- ItemAdding an integrative health and wellness assessment of nursing staff to the caring science research trajectory in a mid-size hospital in Wyoming, USA(2012-9-12) Nelson, John W.; Zeta
Four hundred nurses in a large community hospital in Casper, Wyoming, USA have been involved in the implementation of a Caring Science program since 2005. This research trajectory of Caring Science that is using a longitudinal research design began by measuring nurse's perceived competence in caring using the Caring Efficacy Scale in 2005. Measurement of patient's perception of caring was begun in 2008 by using the Caring Factor Survey based on Watson's Theory of Caritas. Now in 2012, the measurement of self-care has begun. According to Watson's Theory of Caritas, caring for others must begin by caring for self. The Integrative Health and Wellness Assessment (IHWA)* was used to assess eight concepts of self-care as proposed by integrative nurse coach experts Barbara Dossey, Susan Luck and Bonney Gulino Schaub. The IHWA assesses ten concepts of self-care (Life Balance and Satisfaction, Relationships, Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical (Nutrition, Exercise, Weight), Environment, Health Responsibility). Over the last 23 years, it has been refined based on respondent feedback and associated theoretical evolution proposed by Dr. Dossey. The survey assesses both current and desired state of self-care. Each of the eight concepts ends with asking the respondent to list three things they can do for self-care that relates to the concept of self-care on that page of the survey. This session will review staff variance of current to desired state and identify the most commonly reported self-care strategies of the 400 nurses from this study. * Source: © 2011. Dossey, B.

- ItemCompetency-based public health clinical educational strategies(2012-9-12) Schaffer, Marjorie A.; Schoon, Patricia; Cesario, Carolyn Marie; Zeta
Challenges facing nursing educators and public health agencies in preparing a public health nursing workforce for the 21st century include a lack of clinical sites, competition between schools of nursing for public health learning experiences, and a lack of experience in public health nursing practice or education among nursing faculty. A consortium of nursing educators and practicing public health nurses developed eleven population-based public health nursing competencies for entry level practice. The competencies resulted from a thorough review and analysis of existing standards and competencies for public health nursing practice by nursing educators and public health nurses (PHNs) in practice. To respond to the challenges of educating a public health nursing workforce for the future, educators and PHN practitioners worked in partnership to develop an evidence-based clinical manual organized by population-based entry level competencies required for entry into public health nursing practice. The manual reflects a consensus of public health nursing faculty and practicing PHNs. Manual features include: 1) population-based learning activities organized by competency, 2) use of an evidence-based model that incorporates all levels of evidence, 3) a systematic approach to reflective learning threaded through all learning experiences, and 4) scenarios of interest to nursing students developed in each competency chapter. Scenarios of evidence-based practice and learning experiences were developed through a writing partnership with agency staff and schools of nursing. The authors recommend that nursing programs evaluate the way they are providing clinical education in public health nursing. Is the clinical curriculum competency-driven, evidence-based, and consistent with recognized practice standards and the needs of populations and agencies in the 21st century? This session will present strategies for public health nursing clinical education and competency-based learning experiences for nursing students.

- ItemEffects of cognitive behavioral therapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor protocol on generalized anxiety disorderMcClanahan, Alesha E.; Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana, USA; Zeta
An evidence-based protocol, including the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) bibliotherapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication, was implemented among adults diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in order to assess the protocol's effectiveness on anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, change in GAD status, acceptability, and patient satisfaction.
