Full textAbstract:
In community nursing, the administration of insulin for people with type 2 diabetes can be delegated by registered nurses to healthcare support workers. Although a voluntary framework in England provides national guidance, little is known about its uptake. The project aim was to determine the roll-out, characteristics and support needs in relation to the delegation of insulin administration in community settings. An online survey was disseminated to community nursing services in England via social media and nursing networks. Of the 115 responding organisations, 81% (n=93) had an insulin delegation programme, with most initiated since 2018. From these services, 41% (n=3704) of insulin injections were delegated daily, with benefits for patients, staff and services reported, along with some challenges. Delegation of insulin administration is an established and valued initiative. Awareness of the national voluntary framework is increasing. National guidance is considered important to support governance arrangements and safety.

Full textAbstract:
Community nurses are often requested to administer medicines. A medicines administration record (MAR) is usually used to demonstrate all medicines administered, withheld or declined. In Wales, district nursing teams have highlighted concerns about accessing MARs and have been seeking solutions, which includes transcription of medication, where an exact copy of previously prescribed medicines are made to enable their administration. To understand the types of medicines administered in district nursing teams and nurses' views on transcribing, an anonymised electronic survey was developed and shared with such teams across Wales. A total of 286 responses were received from Health Boards in Wales. The survey found 60% of nurses experienced difficulties in accessing MARs, particularly during the out of hours period. Overall, 77% of nurses supported transcribing as a possible solution. Further work is required to develop clear policies and training to support safe transcribing within district nursing services. This can be supported by providing access to the person's medical records.

Full textAbstract:
Nursing administration, as an integrated part of the complex health area system, needs to confront and to respond to the challenges that are imposed by the quality and excellence imperatives from service assistance organizations in order to satisfy the users’ expectations and values. From this evidence on, it is originated the need of reviewing old paradigms and adopting new ways of think and act that permit, by inclusion and participation, the development of a creative team (through new ideas, innovations, adaptations and implementations) aiming at trouble solutions and services optimization. In this article, it is intended to demonstrate the lateral thinking and resilience contributions as important instruments to be used in the facilita-tion process of nursing administration.

