Abstract:
Background and objective: Caring for a growing aging population presents a challenge in contemporary health care. This study aims to identify factors associated with nursing student’s career choice in older adult care and predictors of attitudes toward older adults. Such information is critical to inform effective gerontological nursing education.Methods: Undergraduate nursing students (N = 411) from three nursing schools in California participated in a cross-sectional, web-based survey.Results: In covariate-adjusted analyses, students who had prior experiences taking gerontology-related courses, working with older adults, living with older adults, being confident in providing older adults care, and having lower negative attitudes toward older adults were more likely to consider a future career in gerontological nursing. Students’ confidence in older adult care was negatively correlated with negative attitudes towards older adults.Conclusions: To increase students’ career choice in gerontology, nursing schools should provide more gerontology content in nursing curricula and explore avenues to increase student confidence in older adult care.

Abstract:
There are many negative consequences of childhood sexual abuse, (Browne Finkelhor, 1990). These effects do not vanish with adulthood and some adults stay scarred for life. However, it has been noted that some victims of childhood sexual abuse recover better than others regardless of the particular type of abuse. Could this adaptation be related to, or represent "hardiness" of the adult? The purpose of this report is to explore the hardiness of adult victims of child sexual abuse and the adaptation strategies practiced. To achieve this goal, The Health Related Hardiness Scale, created by Susan Pollock, PhD. was adopted. Data was collected from fifteen adult females who, by their own definition were sexually abused as children. They completed the HRHS questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire. Data analysis revealed a significant p-value of 0.0002 indicating that support is an important component to "buffer" the negative effects of stress. However this study revealed a high level of hardiness overall in the participating individuals

Abstract:
The United States has experienced historically low graduation rates in public and private 2-year, degree-granting institutions. Many of these institutions are community colleges, which account for 60% of all student enrollment. This study was conducted to explore supports and services that may be helpful to working adult students over the age of 25 enrolled in a 2-year associate degree nursing program in a community college. Tinto's interactionalist theory of student persistence and retention and constructivist theory were the conceptual frameworks for this qualitative case study. The two guiding questions were focused on the types of support that would be helpful for degree completion and service improvements that would most effectively assist students to graduate. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and observations with 10 participants who volunteered from a bound system. Requirement for participation included being over the age of 25 and enrolled in the 2-year associate degree nursing program. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological reduction process and cross-sectional analysis to identify convergent and divergent themes in the data. The findings of this study highlight 5 overarching themes as described by the participants: support system, barriers to education, effect of work, engagement in school services, and recommendations for college improvement. The findings of this study could be helpful to administrators and policy makers in developing supports and services that promote retention and degree completion of students in the 2-year associate degree nursing programs. Completion of a 2-year associate-degree nursing program promotes financial viability and meets the workforce needs of the community.

Abstract:
The rate of obesity in American adults has increased dramatically over the last decade. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions and demands attention to reverse the current trend. This project was developed to evaluate a quality improvement initiative implemented in 2016 to address the problem of obesity in a rural southeastern primary care clinic setting where underserved populations are treated. The quality improvement (QI) initiative was developed using the plan-do-act-check model and the evaluation of the initiative was the focus of the current project. The project question asked if a quality improvement initiative for weight loss monitoring and counseling could improve health outcomes for a rural clinic setting. The project examined the impact of the initiative's outcomes of weight and body mass index (BMI) and lipid profiles. Deidentified data from 10 patients who were treated in the clinic during a 3-month time period before the QI initiative was implemented and 10 patient records during the 3 months after the QI initiative was in place for 3 months were obtained from the clinical site and were entered into SPSS for analysis. Results of an analysis of variance demonstrated that after the QI initiative was in place, BMI improved (p < .001) in the 3- month post intervention period compared to the pre-intervention levels. Similarly, total cholesterol levels (p <.001) were decreased post intervention. LDL cholesterol did not show a significant difference at the 3-month post-intervention stage although HDL cholesterol improved. Results demonstrate that a QI initiative that addresses weight loss in a rural clinical setting can improve health outcomes and promote positive social change in a rural underserved community.

