Adoption Of Innovation: Impact Of Rituximab (Rituxan®) Faster Infusion On Oncology Nurses' Perceptions, Practice, And Resource Utilization, Keith Dawson
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
The translation of advances in clinical research into clinical practice in a manner that provides benefits while reducing potential harm is a challenge within the health care delivery system. Data from a phase III multicenter clinical trial led to the 2012 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a 90-minute infusion of rituximab (Rituxan) starting at Cycle 2 for patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma who did not experience a Grade 3 or 4 infusion-related adverse event during Cycle 1. The 90-minute rituximab faster infusion will result in a significant change in how nurses in the United States have been administering …
Recognition Of Compassion Fatigue Among Medical-Surgical Nurses: The Provision Of Education To Manage The Effects, Kandace Woodruff
Recognition Of Compassion Fatigue Among Medical-Surgical Nurses: The Provision Of Education To Manage The Effects, Kandace Woodruff
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2010) recommends that healthcare organizations make the “recruitment and retention of qualified nurses a priority”. The ability to comply with the recommendation is fraught with challenges. Nurses are required to care for patients across the age span with varying medical complexities. There are work related stressors which are inherent to the care of a more acutely ill patient population. The tenuousness produced by this type of environment can predispose the nurse to a stress induced phenomenon known as, Compassion Fatigue. The literature is abounding with information related to compassion fatigue among various nursing specialties. However, …
A Gap Analysis Of Nursing Systems And Practices In Malaysia: Culturally Appropriate Interventions To Advance Nursing, Chenit Ong-Flaherty
A Gap Analysis Of Nursing Systems And Practices In Malaysia: Culturally Appropriate Interventions To Advance Nursing, Chenit Ong-Flaherty
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
This project comprises a gap analysis of differences between American and Malaysian nursing programs, and additionally, proposes culturally appropriate interventions for Malaysian nursing to adopt American nursing models. The gap analysis was conducted on nursing systems and practices in Malaysia undertaken to identify the differences between Malaysian and American nursing, and the influences that affect Malaysian nursing. The aim is to facilitate the use of the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Pathway to Excellence Practice Standard #4: Orientation Prepares New Nurses for the Work Environment, and #6: Professional Development is Provided and Used. The proposal of culturally appropriate interventions as …

Self-Tracking, Social Media And Personal Health Records For Patient Empowered Self-Care, C Paton, Margaret M. Hansen Edd, Msn, Rn, L Fernandez-Luque, Ays Lau
Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications
Objectives: This paper explores the range of self-tracking devices and social media platforms used by the self-tracking community, and examines the implications of widespread adoption of these tools for scientific progress in health informatics. Methods: A literature review was performed to investigate the use of social media and self-tracking technologies in the health sector. An environmental scan identified a range of products and services which were used to exemplify three levels of self-tracking: self-experi- mentation, social sharing of data and patient controlled electronic health records. Results: There appears to be an increase in the use of self-tracking tools, particularly in …

Creating An Interactive Dnp Project Repository:A Model For Change, Sara D. Guido Dr.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
The creation of systems that can provide bridges to information technology requires rethinking old ways of doing business. In the past, individual universities and colleges would accommodate theses and dissertations on their library sites. Some of these sites are public and can be accessed by everyone, while some require university-specific affiliation.
This project aims to apply knowledge and skills related to information systems and technology. With the growth of the DNP clinical doctorate programs, and final outcome projects there is a need for specialized DNP database for a new method of data entry and retrieval for DNP’s. The creation of …

Horizontal Violence And The Quality And Safety Of Patient Care: A Conceptual Model, Christina Purpora, Mary A. Blegen
Horizontal Violence And The Quality And Safety Of Patient Care: A Conceptual Model, Christina Purpora, Mary A. Blegen
Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications
For many years, nurses in international clinical and academic settings have voiced concern about horizontal violence among nurses and its consequences. However, no known framework exists to guide research on the topic to explain these consequences. This paper presents a conceptual model that was developed from four theories to illustrate how the quality and safety of patient care could be affected by horizontal violence. Research is needed to validate the new model and to gather empirical evidence of the consequences of horizontal violence on which to base recommendations for future research, education, and practice.

Horizontal Violence Among Hospital Staff Nurses Related To Oppressed Self Or Oppressed Group, Christina Purpora, M A. Blegen, N A. Stotts
Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications
Horizontal violence among nurses is recognized as a major problem in hospitals; however, the origins and effects on patient care have not been studied. This study described the incidence of horizontal violence among hospital staff RNs and tested 2 hypotheses about the social origins of this behavior. A random sample of 175 hospital staff RNs drawn from the California Board of Registered Nursing's mailing list was surveyed. Horizontal violence was reported by 21.1% (n = 37) of participating nurses. Hypotheses were supported. Findings suggested (a) a positive relationship between beliefs consistent with an oppressed self and horizontal violence (r = …

In 2010, nearly 400 million women worldwide were of menopause age (45-54). Although many women transition through menopause with ease, some experience distress and a subsequent decrease in quality of life. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of distress in women during the menopause transition. A narrative analysis methodology was used maintaining participants’ complete narratives when possible. In-person interviews of 15 midlife women were digitally audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Women shared narratives of distress related to menstrual changes, emotional instability, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido affected by their relationships with self, partners, work, and …

Screening, Brief Intervention, And Referral To Treatment: A Nursing Perspective, Chenit Ong-Flaherty
Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications
Screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) was first initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the mid 1980’s in recognition of alcohol as an important contributor of ill health, mental health issues, injuries from trauma, and social problems .1 For example, in 2002, 3.2% of deaths worldwide were attributed to alcohol use.1 SBIRT has been successfully implemented in primary care and emergency departments and globally.1-11 In emergency medicine, SBIRT has been mandated by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma for all Level I trauma centers in the United States.8 There are …
Presence In Nursing Practice: A Critical Hermeneutic Analysis, Alicia Laurel Bright
Presence In Nursing Practice: A Critical Hermeneutic Analysis, Alicia Laurel Bright
Doctoral Dissertations
Research Topic
Presence, although it involves action at times, is a humanitarian quality of relating that is ethically generated and has real-world implications for both patient and nurse. It is an interpersonal process characterized by sensitivity, holism, intimacy, vulnerability, and adaptation to unique circumstances that results in enhanced mental wellbeing for nurses and patients, and improved physical wellbeing for patients. Knowing and being with are foundational to being present.
Theory and Protocol
This research is grounded in critical hermeneutics and follows an interpretive approach to field research and data analysis (Herda 1999). This orientation places the researcher and participants in …
