Abstract:

In the realm of higher education, retention is a concept vital to the progression and security of all institutions. This remains true for all nursing programs as well because reports have shown an attrition rate as high as 50% in some nursing programs across the globe. Along with the nursing shortage projected in the next 20 years, retention in nursing programs poses a massive problem for not just higher education but healthcare as well. Therefore, it is important for nursing educators to understand the factors affecting student completion of a nursing program. This two-phase, mixed-methods st

Abstract:

The high demand for health care workers, excellent pay/benefits, and job security has created a public interest in health care professions that has educational institutions overwhelmed by applicants seeking entrance to training programs. Many of these applicants have given little thought to what they must possess academically and attitudinally to successfully complete such training. Efforts to identify academic and attitudinal attributes predictive of academic success have long been a goal of educators. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to, first, determine if either the Tests of Adul

Abstract:

Nursing programs have traditionally used teacher-developed multiple-choice (MCQ) examinations to prepare students for licensure. Researchers have determined that poorly constructed MCQ tests used as formative and summative evaluations may penalize nursing students and impact progression and retention in nursing programs. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine issues related to the use of teacher-developed MCQ examinations as the only method of student assessment in the theory component of nursing courses.

Nurses are expected to perform evidence-based practice (EBP) at the point of care (POC) to promote positive outcomes through the quality and safety of patient care. The struggle for nurses on the surgical digestive unit in a hospital to adopt EBP is the lack of access and knowledge to evidence-based research at the POC. The utilization of information technology is an innovated approach to providing access and knowledge for EBP at the POC to improve patient outcomes.

Background: To date, little attention has focused on what the factors are and how Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) are sustained in acute care over time. Problem: For ten years, a multi-site acute care center supported the use of a Pain Assessment and Management Policy and Protocol (Pain P/P), placing the decision to use it with point of care nurses. Despite early implementation success, the nursing department identified an evidence-based gap on Medicine care units. Purpose: To (i) identify factors influencing nurses’ use (or not) of the Pain P/P over time, and ten years post-implementa

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This mixed-methods research examined student nurse retention methods perceived as best practice by directors and coordinators in selected Associate Degree Nursing (AND) programs within the Florida Community College System (FCCS). A critical nursing shortage is expected to worsen over the next twenty years due to the aging workforce and the inadequate supply of qualified nurse graduates. The Associate degree nursing programs supply the majority of nursing graduates to the workforce. Thus, the associate degree nursing programs and student retention measures were studied. The research wa

Abstract:

There is a growing body of evidence on the positive association between diabetes and tuberculosis (TB), especially in populations with low socioeconomic status. According to the CDC and the WHO, diabetes is increasingly seen as a global epidemic, one that poses a threat to global TB control. The goal of this DNP project was to develop a program to educate clinical staff on the importance of early identification of diabetic and TB patients. The logic model was chosen as the framework for this project because it allows the planner to rationally observe each stage of a project's development. The

Abstract:

This thesis offers an original contribution to knowledge through providing a rigorous longitudinal examination of a complex intervention known as the ‘Leadership in Compassionate Care Programme' (LCC) which was designed to embed compassionate care within local NHS practice in a large Health Board in Scotland. To date there has been little research into the impact of dedicated programmes aimed at enhancing compassionate care on an organisational basis. Through the use of Pawson and Tilley's (1997) realistic evaluation framework this study takes the form of a critical exploration of what did and

Thesis (MCurr)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The support for portfolio-based learning as an authentic assessment method is increasing globally. However, there are no guidelines in South Africa for a clinical practice assessment portfolio (CPAP) for primary clinical practitioner training. The study set out to develop a CPAP for the Clinical Nursing Science, Health Assessment Treatment and Care programme. An exploratory, descriptive design was used that developed over three phases. In phase one, a CPAP was developed based on an extensive review of the literature. The CPAP

Abstract:

<p> Healing touch is a holistic healing modality, grounded in nursing theory and process used to facilitate relaxation and self- healing through the practitioner’s heart centered care and use of their hands to balance the patient’s energy fields. It is not a widely implemented practice by nurses; less than one percent of the nurses in the United States are certified practitioners. This study was performed in an attempt to learn why more nurses are not informed about the practice, to educate nurses about the evidence supporting HT and to identify the barriers to practice.</p><p> T

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: While transitions of care (TOC) programs are known to decrease readmissions for heart failure (HF), significant policy and resource challenges inhibit the implementation of hospital based TOC programs, thus novel models of TOC are urgently needed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the need and readiness of a private practice based TOC program led by DNP-prepared nurse practitioners. METHODS: In this descriptive study, cardiology providers from a private practice in the Southwest (N=14) participated in a survey on HF TOC. The practice’s electronic medical records (EMR) da
