Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Simulation enhances experiential learning through creating experience to form the basis of learning, and it has been recognized as an effective pedagogy in current health professions education. As an integral element of simulation, debriefing contributes to transforming the created experience to new knowledge. Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) refers to adding audio-visual capture and review to traditional verbal debriefing (VD). Despite being regarded as ‘gold standard’ for simulation, evidence reporting educational effects of VAD is mixed and its best practice remains absent. Aims: The aims of this thesis were to develop a framework for VAD, to test and compare its effects on prelicensure nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities and nursing competencies with VD without video, as well as to explore its potential impact on facilitators’ perceptions and practices following high-fidelity simulation. Design and methods: This thesis comprised of four studies with different research designs. Study I was a systematic review which synthesized the characteristics of existing VAD practices in health professions education and evaluated its effectiveness on learners’ reactions, learning and behaviors. Study II was a proof-of-concept study which developed of a three-phase framework for VAD and tested its preliminary effects on nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities, and nursing competencies using a pretest-posttest design. Study III adopted a qualitative method to explore nursing students’ experiences and perspectives of a structured VAD using focus groups. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis approach. Study IV employed a mixed-method research design to investigate the impact of a three-phase VAD on nursing students’ debriefing experiences, perceived stress, as well as facilitators’ perceptions and debriefing practices. Results: Study I showed that existing VAD offered comparable educational effects as VD in terms of learners’ experiences, attitudes, and performance, except on knowledge acquisition. Video did not demonstrate its continuous advantage in debriefing, which informed the absence of best practice. The preliminary results of Study II reported that a three-phase VAD significantly improved students’ debriefing experiences (p<0.001), reflective abilities (p<0.01), and nursing competencies (p<0.001). Study III disclosed an emotional roller coaster experienced by nursing students in VAD, from unwillingness and fear of being judged, followed by stress and defensiveness, to sense of appreciation and satisfaction. Most students agreed that VAD provided a good learning experience with few preferred not to receive peer feedback after video review. Study IV demonstrated that VAD improved nursing students’ debriefing experiences (p=0.01) and caused comparable stress as VD. Repeated exposure to VAD significantly reduced stress levels. VAD also enhanced facilitators’ perceptions and debriefing practices. Conclusions: This project developed a three-phase framework for VAD, and affirmed its educational effects on improving nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities, and competencies following high fidelity simulation, with comparable stress experienced as in VD. The finding of an emotional roller coaster experienced by nursing students in VAD challenged the snapshot of negative emotions reported in other studies, offering some clarity to the inconsistent evidence regarding learners’ experiences of VAD and contributing to its best practice. This thesis also proved that this three-phase VAD held the potential to enhance facilitators’ debriefing practices towards student-centered learning. Bakgrund: Att simulera olika vårdsituationer är idag en väl använd pedagogisk metod inom hälsoutbildningarna eftersom erfarenheten av att träna simulering kan förbättra inlärningen. Debriefing ingår som en integrerad del i simuleringen och bidrar till att omvandla erfarenheten till kunskap. Video-assisterad debriefing innebär att simuleringssituationen filmas och filmen används sedan i debriefingen. Trots att det är vanligt att använda video-assisterad debriefing är bevisen för att det är bättre än debriefing utan video oklara. Syfte: Syftet med denna avhandling var att utveckla en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing att använda i samband med simulering på sjuksköterskeutbildningen. Att sedan testa den på sjuksköterskestudenter för att se om den påverkade deras debriefing erfarenhet, reflektionsförmåga och omvårdnadskompetens jämfört med sjuksköterskestudenter som erhöll debriefing utan video. Syftet var också att utforska handledarnas uppfattning och genomförande av video-assisterad debriefing i samband med simulering. Design och Metod: Avhandlingen består av fyra studier med olika design. Studie 1 var en systematisk litteraturstudie där 23 artiklar innehållande tidigare erfarenheter av videoassisterad debriefing från hälsoutbildningar granskades och syntetiserades. I studie 2 utvecklades en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing i tre faser som sedan testades på sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=63) debriefing erfarenhet, reflektionsförmåga och omvårdnadskompetens genom en före-efter design. I studie 3 användes en kvalitativ design för att med hjälp av fokusgrupper utforska sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=27) erfarenheter av att använda video-assisterad debriefing. Studie 4 var en mixed-methods studie som undersökte betydelsen av en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing jämfört med debriefing utan video på sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=145) debriefing erfarenhet och uppfattning av stress i samband med debriefingen. I studie 4 undersöktes även handledarnas (n=8) uppfattningar och genomförande av video-assisterad debriefing. Resultat: Studie 1 visade att video-assisterad debriefing var jämförbart med debriefing utan video vad det gäller erfarenheter, attityder och genomförande men var inte bättre vad det gäller förvärvande av ny kunskap. Resultaten från studie 2 visade att den strukturerade videoassisterade debriefingen signifikant förbättrade sjuksköterskestudenternas debriefing erfarenhet (p<0,001), reflektionsförmåga (p<0,01) och omvårdnadskompetens (p<0,001). Studie 3 visade att strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing var som en emotionell bergodalbana
