Implementation Of A Sustainable Peer Mentor Program In Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (Srnas)”, Kristin Cox
Doctoral Projects
Evidence has shown that Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist’s (SRNAs) stress is perceived as above average and is correlated with substandard patient care during clinical courses (Chipas et al., 2012). Some studies have indicated SRNAs experience low self-efficacy during clinical, which could lead to difficulty in thinking clearly or responding to clinical situations (Imus, Burns, & Weglarz, 2017). Peer mentoring has shown to result in stress reduction and improvement in self-efficacy in students (Barker et al., 2012; Giordana & Wedin, 2010). Despite the current evidence, a nurse anesthesia program in the southeastern United States did not have an organized peer mentor …
Nursing Student Confidence And Self-Efficacy In Simulation: Evidence Synthesis Project, Serena Shirey
Nursing Student Confidence And Self-Efficacy In Simulation: Evidence Synthesis Project, Serena Shirey
Nursing (graduate) Student Scholarship
The use of simulation-based activities is a growing trend in nursing pedagogy and requires evaluation to assess and improve outcomes. This project completed a review of multiple research studies and reviews to evaluate the effects of simulation and simulation methods on students’ sense of self-efficacy and confidence. The findings support the use of simulation and found that simulation does increase students’ perception of confidence and self-efficacy. The data collected included both qualitative and quantitative data. A few studies lacked generalizability due to small sample size and scenario selection. However, multiple methods were noted to improve the simulation experience and they …
The Impact Of Reflection On The Development Of Critical Thinking For Novice Nurses, Katherine D. Taylor
The Impact Of Reflection On The Development Of Critical Thinking For Novice Nurses, Katherine D. Taylor
Nursing (graduate) Student Scholarship
This capstone project explores the use of intentional reflection as and educational intervention during the orientation process and the development of critical thinking skills in new graduate nurses. Nurse educators in the clinical practice setting could potentially impact one aspect of the transition to practice for the novice nurse through the development of critical thinking through by facilitating the incorporation of reflection during the onboarding of a novice nurse. Further investigation in the form of an evidence syntheses specifically related to the impact of reflection on the development of critical thinking in the new graduate nurse was necessary. The results …
Failure-To-Rescue Simulations As A Risk Management Strategy For Registered Nurses, Trena K. Seago
Failure-To-Rescue Simulations As A Risk Management Strategy For Registered Nurses, Trena K. Seago
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Capstones
In the hospital setting, prevention of failure-to-rescue (FTR) events is an important aspect of patient safety. The use of patient simulation as a strategy to educate nurses on the prevention of these events offers two modes of learning: 1) experiential learning through simulation and 2) reflection through debriefing. The act of practicing to recognize a deteriorating patient through experiential learning and reflection may help increase nurses’ self-efficacy in recognizing a similar situation in their future practice. This quasi-experimental, one-group, pretest-posttest pilot study investigated the use of patient simulation among registered nurses (RNs) in the hospital setting as an anticipatory educational …
