Methods: An eLearning intervention consisting of a virtual lecture with an unfolding case study for undergraduate nursing students. This project utilized the Nurses’ Delirium Knowledge Assessment (NDKA) …
Increasing Health Literacy Through Noteaid Translational Tool In Nursing, Liz Catherine S. Cory
Increasing Health Literacy Through Noteaid Translational Tool In Nursing, Liz Catherine S. Cory
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Background: Many adults in the United States lack health literacy necessary to understand patient education materials given to them, such as discharge summary. Re-hospitalization rates are higher due to poor transition of care planning. Older adults may only be provided with written instruction for their complex chronic conditions with multiple changes in medical or treatment plan, or uncommon surgical procedures. Nurses are instrumental in bridging the gap, as they often educate, advocate, and use health technology.
Purpose: To educate nurses on the availability of NoteAid as a natural language translation system that can help increase their comprehension of electronic health …

Doctoral Dissertations
The author conducted this constructivist grounded theory study to describe perceptions, behaviors, and communication that hospice caring triads engage in while managing cancer pain, specifically how these social processes can be assessed and used to improve poorly-controlled pain. Three hospice caring triads comprised of patients, family caregivers, and nurses along with one nurse-patient dyad, were recruited into this longitudinal qualitative study. Each group was observed during nursing visits. Triad and dyad members were individually interviewed. Nurses participated in a focus group and survey. The author used constant comparative methods of data analysis, including line-by-line gerund coding, theoretical codes from cancer …
