Patients are often confronted with their own mortality while receiving these treatments. Some medical interventions can also leave patients unable to communicate or orient themselves to hospital staff and their surroundings. Therefore, patients are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are current post intensive care unit (ICU), PTSD treatments available, however research shows that incorporating ICU diaries as an intervention can reduce PTSD rates after discharge.Item Impact of Health Education Using the Teach-Back Method on Self-Care in Adults with Heart Failure(2024-12-09) Priebe de Cano, CarissaThe current prevalence of heart failure in the United States is 6.7 million, while the projected prevalence is 8.5 million by 2030. The average client with heart failure has poorer self-care status than the acceptable norm, yet self-care is the foundation of treatment and the key to improved outcomes and reduced disease burden in heart failure. Nurses providing health education can help clients with heart failure learn and perform adequate self-care using the teach-back method, a method recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research that has been shown to improve self-care in clients with chronic health conditions, including heart failure. Thus, the following nurse-driven clinical question was developed: Among adults with heart failure, how does health education using the teach-back method compared to the traditional didactic method affect self-care? Evidence searches yielded seven studies examining the impact of health education using the teach-back method on self-care in clients with heart failure. Six of the seven analyzed studies concluded that health education interventions using the teach-back method were associated with improved self-care in clients with heart failure. Thus, while not always effective, health education using the teach-back method is an evidence-based practice that can improve self-care in adults with heart failure.Item Breastfeeding and Maternal Postpartum Blood Pressures(2024-12-09) Ridenour, BrandiItem Expanding Nursing School Enrollment through Innovative Partnerships: The Academy of Clinical Education Program (ACE)(2024-12-05) Edwards, Lori A.; McElroy, Katie; Buc, Hannah MurphyItem Transforming Nursing Informatics Education: Redesigning Our Master's Program to Align with AACN Competency-Based Essentials(2024-09-26) Fisher, Cheryl A.; Seckman, Charlotte A.; Kelemen, Arpad (Arpad G.); Opoku-Agyemang, Ernest; Van de Castle, Barbara; Stephens, Cory; Nahm, Eun-ShimItem Cultivating a community of belonging through development of The Restorative Justice Student Leadership Program(2024-09-27) Buc, Hannah Murphy; Conyers, YvetteItem Factors Associated With Physical Function in Adults With Fibromyalgia(2024-10-16) Lashley, HeatherItem Implementing a Multifaceted Approach to Improve Shingrix Uptake in a Primary Care(2024-05-10) Tiku, Getnet; Bullock, Lynn Marie ElizabethItem Improving the CHildbirth Options, Information and person-Centered Explanation (CHOICEs) tool, a patient-reported experience measure of shared decision-making in maternity care(2024-07-07) Blankstein Breman, Rachel; Goh, AmyItem Impact of Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Interventions on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use: A field Report from North-Cenral Nigeria(2024-06-27) Adejumo, Oluremi A.; Ogunbiyi, Elizabeth O.; Chen, LynnItem Protective effects of testosterone on pain and implications for treatment expectancy(2024-05-30) White, Jewel N.; Bellei-Rodriguez, Carmen-Edith; Kaushik, Avni; Han, Angela; Wang, Yang; Colloca, LuanaItem Implementing a Penicillin Allergy Evaluation Tool to Improve Cefazolin Administration in Orthopedic Surgery Patients(2024-05-10) Jean-Louis, Jessica; Watson, Melissa D.N.P., C.R.N.A.; Regan, Mary J.; Hochstein, StevenItem Enhancing Patient Safety: Preventing Pressure Injuries from Respiratory Device Use in Hospitalized Patients(2024-05-07) Gug, SeeunPressure injuries resulting from the use of respiratory devices during intubation pose a significant challenge in hospitalized patients, leading to morbidity and increased healthcare costs. This scholarly poster examines evidence-based interventions aimed at preventing pressure injuries associated with endotracheal and nasotracheal tubes. A systematic review and meta-analysis, along with four randomized controlled trials and a retrospective observational study, were analyzed. The findings suggest that interventions such as endotracheal tube stabilization with bandage fixation, barrier dressings, and endotracheal tube fasteners significantly reduce the incidence of pressure injuries. However, the complexity of patient outcomes underscores the need for tailored preventive strategies. Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs) play a pivotal role in integrating evidence-based practices into nursing care, advocating for patient-centered approaches, and leading quality improvement initiatives. Moving forward, further research is needed to develop standardized risk assessment tools and advance pressure injury prevention strategies.Item Quality Improvement Project Improving Bedside Shift Report Compliance to Impact Patient Outcomes(2024-05-10) Marashi, Zena; Yarbrough, Karen L.; Weston, RebeccaItem Efficacy of Mindfulness-based Interventions in Reducing Nurse Burnout(2024-05-07) Conyette, KamaraItem Development and Implementation of an Agitation Management Guideline to Reduce Agitation in Patients with Acute Traumatic Brain Injury(2024-05-21) McQuillan, Karen A.; Pajoumand, Mehrnaz; Stenzel, Alivia; Delauter, Katelyn; Madren, Amy; Byrne, Linda; Memphis, Karen; Thurman, Paul; Schwartzbauer, Gary; Hunt, Alexandra; Marks, Madeline; Latorre, Samantha; Braun, Robynne; Wright, Megan