Abstract:
Falls and falls with injury are a leading contributor to decreased quality of life for adults aged 65 and older. Complications associated with fall occurrences include death, long term disability, decreased mobility, decreased quality of life, and psychological effects. The practice focused question addressed in the project asked if the use of a standardized publicly available assessment for falls risk will assist registered nurses in learning more about the patient's fall risk. To address the question, the Stay Independent Check Your Risk for Falling Questionnaire (SICRFQ), obtained from the CDC website, was used as the basis for an education program for nurses to evaluate patient risks for falls. The theory of planned behavior guided the project which resulted in nurses gaining increased knowledge of falls risk assessment using the SICRFQ instrument. Findings from this staff education project indicated that 85% (n=29) of from a general practice unit registered nurses participating in the project reported that the education and the SICRFQ instrument would assist them in engaging and educating patients and families on fall risk avoidance; and 97% (n=33) indicated they would use the instrument for assessing patients. Use of the SICRFQ instrument will assist registered nurses in improving patient safety through accurate assessment of falls risk and potentially decrease falls in their unit thus promoting positive social change.

Abstract:
In the Irish healthcare system ward staffing is not matched with client acuity. With the recession came a moratorium on staffing and this combined with reduced length of stay for clients impacted significantly on nursing staff. Added to this a large number of front-line staff took early retirement leading to burnout of existing staff. Clear guidelines have been laid down by HIQA (2012a, 2012b) on the appropriate governance structure to ensure that client care is delivered safely and is of a high quality. The environment where nursing students undertake their clinical placement can have a positive or negative effect on them depending on the ratio of staff nurses to clients. The undergraduate nursing degree programme has been in place in Ireland since 2002. Nursing students register their qualifications with Bord Altranais agus Cnáimhseachais na hÉireann (Nursing and Midwifery Board, Ireland) upon successful completion of the programme. Nursing students are supported and facilitated on clinical placement by a qualified staff nurse named a preceptor. The term “preceptor” is the term used in Ireland to refer to a registered nurse who supports, guides and assesses nursing students on practice placement; the terms “mentor”, “practice placement supervisor” and “clinical supervisor” are also used in the literature to refer to the same role (Mead, 2012). For the purposes of this study the term “preceptor” will be used throughout this document. The quality of the nursing programme depends on the experience and level of supervision the nursing students receive in the clinical learning environment. This qualitative study explored current standards of the preceptorship model of nursing, to determine how preceptors perceive their role and the values preceptees place on the level of support they receive from preceptors during their clinical placements. I also needed to determine the level of support and training preceptors received from lecturers in higher education and management in the teaching hospital. The theoretical frameworks I used in the study were the Legitimate Peripheral Participation Theory (Lave and Wenger, 1991), which describes how newcomers become experienced members and eventually old-timers of a community of practice, and Social Learning Theory (Bandura, 1977), which proposes that learning takes place as a result of social interaction with other staff, including preceptors, through both verbal and non-verbal language. The literature implied that the role of the preceptor is stressful and the training inadequate (Haggerty et al., 2012; Eley, 2010; McCarthy and Murphy, 2010). This study set out to explore the tripartite relationship between preceptors, nursing students and lecturers. Using a qualitative approach, I conducted 24 semi-structured interviews with nursing students (n=8), preceptors (n=8) and lecturers (n=8). The study findings suggested that the preceptor’s role is difficult owing to time constraints, ward acuity and lack of resources. Part of the remit of a nurse working on a ward necessitates working different shifts and preceptors identified that it can be difficult to match the duty of a staff nurse with that of a nursing student. Preceptors found it challenging to give enough quality time to the students. Client care is always a priority with staff nurses, and must come first; the time they can spend with nursing students therefore tended to be ad hoc in nature. According to the preceptors they need on-going support from management of the hospital and lecturers in higher education. Those interviewed suggested they loved their role but felt they could not give enough quality time to the students. They would like more support from clinical placement coordinators (CPCs), from lecturers in higher education, and from management of the hospital. The preceptors also suggested that the training they receive needs to be more comprehensive, and to include more refreshers on curricula, teaching and assessing nursing students and providing feedback. The nursing students valued the time they spent with their preceptor, but this was sometimes limited owing to resources, ward acuity and working different shifts. They latched on to any available nurse when their preceptor was busy elsewhere or off duty. Overall, they would much prefer to have their named preceptor with them for support and guidance and because the preceptor was their assessor for their final interview on the clinical placement. The lecturers acknowledged the wonderful work the preceptors do in facilitating the nursing students in the clinical area. They believed that the preceptors should be given more support in the form of refreshers and “protected time” to precept the students. The lecturers would like to be more visible in the clinical area, but because of their teaching, research and administrative role their time is limited to quick visits to the ward. Some lecturers acknowledged that to remain current it is important for them to spend more time in the clinical area. Preceptors, employed by health care institutions, undertake the responsibility of supporting nursing students without protected time or remuneration. The nursing students are also supported by clinical placement co-ordinators (CPCs) on a 1 : 30 ratio. CPCs are employed by health care institutions to co-ordinate clinical placements. They assist with teaching and learning of students but do not formally assess them. They were not included in this study as there were insufficient numbers to match the sample size. To conclude, if there is insufficient time to precept nursing this can be a lost learning opportunity for the students. The nursing students miss the direct support and feedback from their preceptor and their learning is limited. They can finish their clinical placement not having reached their potential and maximised their learning. Despite the current climate of austerity there is a need to retain our highly qualified and capable nursing workforce.

