Abstract:
The frontline nurses’ experience of nursing with overstretched resources in acute care setting can affect their health and well-being. Little is known about the experience of registered nurses faced with the care of a patient outside their area of expertise. The aim of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of nursing the outlier patient, when patients are nursed in a ward that is not specifically developed to deal with the major clinical diagnosis involved (e.g., renal patient in gynecology ward). Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, eleven individual face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with registered nurses in New South Wales, Australia. The study identified that each nurse had a specialty construct developed from nursing in a specialized environment. Each nurse had normalized the experience of specialty nursing and had developed a way of thinking and practicing theorized as a “care ladder”. By grouping and analyzing various “care ladders” together, the nursing capacities common to nurses formed the phenomenological orientation, namely “the composite care ladder”. Compared to nursing specialty-appropriate patients, nursing the outlier patient caused disruption of the care ladder, with some nurses becoming less capable as they were nursing the outlier patient. Nursing the outlier patient disrupted the nurses’ normalized constructs of nursing. This study suggests that nursing patients in specialty-appropriate wards will improve patient outcomes and reduce impacts on the nurses’ morale.

Abstract:
Background: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of computer-assisted instructions on the knowledge gain of the staff nurses on renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients. Methods: An experimental design was chosen with pre-test and post-test of the experimental and control group. The sample comprised 60 registered staff nurses divided into two groups - 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. The tools used for conducting the study included demographic variables, and self-structured questionnaire to assess knowledge of experimental and control group. The experimental group was given computer-assisted instructions as an intervention and the control group was used only for comparison. The data was analysed with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The study clearly shows that there was a significant gain in the knowledge of staff nurses in experimental group with computer-assisted instructions regarding renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients.Conclusion: The staff nurses can be benefited by computer-assisted instructions to improve their knowledge and practice on renal dialysis for chronic renal failure patients and they can practice these interventions in clinical area in the future.

Abstract:
Aim: A key role of renal nurses is the correct and safe administration of immunosuppressive drug therapy (ImmRx) to kidney transplant recipients. The authors sought to examine the knowledge and competency of ImmRx in kidney transplant patients and whether an annual kidney transplant nurse education programme had any beneficial effects. Methods: The study population was comprised of 63.2% (n=50/79) of all nurses from renal wards (ward A (n=17/35), ward B (n=21/32)) and 12 nurses from a high-dependency urology ward (ward C (n=12)). Kidney transplant patients usually receive inpatient care in wards A, B or C only as these wards specialise in urology and renal care. Each nurse completed a 35-question test that covered ImmRx in areas of indication, identification, interaction, pharmcokinetics/pharmacodynamics, therapeutic drug monitoring, administration and adverse effects. A minimum score of 70% was required to pass the test. Results: Only 46% of participants passed the test. The proportion of nurses who passed was not significantly different with respect to years of nursing experience, professional rank, postgraduate nursing qualifications or ward location. Unexpectedly, a greater proportion of nurses who did not attend the education programme passed the test (63.6%; n=14/22) than those who did attend it (32.1%; n=9/28]; p=0.03). Notably, 24% (n=12/50), 4% (n=2/50) and 4% (n=2/50) were unable to correctly answer any of the identification, interaction and therapeutic drug monitoring questions. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the nurses' understanding and knowledge of ImmRx is insufficient and they need to update their knowledge on ImmRx continually.

Abstract:
Background: Renal stone disease is a considerable burden on public health worldwide. This study aimed to assess the nurse’s knowledge regarding renal stone among the nurses working at a selected specialized hospital.Methods: A total of 120 samples were collected through purposive sampling technique. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted under quantitative approach. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face to face interview. A written informed consent was obtained from the hospital authority and nurses. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.Results: In this study ninety percent of the respondents were female and about 43.3% of the respondents were in the age group 31-35 years. About 35.8% of the respondents had postgraduate qualification and the majority (63.3%) of the respondents had 4 years and above years of service experience. More than nine-tenths (95.8%) of the respondents mentioned that renal stone is one kind of urological disease and 75.8% of the respondents mentioned that calcium oxalate is responsible elements for formation of renal stone. About 63.3% of them mentioned pain or burning during urination as the symptoms of renal stone. 66.7% of the respondents mentioned that a patient with renal stone should be counseled on stone-specific dietary interventions.Conclusions: The findings reveal that most of the study participants had good level of knowledge regarding the renal stone. It was recommended that a special training on renal stone for nurses might be geared up to increase their level of knowledge.

