Charge Nurse Orientation, Angela Zafke

Nursing Capstones

Traditional undergraduate training focuses heavily on clinical skills with minimal emphasis on leadership. In practice, a nurse with clinical prowess is often promoted to the charge nurse position. Taking on the leadership role of a charge nurse can be a stressful experience without proper training and preparation that leads to burnout and turnover. With more experienced nurses facing retirement, now is the time to prepare future nursing leaders. This starts with adequately preparing a nurse to lead within the unit in the charge nurse role. A comprehensive literature review was conducted regarding charge nurse orientation. Charge nurse competencies were not …

Employee Wellness Pilot Program, Michelle Van Kirk

Nursing Doctoral

Background: Mental health professionals caring for the veteran population are at increased risk for compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress based on the nature of their work. While mental health professionals may experience positive outcomes from providing compassionate care to veterans, compassion fatigue can lead to instability of the workforce. Methods: A pilot employee wellness program was implemented over a 9-week period, offering a different wellness module weekly during the employee lunch hour. Demographic data were collected pre-program, and mental health employees were surveyed pre- and post-program using an intent to stay scale and the Professional Quality of Life …

The paper classified 5006 retrieved articles, using the following ten categories – publication year, citation, country, institution, type of document, language, subject, author, source title and key-word – for distribution status of different areas, in order to explore the trend of researches in …

Electronic Profiling Of Synthetic Dna Using Schottky Junctions, Souhad M.A Daraghma

Student Works (2020-2029)

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has attracted a lot of attention lately owing to the discovery of its semiconducting property and is considered as an interesting material that could find applications in nanotechnology and electronic devices. In-depth understanding of its charge transfer mechanism is however required for effective development of DNA-based technology. This unfortunately remains still a non-trivial task despite the numerous theoretical and experimental studies that have been conducted to date. The complexity of the previously employed methods, and their lack of accuracy has made it difficult to grasp the clear understanding of the electronic behaviors of the DNA molecules under …

Diversity: Lack Of African American Presence In Nursing Leadership, Dawn Carroll

DNP Qualifying Manuscripts

Aim. The purpose of this manuscript is to synthesize the literature on the paucity of African Americans in nursing leadership, the importance of inclusion, and the barriers to advancement.

Background. The nursing workforce does not reflect the population served. Minorities remain underrepresented in nursing and nursing leadership despite efforts to close the diversity gap.

Evaluation. The literature reviewed examined the lack of diversity in nursing and nursing leadership, perceived barriers to career advancement, and current efforts to diversify nursing leadership. Nine peer-reviewed, critically appraised studies are included.

Key Issues. Ensuring the nursing workforce represents the patient population served can …

Is Environmentalism The Right Strategy To Decarbonize The World?, Marco Marini, Ornella Tarola, Jacques-Francois Thisse

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

We study how the supply of environmentalism, which is defined by psychic benefits (costs) associated with the purchase of high-environmental (low-environmental) qualities, affects the way firms choose their products and the ensuing consequences for the global level of pollution. Contrary to general belief, a high supply of environmentalism does not give rise to a better environmental outcome because it endows firms with more market power which they use to maximize profits. By contrast, standard policy instruments such as a minimum quality standard or the use of greener technologies leads to a better ecological footprint.

Data: The Good, The Bad And The Ethical, John D. Kelleher, Filipe Cabral Pinto, Luis M. Cortesao

Articles

It is often the case with new technologies that it is very hard to predict their long-term impacts and as a result, although new technology may be beneficial in the short term, it can still cause problems in the longer term. This is what happened with oil by-products in different areas: the use of plastic as a disposable material did not take into account the hundreds of years necessary for its decomposition and its related long-term environmental damage. Data is said to be the new oil. The message to be conveyed is associated with its intrinsic value. But as in …

Reference Checks, Tara Myers, Megan Paul

Umbrella Summaries

What are reference checks?

Reference checks are hiring tools, typically used as one of the last steps in the hiring process. “A reference check generally involves contacting applicants’ former employers, supervisors, coworkers, and educators to verify previous employment and to obtain information about the individual’s knowledge, skills, abilities and character” (Society for Human Resource Management, 2020, p. 1). For example, potential employers use this as an opportunity to get additional information about applicants’ job performance, communication, time management, teamwork, professionalism; honesty; and attention to detail (Hendricks, Rupayana, Puchalski, & Robie, 2018). The questions used on reference checks depend on the …

Peer Influence In Initiation To Heroin Use, Barbara J. Costello, Bradley J. Anderson, Michael Stein

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Much research on heroin initiation shows that most people use heroin initially with friends or family. However, there is little research examining why those who use heroin would initiate others to its use, and conversely, whether and why one might try to prevent initial heroin use in others. Following recent work on peer influence on crime and delinquency, we test the hypothesis that those with higher levels of self-control are less likely to initiate others to heroin use and are more likely to try to prevent others from using for the first time. The sample included 370 persons entering an …

Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, And Mental Distress Among Young And Mature Men And Women: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study, Lina Begdache, Saloumeh Sadeghzadeh, Gia Derose, Cassandra Abrams

Health & Wellness Studies Faculty Scholarship

Customization of mental health therapies needs to consider the differences in degree of brain maturity between young (18–29 years) and mature (30 years or older) adults as well as brain morphology among men and women. The aim of this study was to identify the significant dietary

and lifestyle contributors to mental distress in these sub-populations. Independent repeated cross- sectional sampling was performed for over a 5-year period (2014–2019) to collect data from different

populations at different time-points and seasons. A backward stepwise regression analysis was used on 2628 records. Mental distress in young women was associated with high consumption of …
