Development And Evaluation Of Trauma Informed Care Education For Licensed Nurses, Kristina O'Meara
Development And Evaluation Of Trauma Informed Care Education For Licensed Nurses, Kristina O'Meara
Epsilon Sigma at-Large Research Conference
Trauma informed care nursing education is crucial. Trauma informed care is a method of providing health care which understands the likelihood of past and present traumatic events in patients and families. The experience of past or present trauma often led to chronic diseases, substance abuse disorder, fragmented health care, fears surrounding health care, chronic stress, and other negative health consequences. The purpose of this project is to increase licensed nurses’ awareness and ability to practice trauma informed care in clinical practice, as well as promote policy initiation within the health care facilities. Method planning integrated the Knowledge to Action Cycle. …
Benefits Of The Use Of Probiotics In Preventing Secondary Infections, Sarah Cutcher
Benefits Of The Use Of Probiotics In Preventing Secondary Infections, Sarah Cutcher
Scholars Week
Through evidence based research, the use of supplemental probiotics has been shown to have a positive effect in preventing secondary infections in hospital patients. Although there are other techniques that have decreased the incidence of infections, such as reducing invasive procedures and aseptic techniques, these are external procedures designed to prevent infection. Probiotics are an effective method of internally preventing infection. By studying certain infections and the effect that probiotics have on their prevention, researchers can safely conclude which bacteria strain could help to prevent each infection. Some different types of issues that will be looked at are healthcare acquired …
Bolstering Moral Courage And Ethical Decision-Making Confidence To Moderate Nurse Leader Moral Distress, Lisa Krening
Bolstering Moral Courage And Ethical Decision-Making Confidence To Moderate Nurse Leader Moral Distress, Lisa Krening
Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference
Abstract:
Bolstering Moral Distress Knowledge, Ethical Decision-Making Confidence, and Moral Courage Among Nurse Leaders
Background
Nurse leaders report low confidence navigating ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas arise when ethical values are challenged, causing uncertainty about how to proceed. Left unresolved, ethical dilemmas impact ethical decision-making and can lead to moral distress. Moral distress is the anguish that occurs when there is recognition of an ethical dilemma necessitating a professional obligation to act, yet barriers exist to taking the ethically correct course of action.
To reduce moral distress, nurse leaders not only need to be able to identify an ethical dilemma, know …

Implementing In-Room Recycling On A Family Medical Center, Sarah Johnson
Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference
Abstract:
Title: Implementing In-Room Recycling on a Family Medical Center
Background:
Healthcare operations are estimated to generate up to 29lbs of waste per patient per day (Practice Greenhealth, 2022). Waste contributes significantly to healthcare’s carbon emissions, which in turn contributes to the growing climate crisis (Karliner et al., 2019, Healthcare Without Harm, 2019; World Health Organization, 2018). Diverting recyclable waste from healthcare operations will reduce healthcare’s total waste to landfill and waste related carbon emissions.
Recycling bin placement and contamination rates (the amount of items in recycling that should go to another waste stream) can impact recycling levels. Staff at …

Reducing Readmission (And Mortality) For Older Patients & Survivors Of Life-Threatening Conditions: A Study Using The Staarr Protocol, Akhenaten Amun
Symposium of Student Scholars
Readmission rates for patients admitted for heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, a myocardial infarction, a hip or knee arthroplasty, or coronary artery bypass surgery tend to have high readmission and mortality rates within 30 days of their discharge from a hospital. Starting in October 2012, the Healthcare Reimbursement Reduction Program enforced penalties on Medicare reimbursements for hospitals with readmission rates, for patients with the conditions above, were higher than averages based on facilities with similar characteristics and patient populations. Teach-back and verify (Klingbeil & Gibson, 2018), interdisciplinary teams that engage in patient care and support (Reiter-Palmon et al., …
Does Triage Education Reduce Classification Errors In The Ed?, Rachel Abukhdeir
Does Triage Education Reduce Classification Errors In The Ed?, Rachel Abukhdeir
Symposium of Student Scholars
IN A METRO ATLANTA LEVEL TWO EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, DOES THE APPLICATION OF TRIAGE EDUCATION REDUCE TRIAGE CLASSIFICATION ERRORS?
Abstract
Incorrect triage of patients leads to excessive wait times, an increase in length of stay, and escalating medical conditions. One of the most common triage systems in the United States is the Emergency Severity Index (ESI), a five-level triage system that focuses on prioritizing patient care based on the urgency of the patient’s illness. An assessment is performed by nurses to determine patients’ level of acuity. This method is subjective to the nurse performing triage. Currently, nurses have no or minimal …