Abstract:
Background: Nursing presence is an essential nurse caring behavior of being with the patient. This is particularly true for those with chronic renal disease and who regularly undergo maintenance hemodialysis treatment in the hospital setting. When nursing presence is perceived by patients in a nurse-patient relationship, it is more likely to result in enhanced satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. Thus, it is important for hemodialysis nurses to be aware of the relevance of nurse-patient interactions in planned care considering that these interactions are integral to the extent to which nursing presence is experienced and perceived by patients.Objective: This study aims to determine the hemodialysis nurses’ extent of nursing presence as perceived by patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment in two hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines.Methods: Utilizing the descriptive research design, the study was conducted in two hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines. A total of 121 hemodialysis patients were purposely selected to determine their perception as to the extent of hemodialysis nurse’s nursing presence utilizing the 25-item Presence of Nursing Scale (PONS) instrument. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.Result: The overall rating by the hemodialysis patients in both hospitals was “always" on the hemodialysis nurses’ extent of nursing presence with an average mean score of 4.47 in all 25 items of the PONS. The highest rated item which reflects that the nurse cares for the patient as a person had an average mean score of 4.63 (always) while the lowest rated item indicating that the nurse is meeting the spiritual needs of the patient had an average mean score of 4.23 (always).Conclusion: The nurse-patient relationship is enhanced by the presence of nurses who are more responsive and interactive with the patients, resulting in patients who are more satisfied with nursing care. Thus, it is suggested that nurses in dealing with patients of varying backgrounds should consider their unique needs when giving information, explanations, health education and nursing care.

Abstract:
People living with end stage kidney disease require dialysis or kidney transplantation to maintain life. Of those receiving dialysis in Australia, most people receive this treatment in satellite haemodialysis centres that are nurse-run, community-based clinics. Nurses provide the majority of care in these clinics with little or no on-site medical support, yet there has been minimal research exploring nursing care, or perceptions of nurses, in the satellite haemodialysis context. The major aim of this study was to explore satellite dialysis nurses’ perceptions of quality care. Fundamental to this aim was the premise that to improve nursing care, nurses need to understand the factors influencing satellite dialysis nursing care. A critical ethnography exploring the culture of one satellite haemodialysis clinic, focusing on the nurse’s perception of quality was undertaken, with a focus on issues of power that influenced satellite dialysis nursing care. Over a period of twelve months, interviews with nurses, non-participant observation and document analysis were conducted. Of particular concern was the satellite dialysis nurses’ struggle with the dominant medical discourse of quantitative measurement of quality. Bourdieu’s notions of habitus, field and practice provided a vehicle to explore nurses’ dispositions that operated within the institutional conditions of the medicalised discourse and physical structure of the satellite dialysis environment. Findings about nurses’ perceptions of quality dialysis care were categorised into three broad themes: what is quality; what is not quality; and what affects quality. Nurses considered technical knowledge, technical skills and personal respect as characteristics of quality. Long-term blood pressure management and arranging transport for people receiving dialysis treatment were not seen to be quality priorities. The person receiving dialysis treatment, management, nurse and environment were considered major factors influencing and determining quality dialysis nursing care. Acceptance by nurses about their position and their reluctance to challenge medical power was revealed. Aspects of power and oppression operated for nurses and people receiving dialysis treatment within the satellite dialysis context, and this environment was perceived by the nurses as very different from hospital dialysis units. Bourdieu’s notions of habitus and subconscious reproduced practices were embedded in the satellite dialysis nurses’ behaviour and were conveyed to other nurses. In order to improve nursing care in this context, ten recommendations were proposed: 1) implementing a concordance nursing care model; 2) using a goal-setting framework; 3) increasing staff rotation between dialysis units; 4) improving satellite dialysis unit design; 5) educating satellite dialysis nurses in internet and database skills; 6) using new technologies in staff education programmes; 7) recognising increased patient acuity; 8) research exploring residential dialysis facilities; 9) introducing advanced practice nurses in a satellite collaborative model of care; and 10) requiring a structured programme of reflective practice. Facilitating change in dialysis nursing practice was fundamental to this study and consistent with a critical approach. New understandings for the nurses may not result in practice change however, unless there is a collective review and uptake of these practices. This study offers new knowledge about quality nursing in satellite haemodialysis units, enabling nurses to critically reflect on, and improve, the quality of care they provide.

