Effects Of Teach-Back Method Of Education On Knowledge Of Heart Failure Self-Care Management And Post-Discharge Knowledge Retention, Ama Awuah-Asamoah Msn, Rn, Acnp

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Approximately forty to eighty percent of patient education is immediately forgotten, and about fifty percent of retained information is inaccurate; knowledge is an essential bridge between patient teaching, comprehension and knowledge retention by using the teach- back method (Farris, 2015; Rouse et al., 2016; Stamp et al., 2014).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare teach-back education method versus standard education and care, on knowledge of heart failure (HF) self-care management at discharge and retention of knowledge at three to ten days post discharge.

Methods: A non-probability convenience sampling of 22 HF patients, 65 years and older, …

Evaluation Of A Simulation-Based Nurse Residency Program, Cheri A. Van Wyngarden

Doctoral Projects

Upon completion of nursing school, new graduate nurses sit for licensure examination to demonstrate the minimal knowledge necessary to practice safely as an entry level nurse. Despite satisfactory completion of this examination, many new graduate nurses lack the competency and confidence to safely practice (Jung, Lee, Kang, & Kim, 2016 & Liaw, Palham, Chan, Wong & Lim, 2014). Traditional models of preceptorship with orientation are not adequately preparing new graduate nurses for practice. Nurse residency programs narrow the gap between demonstrated knowledge and competent practice. Varying types of nurse residency programs have successfully replaced traditional nursing orientation methods across the …

Designing Ethakul: A Mobile Just-In-Time Learning Environment For Bioethics In Pakistan, Azra Naseem, Kulsoom Ghias, Sohail Bawani, Mohammad Ali Shahab, Sameer Nizamuddin, Waqar Kashif, Kausar S. Khan, Tashfeen Ahmad, Murad Khan

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

In developing countries such as Pakistan, bioethics has not been included in mainstream thinking in medical education. The authors’ experiences suggest that current methods of teaching bioethics are problematic as students are unable to translate theory to practice. Alternative pedagogies, such as just-in-time learning (JiTL) using mobile devices, may be able to foster the development and implementation of ethical reasoning among nurses, doctors, and medical and nursing students. This research was conceived to determine the effectiveness of mobile JiTL – anytime, anyplace learning through mobile devices – for teaching bioethics. After obtaining ethical clearance, a participatory design (PD) approach was …

Online Sexual Health Education With Rural Independent Study Charter School Students, Crystal L. Gardner Msn, Phn, Rn

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies continue to be public health problems in the United States. Each year there are about 20 million new STIs in the United States with about half of the infections occurring in people 15 to 24 years old (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016).

Objectives: The purpose of this descriptive pre- and post-test study was to determine if an online STI prevention program increased knowledge about STIs, STI related resources, and lowered STI risk-taking behaviors in rural northern California students attending an alternative high school.

Methodology: “Positive Prevention PLUS” curriculum and …

A Case Report Of Case Report Pursuit By Medical Student, Jonathan Li, Jennifer Wilson, Wayne Bond Lau

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

Medical students often seek case reports as vehicles for academic writing opportunities, conference presentation avenues, and residency/fellowship application highlights. Here we review a case where, due to unfortunate circumstances, a student made a unique diagnosis central to proper patient clinical care, wished to write up the case subsequently, but was ultimately excluded from the final work stemming from the patient case. We review the pitfalls that occurred in the process of pursuing publication of an interesting case, the educational value of pursuing case reports for students, the necessity for strong mentorship in this process, and general principles that medical students …

Facilitating Transition To Practice For Millennial New Graduate Nurses, Tiffani Marie Wise

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Despite the growing nursing shortage and the dire need for a full nursing workforce, attrition rates among new graduate nurses (NGNs) continues to be of concern. One answer to the nursing shortage includes the next generation of nursing graduates: millennials. It is vital that nursing administrators and educators collaborate to develop a transition-to-practice process that meets the unique needs of millennial NGNs to increase job satisfaction, thereby increasing intent to stay in the profession. The MSPM was implemented in an NGN medical-surgical residency as a means of maintaining job satisfaction, perceptions of support, and intent to stay, among NGNs. A …

New Internal Medicine Residency Program At A Community Hospital Improves Mortality Without Increasing The Cost Or Length Of Stay: A Two-Year Follow Up., Javad Savoj, Christine Mikhail, Rajesh Gulati, Napatkamon Ayutyanont, Alina Popa

Medical Education

Opening new residency programs in community hospitals is one strategy to address to address physician shortage. Previous reports have shown better mortality outcomes in university based hospitals. However, less is known about teaching community hospitals. Disrupting well-established workflows in community hospitals is feared to cause an increased cost and possibly a slide in quality of care. Our aim was to assess the impact of starting a new Internal Medicine residency program in a Graduate Medical Education (GME) naive community hospital.
