College Choice In Distance-Based Nursing Programs, Jill Lansing
College Choice In Distance-Based Nursing Programs, Jill Lansing
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The expansion and diversification of postsecondary education in the United States has led to greater options for students and prospective students for pursuing a college degree. An important trend in higher education today is distance education. Despite the growing prevalence of distance learning opportunities and the expanding body of research on distance education, research on the college-going decisions of distance learners is sparse. As more students enroll in distance-based higher education programs, it is increasingly important to understand how and why students make the decision to enroll in collegiate degree-granting programs. This study bridges the college choice and distance education …
Development Of A Quality Improvement Program To Support Evidence-Based Nursing Practice, Heather Richards
Development Of A Quality Improvement Program To Support Evidence-Based Nursing Practice, Heather Richards
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Nurses are expected to perform evidence-based practice (EBP) at the point of care (POC) to promote positive outcomes through the quality and safety of patient care. The struggle for nurses on the surgical digestive unit in a hospital to adopt EBP is the lack of access and knowledge to evidence-based research at the POC. The utilization of information technology is an innovated approach to providing access and knowledge for EBP at the POC to improve patient outcomes. The project was to develop a quality improvement program to improve nursing access and knowledge of EBP resources. The program was to identify …

A Study Of Registered Nursing Students’ Perceptions Of Confidence In Providing Quality Nursing Care To Patients With Alzheimer’S Disease Or Other Dementia, Louanne E. Harto
Doctor of Education (Ed.D)
There are currently millions of persons living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia; a number that will rise as the older adult population increases. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia who are admitted to the acute care hospital for a physical problem may not receive the same standard of care as those persons without a cognitive impairment. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of students in a prelicensure registered nursing program regarding their confidence to provide patient-centered nursing care to patients with cognitive impairment, specifically Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia. This quantitative study used a …

I Survived The Icu: Post-Intensive Care Syndrome From Patient And Nursing Perspectives, Catherine Bynum
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Excerpt from Introduction
After a head-on collision with a drunk driver, Kathy Torpie had a long road to recovery ahead of her. After three weeks in the intensive care unit (ICU), sedation, and mechanical ventilation, she was left with a set of symptoms coined Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) (Torpie, 2005). PICS is defined as “a condition that encompasses new or worsening impairments in the patient’s physical, cognitive, or mental status arising after critical illness and persisting beyond the acute hospitalization” (Makic, 2016, p. 172). With technological advancements, ICU survival rates are on the rise. Now that survival has increased, it …
Work And Family Conflict: A Comparative Analysis Among Staff Nurses, Nurse Managers, And Nurse Executives, Amanda Raffenaud
Work And Family Conflict: A Comparative Analysis Among Staff Nurses, Nurse Managers, And Nurse Executives, Amanda Raffenaud
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The nursing workforce increasingly faces issues that affect clinical and managerial practice. One such issue is work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC). Nurses face role strain as they confront the pressures from often competing work-and-family roles. This study assessed WFC/FWC among varying nurse roles: staff nurses, managerial nurses, and nurse executives. A random sample of 5,000 nurses, generated from registered nurses practicing in the state of Florida, was surveyed for this research study. Nurses were surveyed on demographics, perceptions regarding the work environment, and perceptions of WFC/FWC. Descriptively, nurses experienced more work-family conflict than family-work conflict. Regression analyses and …

DNP Scholarly Projects
Depression is one of the leading causes of disease and disability, often found in patients with long-term chronic physical conditions such as diabetes. Collaborative care, which includes care managers, has shown to improve depression outcomes in patients; usual care has been shown to be inadequate. This quality improvement project screened patients with diabetes for depression. Patients with an elevated depression screening score were provided care management support and rescreened every two weeks to evaluate depression symptoms. A small cohort of patients from two rural health clinics participated in the improvement project. The practices noted improvement in depression screening; patients who …

An Inpatient Rehabilitation Interprofessional Care Pathway For Traumatic Hip Fracture: A Pilot Quality Improvement Project, Sarah Plante
An Inpatient Rehabilitation Interprofessional Care Pathway For Traumatic Hip Fracture: A Pilot Quality Improvement Project, Sarah Plante
DNP Scholarly Projects
Background: Each year over 300,000 older adults are hospitalized for hip fracture. The impact of the cost of hip fracture on the US health care system is estimated to be as high as $9 billion, with the typical cost of a hip fracture episode around $30,000. Formalized pathways have been developed and successfully utilized for many patient presentations, including hip fracture, in the acute setting. Although this research is important to the comprehensive care of the elderly hip fracture patient, very little research exists that outlines evidence-based best-practice for patients in the post-acute recovery period.
Purpose: The primary aim of …

It is estimated that 24% of persons served by community mental health agencies have a co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorder (COPSD). Up to 50% of persons with substance abuse have co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (co/PTSD). A failure remains in objectively identifying this population in everyday practice. At a community mental health agency serving rural East Texas, a new Screening-Into-Intake Procedure (SIIP) for adults initiating services was implemented using the Iowa Model for Evidence-Based Practice. Implemented in four stages, this SIIP incorporated both self- and observer-rated screening instruments to assist in identifying and provisionally diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), COPSDs, …

Attitudes Of Nursing Staff In A Maternal Child Unit Regarding Palliative Care, Lindsey Mcanear
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Scholarly Projects - Archive
Background: Death in the neonatal period affects not only the patient and the family, but the nursing staff. Lack of education in palliative care puts undue stress on the staff and causes negative attitudes. Methods and Design: An evidence based project with a pretest, posttest, 30-day posttest design measured nurses comfort and involvement levels prior to an educational intervention, immediately after the intervention and 30-days post intervention. The sample was a convenience sample of nurses from an inpatient hospital. A psychometric instrument was used with higher scores indicating more comfort, and lower scores, indicating less comfort. This was also true …
