Nursing Graduates' Ability To Address Incivility: Kirkpatrick's Level-3 Evaluation, Cynthia Clark, Sara Ahten, Rosemary Macy
Nursing Graduates' Ability To Address Incivility: Kirkpatrick's Level-3 Evaluation, Cynthia Clark, Sara Ahten, Rosemary Macy
Sara M. Ahten
Background Addressing incivility in nursing education has an important twofold purpose, to increase civility within the nursing education experience and to lay the groundwork for creating cultures of civility in professional nursing practice. Given the serious impact of incivility, it is imperative to prepare students to foster civility in their nursing practice upon graduation. Methods In a previous article, the authors described how a classroom-centered, problem-based learning (PBL) scenario, simulating a nurse-to-nurse uncivil encounter, was used to assess student learning according to Level 1 and Level 2 of Kirkpatrick's Model of Evaluation. This subsequent article presents the findings of a …

Proactive Policy Planning For Unexpected Student Distress During Simulation, Janet Willhaus, Mitzi Averette, Michael Gates, Janet Jackson, Susan Windnagel
Proactive Policy Planning For Unexpected Student Distress During Simulation, Janet Willhaus, Mitzi Averette, Michael Gates, Janet Jackson, Susan Windnagel
Janet Willhaus
Stress reactions resulting from participation in simulation scenarios are seldom reported in the literature but are often informally discussed by simulation faculty seeking guidance to manage the occurrences. Although simulation faculty members often describe events where a single learner’s distress interrupted learning for all involved, no examples of policies to plan for this kind of occurrence are available in the simulation literature. This article offers suggested best practices for identifying and assisting students who exhibit uncontrolled stress in simulation and includes a sample policy for planning.

Background: The majority of society's deaths occur in a health care environment. Regardless of whether a death occurs in acute care, hospice, residential aged care or community settings, nurses are the health professionals that will spend the largest proportion of time with the patient who has a terminal condition and their families. As few nurses have specialist palliative care qualifications it is essential that nursing education prepares graduates to achieve the core capabilities required for the delivery of best evidenced based palliative care. This reality makes the integration of palliative care content into the undergraduate nursing curricula an important priority. …

How To Implement The Electronic Health Record In Undergraduate Nursing Education, Carol Sternberger, Linda Meyer, Tammy Toscos
Carol S Sternberger
Information literacy, evidence-based practice (EBP), and informatics are fundamental to delivering culturally competent, safe patient care. Yet most nursing schools continue to educate students in traditional ways; only a minority integrate high-fidelity simulations, require evidence-based literature to support nursing interventions, identify the five core competencies for healthcare professions delineated by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and incorporate the electronic health record (EHR) to stimulate critical thinking and decision making. The Health Information Technology Act (2009) requires all healthcare facilities to fully adopt EHRs by 2014. This will change how nurses practice, underscoring the importance of teaching students about informatics and …

The Effect Of Curricular Sequencing Of Human Patient Simulation Learning Experiences On Students’ Self-Perceptions Of Clinical Reasoning Abilities, Rebecca Jensen
Rebecca S Jensen
It is unknown whether timing of human patient simulation (HPS) in a semester, demographic (age, gender, and ethnicity), and situational (type of program and previous baccalaureate degree and experience in healthcare) variables affects students‘ perceptions of their clinical reasoning abilities. Nursing students were divided into two groups, mid and end of semester HPS experiences. Students‘ perceptions of clinical reasoning abilities were measured at Baseline (beginning of semester) and Time 2 (end of semester), along with demographic and situational variables. Dependent variable was Difference scores where Baseline scores were subtracted from Time 2 scores to reveal changes in students‘ perceptions of …
Student Evaluations Of Interprofessional Simulation, Rebecca Jensen, Deborah Poling
Student Evaluations Of Interprofessional Simulation, Rebecca Jensen, Deborah Poling
Rebecca S Jensen
Statement of problem While the 2010 report “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” proposes that nurses work collaboratively with other health care professionals, relatively little has been published on the use of simulation to achieve this goal in nursing and other disciplines. Student ratings of and interprofessional simulation and its effect on collaboration with other disciplines will provide valuable information on ways to improve interprofessional simulations.
Hypotheses
- Students’ self-ratings of confidence for patient care will improve from beginning to end of the simulation.
- Students’ self-rating of collaborative learning will improve from beginning to end of the simulation.
- Students …
Residents' Descriptions Of What Makes Meaning In Nursing Homes, Nila Reimer
Residents' Descriptions Of What Makes Meaning In Nursing Homes, Nila Reimer
Nila Reimer
A move toward care of residents in nursing homes where they are respected and heard is finally emerging. While a focus on individualizing care for residents is now recognized, research reveals there remains a lack of understanding about what befitting care is for these residents. Two common strategies used in an attempt to determine what is meaningful for residents in nursing homes include measuring their responses to satisfaction surveys and implementing person-centered care. Although satisfaction surveys and approaches of integrating person-centered care have served as valuable methods to measure nursing home quality, these strategies have not revealed what residents consider …