Abstract:
Currently, C Hospital lacks a standardized nursing informatics competency program to validate nurses' skills and knowledge in using electronic medical records (EMRs). At the study locale, the organization is about to embark on the implementation of a new, more comprehensive EMR system. All departments will be required to use the new EMR, unlike the current policy that allows some areas to still document on paper. The Institute of Medicine, National League of Nursing, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing support and recommend that information technology be an essential core competency for nurses. Evidence of the need for nursing informatic competencies was found through a literature search using CINHAL, Proquest Nursing, Medline, and Pubmed search lines. Concepts searched were competencies, nursing informatics, health information technology, electronic health record, information technology literacy, nursing education, information technology training, and curriculum. The Staggers Nursing Computer Experience Questionnaire was distributed to 300 nurses practicing within the hospital setting to obtain baseline data on current nursing computer knowledge and skill level. This validated tool was created by Nancy Staggers in 1994 and used in other process improvement efforts similar to this one. The assumption was that nursing competency levels with computers were varied through the hospital. The data obtained from the questionnaire, through Zoho Survey tool, confirmed this assumption and were used to help create the education, support, and competency plan for the future. Data was analyzed through the built-in reports and interactive charts that the Zoho survey tool provides. The new EMR and all the new processes that come with it will be the framework of nursing care. Having competent nurses in the use of the EMR will optimize the quality of patient care delivered.

Abstract:
Delirium is an acute change in cognition accompanied by inattention, which affects up to 88% of adult critical care patients. Delirium causes increased hospital complications, longer lengths of hospital stay, functional disability, cognitive impairment, and increased mortality. The purpose of this evidence-based quality-improvement project was to implement and evaluate a delirium screening process in adult intensive care units at a large medical center. This included education of nurses, implementation of a structured, validated tool, and review of tool use documentation. The implementation of this project was guided by an evidence-based practice model, Disciplined Clinical Inquiry© and Lewin's change theory. Evaluation of this quality-improvement project used audits of the electronic medical record. The audits included the presence and accuracy of delirium screening documentation in the patients' medical records. Results of 3 sequential documentation audits revealed a gradual adoption of this practice change by nurse clinicians. The percentage of charts with missing, incomplete, or inaccurate data decreased from 50% on the first week to 27.9% and 25.0% on the 2nd and 3rd weeks, respectively. These findings were an indication of practice change by validating the requirement for delirium screening on the units. In the first 3 weeks alone, 17 patient audits were positive for delirium, indicating the potential for poor short-term and long-term patient outcomes if not addressed promptly. Implementation of delirium screening ensures the dignity and worth of adult critical care patients by decreasing the poor outcomes associated with the diagnosis, which is an important contribution to positive social change.

Abstract:
The current nursing shortage is a pressing crisis that is expected to worsen over time. A key reason nurses leave nursing is burnout. The purpose of this study was to investigate personality hardiness and adult attachment style in relation to the development of burnout in licensed professional nurses. Hardiness theory and attachment theory indicated that each provided protection against burnout, but no research has been conducted to examine both factors in relation to burnout in nurses. Research Question 1 asked if there was a relationship between attachment style and total hardiness score; Research Question 2 asked if there was a relationship between attachment style and each of the hardiness facet scores (commitment, control, and challenge), and Research Question 3 asked if hardiness and attachment style had a combined impact on burnout scores. An online invitation was published on Facebook and linked to the study; 128 nurses agreed to participate in this survey. Participants provided demographic information, they completed the Dispositional Resilience Scale-Revised (DRS-15) to measure total hardiness and hardiness facet scores, the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) to measure attachment-related anxiety and avoidance, and the Burnout Measure, Short Version (BMS) to measure burnout. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), a Kruskal-Wallis H test, and a post-hoc multiple regression. Findings confirmed that secure attachment was associated with higher total hardiness, commitment was significant to attachment, and hardiness and attachment scores each contributed to burnout, but an interaction was not found. This study has implications for positive social change: more effective burnout prevention programs for nurses are needed to help limit the nursing shortage.