Abstract:
Haemodialysis nurses provide health care for people with end stage kidney disease leading to a unique, intense and complex interaction between nurses and patients. This study involved the development of a model which explains the relationships between the work environment, job satisfaction, stress and burnout of haemodialysis nurses in Australia and New Zealand. Results from this study identified that haemodialysis nurses, while being satisfied by their jobs, were also experiencing high levels of burnout. This study's novel contribution could lead to improving the retention of the nursing workforce which is crucial due to the growing global burden of chronic disease.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a complex disorder, in which the kidneys suddenly fail to concentrate urine, maintain electrolytes, and keep fluid balance. Objective: To evaluate nurses’ knowledge regarding the early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in an intensive care unit (ICU), inpatient care unit, and emergency unit. Methods: This is a multicenter, prospective, questionnaire-based study. The study population included 216 nurses from five health care facilities who work in the ICU, inpatient care unit, or emergency unit. Data collection was performed between October 2010 and February 2011 using a survey with 10 questions related to prevention and diagnosis of AKI. Results: Among the nurses who replied, 81.7% gave correct answers regarding the importance of oliguria in the identification of AKI; 57.2% did not correctly identify the clinical manifestations of AKI; 54.6% did not know the correct incidence of AKI in patients admitted to the ICU; 87.0% did not know the mortality rate of ICU patients with AKI; 67.1% incorrectly answered that a small increase in serum creatinine did not have a great impact on mortality rate; 66.8% incorrectly answered the question on measures to prevent AKI; 60.4% correctly replied that the use of loop diuretics is not recommended for prevention of AKI; 77.6% correctly responded that the need for hemodialysis does not necessarily characterize AKI; and 92.4% said they had no knowledge of the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) classification. Conclusion: The results showed that the knowledge of nurses regarding the early identification of AKI is generally poor. This study highlights the need to develop training programs for nurses to improve professional competence and aptitude in the prevention and detection of AKI.
Introdução: Injúria renal aguda, desordem complexa que se caracteriza por súbita perda da capacidade dos rins de concentrar a urina, conservar eletrólitos e manter o equilíbrio de fluidos. Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento do enfermeiro na identificação precoce da injúria renal aguda em Terapia Intensiva, Unidade de Internação e Emergência. Método: Trata-se de um estudo multicêntrico, quantitativo e prospectivo. Participaram do estudo 216 enfermeiros que atuam em unidades de terapia intensiva, internação e emergência, de cinco hospitais do estado de São Paulo e um do Rio de Janeiro. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre os meses de outubro/2010 a fevereiro/2011, por meio de questionário composto de dez questões relacionadas à prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento da IRA. Resultados: Os dados apontaram que 81,7% dos enfermeiros responderam corretamente sobre a relação do volume urinário na identificação da IRA, 57,2% não souberam identificar as manifestações clínicas da IRA, 54,6% não souberam responder corretamente a incidência de IRA em pacientes internados em unidade de terapia intensiva, 87,0% não souberam responder o índice de mortalidade em pacientes internados em unidade de terapia intensiva, 67,1% erraram ao responderem que o aumento discreto da creatinina não tem grande impacto na mortalidade, 66,8% responderam incorretamente a questão sobre as medidas de prevenção da IRA, 60,4% acertaram quando responderam que não é recomendada a utilização de diuréticos de alça na prevenção da IRA, 77,6% responderam corretamente que IRA não caracteriza necessidade de hemodiálise e 92,4% disseram não ter conhecimento da classificação AKIN. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos enfermeiros não tem conhecimento suficiente para a identificação precoce da IRA, o que indica a importância de programas de capacitação para enfermeiros que atuam em unidades hospitalares, com a finalidade de desenvolver competências e habilidades para prevenção e detecção da IRA.

Abstract:
The aim of this study sets out to better understand nephrology nurses’ lived experiences of dying and deaths of patients with ESKD following withdrawal of dialysis. A qualitative research design using an interpretative phenomenological approach was used to explore the experiences of a purposive heterogeneous sample of eight nephrology nurses who were working in private dialysis units. Information was gathered by phenomenological conversations and feed-back sessions. Colaizzi’s phenomenological method was employed to formulate four main themes: 1. Emotional trauma 2. Detachment 3. Loss of altruistic values in nursing 4. being-with-death For the participants in this study, emotional trauma was the most significant. The participants experienced a sense of powerlessness which caused emotions of hopelessness and anger and subsequently a sense of premature mourning and detachment. This state of hopelessness proved to be an obstacle in patient care, resulting in the altruistic values of nursing to be no longer applied. The participants’ ontological confrontation of being-with-death was evident, as they came to terms with the reality of their own death. Recommendations are offered to address the educational aspects of death and dying for nephrology nurses. This study endorses the need for further research into patients with ESKD ‘end-of-life’ which can influence how healthcare professionals should treat these patients during this phase.