- ItemThe experience of chief nurses in military operations other than warTurner, Martha H.; Crisham, Patricia; Tau Theta; Zeta
The purpose of this research was to describe the experience of chief nurses in military operations other than war. The study is significant to the profession because nurses will continue to provide care in humanitarian operations, peacekeeping missions and disaster relief efforts. Inquiry into the experience will lead to an understanding of the foundations of the global caregiving community. Hermeneutic phenomenology provided a description and thematic interpretation of the meaning of the experience. Purposeful sampling yielded thirteen participants, eleven women and two men. Duration of the deployments ranged from 3-7 months. Sites included Saudi Arabia, Oman, Panama, Cuba, Somalia, Guam, Croatia, England and Turkey. Purposes of the missions varied from peace keeping to humanitarian relief. Interviews were conducted using core questions developed as a guide. Audiotapes were transcribed and analyzed using procedures adapted from Colaizzi (1978), Van Manen (1990) and illuminated by Ray (1990). Significant statements were identified in the text, meanings were formulated then gathered into 60 interpretive clusters. Reflecting and rereading led to the emergence of the themes which constituted the fundamental structure and the essential themes. Three metathemes and the unity of meaning in the experience were identified. The fundamental structure of the experience was the deployment trajectory with five themes: preparing, arriving, living, working, and leaving. Further analysis revealed five essential themes: paradox, leadership, caring, knowing and the true military. Lifeword existentials of space, time, body and relationship were used as guides for reflection and development of a comprehensive description of the experience. The metathemes were authenticity, imaginative awareness and pride. The unity of meaning is expressed in the metaphor, The True Military: Performing Live Theatre. This phenomenological study captured the experience of the chief nurses. It revealed the challenges of leadership and tremendous pride getting the job done. These nurses were proud of their participation in an authentic experience where imaginative awareness enabled them to identify and respond to the challenges they encountered as nurse leaders. Further areas for research suggested by this study include topics in nursing practice and nursing administration. Several examples are presented which reflect individual, operational, multinational and multicultural issues.
- ItemExploring nurse managers' views about the practice of compassion in the USAagard, Magdeline C.; Walden University, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Zeta
Nurse leaders from the U.S. were surveyed regarding compassion. Data were analyzed for themes through content analysis revealing compassion is showing empathy, care and concern; create opportunities to listen to and interact with staff; barriers to providing and receiving compassion from staff; and being culturally sensitive with staff.
- ItemExploring risk behaviors in Ugandan adolescents living in rural fishing communitiesSaftner, Melissa; McMorris, Barbara; Ngabirano, Tom Denis; University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Zeta
The purpose of this study is to explore risk behaviors in adolescents living in four Ugandan fishing communities/villages as a foundation for developing future interventions and programs to reduce risk behaviors and HIV/AIDs transmission. Jessor’s (1987, 1991) Problem Behavior Theory (PBT) and Bronfenbrenner’s (1977) ecological model guide this study. Data collection occurred in four villages located within Queen Elizabeth National Park with shorelines on Lake Edward or Lake George. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is an annual survey by the Centers for Disease Control. The YRBS was developed in 1990 to better understand health and risk behaviors in adolescents (CDC, 2016) For this project, the YRBS was modified by the study team to reflect the common risk behaviors in fishing communities. Results: a) substance use is limited to primarily alcohol; b) forced sexual contact is prevalent, particularly among young women; c) condom use is not consistent; d) HIV is prevalent in the community as most reported a family member with HIV; and e) HIV transmission knowledge is lacking. These preliminary findings support the need for additional research and intervention.
- ItemExploring the perceptions of cardiovascular disease risk among Mexican-American women with type II diabetes(2016-07-13) Florez, Elizabeth; Villaverde, Elizabeth; DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois, USA; Zeta
Session presented on Thursday, July 21, 2016 and Friday, July 22, 2016:
Purpose: Latinos are twice as likely than non-Latinos to have diabetes and two out of three people with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke. The prevalence of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) related death among adults with diabetes is two to four times higher than those without diabetes. However, there is little known about the perceptions of CVD risk among Mexican-American women with type II diabetes. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of diabetes and CVD risk among Mexican-American women living with type II diabetes.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive method was used to conduct this study. A convenience sample of six Mexican-American women with diabetes type II were recruited from a Midwest suburban church. Participants completed a one-time semi-structured interview. Demographic information was collected and level of acculturation was measured. Spanish transcripts were transcribed via a committee approach and were analyzed for overall themes based on participants' responses.
Results: Two major themes emerged related to their perceptions of living with type II diabetes; difficulty in controlling diabetes and impact on daily living. An interesting theme that was constantly mentioned was emotions. All six participants reported they are at risk for a CVD, but only four reported ways to reduce their risk for a CVD. Only four participants reported diabetes type II as a risk factor for CVD. Participants lacked knowledge about CVD risk factors and symptoms of heart attack and stroke.
Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest that more education is needed about diabetes type II, CVD risk factors, symptoms of a heart attack, and stroke. Mexican-American women with type II diabetes are at greater risk for CVD complications and it is vital for healthcare providers to better understand the populations' perceptions of their diabetes and perceptions of risk for CVD to help formulate interventions that target educating diabetics about their risk for CVD.