Full textAbstract:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has evolved over time, as well as the role of nurses and is currently recommended in several treatments. Although the concept of hyperbaric oxygen therapy has received some attention, as a structural theoretical construction among different professional sectors, it was possible to verify that there are few studies carried out on the subject. This justifies the need to map and organize the studied knowledge. Thus, with this study, we intend to contribute to the knowledge of the nurse’s role in the administration of hyperbaric therapy and to reinforce their role in this context. This study has, therefore, as a starting point the following research question: “What are the nursing interventions in the use of hyperbaric therapy?”. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, despite still having limited availability in our country, has a recognized importance in the health sector. With this review, it is hoped that a detailed analysis and clarification of the role of nurses will be possible. By mapping the respective impact in practice, it is intended to encourage future research on the subject, with a focus on improving our health services.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the changing nature of family planning services in Nigeria, investigating the complex interaction between traditional practices, cultural influences, and the continuous integration of digital technologies. Although there has been notable improvement, the availability and use of family planning services continue to encounter ongoing obstacles that are deeply founded in cultural attitudes and structural shortcomings within the healthcare infrastructure. Historically, family planning in Nigeria has mostly depended on traditional practices and cultural beliefs, which have impeded the widespread use of contemporary contraceptive technologies. The intricate interplay of cultural elements leads to a significant percentage of the population being deprived of a wide array of family planning options. The issues are worsened by the healthcare system, which is characterised by limited resources and geographical inequality. The use of digital technology into family planning services offers a revolutionary chance for change. Contraception monitoring applications, wearable gadgets, and telemedicine provide novel methods to improve the accessibility, accuracy, and effectiveness of reproductive healthcare. The research highlights the significance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in customising preventative interventions. Nevertheless, the implementation of digital family planning services presents obstacles such as privacy issues and the need for fair technology availability. The objective of this research is to conduct a thorough analysis of the intricacies related to digitalization, while considering both the advantages and disadvantages. The future of family planning services in Nigeria hinges upon not only technology advancements, but also on cooperative endeavours, cultural awareness, and meticulous strategizing. This article explores the ramifications of digitalization on nursing practice, education, and administration, with a particular focus on the crucial role that nurses play in adapting to this transformational environment. This research provides significant insights to facilitate the successful incorporation of digital technology into family planning services, with the aim of creating a more accessible, patient-centered, and technologically advanced reproductive healthcare system in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Until the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, acute care nurse practitioners could not be directly reimbursed for inpatient services provided to Medicare patients. With the enactment of this legislation, acute care nurse practitioners may now be directly compensated for care provided. The historical and contextual issues that surround reimbursement for nursing and advanced practice nursing services are reviewed to serve as a foundation for understanding the current Medicare reimbursement regulations. The implications of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 for acute care nurse practitioners and their professional colleagues are critically examined. The language of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the subsequent rules and regulations issued by the Health Care Financing Administration are reviewed with specific focus on implications for acute care nurse practitioners. The opportunities for reimbursement for services provided by acute care nurse practitioners are more extensive than ever before. Acute care nurse practitioners and their physician colleagues will be wise to become fully conversant with the changes in Medicare reimbursement regulations.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives The objective of this paper is to review and compare the content of medication management policies across seven Australian health services located in the state of Victoria. Methods The medication management policies for health professionals involved in administering medications were obtained from seven health services under one jurisdiction. Analysis focused on policy content, including the health service requirements and regulations governing practice. Results and Conclusions The policies of the seven health services contained standard information about staff authorisation, controlled medications and poisons, labelling injections and infusions, patient self-administration, documentation and managing medication errors. However, policy related to individual health professional responsibilities, single- and double-checking medications, telephone orders and expected staff competencies varied across the seven health services. Some inconsistencies in health professionals’ responsibilities among medication management policies were identified. What is known about the topic? Medication errors are recognised as the single most preventable cause of patient harm in hospitals and occur most frequently during administration. Medication management is a complex process involving several management and treatment decisions. Policies are developed to assist health professionals to safely manage medications and standardise practice; however, co-occurring activities and interruptions increase the risk of medication errors. What does this paper add? In the present policy analysis, we identified some variation in the content of medication management policies across seven Victorian health services. Policies varied in relation to medications that require single- and double-checking, as well as by whom, nurse-initiated medications, administration rights, telephone orders and competencies required to check medications. What are the implications for practitioners? Variation in medication management policies across organisations is highlighted and raises concerns regarding consistency in governance and practice related to medication management. Lack of practice standardisation has previously been implicated in medication errors. Lack of intrajurisdictional concordance should be addressed to increase consistency. Inconsistency in expectations between healthcare services may lead to confusion about expectations among health professionals moving from one healthcare service to another, and possibly lead to increased risk of medication errors.