Implementing The Option For 8-Hour Shifts Compared To 12-Hour Shifts To Protect The Well-Being Of Nurses And Patients, Savannah G. Bison, Madison R. Harden
Implementing The Option For 8-Hour Shifts Compared To 12-Hour Shifts To Protect The Well-Being Of Nurses And Patients, Savannah G. Bison, Madison R. Harden
Scholars Week
This project addresses the negative aspects of twelve hour shifts within the nursing profession and how a change to eight hour shifts leads to decreased burnout, increased job satisfaction, and a more positive work-life balance. The term ‘nursing shortage’ is often improperly used to imply only a deficit in registered nurses across the country; however, it is instead due to practicing nurses leaving the profession before retirement, especially in bedside positions. Nurses are searching for different paths for multiple reasons, but a common factor among all of them is burnout caused by the current system in place. This project addresses …
Improving Nurse Leaders' Transformational Leadership Skills In The Online Environment, Tanya Haight
Improving Nurse Leaders' Transformational Leadership Skills In The Online Environment, Tanya Haight
2022 Southern California Nursing Research Conference
Leadership is critical to the success of most organizations, and the achievement of an organization's goals is largely dependent on the leaders' ability to engage, motivate, and influence their teams—often referred to as Transformational Leadership. This is especially true for healthcare organizations wherein the morbidity and mortality of patients may be affected by the quality of leadership. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person meetings transitioned to the online format without nurse leaders' formal training. Leaders cited this lack of orientation as impeding their ability to sustain an online-virtual transformational leadership presence with their teams. They reported varying degrees …
Evaluation Of Current Post-Graduate Family Nurse Practitioner Training Programs: A Qualitative Analysis, John R. Massey
Evaluation Of Current Post-Graduate Family Nurse Practitioner Training Programs: A Qualitative Analysis, John R. Massey
Thinking Matters Symposium
Introduction: Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are master or doctoral-level trained registered nurses that manage the care of patients in the primary care setting. FNP post-graduate training programs further prepare FNPs and ease the transition from education to practice. While FNP post-graduate training programs are emerging and remain relatively new, they are becoming more commonplace as graduates and employers alike seek further preparation to practice in the primary care setting.
Methods: Interview questions were developed using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) guidelines. Participants were selected using convenience sampling. 14 semi-structured interviews with 19 key informants were conducted between …
Implementing Systematic Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity (Sogi Data) Collection At An Inpatient Hospital Located In The Southern Region Of The United States, Shawn Malugin
Epsilon Sigma at-Large Research Conference

LGBTQ patients experience marginalization and discrimination when seeking healthcare in the Southern Region of the United States. As a result, they experience negative healthcare outcomes. Collecting sexual orientation/gender identity (SOGI data) is vital in decreasing health disparities and improving hospitalized LGBTQ patients’ quality of care. Providers cannot adequately assess health risk factors or deliver culturally competent care without SOGI data knowledge.
Aims
The aim is to collect SOGI data during intake to implement a standard of care to promote LGBTQ health outcomes and decrease marginalization.
Processes
To understand how to provide high-quality care to LGBTQ patients, providers receive instruction …
A Nurse Leader Residency Program: Improving Leadership Competencies, Melanie Stanton
A Nurse Leader Residency Program: Improving Leadership Competencies, Melanie Stanton
Epsilon Sigma at-Large Research Conference
Ballad Health nurse leaders received little nursing leadership education or competency development before beginning their leadership roles; yet they are crucial to improve quality, safety, cost, patient experience, and team member engagement. Competency development is linked to improved nurse leader confidence, job satisfaction, and retention. Additionally, the organization is experiencing a shortage of prepared internal candidates to fill vacant nurse manager positions. The organization’s Chief Nursing Council (CNC) questioned if a leadership development program could improve new and aspiring nurse managers' leadership competency. The CNC aimed to improve nurse leader competency by implementing and measuring the effectiveness of an evidence-based …

The Impact Of A 12-Hour Shift Compared To An 8-Hour Shift On Nurse Health And Safety, Matthew Kramer, Andrea Howell, Kayla Kloes, Emmy Lam, Brittney Levy
Symposium of Student Scholars
Abstract
Background: An international healthcare concern is extensive shift length among registered nurses and the negative factors associated with nurse burnout. Cognitive impairment, medical errors, sleep deprivation, job dissatisfaction, and overall declined health and safety of nurses have been associated to long shift work hours among registered nurses globally. However, there is limited published evidence about the difference between 8-hour and 12-hour shift work.
Objective: This systematic review summarized evidence on the impact that 12-hour shifts compared to 8-hour shifts has on the health and safety of registered nurses.
Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCOHost, NCBI, Google Scholar, and …
A New Approach To Bedside Nursing: Bedside Reporting, Regan Hancock, Samantha Mcclure
A New Approach To Bedside Nursing: Bedside Reporting, Regan Hancock, Samantha Mcclure
Scholars Week
End of shift reporting in our chosen hospital has shown a level of unorganization and ineffectiveness. Currently, the practice is that the nursing staff are seated in or around the desk allowing for interruptions from phones, families, and other staff members. Interruptions like these allow for misinterpretation and communication errors which could lead to a decrease in a patient’s outcome and safety. Through utilization of three different theoretical frameworks along with evaluation of several meta-analysis and research based articles, we evaluated the effectiveness of bedside handoff reporting. The evidence is in favor of bedside handoff reporting. Therefore, the hospital should …