Abstract:
This thesis explored the dimensions of decision-making of nurses managing continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit. Variations in the levels of decision-making were largely the result of contextual factors including workforce characteristics, management practices, socialisation and organisational constraints. The concepts also constitute an explanation of the ways in which the interplay of social, organisational and technological boundaries constructed the process of nursing clinical decision-making and performance with advanced technology. These finding suggest that there is an urgent need for organisational and social change in the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:
There has been much written regarding nurse education and the socialisation of student nurses in clinical areas in the past (Olesen & Whittaker 1968, Orton, 1981, Melia, 1987, 1997, Ogier, 1989, Castledine, 1995, Bradshaw 2001, Spouse, 2003). The originality of this thesis lies in the discussions and exploration of the concept of Problem Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching and learning strategy and the implementation of the Making a Difference (DoH, 1999a) recommendations in a nursing curriculum. It investigates whether or not these have indeed made a difference to the ability of the students to socialise into their clinical roles and effectively meet their ultimate aim of becoming a ‘real nurse’. The thesis is split into five chapters and employs qualitative research methods to present an ethnographic case study of the experiences of student nurses in clinical placement areas regarding the process of becoming effective student nurses who ultimately develop their knowledge and skills base to become ‘real nurses’. The sample consisted of fifteen (15) students, fifteen (15) student mentors, eight (8) ward managers, one (1) practice development coordinator and one (1) senior nurse responsible for clinical development. Interviewing and observation techniques were used to obtain the data. PBL as a teaching and learning strategy is investigated and discussed, in relation to the students’ ability to develop critical problem solving skills that can be incorporated into their student roles. The disadvantages of PBL are also debated and issues highlighted that may cast doubt that this strategy and the Making a Difference curriculum has actually changed attitudes in the clinical areas towards the capabilities of the student nurse role. Eight major themes arose from the data analysis; learning to be a student, fitting into the clinical team, being professional, being a real nurse, the role of the practice development co-ordinator, effective mentors, developing clinical skills and reflecting in practice. Integral to these were the concepts of professionalism, power, inequalities and culture that were identified as significant underlying issues for the students to recognize when performing and developing into their clinical roles. The data suggest that the new curriculum and PBL have offered some solutions to help overcome the perceived boundaries of professionalism, power, inequalities and culture but by no means provides all the answers. Overall the study has highlighted the importance of clinical skills development and effective delivery of them by students in learning to become a ‘real nurse’. Through their experiences the students have learnt how to overcome boundaries and to fit in with the culture of clinical areas thereby enabling them to learn the role of the student nurse. Furthermore, the newly developed roles of the practice development co-ordinator and established mentor roles are perceived to be invaluable sources of support for the students while in clinical placement areas.

