Interprofessional Approach To Anxiety And Depression, John M. Sedrak, Benjamin Jones, Dominique Denbow, Ezra Aistrop-Gormley

CAIEP Fall Showcase 2024

A multidisciplinary approach for treating a patient from El Paso, Texas, with complex social and psychiatric challenges, including comorbid depression and anxiety. She faces limited access to resources, a sparse support system, and escalating social barriers. Environmental stressors, such as traffic pollution that exacerbates her asthma, and minimal community engagement further impact her mental health. An interprofessional care plan included mental health counseling, community outreach to enhance social support, and medical management to comprehensively address her interconnected health needs.

Children In Psychiatric Crises, Elizabeth Mcgarvey, Gabriella Demeo, Jasmine Clark, Carrie Ribbing, Paige Hameister, Sally Hannafon

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Mental illness in children is on the rise and more children are becoming psychiatric boarders while awaiting treatment. Many hospitals lack a separate area to board children in psychiatric crisis who can’t be discharged to home which means that children are housed in the same unit as adult psychiatric patients. This EBP project sought to identify best practices for children experiencing a mental health crisis, but a more thorough review of the literature as well as an evidence synthesis needs to be completed before practice recommendations can be identified.

Decreasing Workplace Violence In Ambulatory Care, Jeanene Case, Christine Cook, Nicole Gemme, Rebecca Hass, Taylor Mikiewicz, Lynn Paladino, Erin Parkinson, Maydelin Reve Padilla, Amanda Thongsirimonghoun, Carolyn Vojtush

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Workplace violence is recognized as a significant public health issue. Staff in ambulatory settings are at high risk for experiencing violence from patients or clinic visitors. Exposure to workplace violence may put staff at risk for depression, chronic fatigue, or poor job satisfaction. Developing a safety plan that incorporates organizational policy, staff training, environmental changes and debriefing may help reduce the risk of workplace violence.

Centralized Triage: Working Together To Improve Patient Safety, Quality And Satisfaction - A Focus On Improving Average Speed To Answer, Maria Larner, Tammy Palamitia, Nora Closser, Heather Waske

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

The speed in which triage calls are answered affects patient access to care. After addressing workflows and barriers through huddles and team meetings, this quality improvement project adjusted staff schedules, partnered with Access Coordinators, and utilized the Genesys team to streamline calls and monitor call volume, quality and safety.

Results from these initiatives substantially reduced the average speed to answer for both inbound and outbound queues. The team will continue to monitor the data and capture trends in volume to ensure we sustain the gains.

Improving Incidence Of Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries, Dena Chapman, Melissa Combs, Heather Lewis, Amanda Spamer, Gracie Young, Hope Van Duyne, Brandon Sproul, Sarah Stripp, Bethany Surline

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Pressure injuries remain a huge concern in both the acute and long term care settings worldwide. It is estimated that nearly 2.5 million people are affected each year by a pressure injury. They contribute to higher costs for care, decrease patient’s quality of life and can increase morbidity and mortality.

This project implemented the use of rounding by both skin care champions and nurse residents for high risk patients, while leadership utilized huddles to reinforce appropriate interventions. Turning and positioning every two hours was endorsed as was daily bathing for patients at high risk for developing pressure injuries.

Family Presence During Resuscitation Efforts, Gabrielle Gavin, Marissa Pecora, Gabrielle Narvaez, Kalpana Rai, Matthew Mendolera, Leanne Coon, Bailey Oldham, Olivia Pino

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Family presence during resuscitation enables family members to be present during the resuscitation efforts of a loved one. The focus of this process is to provide support to the patient and their family, while also providing transparency and trust in the medical process and personnel.

The purpose of this project was to identify the impact on family members of witnessing life saving measures on their loved one.

Roadmap To Address Nursing Recruitment And Retention In Ambulatory Care, Susan Madison, Tiffany Smith

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

As hospital stays shorten, ambulatory care must expand to meet the increased patient acuity and need for care. Ambulatory care is the entry point for care delivery and the initiator of disease management and wellness (Ulrich, 2019). The ambulatory care system of Rochester Regional Health includes 400 registered nurses, and 600 licensed practical nurses with a nursing turnover rate of 18.75%.

By leveraging technology and innovation in program development, ambulatory-specific programs have been implemented to target nursing staff recruitment and retention, resulting in a 4% decrease in ambulatory nurse turnover rates.

Nurses Busting Burnout: How Self Care Programs Support Nurse Well-Being, Lenard Fernandez, Marguerite Loughrey, Andrea Cooley, Ashley Dilimone, Mariah Luce, Gabriella Rindell

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

Nurses working in acute care suffer from high levels of stress, burnout and turnover. Our question: For acute care nurses, what is the effect of self-care program versus no program on moral resilience? A literature review was conducted and results showed that when education on group-based wellness practices was provided, there was increased job satisfaction, moral resilience, and problem solving ability. There were decreases in feelings of burnout, and improved work/life balance. Some studies demonstrated an increase in patient satisfaction. Within Rochester Regional Health, it may not be too difficult to implement group based programs and coaching services.

12-Hour Shifts: Heaven Or Hell?, Amy Bontrager, Mary Caprio, Lakysha Grant, Seth Kibler, Savanah Wirth, Sarah Reynolds

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

In many hospital settings, the 12-hour shift is the standard. While it may be better for continuity of patient care, many studies have looked at the effect it has on nurses as well as patient safety. This project identified themes in the literature and while it couldn’t see a precise path forward, flexible scheduling may be looming just over the horizon.

Nurse Navigation Supports Implementation Of Guideline Based Care, Michelle Ferguson, Uzma Iqbal, Alyssa Pino

Nursing Research and EBP Day 2024

The European Society of Cardiology has developed guidelines aimed at identifying and mitigating risk for cardio-oncology events in oncology patients. Cardiovascular risk factors, cancer type and therapeutic regimen present unique treatment considerations requiring individualized risk assessment. Use of a nurse navigator to initiate triage with pre-visit testing and to coordinate care with the provider ensures patients receive timely treatment.
