Advancing Clinical Practice Using Precision Infusion Delivery And Standardized Flushing Protocol, Sudha Saravanan Sep 2026

Advancing Clinical Practice Using Precision Infusion Delivery And Standardized Flushing Protocol, Sudha Saravanan

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Ambulatory infusion centers are required to infuse complex therapies within scheduled chair times while sustaining excellent patient-centered care. This project evaluated how advanced clinical nursing practices can optimize routine infusion workflows by improving drug-volume accuracy and standardizing post-infusion flushing.

Infusion times go beyond expected time when nurses program pumps using manufacturer-stated volumes rather than actual bag volume, which often contains significant overfill [3]. In addition, variation in flushing practices creates inconsistent timed dose delivery and potential drug loss [2,4]. These deviations contribute to prolonged chair time and patient dissatisfaction.

Evidence supports weighed volume accuracy as an essential safeguard for time-dependent …

Leveraging Conference Learning Through A Proposal-Driven Approach To Nursing Innovation, Ashley Perry

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Frontline nurses often return from conferences with evidence-based ideas, yet translating these into sustained practice change is limited by factors including resource and process barriers.1,2 Evidence shows that strategies such as implementation science and structured innovation support improve adoption.2,3,4,5 In 2024, our hospital noted this gap after funding over 50 nurses to attend conferences where insights were shared but rarely transformed care delivery. To increase impact, we launched a proposal-based model that turns external learning into actionable improvements. Previously, conference attendees shared insights via presentations, a passive approach with few pathways for change.

Our purpose was to introduce …

Motivational Interviewing And Telehealth In Heart Failure Self-Care, Maryam Alharrasi Sep 2026

Motivational Interviewing And Telehealth In Heart Failure Self-Care, Maryam Alharrasi

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Heart failure (HF) remains a global public health challenge, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Oman. Poor self-care practices are a key contributor to high readmission and mortality rates among HF patients. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a process centered on exploring and resolving ambivalence, with the core motivational processes residing within the individual to facilitate change (Dellafiore et al., 2023). Another study suggests that MI might serve as a novel therapeutic approach for stabilizing and preventing HF by promoting self-care behavioral changes, even in patients with advanced HF and severely reduced ejection fraction (Sakane et al., 2021). Additionally, a …