PurposeAs a result of demographic changes, older people are increasingly living at home, with multi-morbidity and complex care needs. This calls for enhanced integration of homecare nursing and social services. The purpose of this paper is to describe the clinical collaboration, scope and impact of integration from the perspective of staff in a setting identified as fully integrated.Design/methodology/approachIn this qualitative study, data consisted of interviews with managers and care workers in social services and homecare nursing (n=14) in daily clinical collaboration, followed by five focus group discussions (n=28). Data were analysed using framework analysis.FindingsAlthough the homecare services studied were ostensibly fully integrated, the study showed that the process of integration was incomplete. Interdisciplinary coordination between nursing and social services team managers was described as strong and efficient, but weaknesses were identified in collaboration between care workers. They lacked acquaintance with one another, opportunities for communication and knowledge of the contribution of members of other teams. They felt unclear about their own role in coordinated teamwork and lacked a shared vision.Originality/valueThis paper’s originality lies in the model of integrated care studied and its focus on actual care practices. The findings highlight that integration does not automatically permeate between different levels of service. Time and space must be allowed for conversations between health and social service teams to promote integration.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In most European countries, communities need to provide health and social care services to an increasing number of severely ill patients discharged from hospitals. We investigated whether nurses in hospitals and in the communities’ health and social care services experienced that the administration in the municipalities allocated older patients the right type of services after hospital discharge. Methods: We used data from Norway, with a qualitative pilot study and quantitative analysis (structural equation modeling) of surveys involving 2431 nurses on inpatient wards in acute hospitals and 4312 nurses working in nursing homes or home nursing. Results: Dissatisfaction was widespread with the use of patients’ homes the first days after hospital discharge. Among nurses working in hospitals, 38% were commonly or very commonly disagreeing with the use of the patient’s home after hospital discharge, 25% among home nurses, and 18% among nurses in nursing homes. Home nurses were more prone to oppose the use of patients’ homes if they also experienced that their service had inadequate staffing or inadequate medical equipment. Conclusions: This research indicates conflicting priorities between the bureaucracy and nurses involved in actual work with older patients. From the nurses’ perspective, the municipalities’ administration was offering too few older patients short-term-stay in an intermediate care institution as part of the clinical pathway from hospital to home. However, providing more recourses to home nursing would improve their ability to provide sufficient care to older patients discharged from hospital.

Human rights within the realm of healthcare demand tangible realization through Health Development initiatives aimed at enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and society by instilling robust health practices. Positioned as a fundamental national objective, underscored in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the pursuit of Public Welfare necessitates the enactment of Health Development measures. Such endeavors find manifestation through the facilitation of healthcare services, inclusive of nursing care. Within the evolving landscape of scientific inquiry, concerted efforts have been made to optimize nursing services, leveraging the pivotal role of educational institutions and allied stakeholders. The advent of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, heralded on August 8, 2023, stands as a watershed moment, furnishing nurses with a blueprint for elevating service standards. The purview of this discourse encompasses an exploration into the Legal Safeguards for Nurses in Nursing Administration and a Legal Analysis of Patient-Nurse Relations vis-à-vis Nursing Administration, as delineated in Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. Adopting a juridical normative research approach, which draws upon legal precepts enshrined in statutes, judicial pronouncements, and societal legal norms, this study relies on library research methodology to unearth theoretical underpinnings and research imperatives. With regard to the rights and obligations delineated for nurses and patients in nursing administration, a deeper exploration reveals intricate regulations embedded within Article 273 of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, specifically articulated in Part Nine, addressing the rights and obligations of medical and health personnel. Further elaboration is provided in Paragraph 1, which expounds upon the rights and duties incumbent upon medical practitioners and health professionals, including nurses. Meanwhile, the responsibilities incumbent upon medical and health personnel in the execution of their professional duties are codified in Articles 274 and 275. Delving into patient entitlements, Article 276 elucidates the rights of patients within the ambit of healthcare legislation, while delineating corresponding obligations in Article 277.

Full textAbstract:
Objective Residential aged care services are challenged by an increasing number of residents and a shortage of nursing staff. Developing strategies to overcome this challenge requires an understanding of nursing staff work patterns. The aim of the present study was to investigate the work processes followed by nursing staff and how nursing time is allocated in a residential aged care home. Methods An observational time–motion study was conducted at two aged care units for 12 morning shifts. Seven nurses were observed, one per shift. Results In all, there were 91 h of observation. The results showed that there was a common work process followed by all nurse participants. Medication administration, documentation and verbal communication were the most time-consuming activities and were conducted most frequently. No significant difference between the two units was found in any category of activities. The average duration of most activities was less than 1 min. There was no difference in time utilisation between the endorsed enrolled nurses and the personal carers in providing nursing care. Conclusion Medication administration, documentation and verbal communication were the major tasks in morning shifts in a residential aged care home. Future research can investigate how verbal communication supports nursing care. What is known about the topic? The aging population will substantially increase the demand for residential aged care services. There is a lack of research on nurses’ work patterns in residential aged care homes. What does this paper add? The present study provides a comprehensive understanding of nurses’ work patterns in a residential aged care home. There is a common work process followed by nurses in providing nursing care. Medication administration, verbal communication and documentation are the most time-consuming activities and they are frequently conducted in the same period of time. Wound care, physical review and documentation on desktop computers are arranged flexibly by the nurses. What are the implications for practitioners? When developing a task reallocation strategy to improve work efficiency, effort can be put into tasks that can be arranged more flexibly.

