et al., 2018). While in the ICU mortality rates are increased and all patients are monitored on a monitor that can read Arterial line pressures, continuous pulses, and monitoring of oxygen saturation. Patients on the non-ICU floor receive monitoring using standard devices. These devices only monitor vital signs periodically and do not provide continuous monitoring …

Vascular Access Teams And Their Success In The Acute Care Setting, Amanda King
Spring Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIV) are frequently used in acute care settings for short-term delivery of intravenous (IV) medications and fluids (Marsh et al., 2018). While this is a common practice in the hospital, the insertion of these PIVs can be quite difficult. According to Marsh et al. (2018), multiple insertion attempts are common, and post-insertion failures from complications such as occlusion are as high as 69%, triggering the insertion of subsequent catheters. This research analyzed the use of a vascular access team, commonly known as an IV team, to improve PIV outcomes in the acute care setting. These vascular access …
