Using Collaborative Objective Simulation Clinical Evaluation With Undergraduate Nursing Students And Nurse Anesthesia Students Labor Epidural Placement In An Active Labor Patient, Chaka K. Jackson, Aisha Pierre Dec 2020

Using Collaborative Objective Simulation Clinical Evaluation With Undergraduate Nursing Students And Nurse Anesthesia Students Labor Epidural Placement In An Active Labor Patient, Chaka K. Jackson, Aisha Pierre

Doctoral Projects

Developing interdisciplinary teamwork and patient communication skills are essential for the student registered nurse anesthetist (SRNA) to provide quality patient care when administering epidural anesthesia. The synthesis of the evidence revealed limited available information on simulation use for SRNA epidural administration and collaboration. This doctoral project examined the effectiveness of learning through traditional simulation to enhance communication and collaboration between the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and the Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP) students. The BSN and NAP students were provided with a simulation environment to care for a laboring patient while improving patient safety and quality outcomes. The project …


Uniform Clinical Evaluation For Video Laryngoscopy In Nurse Anesthesia Training: A Policy Proposal, Kristen Yelverton Dec 2020

Uniform Clinical Evaluation For Video Laryngoscopy In Nurse Anesthesia Training: A Policy Proposal, Kristen Yelverton

Doctoral Projects

At The University of Southern Mississippi’s (USM) Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP), no standardized clinical evaluation for video laryngoscopy (VL) use exists. To address the gap in standardized evaluation of VL, an evidence-based, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) will be developed and proposed to the USM NAP. The intervention to this need is the evaluation of the OSCE and supporting documents by the panel of experts. The aim of the OSCE would be to teach SRNAs in a step-by-step process how to properly handle a video laryngoscope and the necessary techniques to ensure both patient and student safety (Wunder et al., …