The project descriptively compared program outcome benchmarks between groups. The project's multifaceted approach was key to success, providing implications for other programs to increase diversity of the nursing workforce.

Access to care along with a shortage of healthcare providers, especially psychiatric specialists is a widespread problem in many areas of Virginia. Patients who have 1 or more chronic illnesses frequently have coexisting psychiatric problems, and psychiatric patients often have at least 1 chronic health condition. To assist in addressing both behavioral health and primary care services for health promotion and disease prevention, a collaborative care model as outlined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Health Resources and Services Administration was evaluated. The collaborative care model was compared with existing services and barriers to health care identified in a rural Virginia County. Identification and use of advanced practice nursing roles and improved collaboration among health care providers were emphasized. Evidence-based practice interventions and quality improvement strategies such as the plan-do-check-act model were identified and evaluated. Outcome measures outlining an evaluation plan for goals related to improving health outcomes were identified with recommendations for various accessible wellness programs.

<p>Patient safety is one of the main issues in health care services. Medical mistakes are common potential dangers for patients that can be treated as a measure of patient safety. Medication errors are the most common errors in the nursing profession, which can be potentially dangerous for patients. In this study, the main purpose was evaluation of criminal responsibility of nurses in administration of prescriptions using descriptive and analytical approach. Since for medical professionals legal aspects of such cases are beyond their duty, we wish to determine the criminal liability for medical care personnel (e.g. nurses) and associated professionals</p>We will look at penal provisions for this matter closely. Obviously, lack of medical community responsibility for such errors will diminish cases of criminal prosecution. While specific rules in Medicine provide the possibility to call upon relevant incumbents, yet, criminal responsibility has not been assigned to this issue. In the legal responsibility of medical superintendents, nursing faults are divided into two categories, general criminal liability and specific criminal liability. Recent responsibility requires that necessary coordination exists between prosecution laws and specific laws in medicine.

AbstractThe historiography of western medicine in colonial India has predominantly been analysed from the perspectives of the elite services – the Indian Medical Service (IMS) and their recruits. Unfortunately, perceiving colonial medical practices through the lens of the IMS has remained inadequate to provide a nuanced understanding of the role played by Indians in the semi-urban and rural areas of colonial India. This article examines the contributions of local administration and the role played by the recruits of the Subordinate Medical Service. This article uses the Madras Presidency as its case study and focusses on the medical subordinates who were pivotal in establishing a western medical tradition in the region. This will shift the urban-centric focus and examine mostly the rural parts of the presidency, in particular, the district hospitals and dispensaries located in the districts, taluks and villages. The article analyses the transformation in the Madras medical administration from the late nineteenth century until 1935 to argue how subordinates were the ones controlling the local medical services, and thus pulling the strings of health administration in the presidency. This will also demonstrate the uniqueness of Madras and how it disseminated western medical care with an active participation and involvement of the local residents.

