Abstract:
The overall aim of this study was to explore the reciprocal impact of health policy on public health nursing and public health nursing on policy. This study uses a new approach to considering public health nurses’ engagement in policy: one which puts public health nurses, as actors in the policy process, at the centre of the investigation. The overall philosophical lens through which the research was conducted was critical social theory and the methodology was a grounded theory influenced research design.

Abstract:
Nurses are frequently seen in public in their “scrubs,” which could mean that contaminated clothing is being brought into the community, thereby posing an infection risk. The purpose of this study is to investigate if and which contaminants are present on the fabrics and the actions nurses are taking to eliminate contamination risks. Eleven scrub tops were worn on hospital units over one twelve-hour shift. The contaminated scrubs and three control tops were then swabbed and used to inoculate agar plates. After incubation, colonies were counted, streaked onto nutrient and Mannitol-salt agar for

Abstract:
From 1889 to 1934, Florida’s nurses belonging to a new group of professional women ushered in a pioneering phase of public health nursing in Florida. During this era, the nurses’ ability to confront health and professional issues varied a great deal but in quiet and forceful ways they tackled cultural and environmental problems to assist people who were ill or help prevent people from becoming ill.

Abstract:
<p> African-American girls experience disparate rates of pregnancy and acquisition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), when compared to their non-Hispanic, white counterparts. Among African-American girls, current pregnancy rates are equal to the national crisis levels of teen pregnancy reported in 1990 (Guttmacher Institute, 2013; National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Campaign, 2015). This qualitative elicitation study was conducted to gain insight into the ways in which African-American mothers and their daughters between the ages of 9 and 14

Abstract:
<p> Chronic disease is costly and requires a different approach to care than acute illness. Preventing chronic disease may improve health outcomes. This qualitative, explanatory case study explains the experiences of eight participants, from a suburban internal medicine practice in Fairfield County, CT, who used activity trackers/applications to adhere to diet and exercise. Daily email logs, information from the activity tracker/application and an exit interview provided detailed information about the participant used technology and what was most important to maintain lifestyle changes.

Abstract:
In today's competitive home health industry, productivity has become a major concern, and establishing productivity expectations is necessary for survival. Productivity can be described as a relationship between the outputs produced by an organization and the inputs provided to create the outputs. This means that the outputs consist of the number of home visits performed and the inputs consist of the time, supplies, mileage, and administrative support necessary for producing home visits. In order to have a complete understanding of productivity, one must understand the importance of examining

Abstract:
The study was designed to answer questions about the amount of professional time required to manage the referrals made to the Ottawa-Carleton Health Department for public health nursing service to individuals and families. The basic assumption of the study was that variation in referral management time would be shown to be the product of both client-centred and provider-centred factors. The study design was both descriptive and exploratory in nature. The study population consisted of 1143 clients referred for public health nursing service during the latter months of 1987.

Abstract:
<p> In response to the increased demand for primary care in the United States&mdash;a byproduct of a growing elderly population and insurance expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)&mdash;the total number and capacities of community health centers (HCs) is expected to grow. While HCs have historically depended on physicians to deliver the majority of their care, more and more, they are shifting to non-physician clinicians, especially nurse practitioners (NPs); yet, little is known about the quality of care delivered by NPs in HCs or about the role state occupational restrictions have on

Abstract:
After the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, public health garnered more attention. This event forced public health nurses to acquire new roles needed to respond to disasters. The purpose of this project was to synthesize the current evidence related to the role of nurses during disaster preparedness and apply that evidence to public health nurses. The practice question focused on the role of nurses during disasters which were not a part of their normal daily activity. The Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Stillwell, and Williamson hierarchy for grading evidence was the theoretical framework used
