Abstract:
This study aimed to describe the current use of competency-based assessment frameworks and tools in nursing programs in British Columbia (BC) who utilize HFS. High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is being adopted and used by nursing programs at an increasing rate. Competency-based assessment frameworks or tools offer an effective way to assess student learning and competence when utilizing HFS as part of teaching. However, current assessment methods used by nurse educators when utilizing HFS mostly involve assessing student’s self-reported competence measures, confidence, or satisfaction with the learning process. These instruments are typically designed within their institution and many have not been tested for validity or reliability. A survey study was designed to explore the frameworks and instruments currently used by nurse educators, trends related to specialized training in using HFS as a teaching tool for nurse educators, HFS utilization in nursing programs, and challenges experienced when using HFS. An online survey was used to collect data from nurse educators in British Columbia. Findings indicated inconsistent use of competency-based assessment frameworks and tools in various nursing programs in BC. Participants reported completing formative assessments after each HFS scenario, but a large majority of participants did not complete any summative assessments when utilizing HFS activities as part of their teaching. Lower range values were reported with regards to the number of specially trained nurse educators using HFS, as well as hours students were exposed to HFS in their programs. Challenges related to students’ attitudes towards realism of HFS scenarios, as well as nurse educators’ resistance to implementing best practices related to HFS use in education were also reported. Further research on developing validated and reliable competency-based assessment frameworks and tools, and implementation of consistent use of these tools in nursing programs is recommended.

Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2017. https://dc.etsu.edu/ijhse/vol4/iss2/2.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Malnutrition is a major public health problem in Ethiopia contributing to half of infant and child mortality. The 2014 mini Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey revealed that four out of ten children under five are stunted, nearly one out of ten are wasted, and a quarter are underweight. One of the factors that contributed to the high stunting rate is the shortage of capable providers who are competent to provide nutrition services. The purpose of this study was to assess graduating midwifery and nursing students’ nutrition competence and explore the factors that influence their competence. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was employed in June 2015. Students’ knowledge was assessed using objective written assessment questions; and their skills were assessed using a five-station objectively structured clinical examination. Students’ perception of the nutrition learning environment and their learning experience was obtained by administering a structured questionnaire using interviews. Bivariate and multivariable analysis, including Chi-square test and independent sample t-test, were used to detect statistically significant associations or differences. Results: A total of 113 students from four public universities in Ethiopia participated in the study. Only 38.1% of students demonstrated adequate competency in nutrition. The mean percentage score for nutrition knowledge and skills were 63.8% and 46.6% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between midwifery and nursing students’ nutrition competence (P>0.05). Both cadres scored a mean value above 50% in the knowledge assessment, except in the competency areas of nutrition and HIV. However, both showed lesser competence in performing basic nutrition skills such as anthropometry. Midwives scored higher than nurses on counseling mothers on optimal breast feeding (p=0.001). The majority (98.2%) of students reported that they had no access to nutrition skills laboratory when they took the nutrition course. In multivariable analysis, students who perceived the practice sites as conducive for nutrition skills learning achieved higher levels of competence. Conclusions: The target students were deficient in nutrition competencies. The study suggests revision of midwifery and nursing curricula for adequacy and relevance of nutrition contents, learning and assessment techniques. Nutrition skills learning both in skills lab and at clinical and practical settings need to be strengthened.

Black, Julie Black. "An Integrative Review Focusing on Accuracy and Reliability of Clinical Thermometers." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2342.

Full text
Abstract:
Technological advances in clinical thermometers have resulted in a variety of minimally invasive devices that give rapid results but may not have the accuracy necessary for use in acutely ill adults. Inaccurate temperatures can result in missed opportunities for the early identification and treatment of infection and sepsis. Following the methodology outlined by Whittemore and Knafl, the purpose of this project was to conduct an integrative review of the research on the accuracy of clinical thermometers used for acutely ill adults. The evidence was categorized using the Hierarchy of Evidence for Interventional Studies, and the quality of the studies was appraised using the indicators described by Hooper and Andrews. Forty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria; the findings on device accuracy were contradictory. Device accuracy was found in 10 (n = 27) studies on the tympanic (TM), 2 (n = 8) on the chemical dot (CH), 7 (n = 19) on the temporal artery (TAT), and 3 (n = 13) on the axillary (AX) thermometers. Two of 2 studies found the no-touch (NT) device clinically inaccurate. Diagnostic accuracy was found in 3 (n = 8) and 0 (n = 5) studies on the TM and TAT, respectively. Only 22 studies had an acceptable quality grade of A or B, limiting the validity of the evidence. The evidence did not support the use of the NT and TAT thermometers or the AX route for acutely ill adults. The CH device should be use with caution, and abnormal temperatures should be validated with a more reliable device. For thermometers in use, appropriate training and technique are essential for the most accurate results. Closing the knowledge-to-practice gap on clinical thermometers can change the culture of nursing practice, improve early sepsis identification, and increase the quality of patient care.