Full textAbstract:
Timely and safe administration of injectable medications for patients at home is vital in optimally managing distressing symptoms in the final days of life. This article discusses a service evaluation of family carers' (including close friends) administrating subcutaneous end-of-life medications. The procedure was not intended to become normal care, rather the exception when appropriate and needed, with 24/7 skilled support from community nursing and palliative care services. A service evaluation of the procedure was undertaken in rural and urban areas in the South East of England. The procedure ran over 6 months and used detailed processes with recruitment criteria to mitigate risk of harm. In total, 11 patients participated with their family carers, including five carers with experience in healthcare roles. Of the 11 family carers, 10 were able to administer injections safely with structured training and support in place. Patients received timely symptom relief and their family carers were able to support loved ones by administering injectable medications rapidly without waiting for a nurse to arrive. This was particularly welcomed in more rural areas where waiting times were greater due to the large geographical area covered and limited staff availability during out-of-hours periods. The findings informed a carefully monitored wider rollout and ongoing evaluation in adult community nursing services in the NHS Trust.

Lack of resources has been a major restriction on the development of mental health services. However, even with the resources currently available there are insufficient numbers of trained medical, nursing, occupational therapy, psychology and social work staff to maintain services to adequate levels in many areas. This seriously interferes with provision of services, especially in acute wards but also in other areas. It certainly restricts developments and the use of skills attained through training (e.g. from THORN psychosocial intervention courses (Gournay & Birley, 1998)). The introduction of crisis resolution and early intervention teams, as described in the NHS Implementation Guide (Department of Health, 2001a), looks likely to simply deprive in-patient wards and community teams of staff, making the new teams ineffective through lack of core services. This will occur directly by recruitment of staff from them, or competitively through taking new entrants from nursing and social work programmes. Solutions proposed have included increasing numbers of support workers and administration staff; recruitment from abroad; or increased delegation of tasks, but there remains a need for more appropriately-trained professional staff.

The goal of the study is to restructure society’s attitude toward the needs of the elderly. The article addresses the methodology of state social policy and possible innovations in funding and economic methods for public administration in the healthcare system for seniors. The novelty of the work is ensured by the concept of managed older age and a start-up proposal to create the State Direct Investment Fund “Senior Generation” functioning as an entity responsible for the development of the organizational foundations for gerontology and geriatrics services. The practical significance of the study lies in the optimization of the modern management model of care for the older generation and a philosophical study of age as a potential in management in both individual and societal regards. This strategy can serve as a basis for public administration of the healthcare system for the elderly accounting for the diversity of seniors as a social stratum.

Internationally, every year, thousands of students begin their journey in higher education by enrolling in pre-licensure and advanced nursing programs. However, not all students successfully complete their degrees to fruition. According to the National League for Nursing (NLN), the average national dropout rate for nursing programs in the United States is 20%-25%; this high attrition rate is considered problematic. The purpose of this presentation is to present the successes of a School of Nursing within Mississippi that has led to a 0.02% attrition/99.98% retention rate of students within programs. Some strategies proven to be successful in retaining students are: student support services, technical/tech support programs, online and face-to-face orientations, and student connection sessions set up for building peer relationships. Faculty and students are often unaware of the services provided by the institution and their department/school; dissemination of these services is pivotal to facilitating student success. The World Health Organization has predicted a shortage of over 18 million healthcare professionals by 2030, with half of those individuals representing the nursing profession. It is imperative to understand the attrition and retention of nursing students to prevent further loss of the future healthcare workforce. University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Nursing focuses on various processes that contribute to its success for the retention of nursing students at all levels. Percentile of attrition from Summer and Fall 2022 semester enrollment, metrics revolving around student leave, and demographics of the school's programs/state of Mississippi are reviewed in this paper. The success of the SON program in gaining high retention is multifactorial. A detailed outline of how academic affairs, student affairs, and administration work together to achieve a culture of success for students within the School of nursing is presented in this manuscript.

