Leadership Connection

Recruiting and retaining members are not the only important parts of a chapter's success. Engaging members in professional and valuable programs that foster educational tools that will help members in their practice are also successful tools that keep members active within a chapter.

Evidence-Based Practice, Drug Policy, And The Promotion Of Harm Reduction In Nursing And Society, Jonathan D. Irwin

Leadership Connection

Session presented on Monday, September 19, 2016:

Along with significant morbidity and mortality, the drug epidemic and drug war have brought widespread incarceration, hospitalization, and numerous other individual, family, and social harms. Drug overdose kills more Americans than gun violence, car crashes, or suicide, and injection drug use puts users and the public at risk for HIV, viral hepatitis, and other infections (CDC, 2014). In the researchers' mid-size population home state, over 15,230 were hospitalized at a cost of $16-29 thousand each (Jenkins & Toevs, 2014). With the drug epidemic worsening, the United States and other countries are in the …

Comprehensive Strangulation Education For Health Care Practitioners, Jeanne Parrish

Leadership Connection

There is no formal strangulation assessment taught to health care practitioners resulting in missed injuries from strangulation and missed opportunities to intervene before violence can escalate in lethality.

The purpose of this project is to develop an educational program for health care practitioners on identifying Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and strangulation, assessing strangulation injuries, how to complete medico-legal documentation of the same and ethical intervention for the family affected by IPV.

IPV affects almost one third of families in the United States (US), and an estimated three women die in the US every day as a result of IPV. Women …

Development Of A New Practice Model: Postmortem Sexual Evidence Collection Forensic Examiner Multimedia Training Module, Kirsten O. Turkington

Group: Northern Arizona University School of Nursing, DNP Doctoral Papers

The aim of this Forensic Nurse Examiner (FNE) practice improvement initiative was to design an online multimedia training module for postmortem sexual evidence collection. FNEs, as clinical experts in antemortem sexual assault and interpersonal violence evidence collection, are uniquely qualified for the expanded role in postmortem sexual evidence collection. Current forensic literature lacks data regarding injury identification in sexual homicide victims limiting forensic training, new program development and potential advancements in forensic research. Additionally, inconsistent data collection in sexual homicides poses prosecution concerns with identification of sexual homicides and evidentiary examinations. Antemortem and postmortem sexual evidence collections are not identical …

Opioid Use Disorder Education For Student Nurse Practitioner, Priscilla L. Hussain

Group: Nebraska Methodist College

Expansion of opioid use disorder (OUD) care is direly required of United States, and student nurse practitioners (NPs) are capable of assessing and addressing OUD in their clin- ical settings. However, academic programs for student medical doctors and NPs lack ad- equate training for such large-scale epidemic. This capstone project recruited 7 student NPs to participate in an interactive learning module prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s): “Module 5: Assessing and Addressing Opioid Use Disorder”. Overall, student NPs found the module useful in increasing knowledge and ability to diagnose and treat OUD. It is time academic …

Scenario-Based Learning For Forensic Nurse Examiners, Lauren Awe, Valerie Anderson

Group: Nebraska Methodist College

Problem: Approximately 53 million American women have faced a form of violent sexual crime during their lives. Victims often report experiencing further trauma by a healthcare professional who does not have specialized training.

Intervention: Scenario-based trainings prove beneficial in helping handle and address challenging individuals or conversations, in addition to being made aware and addressing one’s own biases. Participation in these trainings have a positive effect on participants’ attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, in addition to increasing confidence in their roles and improving patient outcomes.

Measures: The Likert Scale, utilizing a zero to five scale, with zero being “not at all” …

Npwh Position Statement: Prevention And Management Of Opioid Misuse And Opioid Use Disorder Among Women Across The Lifespan [September 2020 Update], National Association Of Nurse Practitioners In Women's Health

Group: National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH)

The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH) supports the role of Women's health nurse practitioners (WHNPs) and other nurse practitioners (NPs) who provide healthcare for women across the lifespan in the provision of safe and effective treatment of pain. In certain cases, this treatment may include the prescription of opioid pain relievers (OPR). NPWH acknowledges that NPs must use evidence-based strategies to reduce harm from the misuse of OPR and to prevent the development of opioid use disorder (OUD). These strategies include screening for opioid use/misuse/ abuse, educating patients about the risks associated with OPR misuse, and …

Npwh Position Statement: Systemic Racism And Implicit Bias In Women's Healthcare, National Association Of Nurse Practitioners In Women's Health

Group: National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH)