Abstract:
In ever changing social and political cultures, it is important that nurses are able to work together and support each other in upholding the core values which are important to the profession. Different forms of collective organizations are available for nurses, including professional organizations and trade unions. Despite notional and philosophical differences, workplace practices of the representative organizations tend to be similar, and nurses can accrue particular benefits from membership of a collective. Local organizing strength is often the best predictor of which organization nurses will join, and ultimately collective strength requires mass membership. Professional bodies and trade unions are involved in substantial efforts to maintain strong representation of nurses, and an ultimate goal is the democratization of healthcare workplaces.

Abstract:
Healthcare delivery has been transformed over the past decades with a rapid expansion in the demand for care driven by demographic changes, technological innovation, and increasing consumer expectations. This transformation has in turn had a profound impact on the roles of health professionals in general and nurses in particular. The number of patients with multiple pathologies and complex long-term nursing care needs has also escalated, with pressure for rapid throughput in acute hospital care settings resulting in shorter lengths of stay and greater emphasis on care in the community. To meet growing demand, boundaries between the roles of health professional have blurred, with nurses now undertaking activities previously performed by doctors, and unqualified staff undertaking activities previously performed by registered nurses. These changes are all taking place in the context of economic turbulence. The shift of nursing to an all-graduate profession reflects the recognition that the future role of a registered nurse will carry greater responsibility and autonomy than ever before. The expectations of every student and qualified nurse must therefore also change in relation to the knowledge and skills that they need to deliver expert nursing interventions and clinical leadership. The next generation of nurses will increasingly lead and coordinate the care of a range of patients and clients, supervising and supporting unqualified or lay carers and referring patients to other health professionals when appropriate. As one of this new generation of qualified nurses, it is important that you are able to demonstrate expertise in the fundamentals of nursing practice. You must be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to enable you to:…● understand the common health conditions that can affect adults; ● understand the pathophysiology of these common health conditions, and the physical and psychosocial needs and problems that result from them; ● recognize your key role in managing the problems and challenges that patients face; ● ensure that your nursing interventions are evidence-based; ● demonstrate competent assessment skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to make informed clinical nursing decisions in collaboration with the patient and other team members; ● adopt an enquiring and questioning approach, and be confident in accessing and interpreting evidence to inform your choice of nursing interventions….

Abstract:
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) and depression are important comorbid conditions that can lead to more serious health outcomes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) supports routine screening for depression as part of standard diabetes management. The PHQ2 and PHQ9 questionnaires are good diagnostic screening tools used for major depressive disorders in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This quality improvement study aims to compare the rate of depression screening, treatment, and referral to behavioral health in adult patients with DM2 pre and post-integration of depression screening tools into the electronic health record (EHR). Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review on patients aged 18 years and above with a diagnosis of DM2 and no initial diagnosis of depression or other mental illnesses. Chart reviews included those from 2018 or prior for before integration data and 2020 to present for after integration. Sixty subjects were randomly selected from a pool of 33,695 patients in the clinic with DM2 from the year 2013-2021. Thirty of the patients were prior to the integration of depression screening tools PHQ2 and PHQ9 into the EHR, while the other half were post-integration. The study population ranged from 18-83 years old. Results All subjects (100%) were screened using PHQ2 before integration and after integration. Twenty percent of patients screened had a positive PHQ2 among subjects before integration, while 10% had a positive PHQ2 after integration. Twenty percent of patients were screened with a PHQ9 pre-integration which accounted for 100% of those subjects with a positive PHQ2. However, of the 10% of patients with a positive PHQ2 post-integration, only 6.7 % of subjects were screened, which means not all patients with a positive PHQ2 were adequately screened post-integration. Interestingly, 10% of patients were treated with antidepressants before integration, while none were treated with medications in the post-integration group. There were no referrals made to the behavior team in either group. Conclusion There is no difference between the prevalence of depression screening before or after integration of depression screening tools in the EHR. The study noted that there is a decrease in the treatment using antidepressants after integration. However, other undetermined conditions could have influenced this. Furthermore, not all patients with positive PHQ2 in the after-integration group were screened with PHQ9. The authors are unsure if the integration of the depression screens influenced this change. In both groups, there is no difference between referrals to the behavior team. Implications to Nursing Practice This quality improvement study shows that providers are good at screening their DM2 patients for depression whether the screening tools were incorporated in the EHR or not. However, future studies regarding providers, support staff, and patient convenience relating to accessibility and availability of the tool should be made. Additional issues to consider are documentation reliability, hours of work to scan documents in the chart, risk of documentation getting lost, and the use of paper that requires shredding to comply with privacy.
