Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder Oct 2012

Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder

Deborah P. Schoenfelder

This article describes a teaching strategy used in an undergraduate gerontological nursing clinical course to familiarize students with evidence-based practice. Students are required to read and summarize an assigned evidence-based practice guideline published by The University of Iowa Gerontological Nursing Interventions Research Center. They then develop a "tip sheet," based on the assigned guideline, to disseminate to health care staff at their practicum sites, which is either a long-term care facility or a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. Nursing students' reactions to the assignment and nursing staff's responses to the tip sheets are discussed.

An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue Sep 2012

An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue

Maria (Lindell) Joseph

AIM: This study illustrates how King's theory of goal attainment was used to focus an examination of whole-person care (WPC) and to extend the range of knowledge needed for WPC and nursing practice. BACKGROUND: Leadership implemented a faith-based innovation using continuing education for patient care that incorporates body-mind-spirit and eight principles called CREATION. Three questions arose: (1) Is there an evidence-based framework to determine whether the philosophy supports the discipline of nursing? (2) How extensive is the adoption and application of WPC? (3) Does the model make a difference in the context of nurse-patient interactions and outcomes in support of …

Using Nanda, Nic, And Noc In An Undergraduate Nursing Practicum, K. Smith, Martha Craft-Rosenberg

Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg

Although use of diagnoses originally developed by NANDA (now known as NANDA-I), NIC, and NOC in education and practice is increasing, many faculty members have not been educated in their use and may be reluctant to teach these languages. This article provides guidance on the use of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC in clinical education. This guidance will facilitate both faculty and student learning.

Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg Aug 2012

Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg

Janette Y. Taylor

Racial autobiography, self-narratives on how one learned about the idea of race, has been underutilized as a tool to familiarize and orient students in the process of critical inquiry for nursing research. The aims of this article are to explore how racial autoethnography: (1) repositions students to effect an epistemological change, (2) challenges dominant ideology, and (3) functions as a link between the student and critical theories for use in nursing research. Students engage in and share reflective narrative about a variety of instructional materials used in the course. Reflective narratives are presented in a framework that addresses white racial …

Supporting Clubhouse Members In Their Role As Parents: Necessary Conditions For Policy And Practice Initiatives, Beth Hinden, Toni Wolf, Kathleen Biebel, Joanne Nicholson Mar 2012

Supporting Clubhouse Members In Their Role As Parents: Necessary Conditions For Policy And Practice Initiatives, Beth Hinden, Toni Wolf, Kathleen Biebel, Joanne Nicholson

Joanne Nicholson

OBJECTIVE: Given that the majority of adults with mental illness are parents, it is likely that a substantial number of members in the Clubhouse community are parents. Supporting members in their role as parents presents meaningful, philosophical and practical challenges for both individual Clubhouses and the Clubhouse movement. Supporting parents within the Clubhouse, however, is a necessary and logical step, consistent with the Clubhouse emphasis on rehabilitation and recovery. The current study explored the conditions necessary for supporting members in the parenting role in an existing Clubhouse. METHODS: A grounded-theory, ethnographic approach was used to collect data from multiple stakeholders …

The Invisible Children's Project: Key Ingredients Of An Intervention For Parents With Mental Illness, Beth Hinden, Kathleen Biebel, Joanne Nicholson, Liz Mehnert

Joanne Nicholson

This study used a collective case study design to identify key ingredients of the Invisible Children's Project, an intervention program for families in which a parent has a mental illness. Data were obtained from interviews with parents and service providers, and from family file records. Qualitative analyses were used to generate hypotheses regarding key ingredients and targeted outcomes, and to develop a testable intervention model. Key ingredients were defined as core processes, essential services, and mediators. Strong convergence across parents and providers suggested core processes defined by family-centered, strengths-based, emotionally supportive, and comprehensive approaches; essential services including family case management, …