The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH) is committed to addressing structural racism and implicit bias in meaningful ways that will improve Women's healthcare and reduce health disparities. Structural racism encompasses the ways a society fosters racial/ethnic discrimination through intersecting and reinforcing systems. Structural racism creates differential access to opportunities by race/ethnicity and perpetuates inequities among these groups. Implicit bias derives from an individual’s learned stereotypes and prejudices that automatically and unconsciously influence affect, behavior, and cognitive processes. Implicit bias affects patient–clinician interactions, treatment decisions, treatment adherence, and patient outcomes. Implicit bias in the healthcare setting and …

Npwh Position Statement: Menstrual Equity And Menstrual Health, National Association Of Nurse Practitioners In Women's Health

Group: National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH)

The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health asserts that all individuals who menstruate should have adequate access to appropriate menstrual products and to facilities that support privacy, safety, hygiene, and sanitation for changing menstrual products, washing body and hands, and cleaning or disposing of used materials. As well, all individuals who experience menstruation should have access to accurate, timely, and age-appropriate information about the menstrual cycle, expected changes that occur from puberty through menopause, and related self-care and hygiene practices. Access to healthcare for timely diagnosis and care for menstrual-cycle related discomforts and disorders is important for menstrual …

Former Extremists In North American Research, Ryan Scivens, Steven Windisch, Pete Simi

Sociology Faculty Books and Book Chapters

"In what follows, we explore how researchers studying key issues in terrorism and extremism studies have incorporated formers into their work by tracing current trends in the empirical research in a North American context. First, we examine how those relying on interviews with formers have uncovered a complex web of overlapping push and pull factors that predispose extremist onset. Second, we explore how the use of formers to understand radicalization processes has provided valuable insight that would not have been available through secondary sources. Third, we discuss how formers have better informed our understanding of the processes of leaving extremism. …

Which Way? Experiences Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing Attaining Supports To Meet Their Interwoven Socio-Cultural, Health And Disability-Related Needs And Aspirations Within The Context Of Australia’S National Disability Insurance Scheme, Jody Barney, Alexandra Devine, Damien Howard, Marie Huska, Hannah Lack, Yeokyung Kim, Yi Yang, George Disney, Peter Summers, Ashley Mcallister

Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

The life experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing are often more complex than for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are hearing, or non-Aboriginal Australians who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. In turn, this can make engaging with and benefiting from policies and programs such as Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) more complex, particularly for individuals living in remote settings. To understand more about these complexities, yarnings were held with 15 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander NDIS participants who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing living in rural …

Co-Producing Learning Space In A Prison-University Partnership, Ross E. Little

Journal of Prison Education Research

This article explores a classroom co-produced by learners serving prison sentences, undergraduate criminology students and a pair of lecturer-facilitators. This space, in a high security prison for men serving life sentences (‘HMP Lifer’), provides a good example of ethical praxis and moral sight working in combination to mitigate against moral and ethical blindness. It is a mechanism by which pedagogical concerns, and some human-centred ones, can be realised in an unconventional context.

There are two areas to the discussion. Firstly, the effects of incorporating students from outside the prison into the classroom space, such as enhanced proximity, the reduction of …

Unveiling Transnational Organised Crimes Networks: Maritime Narcotics Trafficking And Smuggling In Kepulauan Riau, Sayed Fauzan Riyadi, Azhari Setiawan, Ardi Putra, Aspin Nur Arifin Rivai

Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional

Maritime routes in Kepulauan Riau Province, Indonesia, serve as pivotal entry points for narcotics trafficking and smuggling within the Southeast Asian region. This study delves into the establishment and evolution of these illicit networks by examining three key variables: demographic and socio-economic characteristics, operating structures and classifications, methods, means, and funding sources. Leveraging an analysis of 355 court rulings records, the authors constructed a comprehensive dataset encompassing these variables. The findings underscore the intricate nature of narcotics trafficking networks, spanning from production to distribution, with involvement at various levels across diverse demographics. Notably, the exorbitant earnings potential, with couriers fetching …

Revisiting Marcuse On Repressive Tolerance: A Twenty-First Century Retrospective, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Herbert Marcuse’s essay Repressive Tolerance (RP) has been praised by the Left and vilified by the Right for its alleged promotion of censorship targeting reactionary opinions and actions. I argue that this interpretation of the text is mistaken. According to my alternative reading of the text, RP should be understood as an exercise in provocation and irony aimed at defending civil disobedience and dissent. Marcuse’s defense of dissent, however, appeals to a critique of pure tolerance that exposes the unavoidably partisan practice of tolerance, which invariably favors the reigning undemocratic status quo. The choice whether to tolerate in a manner …
