Debriefing For Meaningful Learning: Implementing A Train-The-Trainer Program For Debriefers, Aimee A. Woda, Jamie Hansen, Kristina Dreifuerst, Brandon Kyle Johnson, Anne Loomis, Nolan Cox, Cynthia Sherraden Bradley

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Debriefing for Meaningful Learning (DML) is a method of debriefing grounded in the theory of reflection used following a simulation or clinical learning experience to engage participants in an interactive dialogue aimed at examining and evaluating their thinking and decision-making processes. With increasing adoption of DML worldwide, a sustainable training program for nurse educators is needed. Attending conferences and workshops that provide training is challenging for many nurse educators because of time and cost constraints. One promising solution is the train-the-trainer (TTT) model. In this article, the development and implementation of a TTT model of DML debriefer training, adaptable to …

Engagement Of Families In The Care Of Hospitalized Pediatric Patients: A Scoping Review, Teresa Jerofke-Owen, Natalie S. Mcandrew, Karen Gralton, Joan P. Totka, Marianne E. Weiss, Alissa V. Fial, Kathleen J. Sawin

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

This scoping review was conducted to examine the range, nature, and extent of the published family engagement literature specific to the pediatric acute care setting to highlight future research and practice development opportunities. Included studies (N = 247) revealed global relevance. Engagement strategies ranged from more passive such as allowing/encouraging families to be present at the bedside to more active strategies aimed at promoting mutual and reciprocal nurse–patient interactions. Family engagement is distinguished by a mutually beneficial partnership of families with health care team members and care organizations. Future research in the area of family engagement in pediatric nursing …

Promoting Patient Engagement: A Scoping Review Of Actions That Align With The Interactive Care Model, Georgia Tobiano, Teresa Jerofke-Owen, Andrea P. Marshall

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Background

Conceptual clarity for the term patient engagement is growing. However, there is variability in patient engagement in healthcare, which could be due to the absence of models to guide practice or a myriad of organisational, nurse and patient factors. The recently developed ‘Interactive Care Model’ provides guidance on how to genuinely promote individualised patient engagement. An understanding of how to action this model in nursing is required.

Aims

The aim of this scoping review was to examine actions in the published scientific literature that align with the Interactive Care Model, in the context of nursing care of hospitalised patients. …

Individual Nurse Productivity In Preparing Patients For Discharge Is Associated With Patient Likelihood Of 30-Day Return To Hospital, Olga Yakusheva, Marianne E. Weiss, Kathleen L. Bobay, Linda L. Costa, Ronda G. Hughes, Morris Hamilton, James Bang, Peter I. Buerhaus

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Objective:

Applied to value-based health care, the economic term “individual productivity” refers to the quality of an outcome attributable through a care process to an individual clinician. This study aimed to (1) estimate and describe the discharge preparation productivities of individual acute care nurses and (2) examine the association between the discharge preparation productivity of the discharging nurse and the patient’s likelihood of a 30-day return to hospital [readmission and emergency department (ED) visits].

Research Design:

Secondary analysis of patient-nurse data from a cluster-randomized multisite study of patient discharge readiness and readmission. Patients reported discharge readiness scores; postdischarge outcomes and …

Patient Perceptions Of Patient-Empowering Nurse Behaviours, Patient Activation And Functional Health Status In Postsurgical Patients With Life-Threatening Long-Term Illnesses, Teresa Jerofke-Owen, Marianne E. Weiss, Olga Yakusheva

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Aim

To explore the trajectory of associations between the nursing care process of patient empowerment during postsurgical hospitalization and postdischarge patient self-management outcomes, specifically patient activation and functional health status.

Background

Patient-centred care models advocate for patient empowerment in long-term illness care. Postsurgical patients with life-threatening long-term illnesses frequently feel powerless, have unmet needs, decreased functional health status and high readmission rates; however, previous studies of patient empowerment have conceptualized empowerment as an outcome primarily in outpatient settings, with little attention paid to provider processes used to empower patients during hospitalizations.

Design

A non-experimental, prospective, correlational study.

Methods

This sample …

Retaining The Next Generation Of Nurses: The Wisconsin Nurse Residency Program Provides A Continuum Of Support, Marilyn Meyer Bratt

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Because of the high costs associated with new graduate nurse turnover, an academic-service partnership developed a nurse residency program that provides a comprehensive support system that spans 15 months. Now in its fourth year, involving more than 50 urban and rural hospitals of varying sizes and geographic locations, the program provides formalized preceptor training, monthly daylong educational sessions, and mentoring by clinical coaches. Key factors contributing to the success of this program are a dedicated, cohesive planning team of individuals who embrace a common agenda, stakeholder buy-in, appropriate allocation of resources, and clear articulation of measures of success, with associated …

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

OBJECTIVE. Intimate partner violence harms victims as well as families and communities. Many barriers account for limited intimate partner violence screening by nurses. The purpose of this study was to measure how participation in a curriculum about screening parents for intimate partner violence, at a pediatric hospital, affects a nurse's knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and self-efficacy for intimate partner violence screening.

METHODS. In this interventional, longitudinal study, data were collected before participation in an intimate partner violence screening curriculum, after participation, and 3 months later. The measurement tool was adapted from Maiuro's (2000) Self-efficacy for Screening for Intimate Partner Violence Questionnaire. …
