The Effect Of Obtaining Chest Pain Center Accreditation On The Compliance With Current Practice Standards, Lisa Stephenson Jan 2012

The Effect Of Obtaining Chest Pain Center Accreditation On The Compliance With Current Practice Standards, Lisa Stephenson

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

The Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC) has created a holistic model focused on providing best care to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. The SCPC uses the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines to define best practice for treating ACS patients. The objective of this evidence-based practice project was to obtain SCPC accreditation at a rural hospital in Northwest Indiana and improve adherence with the ACC/AHA standards of care. In the literature, eighteen articles were reviewed and found to be level II or higher using Polit & Beck’s hierarchy of evidence. The literature review revealed that hospitals demonstrated …


The Integration Of An Online Module On Student Learning, Karen S. Yehle, Karen Chang Jan 2012

The Integration Of An Online Module On Student Learning, Karen S. Yehle, Karen Chang

School of Nursing Faculty Publications

Heart failure is a prevalent and costly condition. Patients with better self-management are less likely to be rehospitalized. An online interactive heart failure module was developed and integrated into a medical-surgical nursing course to assist students in learning how to care for patients with heart failure. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the integration of an online heart failure module improved baccalaureate nursing students' heart failure self-management knowledge. A pretest/posttest design was used to examine the effects of student knowledge of heart failure self-management following implementation of an online module. Among 235 students, significant improvement of heart …

Patients With Cancer And Family Caregivers: Management Of Symptoms Caused By Cancer Or Cancer Therapy At Home, Daniela M. Hazelwood, Sabine Koeck, Martin Wallner, Kathryn H. Anderson, Hanna Mayer

Nursing: Faculty Publications

People are diagnosed with cancer sooner nowadays thanks to increased awareness and improvements in cancer screenings. Patients are able to live longer due to cancer treatment regimens; however, they suffer the consequences of living with cancer and therapy-related symptoms. Symptom management is challenging for both patients and family caregivers. Therefore, family members must be integrated in the patient’s care plan. For this review, a literature search was conducted to determine what types of interventions were available that involved family members of cancer patients with the management of cancer and therapy-related symptoms. The following interventions were found that were designed for …


Developing Positive Attitudes Toward Geriatric Nursing Among Millennials And Generations Xers, Barbara A. Heise, Vickie Johnsen, Deborah O. Himes, Debra Wing Jan 2012

Developing Positive Attitudes Toward Geriatric Nursing Among Millennials And Generations Xers, Barbara A. Heise, Vickie Johnsen, Deborah O. Himes, Debra Wing

Faculty Publications

Despite the increase of the older adult population, there exists a shortage of health care professionals trained to help this population remain independent as long as possible. Ageism, common among younger adults, affects the capacity building of health care for older adults. Research has indicated that increased knowledge about older adults, as well as exposure to the elderly, may alter nursing students' attitudes regarding careers in gerontological nursing. However, questions remain as to what are the most effective ways to provide gerontological content in nursing programs and enhance attitudes toward older adults. With the understanding that younger adults see a …

School of Nursing Faculty Publications

The goal of the study was to determine the association between diabetes and inflammation in clinically diagnosed diabetes patients. We hypothesized that low-grade inflammation in diabetes is associated with the level of glucose control. Using a cross-sectional design we compared pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines in a community recruited cohort of 367 Mexican Americans with type 2-diabetes having a wide range blood glucose levels. Cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8) and adipokines (adiponectin, resistin and leptin) were measured using multiplex ELISA. Our data indicated that diabetes as whole was strongly associated with elevated levels of IL-6, leptin, CRP and TNF-α, whereas worsening …


Bridging The Gap Between Student And Real World. Student Perspectives On Nursing Externships, Janice Hawkins, Lauren O'Connor, Rachelle Ann Santo Domingo Jan 2012

Bridging The Gap Between Student And Real World. Student Perspectives On Nursing Externships, Janice Hawkins, Lauren O'Connor, Rachelle Ann Santo Domingo

Ellmer School of Nursing Faculty Publications

[First paragraph] As senior nursing students in the 2011-2012 academic year, we recognized how difficult it is for students to transition from the classroom to the "real world" of nursing practice. Through the nursing curriculum, we have become extremely knowledgeable about numerous diseases and nursing care for different patient populations. However, with limited hands-on clinical experience, how are student nurses able to comprehend all of the diseases, disorders, and conditions studied in the classroom? Making connections between what is learned in theory and what is applied in nursing practice can only be achieved through experience.


Critique And Appraisal Of A Study On The Attitudes Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale, Jessica Stamey, L. Lee Glenn Jan 2012

Critique And Appraisal Of A Study On The Attitudes Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale, Jessica Stamey, L. Lee Glenn

ETSU Faculty Works

Excerpt: The recent study by Floden, Lennerling, Fridh, Rizell and Forsberg [1] concluded that using the Attitude Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale (ATODAS) is ready for use in future research studies because it has good psychometric properties for measuring ICU nurses’ attitudes towards advocacy on behalf of potential and actual organ donors. However, that conclusion is not supported by the data in the study because of lack of evidence of measurement validity