Family Presence During Resuscitation, Brittany Whistle
Family Presence During Resuscitation, Brittany Whistle
Scholars Week
Background:
Families want more involvement in their loved one’s care than they did just twenty years ago. Especially, in the matter of resuscitation efforts, this involvement remains controversial.
Evidence and Findings:
Based on research, theories, and multiple educated opinions, family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) needs to be implemented in hospitals. Theories by Kolcaba and Helvie demonstrate a need for comfort and positive energy around patients to enhance the healing process. Evidence has shown multiple benefits of FPDR. The patient receives a holistic approach of care, the family gains closure and feeling of participation of care, and provides a plan for …

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Initial Education, Allison Vititoe
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Initial Education, Allison Vititoe
Scholars Week
Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation has been proven successful among those with chronic pulmonary diseases. However, there is a low rate of involvement and a lower rate of completion for these patients.
One of the major underlying factors contributing to this problem is patients’ lack of motivation. If the patients can be given information on the benefits of this program that align with what they hold as important there will be increased level of motivation and subsequently completion of pulmonary rehabilitation.
The Effects Of Nurse-To-Patient Ratios On Patient Outcomes In A Variety Of Hospital Settings, Sydney Montgomery
The Effects Of Nurse-To-Patient Ratios On Patient Outcomes In A Variety Of Hospital Settings, Sydney Montgomery
Scholars Week
Nurse-to-patient ratios has been a topic of discussion that has gained momentum over the last several years. In the state of Kentucky, there is no policy mandating a maximum nurse to patient ratio. However, evidence-based practice suggests that lower nurse-to-patient ratios results in better patient outcomes and therefore, the majority of policies in place regarding nurse to patient ratios are not based on best evidence.

Identifying Pragmatic Aspects For Succession Planning Needs: Conversations With Nurse Managers And Nurse Directors, Tammy Whitney
2019 Sigma Region 15 Nursing Research Symposium
A severe nursing shortage is predicted by 2020, and just as alarming is the likely shortage of nurse managers and nurse directors. Effective succession planning for nurse leaders affects recruitment and retention, patient outcomes, staff engagement, and finances. Preparing successors for leadership is imperative for hospitals to surmount challenges today and in the future. The focus of this project was to discover first hand challenges of succession planning and opportunities for developments.
The Relationship Between Patient Satisfaction With Nursing Care And Nursing Job Satisfaction, Natalie Leriger
The Relationship Between Patient Satisfaction With Nursing Care And Nursing Job Satisfaction, Natalie Leriger
Scholar Week 2016 - present
Patient satisfaction, which has become a priority for hospitals and an indicator of quality, is a result of a patient’s perception of care. The consequences of not adequately providing high levels of patient satisfaction can be enormously costly to the greater healthcare system. The literature provided evidence that effective patient satisfaction is multifactorial; one key factor noted was nursing care. This study examined the relationship between patient satisfaction with nursing care and nursing job satisfaction. The researcher employed a quantitative correlational research design to find further evidence of this potential relationship. Ninety-eight patients participated in the study, as well as …

Programs That Can Support Nurses To Reduce Compassion Fatigue And Secondary Traumatic Stress: An Integrative Literature Review, Molly Gruettner
Programs That Can Support Nurses To Reduce Compassion Fatigue And Secondary Traumatic Stress: An Integrative Literature Review, Molly Gruettner
Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium
Compassion allows a nurse to empathize with their patient and their family, but it does not prepare the nurse to cope with stressful events. Repeatedly being exposed to traumatizing events, pain, distress, and suffering can lead to nurse burn-out and fatigue. Compassion fatigue is a unique form of burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS) encompasses ideas of compassion fatigue and the two terms are often used interchangeably. Objective: The goal of this systematic integrated literature review is to discover interventions to reduce compassion fatigue and STS in trauma nurses Methods: A systematic integrated literature review study was conducted using Ebscohost …

Abstract
Fatigue and sleepiness in nurses resulting from long 12-hour night work shifts were brought to the spotlight by a sentinel event alert published by The Joint Commission in 2011. By working these long hours, nurses place patient safety at risk. Napping mid-shift has been proposed as a means of reducing the physiological demands and mental decline of fatigue and sleepiness. However, implementation of napping and other fatigue relief measures by nurse managers has not …
Personal Protective Equipment Use For Patients With Clostridium Difficile, Mallory L. Compton
Personal Protective Equipment Use For Patients With Clostridium Difficile, Mallory L. Compton
Scholars Week
In researching the literature on correct PPE by healthcare staff when a patient has C. diff. I have found that the policy on PPE for patients with C. diff at Baptist Health Paducah is compliant. The theoretical framework used for this research is that of Imogene King. Their policy is evidence based and is also cost effective when it comes to preventing the spread of infection from patient to patient. There is no need for change to this policy at this time because it is supported by evidence in the literature.