Abstract:
This retrospective descriptive study addressed the relationship between reading comprehension skills as measured by the Nelson-Denny Reading Test and the Nurse Entrance Test and indices of academic success (i.e., grade point average of prerequisite science courses and overall grade point average) prior to admission for students in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program with student success in the first semester of nursing coursework. Overall, there has been a continual decline in average reading ability of college-aged students. Reading is a basic skill for learning and academic success. To successfully complete an academic program of study in preparation to become professional nurses, students must be able to read and apply material from textbooks and journals. With the well-documented nursing shortage, any attrition from a nursing program contributes to the professional dilemma. Correlational and descriptive methods were used to determine the relationships among the variables for 179 students in this selected Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. A comparative approach was used to investigate possible cause and effect relationships between measures of academic success of students and reading comprehension abilities. Data were obtained from official academic records and test results for the Nelson-Denny Reading Test and the Nurse Entrance Test. Statistical procedures used to understand and interpret the interactions among and between the variables and included frequency distributions, descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and a regression model. Results of the study, limited to the students in this BSN program, indicated that reading comprehension, as measured by the Nelson-Denny Reading Test, was better in identifying student risk for academic failure. There was a positive relationship between the grade point average (GPA) for prerequisite science courses, overall cumulative GPA, and GPA for the first semester nursing courses. Early determination of reading comprehension ability provides needed information to direct intervention activities to improve individual reading comprehension abilities and, thus, promote successful academic performance in the first semester of this nursing program and thereafter.

Abstract:
Nursing faculty are utilizing high-fidelity patient simulation (HPS) with debriefing to help engage nursing students in making competent clinical decisions. This quasi-experimental study examined the use of HPS with debriefing and students’ ability to make nursing care decisions using standardized exams. The experimental group received debriefing after HPS and the control group did not receive debriefing after HPS. The pre- and post-test assessed participants’ ability to make clinical care decisions. The analysis of the pre-test and post-test HESI scores showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups.

Abstract:
The incidence and prevalence of overweight and obese children in the United States is a serious health concern since the complications of childhood obesity can have serious and long-term effects: cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, neurological disease, and pulmonary disease. Parental modeling and nutritional education focusing on the obese/overweight child’s parents has been shown as an effective strategy for improving nutritional outcomes of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables in children from five to ten years of age. Outcomes of this study and targeted nutritional modeling included increasing vegetable and fruit consumption of the parent by at least one fruit and vegetable serving per day post-intervention through nutritional education. The project purpose was to measure the impact of a parent-focused nutritional educational intervention that increases fruit and vegetable consumption in the parents of obese and overweight children. While the study indirectly measured a nutrition education intervention aimed at children via their parents, no children were included in this project. Parents (N = 93) of obese/overweight children were provided nutritional and modeling education over three months. A participation rate of 14% (N = 13) was achieved. The majority of the parents were single African American mothers between 18 and 25 years old with one or two children living in the household, an average income less than $10,000 per year, and some college or technical education. This project used a pre-and post-test design to measure the effectiveness of a nutritional educational intervention. A descriptive analysis of the participants was computed. Differences in the pre-and post-test scores on the parental dietary modeling questionnaire and the food frequency questionnaire were analyzed. Results showed a significant increase in fruit and vegetable consumption (p < .05). The majority of the increase was due to improved fruit consumption. There was also an increase in parental modeling awareness. Parents’ understanding of the importance of parental modeling had an impact on nutritional selection of their own fruit and vegetable intake.

Abstract:
An estimated 50% of older hospitalized patients experience delirium. This has created significant complications costing an estimated $164 billion or more per year worldwide. The ability to identify patients developing delirium would allow the implementation of specific interventions to decrease or eliminate the adverse effects of delirium. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to provide high quality delirium education to determine if medical unit nursing staff could successful implement the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) screening tool to identify patients experiencing delirium as the first phase of an overall plan. Implementation of the project followed Roger's diffusion of innovations theory. Patients were additionally screened for 5 potential risk factors of delirium from the multifactorial model of delirium to determine if delirium could be identified in the local population admitted to a single hospital. With a high quality education intervention, the staff nurses on the medical unit successfully implemented the CAM into their nursing practice and accurately identified delirium. Nurses identified delirium and subsyndromal delirium in 25% of the 208 patients in the study population. Consistent with the literature, patients who had a urinary catheter and experienced an iatrogenic event were predictors of delirium. An additional predictor of delirium, not included in the multifactorial model of delirium, included patients receiving benzodiazepines. This quality improvement project suggests that quality delirium education combined with the use of an accurate delirium detection tool could predict delirium accurately in the medical floor population. This has the potential to reduce the impact of delirium on patients, hospital staff, and reduce hospital expenditures.