Abstract:
Title: Ultrasound measurements on the inferior vena cava (IVC-US) by renal nursing staff for assessment and management of intravascular volume status in haemodialysis patients. Aims: The primary aim of this thesis was to provide evidence that renal nurses could safely and efficiently perform IVC-US on haemodialysis patients to obtain objective assessment of intravascular volume status and potentially reduce adverse events and morbidity. The secondary aims for this study were: (1) conduct a systematic literature review to identify evidence if renal nurses have previously used this method for intravascular volume assessment; (2) teach a renal nurse through a staged educational programme, guided by a medically trained ultrasonographer, a sonologist, to gain competency in ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation of the scans; (3) measure the prevalence of any form of intradialytic hypotension in a satellite haemodialysis clinic over a three-month period and (4) attain concurrent IVC-US and bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements on 30 patients during their haemodialysis treatment and to compare these findings with their intravascular volume status using the traditional clinical nursing assessment method. Materials and Methods: To achieve this primary aim, this thesis was separated into multiple phases. First, a systematic literature review of medical and nursing databases was performed to summarise the use of IVC-US in haemodialysis patients by renal nurses. The second phase involved a retrospective data analysis, where the prevalence rate of nurse-documented fluid related intradialytic hypotensive events was measured and a Generalised Estimating Equation (GEE) model was used to predict the likelihood of any form of intradialytic hypotension or postdialytic overhydration. In the next phase a four-step educational programme was developed in collaboration with an expert sonologist, guiding the renal nurse through the process of skill acquisition and accurate fluid assessment based on nurse-performed IVC-US scans. Following this phase, and after receiving theoretical training and performing 100 proctored scans, the renal nurse then performed 60 IVC-US scans independently, which were subsequently assessed by two sonologists, resulting in a cross-sectional interrater study, confirming competency. The final phase of the thesis consisted of a simulative pilot study, where 30 haemodialysis patients were assessed during three intradialytic moments of a single session on their intravascular volume status with IVC-US. Results: The systematic literature review revealed that there is a paucity of knowledge regarding renal nurses and IVC-US. The 3-month data analysis has shown that intradialytic hypotension (IDH) was still the most common adverse intradialytic event with 13.1% of all treatments affected. The renal nurse mastered the educational programme and was deemed competent by the experts. Finally, the simulative pilot study revealed that if IVC-US had been performed and indicated intravascular hypovolemia, patients had a 14-fold chance to experience subsequent IDH events. An algorithm using IVC-US combined with bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) revealed a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 100% for the prevention of IDH. Conclusions: This thesis demonstrates the obvious need for more objective and reliable fluid assessment methods in the haemodialysis population to improve clinical outcomes. Most importantly, it has been shown that renal nurses can master the skill to perform IVC-US and that IVC-US is a useful and reliable method of fluid assessment. Performing IVC-US is a transferrable skill and has potential to be preventative for intradialytic hypotension if added to the clinical fluid assessment routine by renal nurses. It has potential to change clinical practice and policy in future, but further research studies are needed to provide evidence for this.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Uppkomsten av vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) är ett globalt problem. Den vanligaste smittvägen är via personalens händer. Bra handhygien är väsentligt för att minska VRI. Med bättre följsamhet till handhygien kan uppkomsten av VRI minskas, därför har forskning om följsamhet till handhygien och faktorer som inverkar, stort betydelse. Syfte: Syftet var att sammanställa och beskriva aktuell forskning om sjuksköterskors följsamhet till handhygien och vilka faktorer främjar respektive hindrar följsamheten till handhygien. Metod: En litteraturöversikt som baserades på artiklar publicerade de senaste fem åren, från länder som följer Världshälsoorganisationens (WHO) handhygieniska riktlinjer. Sexton artiklar valdes efter kvalitetsgranskning för analys och beskrivning. Artiklarna bearbetades med innehållsanalys. Resultat: Sjuksköterskors följsamhet till handhygien var låg. Följande främjande faktorer identifierades: handhygien efter patientkontakt, materialtillgång, förebilder, utbildning, verbala och visuella påminnelser, positiva individuella attityder, kvinnlig könstillhörighet, yrkesgrupp, specialitet, patientens skydd, arbetskultur och samhällets inställning till handhygien. Följande hindrande faktorer identifierades: hög arbetsbelastning, bristande utbildning, kunskapsbrist, individuella attityder, hudpåverkan, materialtillgång, arbetskultur och samhällets inställning till handhygien, manlig könstillhörighet, yrkesgrupp, specialitet. Slutsats: Enligt resultat rekommenderas: samspelet med kollegor och patienter, stöd av teamarbete ledare, förebilder, materialtillgång, utbildning, påminnelser, intervention med tillgång till information, stöd, resurser och möjligheter för regelbunden kunskapsuppföljning, motivera till handhygien före patientkontakt, involvera patienter.
Background: The emergence of healthcare-associated infections (VRI) is a global problem. The most common route of transmission is via the staff's hands. Good hand hygiene is essential for reducing VRI. With better adherence to hand hygiene, the emergence of VRI is reduced, therefore, research on adherence to hand hygiene and factors affecting, big importance. Aim: The aim was to compile and describe current research on nurses ' adherence to hand hygiene and what factors promote or hinder the adherence to hand hygiene. Method: A literature review based on articles published in the last five years, from countries that follow the World Health Organisation (WHO) hand hygiene guidelines. Sixteen articles were selected for quality review of analysis and description. The items were processed with content analysis. Results: nurses ' adherence to handhygiene was low. Promoting factors was handhygiene after patient contact, materials access, role models, training, verbal and visual reminders, positive individual attitudes, gender, profession, specialty, patient protection, work culture and society's attitudes to handhygiene. Limiting factors: high workload, lack of education, lack of knowledge, individual attitudes, skin effects, materials access, work culture and society's attitudes to handhygiene, sex, profession, specialty. Conclusion: According to the results is folowing recommended : the interaction with colleagues and patients, support of team work leaders, role models, materials access, education, reminders, intervention with access to information, support, resources and opportunities for regular knowledge track, justify to handhygiene prior to patient contact, involve patients.