- ItemFactors related to Mexican-American workers' use of hearing protectionKerr, Madeleine J.; Lusk, Sally L.; Zeta
Significant numbers of Mexican Americans work in jobs where they are exposed to harmful noise, therefore they are vulnerable to noise-induced hearing loss. Use of hearing protection is often the only way to prevent exposure to loud noise, yet there is no knowledge of how to promote its use among Mexican American workers. This study builds on a program of research by Lusk in which the determinants of health-protective behavior are identified in order to design effective safety programs. This study was based on a theoretical model adapted from the Health Promotion Model (Pender, 1987). A questionnaire was completed by 119 Mexican American garment workers and sixteen of those workers participated in one of two focus groups. Factors that directly influenced the use of hearing protection were Benefits of Use of Hearing Protection Minus Barriers to Use of Hearing Protection, a Clinical Conception of Health, Self-efficacy in the Use of Hearing Protection and Perceived Health Status. Educational Level influenced Self-efficacy (R$\sp2$ =.25, Adj. R$\sp2$ =.19). In an exploratory analysis, hearing protection requirement and plant site, along with three cognitive-perceptual factors; Benefits of Use of Hearing Protection Minus Barriers to Use of Hearing Protection, a Clinical Conception of Health and Perceived Health Status; were directly related to Use of Hearing Protection (R$\sp2$ =.55, Adj. R$\sp2$ =.45). These findings must be interpreted with caution due to inadequate reliability of several of the instruments. Focus group interviews provided the data to verify factors in the theoretical model and explore additional factors that could be related to use of hearing protection. Those verified in the data were Situational Influences for Use of Hearing Protection, Barriers to Use of Hearing Protection and Interpersonal Influences on Use of Hearing Protection. Additional factors fit into four themes: personal attitudes, personal experience with hearing protection, influence of noise on work, and the work environment. Directions for future research with this worker population are suggested based on the study findings. Prior to designing an intervention based on the study findings, instrument refinement and development and a further test of the model are needed.

Through an academic-practice partnership, faculty and staff implemented an Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice Council (IEBPC) to foster a healthy work environment that supports excellence in patient care. The goal of the IEBPC is to engage and empower an interprofessional team of frontline staff to collaborate in translating evidence into practice.
- ItemImproving interdisciplinary relationships in primary care with the implementation of TeamSTEPPS(2016-07-13) Siddons, Nicole M.; Zeta
Session presented on Thursday, July 21, 2016:
Healthcare organizations face many diverse challenges, perhaps one of the most problematic of these is the lack of interdisciplinary collaboration plaguing healthcare. This issue results in serious complications with the safety and quality of care (IOM, 1999). One example depicting ineffective collaboration among healthcare teams occurred in an urban Midwest United States city, where a Native American community clinic recently transformed their care model by adding registered nurses to their team. As a result, issues with interprofessional collaboration and teamwork arose threatening healthcare outcomes and employee engagement. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System (1999) shows that errors often occur due to lapses in teamwork including collaboration, partnership, and team communication. The amount of evidence to support these claims has grown exponentially since this sentinel report. Yet, there is data that suggests healthcare organizations may be able to turn this undesirable trend around. Evidence indicates that when patients are taken care of by collaborative interprofessional teams, they are safer, receive a higher quality of care, and are more satisfied with the care they receive (Eisler & Potter, 2014; IOM, 2001). Additionally, employee satisfaction and engagement improve when there is effective interprofessional collaboration (Eisler & Potter, 2014). According to the World Health Organization [WHO] (2010), collaborative practice can improve access and coordination of health services, appropriate use of specialist resources, chronic disease outcomes, patient care and safety, patient satisfaction, and caregiver satisfaction. The WHO (2010) also shares that collaborative practice can decrease the total patient complaints and complications, redundant testing, length of stay, mortality and morbidity, clinical error rates, hospitalizations, staff turn over, and tension and conflict among staff. The consequences attributable to a lack of collaboration among healthcare professionals are very serious and often detrimental. Yet, the prospect of effective collaboration and partnership yields hope. The poor outcomes resulting from the absence of teamwork are simply unacceptable. It is essential that healthcare organizations strive to promote, educate, and maintain effective and efficient interdisciplinary teams (Eisler & Potter, 2014; IOM, 2001; WHO, 2010). After brainstorming, the clinic's leadership understood that the staff was in dire need of a partnership model, as well as coaching in various teamwork methods. It was necessary for staff to work effectively together in interdisciplinary teams to positively affect patient outcomes. Clinic leadership decided the time to take action was now. In 2001, the IOM issued Ten New Rules for Redesign; one of these guidelines indicates that cooperation among healthcare teams is imperative. The report states, 'Clinicians and institutions should actively collaborate and communicate to ensure an appropriate exchange of information and coordination of care' (p. 4). Joanne Disch, past president of the American Academy of Nursing reports that one of the five fundamental proficiencies necessary for healthcare professionals is the capacity to care for patients in interdisciplinary teams (Disch, 2012). Therefore, when discriminating among the various tools, it was important to utilize a tool that was based on partnership. One such tool or intervention, targeted