Abstract:
The nursing assessment chapter explores the essential processes required to enable nurses to effectively assess patients and subsequently plan care. Undertaking a general patient history is important to determine a general health assessment. Additionally, there are a number of additional assessments that can be undertaken to gain greater understanding of specific gastrointestinal systems, such as a gastrointestinal assessment, a liver assessment, or a nutritional assessment. After performing an assessment through the use of questions, to gain more details about the patient and any condition they might be presenting with, a physical examination is necessary of the abdomen and rectum; a digital rectal examination may be undertaken. Succinct explorations on the various assessment methods that nurses use to evaluate the needs of patients can be reviewed when necessary within clinical practice by the nurse.

Abstract:
The principles of integrative nursing provide a framework to guide the practice of nursing in a way that aligns our beliefs and values with actions and therapeutic strategies. When conceptualized from an integrative approach to care, nurses support the person’s innate capacity to heal by providing care based on symptom severity, physiologic response, the patient’s condition, patient/family needs and preferences, and available resources. This chapter describes whole-person/whole-systems assessment that focuses on health and wellbeing, clinical decision-making, and methods to apply the full range of therapeutic interventions to weave together a way of being-knowing-doing that honors nursing’s traditions and prepares them to lead integrative healthcare delivery models.

Abstract:
This chapter provides perspectives on quality-based initiatives in the United States across healthcare settings and populations and describes their impact on patient, professional, and system outcomes. The authors discuss the need for quality improvement (QI) at end of life, QI principles, and the models, methods, and tools most frequently used. Also described are areas of national priority for improving end-of-life (EOL) care. A care-path for the end of life is used to illustrate a QI effort and the FOCUS_PDSA method and to encourage use of specific tools for improving EOL care, including respiratory distress, and a clinician assessment of EOL care using The Joint Commission (TJC) tracer methodology. The authors review the linkages between QI and practice changes in hospitals and hospices that ultimately lead to improved EOL care and close with examples of how nurses are providing leadership in the field of quality hospice and palliative care.

This condition is one of the earliest symptoms of pregnancy. This nausea and vomiting are physiological. This physiological condition will turn into a pathology if not appropriately treated. This study aimed to analyze the effect of acupressure on reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women at the Sidoarjo midwife’s independent practice. Subjects and Method: This study is a quasi-experiment with pre and post-test control group design conducted at Midwife Independent Practice, Sidoarjo from April to September, 2020. The dependent variable was nausea and vomiting. The independent variable was acupressure. The population of all primigravida pregnant women who experience nausea and vomiting. A sample of 40 was divided into 20 given intervention and 20 as control selected by purposive sampling. The data were collected by acupressure SOP and questionnaire with a Score Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis and or Nausea Scoring System (PUQE) assessment. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney. Results: The results showed that acupressure was effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in primigravida pregnant women (OR = 19.00; 95% CI = 2.11 to 5.13; p= 0.009). Conclusion: Acupressure is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in primigravida pregnant women. Keywords: acupressure, pregnant women, nausea and vomiting Correspondence: Nanik Handayani.

Abstract:
BackgroundCare recipients in care and welfare are increasingly presenting themselves with complex needs (Huber et al., 2016). An answer to this is the integrated organization of care and welfare in a way that personalized care is the measure (Topol, 2016). The reality, however, is that care and welfare are still mainly offered in a standardized, specialized and fragmented way. This imbalance between the need for care and the supply of care not only leads to under-treatment and over-treatment and thus to less (experienced) quality, but also entails the risk of mis-treatment, which means that patient safety is at stake (Berwick, 2005). It also leads to a reduction in the functioning of citizens and unnecessary healthcare cost (Olsson et al, 2009).Integrated CareIntegrated care is the by fellow human beings experienced smooth process of effective help, care and service provided by various disciplines in the zero line, the first line, the second line and the third line in healthcare and welfare, as close as possible (Ettema et al, 2018; Goodwin et al, 2015). Integrated care starts with an extensive assessment with the care recipient. Then the required care and services in the zero line, the first line, the second line and / or the third line are coordinated between different care providers. The care is then delivered to the person (fellow human) at home or as close as possible (Bruce and Parry, 2015; Evers and Paulus, 2015; Lewis, 2015; Spicer, 2015; Cringles, 2002).AimSupport societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in people with complex care demands, through integration of healthcare and welfare servicesMethods (overview)1.
