Active Shooter Awareness Education And Training Using Best Practices For Nurses In Acute Care Facilities, Amanda Carol Dean
Active Shooter Awareness Education And Training Using Best Practices For Nurses In Acute Care Facilities, Amanda Carol Dean
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
The thought of having an active shooter at your place of work is unimaginable. The thought of having an active shooter at a place of healing is terrifying and distressing for patients, families, and nursing staff. An active shooter event, as defined by Hauk (2018), is when at least one person is actively killing or trying to kill people in a confined populated space. If an active shooter event were to take place in an acute care facility, nurses must be educated on best practices of responding to an active shooter, including identifying the situation, notifying the appropriate personnel of …
Evaluating Chain-Of-Command Self-Efficacy Through High Fidelity, Student-Directed, Obstetrical Simulation, Michelle Mcewen-Campbell
Evaluating Chain-Of-Command Self-Efficacy Through High Fidelity, Student-Directed, Obstetrical Simulation, Michelle Mcewen-Campbell
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
The purpose of this quasi-experimental capstone project was to evaluate the impact of high fidelity, student-directed, obstetrical simulation upon chain-of-command self-efficacy of baccalaureate nursing students. The convenience sample, composed of 48 junior nursing students, was randomly divided into four simulation groups, and then further randomly divided into active or observational status. Active participants planned interventions and participated in high fidelity obstetrical simulations related to patient safety and chain-of-command initiation. Active and observational students participated in a combined debriefing session. A pretest posttest design utilizing the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was utilized to measure chain-of-command self-efficacy in relation to both active …
Improving Attitudes Toward Interdisciplinary Collaboration Between Nursing And Medical Students In Simulation, Kristy H. Williams
Improving Attitudes Toward Interdisciplinary Collaboration Between Nursing And Medical Students In Simulation, Kristy H. Williams
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
This capstone project assessed whether a curriculum change for senior nursing students could have an impact on improving attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration. A convenience sample of 60 senior level nursing students and eight residents were enrolled in the study. The nursing students and residents participated in a high-fidelity simulation scenario, and were given a pretest and posttest using the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes Toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration. There was strong evidence (t= -1.971, p=.05) that the attitudes of physician-nurse collaboration improved for nursing students through a simulation based scenario with residents. The confidence interval for the difference was (-0.22, 0.002). Although …
The Impact Of Simulation-Based Learning Experience On Student Satisfaction, Perceived Self-Confidence, And Anxiety, Michelle Britt Warren
The Impact Of Simulation-Based Learning Experience On Student Satisfaction, Perceived Self-Confidence, And Anxiety, Michelle Britt Warren
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
Nurse educators are faced with the challenges of facilitating student learning in shorter time frames along with decreasing student opportunities to further their learning experiences in real-world clinical situations (LaFond & Van Hulle Vincent, 2012; Smith & Barry, 2013). There is an identifiable need for safe environments where students can practice and apply the knowledge they have learned in the didactic component of the course to the clinical situations (LaFond & Van Hulle Vincent, 2012; McClure & Gigliotti, 2012). The capstone project, "The impact of simulation based learning experience on student satisfaction, perceived self-confidence and anxiety" examined the implementation of …
Utilizing Early Simulation To Increase Clinical Confidence In Novice Nursing Students, Dana R. Martin
Utilizing Early Simulation To Increase Clinical Confidence In Novice Nursing Students, Dana R. Martin
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
The purpose of this project was to determine if early simulation would increase the clinical confidence of novice nursing students. A convenience sample of 20 junior nursing students in their first semester of a baccalaureate nursing program within a small, rural university participated in the project prior to their first clinical experience. The students were administered the Confidence Scale as a pre-test prior to the early simulation experience which consisted of a scenario comparable to what the students would experience in the clinical setting. After the simulation, the primary investigator facilitated a debriefing exercise and then administered the Confidence Scale …
Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (Adn) Self-Efficacy In Relation To Simulation Lab Experiences, Sarah W. Tate
Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (Adn) Self-Efficacy In Relation To Simulation Lab Experiences, Sarah W. Tate
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Self-Efficacy in Relation to Simulation Lab Experiences utilized a convenience sample of second-year associate degree nursing students to conduct a survey of their perceptions of an increase in self-efficacy or self confidence in relation to their simulation lab experiences. Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy was the theoretical framework for the study. Students who have high levels of self-efficacy have been shown to handle obstacles with less stress, perseverance, and success. In this study, 85% of the students agreed that simulation lab experiences were beneficial in increasing their confidence to perform safely in their preceptorship and …