to positively impact and optimize staff relationships and collaboration is a valid, evidence-based framework called TeamSTEPPS (AHRQ, 2008, 2010, 2014, n.d.). The acronym TeamSTEPPS signifies Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (AHRQ, 2008). This program was designed by the Department of Defense, Duke University, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, 2010). This framework offers employees a shared mental model, a way to build mutual trust, team orientation, shared goals, and a common language (AHRQ, 2008). To enrich this process, IDEO's (2015) elements of human centered design were employed to customize TeamSTEPPS for the subject clinic, as well as engage staff members in the process of shifting the organizational culture to a partnership paradigm. An innovative design was used to enhance uptake and sustainability: frontline staff was asked to play a key role in customizing the program. Each week this group met to create curriculum specific to the needs of their clinic. They utilized principles of Human Centered Design (IDEO, 2015), where empathy and understanding one another's unique needs where used to develop the TeamSTEPPS program. The implementation team then taught the clinic staff the TeamSTEPPS content that was customized. There were three, 60-minute sessions for the entire staff. Outcomes were measured with valid tools, the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (TTAQ) and the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (TTPQ), that are specific and sensitive. These tools measure teamwork beliefs and behaviors in the setting respectively. Data was collected two weeks prior to the implementation of the TeamSTEPPS curriculum and five weeks post. In addition to this pre/post intervention data, the implementation team also evaluated the organizations quality scorecards. The implementation team found that results were noteworthy, even if perhaps they were not all statistically significant. They felt there was clinical importance in all of the data. For each paradigm (team structure, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, and communication) in both the TTAQ and the TTPQ, there was positive movement. This can be appreciated in Tables 1 and 2. After breakdown of pre-test results, the team understood that the staff's teamwork attitudes were already very high, meaning there might not be any statistical differences even with improvement. The analysis of pre- and post- test results was statistically insignificant for the TTAQ. However, it was most vital to affect the interdisciplinary collaboration behaviors, which would be measured by the TTPQ. There were statistical differences in two of the five domains in the TTPQ when comparing pre- to post- test. The differences were noted in team structure and situation monitoring. Mutual support (p-value 0.081) was nearing statistical significance but did not quite meet the necessary p-value of 0.05. These results can be visualized in Table 2. The subject clinic also reports quality data related to patient outcomes on a monthly and quarterly basis through a 'quality dashboard' method. It was important to take note of any quality improvement that could be attributed to shifting the organizational culture to a partnership paradigm through TeamSTEPPS. The dashboard metrics showed that the team met and exceeded quality goals after the TeamSTEPPS partnership training for early entry into prenatal care at 97% (goal of 70%), childhood immunizations at 71.4% (goal of 65%), tobacco use intervention 91% (goal of 40%), pharmacologic treatment of asthmatics 100% (goal of 100%), hypertension management 78% (goal of 75%), diabetes screening 87% (goal of 70%), and completion of post partum exam 55% (goal of 50%). Additionally, the clinic was noticing positive movement in other quality metrics: weight assessment and counseling for children and adolescents at 24.34% (previously at 16%), ischemic vascular disease aspirin therapy 84.09% (previously at 60%), and depression screening and follow up 37.39% (previously at 28%). The subject clinic leadership felt that these improvements could be attributed to the successful implementation of TeamSTEPPS, especially due to the fact that there weren't any other interventions or communications happening during this time period. Evidence is not merely research-based statistics, but also includes expert opinion, clinical experience, local data, and the patient experience (Rycroft-Malone, 2004). The strength of this collective evidence helps to substantiate this quality improvement project. Qualitative data from leadership at the clinic point to positive results and a shift towards effective teamwork. The clinic leaders and implementation team believe that the greatest indication of the success of TeamSTEPPS is based on subjective data and the quality dashboard. Several staff members have shared observations in relation to the transformation of the clinic's culture towards that of teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration, truly shifting towards a partnership paradigm. The staff members feel that there have been many positive changes in the organizational culture. They share that this is appears to be direct reflection of TeamSTEPPS implementation, which taught the clinic staff how to partner together and become effective interdisciplinary collaborators and communicators. One of the greatest compliments the leadership received from staff was that they were pleased that every staff member was afforded the opportunity to be full partners in this process. Eisler and Potter (2014) share that equal partnership is a core component of partnership systems. The clinic staff appreciated that they were able to choose to be a part of the implementation team, where they were able to be frontline champions and leaders, as well as equal partners. Expert opinion and other quality studies align with this quality improvement project, providing a clear indication that healthcare professionals must engage in interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient outcomes and staff engagement. Again, it has become abundantly clear that healthcare organizations must commit great effort to the promotion, education, and maintenance of effective and efficient interdisciplinary teams for the advancement of healthcare and consumer health (Eisler & Potter, 2014; IOM, 2001; WHO, 2010).

