Cauti Bundle Education In A Long-Term Care Facility, Pius Awandem Tanyifor
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the most frequent but preventable infections that patients may acquire in healthcare, also known as HAI or nosocomial. A CAUTI bundle is a set of evidence-based practices (EBPs) that, when implemented together, can significantly reduce the occurrence of CAUTIs in any healthcare setting. The practice problem in a long-term care facility was the staff knowledge deficit on the CAUTI bundle. This is a staff education project. The pre- and post-survey results showed an increase in knowledge of the CAUTI bundle, from 56% in the pretest to 97 % in the posttest.

Increasing Knowledge And Awareness Of Colorectal Cancer Among Nursing Staff, Joelle Woodruff
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In the United States, colon cancer rates have dropped since the 1980s as more people are being screened for colorectal cancer. However, despite an increase in screening, rates are expected to increase through 2035. Patients who have a good relationship with their providers are more likely to complete colorectal cancer screening. However, providers rely on support staff to educate patients on the screenings. The local organization has struggled to improve cancer screening rates among its patients. Thus, the purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to determine whether an education intervention focused on colorectal cancer and screening …

Nurse Experiences Of Caring For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder In Los Angeles Pediatric Intensive Care Units, Makenna Brown
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
One in 22 California children is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In combination with sensory considerations, healthcare costs, and increased healthcare utilization, these children face a lesser quality of care and poorer health outcomes. The literature addresses healthcare needs and experiences from various viewpoints, but does not address the experiences of nurses (RN) caring for children with ASD in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of RN’s challenges, and the helpful strategies utilized in practice. A qualitative, grounded study approach, centered on the patient-and-family centered care conceptual framework, was …

Executive Summary: Educating Staff On The Use Of The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, Muktar Trawalley
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Suicidal ideation is a serious public health concern among individuals, especially in the United States. The Columbia-Suicide severity rating scale (C-SSRS) is the tool used to assess the severity and frequency of suicidal ideations. The gap in practice at this site is that mental health providers lack knowledge of using the C-SSRS. This evidence-based educational project aimed to improve nursing knowledge on using the C-SSRS in a psychiatric mental health facility. A practice-focused question was developed: Among psychiatric nurses in an outpatient mental health facility, does staff education on C-SSRS improve their knowledge of its application over 8 weeks, as …

Staff Education To Increase Substance Use Screening And Treatment For Adolescents In An Outpatient Primary Care Mental Health Facility, Surekha Gorantla
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This quality improvement staff education DNP project addressed the practice issue relating to adolescent substance abuse in the project mental health facility. The facility does not have a uniform process for addressing this problem. Follow-up care for adolescents treated in the clinic is a challenge because each provider uses a screening tool of their preference, creating inconsistencies in care and missed care opportunities. Therefore, identifying, reducing, and preventing the negative consequences related to adolescent substance abuse in this clinical setting is vital and needs to be prioritized. I developed and implemented a staff education program using screening, brief intervention, and …
