Improving Incidence Of Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries, Dena Chapman, Melissa Combs, Heather Lewis, Amanda Spamer, Gracie Young, Hope Van Duyne, Brandon Sproul, Sarah Stripp, Bethany Surline

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Pressure injuries remain a huge concern in both the acute and long term care settings worldwide. It is estimated that nearly 2.5 million people are affected each year by a pressure injury. They contribute to higher costs for care, decrease patient’s quality of life and can increase morbidity and mortality.

This project implemented the use of rounding by both skin care champions and nurse residents for high risk patients, while leadership utilized huddles to reinforce appropriate interventions. Turning and positioning every two hours was endorsed as was daily bathing for patients at high risk for developing pressure injuries.

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Family presence during resuscitation enables family members to be present during the resuscitation efforts of a loved one. The focus of this process is to provide support to the patient and their family, while also providing transparency and trust in the medical process and personnel.

The purpose of this project was to identify the impact on family members of witnessing life saving measures on their loved one.

Roadmap To Address Nursing Recruitment And Retention In Ambulatory Care, Susan Madison, Tiffany Smith

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

As hospital stays shorten, ambulatory care must expand to meet the increased patient acuity and need for care. Ambulatory care is the entry point for care delivery and the initiator of disease management and wellness (Ulrich, 2019). The ambulatory care system of Rochester Regional Health includes 400 registered nurses, and 600 licensed practical nurses with a nursing turnover rate of 18.75%.

By leveraging technology and innovation in program development, ambulatory-specific programs have been implemented to target nursing staff recruitment and retention, resulting in a 4% decrease in ambulatory nurse turnover rates.

Nurses Busting Burnout: How Self Care Programs Support Nurse Well-Being, Lenard Fernandez, Marguerite Loughrey, Andrea Cooley, Ashley Dilimone, Mariah Luce, Gabriella Rindell

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Nurses working in acute care suffer from high levels of stress, burnout and turnover. Our question: For acute care nurses, what is the effect of self-care program versus no program on moral resilience? A literature review was conducted and results showed that when education on group-based wellness practices was provided, there was increased job satisfaction, moral resilience, and problem solving ability. There were decreases in feelings of burnout, and improved work/life balance. Some studies demonstrated an increase in patient satisfaction. Within Rochester Regional Health, it may not be too difficult to implement group based programs and coaching services.

12-Hour Shifts: Heaven Or Hell?, Amy Bontrager, Mary Caprio, Lakysha Grant, Seth Kibler, Savanah Wirth, Sarah Reynolds

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

In many hospital settings, the 12-hour shift is the standard. While it may be better for continuity of patient care, many studies have looked at the effect it has on nurses as well as patient safety. This project identified themes in the literature and while it couldn’t see a precise path forward, flexible scheduling may be looming just over the horizon.

Nurse Navigation Supports Implementation Of Guideline Based Care, Michelle Ferguson, Uzma Iqbal, Alyssa Pino

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

The European Society of Cardiology has developed guidelines aimed at identifying and mitigating risk for cardio-oncology events in oncology patients. Cardiovascular risk factors, cancer type and therapeutic regimen present unique treatment considerations requiring individualized risk assessment. Use of a nurse navigator to initiate triage with pre-visit testing and to coordinate care with the provider ensures patients receive timely treatment.

The Effect Of Interruptions In Surgical Counts, Jaidin Degraw, Brooke Gisel

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Retained surgical items can lead to patient frustration and prolonged hospital stays. They remain the top reason for reoperation despite the tools that are used to maintain accurate counts. Minimizing disruptions and distractions in the operating room may be one way to assist circulating nurses in obtaining correct and consistent counts.

Flexible Work Schedules To Promote Leader Wellbeing Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership, Elizabeth Carreira, Rebecca Hall, Rebecca Dellafave

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Nursing leaders in ambulatory care may experience high levels of work-related stress and dissatisfaction with the number of hours they were working, and this dissatisfaction may result in higher turnover among nursing leadership.

The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to develop a flexible scheduling option for nursing leaders practicing in ambulatory care at Rochester Regional Health to promote leader wellbeing and role satisfaction.

Results indicated that leadership satisfaction with their role and the amount of time spent working with nursing staff increased. Perceptions of work-life balance improved as did their interprofessional relationships. A decrease in the average number …

Morale Wednesday, Sadie Bonetti, Christen Ballard, Desiree Dixon, Casey Legros, Danielle Pickney, Meghan Camp, Alyson Harp, Jonathan Ferrer, Catie Wood, Melissa Combs, Heather Lewis, Dena Chapman

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Many factors lead to low nurse satisfaction and poor morale. Some of the factors identified in the literature include organizational culture, burnout, staff shortages, and lack of leadership support. Nurses who are not satisfied at work may become less engaged and may be more likely to leave the organization

This project implemented manager rounding, break buddies, staff snack sharing and encouraged intentional recognition of peers.