Abstract:
Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surfaces form an integral part of commercial modeling systems because of its ability to represent freeform as well as common analytic shapes. The creation of complex NURBS in design environments is a tedious process because very few tools exist, that allow a designer to design intuitively in real-time. Standard input devices such as the mouse and the keyboard do not provide the designer with direct and easy capabilities for surface manipulation. We have developed a NURBS modeling system that allows the designer to edit NURBS surfaces in real-time using a pressure sensitive sculpting/molding input device designed to be worn as a glove called the ModelGlove. This input device is equipped with force and position sensors for quantifying touch and intent of the designer. A virtual block deforms in a physically realistic manner in response to the user’s direct manipulation of a hard or soft real physical object. The dynamic behavior of the NURBS model in response to the force and position input obtained from the ModelGlove, produces highly natural shape variations. Experimental results show the potential of the system for product and concept design applications.

Abstract:
Rolling waves of consolidation have significantly decreased the number of hospital systems in the U.S. potentially affecting industry quality, prices, efficiency, wages and more. This research concerns the growth in hospital system consolidation in local labor markets and its effect on registered nurse wages. We first use a nonparametric preprocessing data step via matching methods to define MSA-specific samples of workers analogous to nurses outside of the hospital sector. This step enables an accounting of heterogeneous MSA-specific baseline wage growth, and yields a standardized measure of nurse wage growth across MSAs used to set up a multi-site quasi-experiment. We then run a parsimonious linear model; market size matters, for every 0.1 increase in consolidation in smaller-MSAs, real hourly nurse wage growth decreased by $0.70 (p-value of 0.038). Though not the primary aim of this study, a secondary finding is that real hourly wages for nurses grew less than that of comparable workers by $4.08.

Abstract:
Investment in transportation infrastructure projects generates benefits, both direct and indirect. While emissions reductions, crash reductions, and travel time savings are prominent direct benefits, there are indirect benefits in the form of real estate enhancements that could pay off debt or loan incurred in the improvement of the infrastructure itself. Studies have shown that improvements associated with rail transportation (such as station upgrades) trigger an increase in the surrounding real estate values, increasing both the opportunity for monetary gains and, ultimately, property tax collections. There is plenty of available guidance that provides blueprints for benefits calculations for operational improvements in rail transportation. However, resources are quite limited in the analysis of benefits that accrue from the separation of railroad at-grade crossings. Understanding the impact of separation in a neighborhood with high employment or population could generate revenues through increased tax collections. In California, the research need is further amplified by a lack of guidance from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on at-grade crossing for separation based on revenue generated. There is a critical need to understand whether grade separation projects could impact neighboring real estate values that could potentially be used to fund such separations. With COVID-19, as current infrastructure spending in California is experiencing a reboot, an approach more oriented to benefits and costs for railroad at-grade separation should be explored. Thus, this research uses a robust benefits-to-cost analysis (BCA) to probe the economic impacts of railroad at-grade separation projects. The investigation is carried out across twelve railroad-highway at-grade crossings in California. These crossings are located at Francisquito Ave., Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station, Sassafras St., Palm St., Civic Center Dr., L St., Spring St. (North), J St., E St., H St., Parkmoor West, and Nursery Ave. The authors found that a majority of the selected at-grade crossings analyzed accrue high benefits-to-cost (BC) ratios from travel time savings, safety improvements, emissions reductions, and potential revenue generated if property taxes are collected and used to fund such separation projects. The analysis shows that with the estimated BC ratios, the railroad crossing at Nursery Ave. in Fremont, Palm St. in San Diego, and H St. in Chula Vista could be ideal candidates for separation. The methodology presented in this research could serve as a handy reference for decision-makers selecting one or more at-grade crossings for the separation considering economic outputs and costs.