Struggling To Maintain Occupation While Dealing With Risk: The Experiences Of Older Adults With Low Vision, Debbie Rudman, Suzanne Huot, Lisa Klinger, Beverly Leipert, Marlee Spafford
Lisa Klinger
The primary aim of this descriptive phenomenological study was to describe the core aspects of living with low vision in later life among older adults (aged 70 years and older) who had not accessed rehabilitation services for low vision. Thirty-four older adults from urban and rural areas participated in a semi-structured qualitative interview and a telephone follow-up. Drawing on an occupational science perspective and using Giorgi and Giorgi’s (2003) method of analysis, the essence of the experience of living with low vision was identified as struggling to maintain valued and necessary occupations while dealing with risk. Additional themes included enhanced …

When Self-Presentation Trumps Access: Why Older Adults With Low Vision Go Without Low Vision Services, Marlee Spafford, Debbie Rudman, Beverly Leipert, Lisa Klinger, Suzanne Huot
Lisa Klinger
Reasons were sought for low-vision service nonuse in a group of Canadian seniors with self-reported low vision. Audio-recorded semistructured interviews were completed with 34 seniors with low vision: age range (70 to 94 years; mean: 82 years); 16 urban dwellers (12 women); 18 rural dwellers (14 women). Qualitative content analysis and template analytic techniques were applied to transcriptions. Informant nonuse of low-vision services involved: insufficient knowledge, managing for now, and practitioner behavior (inadequate rehabilitation education and management). Underlying seniors’ attitudes that shaped their self-presentation and service nonuse included a strong need for independence, a contextualization of vision loss relative to …

Family Presence During Trauma Resuscitation: Ready For Primetime?, Mae Pasquale, Michael Pasquale, Leslie Baga, Sherrine Eid, Jane Leske
Michael D Pasquale MD, FACS, FCCM
BACKGROUND: The concept of family presence during trauma resuscitation (FPTR) remains controversial. Healthcare providers have expressed concern that resuscitation of severely injured trauma patients is inappropriate for family members as they may have psychologic distress, disrupt resuscitative efforts, or misinterpret provider actions, which can ultimately impact satisfaction with care. The minimal evidence that exists is descriptive or anecdotal.
METHODS: Using a previously developed FPTR protocol, a prospective, comparative study assessing 50 adult family members, who were present (n = 25) or not present (n = 25) with their severely injured adult family member during resuscitation, was conducted. Family member anxiety …

Decreasing Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections In The Non-Icu Population, Alma Medina, Teresa Serratt, Michele Pelter, Tami Brancamp
Teresa Serratt
Central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates above the national average precipitated a quality improvement project aimed at reducing this trend. We implemented daily chlorhexidine bathing and used 4 strategies to promote a change in practice and culture in our medical/surgical units. These strategies include the following: (1) staff education, (2) leadership support, (3) resource availability, and (4) increased awareness and accountability. Since implementing these strategies, there has been a significant reduction in CLABSI rates in the medical/surgical units.

Enforcement Of Hospital Nurse Staffing Regulations Across The United States: Progress Or Stalemate?, Teresa Serratt, Suzanne Meyer, Susan Chapman
Enforcement Of Hospital Nurse Staffing Regulations Across The United States: Progress Or Stalemate?, Teresa Serratt, Suzanne Meyer, Susan Chapman
Teresa Serratt
Enactment of hospital nurse staffing regulations was brought about by changes in the U.S. health care system that resulted in large-scale reductions in nurse staffing. These reductions came at a time when studies were highlighting inadequacies in care that caused negative patient outcomes and raised questions about the safety of hospitalized patients. Nurse staffing regulations were enacted to ensure that adequate numbers of nurses were available to provide high-quality and safe care. Although these regulations represent progress toward addressing staffing inadequacies, enforcement language is absent or weak and compliance data are either not collected or difficult to access. Explicit and …

This study examines the use of Facebook by certified nurse anesthetist students. Our results showed that, contrary to expectations, most were neutral about faculty, physicians, and supervisors viewing their Facebook profiles but expressed concerns about patients seeing such information. Many (30%) of our respondents had observed unprofessional content posted on the social network sites of their classmates including: intoxication or substance abuse, profanity, sexually suggestive photos or comments, and negative work-related comments. A vast majority indicated they would accept a ‘friend’ request from their supervisor and a physician but not a patient. Surprisingly, about 40% had initiated a ‘friend’ request …

Postpartum women often suffer clinically significant depressive symptoms, a problem addressed by nurse-delivered screening programs. In the past, success of these identification programs was measured in terms of screening rates; however, merely evaluating the screening rate does little to inform howto implement depression screening in clinical practice. This article describes the experiences of nurses in implementing depression screening on a maternity unit. We evaluate the practice qualitatively, by asking nurses to describe their screening strategies and their views about implementation, as well as quantitatively by assessing their screening rates and the number of women identified. Utilizing a framework of program …
