Effective teamwork and collaboration are vital components in the healthcare team’s ability to deliver safe, patient-centered care. New graduate nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare team; however, research reveals that many students' express anxieties when communicating with other healthcare personnel. The purpose of this project was to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of the importance of effective teamwork and collaboration, ultimately influencing the delivery of high-quality and safe patient care. In an effort to promote better patient outcomes and limit failures, the integration of TeamSTEPPS^® training and simulation into nursing curricula offers students an opportunity to build …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Two medication simulations increasing in rigor, patient acuity, and distractions were implemented among undergraduate nursing students.

Objectives: To increase nursing student confidence, knowledge, and competence when administering medications.

Design: Two medication administration simulations were implemented and data was collected from students via a pre-simulation quiz, observation during the simulation via a Clinical Simulation Evaluation Tool, and student evaluation of the simulation with a modified version of the Simulation Evaluation Tool Likert scale.

Settings: Gaston Community College nursing simulation lab.

Participants: 53 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in NUR 101 and 42 students in NUR 102 …

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to equip senior practical nursing students (n = 11) with the skills needed to increase their feelings of preparedness to join an intradisciplinary team in the workplace after graduation. This project utilized a pre-test/post-test design using TeamSTEPPS^® Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) to determine if participation in TeamSTEPPS^® training and a simulation exercise enhanced perception of teamwork in senior practical nursing students. A paired t-test was performed to analyze the data collected from the questionnaires acquired before and after the TeamSTEPPS^® training. The results showed a t-value of 8.49, greater than …
