Comparison By Race/Ethnicity And Social Determinants Of Health In Early Postpartum Maternal Morbidities, Cynthia Joy Garringer
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Maternal mortality continues to increase in the United States, despite medical advances. Patients with negative social determinants of health (SDOH) and racial/ethnic minorities are at increased risk for maternal morbidities although most mortality and morbidities found in maternal health could have been prevented. The purpose of this study, guided by the SDOH conceptual mode, was to examine the relationship between the five components of SDOH and early postpartum morbidities among minority racial and ethnic groups. Secondary data (n = 1401) were obtained from a state health department in the Midwest for women who delivered in the year 2022 from one …

Increasing Nurses’ Knowledge Regarding Beers Criteria And Polypharmacy In Elderly, Non-Institutionalized Patients, Florence Chinwe Ukenye
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The elderly population, comprising individuals ages 65 years and above, accounts for 12% of the total population in the United States. Many elderly individuals residing in noninstitutionalized communities continue to experience the effects of polypharmacy despite efforts to employ evidence-based practices for medication reconciliation. Preventing polypharmacy among people ages 65 and older is crucial to avoid unintended drug abuse and subsequent adverse drug effects in this vulnerable patient group. One significant strategy to prevent drug-related problems and negative effects of medications is using the Beers criteria. The gap in practice in a post-acute care and rehabilitation facility addressed in this …

Effect Of Formal Toileting Programs On Urinary Tract Infection Rates In Long Term Care, Deborah Jeanmarie
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Urinary tract infection (UTI) accounts for up to 31% of sepsis diagnoses and is the fourth leading cause of infections in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Timed and prompted toileting programs are used by LTCs to reduce incontinence episodes, but there is a lack of information regarding the effectiveness of timed and prompted voiding incontinence management programs on the rate of UTIs. The purpose of this study, guided by Donabedian’s conceptual model of quality improvement, was to determine if there is a difference in the rate of UTIs in Georgia LTC facilities that have a timed and prompted voiding program and …

Education To Dialysis Clinical Staff About The Role Of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses In Home Dialysis, Bilinda Dawkins-Francis
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have become substantial issues in the United States. There is a call to action from scholars for nurses, especially advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), to cultivate APRN-led renal discipline teams and gauge directed health results. Nurse practitioners encounter and are responsible for identifying and managing patients in the home dialysis setting. It is essential to increase knowledge, teaching, and treatment options to nurse practitioners and clinical staff regarding the role of APRNs in home dialysis. The purpose of this project was to answer the practice-focused question addressing whether staff education about …

Experiences Of Undergraduate Nursing Faculty Adapting To The Changes Of The Next Generation Nclex, Marlene Kilpack Whiteside
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Undergraduate nursing faculty are responsible for preparing nursing students for patient care in a dynamic health care setting and are challenged with meeting the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) change to the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN). The National Council of State Boards of Nursing recommended the incorporation of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) and competency-based curriculum in preparation for NGN testing that began in 2023. Understanding how faculty experienced and adapted to changes in curriculum, patient-centered instruction, and NGN testing may help future nurse faculty in adapting.

Impact Of Traditional Education And Learner-Centered Education On Standardized Tests, Courtney Marie Winslow
Impact Of Traditional Education And Learner-Centered Education On Standardized Tests, Courtney Marie Winslow
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
There is a current shortage of approximately 45,000 nurses and nursing faculty to train student nurses, a number that is projected to grow. One proposed method to combat the shortage is to transition from traditional lecture-based classrooms to a learner-centered approach. Asking or requiring faculty to transition an entire nursing program from one teaching method to another without supporting data could be a waste of valuable time and resources. It could also prove detrimental to a program if students were unable to pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and a program was forced to close. The current study examined whether there was …