- ItemA multistudy validation of an instrument for nurse job satisfaction(2015-12-07) Nelson, John W.; Persky, Georgia J.; Hozak, Mary Ann; Albu, Alice; Hinds, Pamela S.; Savik, Kay; Zeta
Objective: This study aims to validate an instrument of nurse job satisfaction, the Healthcare Environment Survey (HES), across settings and time through an organizational change.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that consisted of four phases of analysis using factor analysis to test the 59-item HES, which was initially developed in 2001 to assess nurse job satisfaction. A sample of 4,626 nurses was used from 10 unique studies that were conducted from 2006 to 2012 in four health care entities in the United States. Inclusion criteria were that the respondents had to provide direct care to patients and be permanent staff members of the entity under study.
Results: In phase 1, the principal component analysis (PCA) for each of the 10 studies revealed a 10-factor structure of nurse job satisfaction that was consistent across settings and time. Half of the sample from all 10 studies was randomly selected and reexamined in an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) that revealed a nine-factor solution using 50 items with a Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin of .96. All items loaded in the same respective factors as those of the previous PCA analyses. The EFA explained 74% of the variance. A confirmatory factor analysis of the other half of the sample confirmed the nine-factor solution, using 50 items, with the root mean square error of approximation of .056, comparative fit index of .919, and standardized root mean square residual of .042.
Discussion: The validation of this 50-item measure of job satisfaction, which is valid across settings and time, will assist in minimizing error while building models of research that include antecedents, correlates, and outcomes of nurse job satisfaction.
- ItemNurse job satisfaction research: A literature review, 2006–2011(2015-10-26) Nelson, John W.; Hozak, Mary Ann; Albu, Alice; Thiel, Linda; Zeta
Objective: This literature review aims to evaluate the state of nurse job satisfaction research by identifying the instruments and scientific rigor used to measure the latent construct of nurse job satisfaction around the globe, during the years 2006–2011.
Design: A systematic review of research articles in measurement of nurse job satisfaction.
Data Sources: Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Social Sciences Citation Index, Ingenta Connect, and Web of Science.
Review Methods: The years 2006–2011 were selected as a time frame that would provide a large number of studies from around the world and consider past measurement in nurse job satisfaction. Articles were included that identified a measure for nurse job satisfaction and sampled nurses who provided direct patient care. Language was limited to English. Fink criteria were used to create an extraction tool to score 21 scientific criteria in the measurement of nurse job satisfaction.
Results: The literature review generated 1,681 articles, from which 995 articles were selected for further review; of these, 104 unique articles addressed measurement of nurse job satisfaction using 56 unique instruments. A total of 149,905 nurses from 35 countries responded to inquiries about job satisfaction. The extraction tool revealed scores from 8.00 to 18.00 (out of 21 total possible points) with a mean score of 12.06 (s.d. 2.12). Criteria that fell below 50% across studies included inclusion criteria (6% of studies), non-responders explained (7%), missing data explained (11%), power analysis (16%), random sampling (29%), inclusion criteria (32%), analysis of instrument factor structure (34%) definition of nurse job satisfaction (48%) and use of theory or conceptual framework (49%).
Conclusions: This literature review revealed both successes and critical gaps in the research of measuring nurse job satisfaction. Identification of gaps in the scientific process of measurement of nurse job satisfaction may assist with refinement of instruments used to measure nurse job satisfaction that in turn will facilitate model specification around the globe.