S.W.O.T analysis is a proposed strategic analysis tool for healthcare organizations. The issues identified in the S.W.O.T. analysis are classified into four categories. From the internal environment of the service are the strength points, such as accessibility, good level of provided health services, experienced and specialized nursing staff, modern level of technological-biomedical equipment, management oriented to quality procedures, staff satisfaction and the weakness points, such as shortages of human resources and equipment, mental and physical fatigue, non-application of treatment protocols, vague nursing tasks, modest or reduced staff training, worker culture. From the external environment, there are opportunities, start-up and operation of quality assurance systems, awareness of service weaknesses, medical records, volunteering, private forms of hospital funding, multiculturalism, and threats, such as financial and values crisis, bureaucracy in day-to-day management, the presence of a significant number of migrants and uninsured people, health users’ displeasure, private care, change of epidemiological model. The purpose of the article is to highlight the application of the S.W.O.T. analysis as an important tool in the hands of nursing administration, decision-making and shaping a future strategy of health services. S.W.O.T is a useful, but not a stand-alone, strategic planning tool that promises health services to make informed decisions and leave nothing to chance in order to be efficient and competitive.

The Nursing Core Curriculum has been continually developed and revised in many countries over recent decades. These revisions are shaped mainly by social changes and challenges: for example, the forecast that the elderly will become a significant percentage of populations in developed countries, global migration processes, computerization of medical services, and new complex medical devices have all necessitated changes in the education of 21st century nurses. In Israel, nursing education has developed simultaneously under the influences of both the British versus the American core curricula through the last century. The latest Core Curriculum was published in 2012, and for the last three years, the Ministry of Health Nursing Administration have been working on the development of a new core. Meanwhile, all nursing education institutions are expected to implement de-facto changes which are supervised by the Ministry of Health’s audit tool development and inspection process.

AbstractIntroductionIn Italy, administration of medications or advanced procedures dictates the prehospital presence of a physician to initiate treatment. Nursing staff is often used as dispatchers in Italian emergency medical ambulance services. There is little data about nursing dispatch performance in detecting high-acuity patients who need prehospital medications and procedures.ObjectiveTo determine the ability of a dispatch center staffed by emergency ambulance nurses to detect prehospital need for physician interventions in the context of a semi-rural area Emergency Medical Services system.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 53,606 calls from the Rovigo Emergency Ambulance Services’ database was undertaken. Physician prehospital interventions were defined as the administration of medications or procedures (advanced airway management and ventilation, pneumothorax decompression, fluid replacement therapy, external defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing). The dispatch codes (assigned by a subjective decision-making process as Red, Yellow, or Green) of all transported prehospital patient calls were matched with an out-of-hospital triage system staffed by clinicians to determine the number of correctly identified prehospital need of physician interventions. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated.ResultsThe sensitivity of subjective experience-based nursing dispatch in detecting the need for physician interventions was 78.0% (95% CI, 76.9%-79.1%), with a PPV of 36.6% (95% CI, 35.8%-37.5%). Specificity was 83.8% (95% CI: 83.4%-84.1%), with an NPV of 96.9% (95% CI, 96.8%-97.1%).ConclusionA dispatch center staffed by nurses with six years of experience and three months of training correctly identified when not to send a doctor to the scene in the absence of need for physician interventions, using a subjective decision-making process. The nurses staffing the dispatch center also worked in the field. Dispatch center staff were not able to predict when there was no need for physician interventions in high-acuity dispatch code patients, resulting in an over-triage and use of emergency physicians on scene.LeopardiM, SommacampagnaM.Emergency nursing staff dispatch: sensitivity and specificity in detecting prehospital need for physician interventions during ambulance transport in Rovigo Emergency Ambulance Service, Italy.

In 1979, maternal and child health issues were discussed during the annual meeting of the 33 Member States of the European Region of the World Health Organization. During this discussion many countries expressed concern about the services offered for pregnancy, birth and the period following birth. The countries recognized that, as yet, unsolved problems remain which must be examined and they asked the European Regional Office of WHO to mount activities to study and report on these problems surrounding birth and birth care. In response to this request, the maternal and child health unit of the European Regional Office organized a Perinatal Study Group. The Group's 15 members came from 10 countries and spanned 10 professional disciplines: economics, epidemiology, health administration, midwifery, nursing, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychology, sociology, and statistics. For five years the Group conducted surveys, reviewed the literature and brought its own personal and professional experience to discussions of the health services for women and their babies, during pregnancy and birth, and after birth. The entire group met together at least once a year, at which time findings from the previous year's work were presented, followed by lengthy, sometimes heated, open and free discussions.

