Increasing Clinical Internal Mobility Through A Student Nurse Technician Program, Radiance G. Bean
Increasing Clinical Internal Mobility Through A Student Nurse Technician Program, Radiance G. Bean
EBP Fellowship
Practice Problem: Currently 67% of internal applicants are hired into our nurse residency program. Feedback from nursing leadership suggests internal candidates often fall short in areas like interviewing skills and professionalism, making external candidates stronger. Given the higher education resources provided to team members and our organization’s commitment to internal mobility, identifying ways to support employees and retaining top nursing talent is a priority. Our EBP question is: Will participation in a Student Nurse Technician (SNT) program increase the percentage of Patient Care Technicians (PCTs) in good standing that are accepted into the nurse residency compared to the current …
Elevating Nursing Leadership: How Nurse Managers Empower Unit Practice Councils, Katie Fields
Elevating Nursing Leadership: How Nurse Managers Empower Unit Practice Councils, Katie Fields
EBP Fellowship
Problem: Unit Practice Councils (UPCs) are foundational to Nursing Professional Governance (NPG), a structure that is designed to foster autonomy, accountability and authority for nurses. These councils are vital for empowering nurses to engage in decision-making and implementing practice changes. At one large pediatric hospital, UPC effectiveness varied across units, largely due to differences in nurse manager engagement and support. This variation highlighted a critical gap in how nurse managers were supporting UPCs within their unit. To close this gap, it was important to identify leadership best practices and behaviors that lead to successful UPCs. The following PICOT question …

Ask Me 3® In Action Advancing Health Literacy In Pediatric Acute Care, Yaseming Medina
EBP Fellowship
Background: Parents and caregivers’ understanding of how to provide safe and effective care at home is vital. However, elevated levels of stress and limited health literacy face significant challenges in understanding discharge instructions.
For parents of pediatric patients seen in an acute perioperative setting, how will the use of the Ask Me 3® health literacy tool impact understanding of medical information and communication with healthcare providers?
Literature Evidence: Patients who understand heath instructions make fewer mistakes when they take their medicine, follow treatment plans, and prepare for medical appointments (Six-Means, Amy, et al, May 2012). Patients have reported …

Empowering Nurses: A Training Initiative On Essential Oils For Pediatric Neurosurgery Patients, Sheri Sacks
EBP Fellowship
PICO Question: In pediatric neurosurgical bedside nurses, does education on lavender essential oil, compared to no education, improve knowledge, confidence and intent to integrateit as a complementary therapy for TBI patients?
Literature Review: Pediatric neurosurgery patients often face increased anxiety and agitation. Nurses may lack knowledge of non-pharmacological interventions to reduce agitation and anxiety in their patients. Literature review used MeSH Headings and keywords to find recent English articles. Evidence shows EO reduces anxiety. Lavender inhalation lowers anxiety, pain, and vital signs in pediatric dental patients. In adults, aromatherapy decreases anxiety, pain, blood pressure, and improves sleep, also …
Fierce And Focused - Virtual Reality Support For Pediatric Oncology Patients, Javarius Barber-Esparza
Fierce And Focused - Virtual Reality Support For Pediatric Oncology Patients, Javarius Barber-Esparza
EBP Fellowship
Practice Problem: Pediatric oncology patients often experience anxiety during needle procedures. Even with anesthetic pain management in place, visually encountering the needle can be more distressing than the procedure itself. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a nonpharmacological tool that provides immersive distraction, effectively lowering pain perception and anxiety. Studies show VR reduces anxiety during medical procedures, including accessing Implanted venous access devices (IVAD). Yet, its adoption in pediatric oncology settings remains limited.
Literature/Evidence: Search strategy in the CINAHL (EBSCOhost) database used MeSH headings and keywords, including English articles published within the last five years. Studies show that …
Improving Confidence And Competence In Treating Pediatric Peripheral Intravenous Extravasation, Ann Gosdin
Improving Confidence And Competence In Treating Pediatric Peripheral Intravenous Extravasation, Ann Gosdin
EBP Fellowship
Practice Problem: Peripheral Intravenous Infiltrations and Extravasation (PIVIE) can cause severe skin and tissue damage. Prompt intervention helps prevent moderate or severe skin tissue damage. In the U.S. PIVIE complications can cost $10,895 versus $7,009 per patient without PIVIE. An Australian ED estimated the annual cost of PIV occlusion/infiltration and dislodgement of $14.01 million Australian dollars.
Quality event reviews demonstrated a staff knowledge deficit of treating extravasations per guidelines. Treatment could be delayed if the Vascular Access Team (VAT) was not available. Education on treatment of IV extravasation was needed to address this practice gap.
PICO(T) Question: In …