Errors in drug administration are adverse events for patients. Reducing the incidence of medication errors will significantly improve patient safety and quality of medication use. The traditional system makes staff spend time searching through notes on a compilation paper of what drugs patients must pay throughout the treatment process that is given. This process is not only lengthy, but also can easily increase opportunities for differences and mistakes. Many hospitals and health services are turning to digital systems as a solution. The EMM system supports the improvement of quality, safety, and support for drug management in hospitals. This includes providing support for doctors, nurses and pharmacists to prescribe, order, accept, reconcile, issue and install digital drug administration. EMM covers the entire treatment cycle in the hospital including prescribing by doctors, approved and issued drug orders by pharmacists, and administration of drugs by nurses. The use of EMM can provide benefits that are improving the quality of patient-oriented nursing care, the quality of clinical services and the use of information technology.

Nurse scientists have made important contributions to evidence-based practice in tobacco control. This chapter will discuss recent tobacco control developments in the United States and globally, such as legislation giving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulatory authority over tobacco products manufacturing, marketing and sales, the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and a brief review of research that has guided policy advances and nursing research in tobacco control. Suggestions for future research based on the update of the U.S. Public Health Services Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence clinical practice guideline will be explored. These developments offer nursing researchers a wealth of opportunities and challenges to advance nursing and tobacco control knowledge, address research gaps, and bring a unique nursing perspective to tobacco use prevention, reduction of exposure to secondhand smoke, tobacco dependence treatment, and tobacco control policies. Additionally, we will address how nursing scholarship can and should be supported by academic and organizational leadership to support nurses in realizing their full potential in mitigating the global epidemic of tobacco-caused death and disease.

Abstract In 1987, The Nursing Home Reform Act was enacted as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 87). At that time, the Health Care Finance Administration (now Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) issued comprehensive regulations and survey processes to “ensure that residents of nursing homes receive quality care that will result in their highest practicable physical, mental, and social well-being.” Despite this landmark legislation, nursing homes struggle to provide quality care, and are additionally challenged by natural disasters and pandemics. This presentation will report on recommendations that examine, structures, policies, and care models that promote change and innovation, with a focus on safety, environmental modifications, patient centered approaches, and quality care. Dr. Colleen Galambos, a professor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, with expertise in nursing home care delivery and quality improvement will present the care delivery recommendations from the NASEM report.

Abstract Three student focus groups were conducted at residential, center, and online university locations (N = 15) to investigate interest and understanding of careers in gerontology and exposure to aging issues. Students majoring in health services administration, psychology, and human services were recruited and given an honorarium for participating. Sessions were recorded and transcribed with two researchers independently coding to identify themes. Center and online participants were more likely to be non-traditional students. Eighty-seven percent of participants were female, 13 percent were male. Ages ranged from 19 to 34 (M = 23.4). Eighty-seven percent were upperclassmen. This study is unique as most research has investigated aging issues with traditional aged students. Center students reported aging issues were discussed in courses outside of their majors, whereas residential students stated issues did not receive attention outside of gerontology classes. Online students stated discussions depended on the class. Common deterrents for not considering careers in gerontology were concerns about performing “physical cares” or coping with death anxiety. Few considered what a career in gerontology looked like outside of nursing homes. To increase awareness, some students felt “gerontology classes should be mandatory.” Students felt taking field trips to modern nursing homes “changed their perspective,” from medical model facilities. All participants reported little exposure to older adults or gerontology as a viable career path in high school. With the rapidly aging population, we suggest incorporating a “Careers in Aging” unit in high schools to increase awareness of gerontology opportunities.