Download or read book The Effectiveness of the Human Patient Simulator in Teaching Anesthesia Pharmacology to First Year Nurse Anesthesia Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, the principles and practices of anesthesia have been taught using seminars and lectures to supplement clinical training. There is no substitute for case-based experience; however, recent innovations in computer technology provide high fidelity, realistic simulators, which are being used in many anesthesia programs. Research using simulation technology analyzes its use as an evaluation tool in the assessment of competence and human performance; however, there is a need to better define the role for simulation-based programs in professional nurse anesthesia education. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating the anesthesia patient simulator with the traditional lecture in nurse anesthesia education. The study measured the potential benefits of knowledge assimilation and retention using the human patient simulator (HPS) in an anesthesia pharmacology course compared to the traditional classroom approach. The sample group for this study consisted of GSN nurse anesthesia students enrolled at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. Outcome measures included the completion of a twenty item pre-test to measure each student s baseline knowledge prior to participating in a 1.5- hour pharmacology teaching session. Knowledge retention was measured by the results of each student s 20-item post examination scores. Comparison data of the pre and post-examination scores within each teaching group was analyzed using a paired t-test. An independent t-test was used to statistically analyze the absolute difference in learning between using Likert type items, and additional open-ended items, exploring student expectations, course strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations for future courses. Knowledge equivalence was shown in the two groups, with baseline pretest scores showing no statistic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care systems worldwide are faced with the challenge of improving the quality of care. Providing evidence from health research is necessary but not sufficient for the provision of optimal care and so knowledge translation (KT), the scientific study of methods for closing the knowledge-to-action gap and of the barriers and facilitators inherent in the process, is gaining significance. Knowledge Translation in Health Care explains how to use research findings to improve health care in real life, everyday situations. The authors define and describe knowledge translation, and outline strategies for successful knowledge translation in practice and policy making. The book is full of examples of how knowledge translation models work in closing the gap between evidence and action. Written by a team of authors closely involved in the development of knowledge translation this unique book aims to extend understanding and implementation worldwide. It is an introductory guide to an emerging hot topic in evidence-based care and essential for health policy makers, researchers, managers, clinicians and trainees.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
Download or read book Effective Interprofessional Education written by Della S. Freeth and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a practical guide to the development, application and evaluation of effective interprofessional education in health and social care. It is both a practice manual for those in hands-on roles and a reflective guide for those indirectly involved in professional education. The book provides clear advice on methods of establishing training and education programmes and evaluating their effectiveness, while simultaneously examining the relationship between initial application, ongoing maintenance and subsequent assessment. The authors expound multiple points of view that will generate individual thinking and approaches to both the practice and the estimation of interprofessional education schemes. The book is divided into three sections: the first introduces the differing approaches to professional education and the rationale behind measuring their worth; the second part focuses on planning, development and delivery; the third part advises in a robust and pragmatic way on modes of measuring the efficacy of programmes. The interrelation of these topics is then examined to provide a synthesised perspective on the development, delivery and evaluation of interprofessional education.
Download or read book Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-03-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today in the United States, the professional health workforce is not consistently prepared to provide high quality health care and assure patient safety, even as the nation spends more per capita on health care than any other country. The absence of a comprehensive and well-integrated system of continuing education (CE) in the health professions is an important contributing factor to knowledge and performance deficiencies at the individual and system levels. To be most effective, health professionals at every stage of their careers must continue learning about advances in research and treatment in their fields (and related fields) in order to obtain and maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills in caring for their patients. Many health professionals regularly undertake a variety of efforts to stay up to date, but on a larger scale, the nation's approach to CE for health professionals fails to support the professions in their efforts to achieve and maintain proficiency. Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions illustrates a vision for a better system through a comprehensive approach of continuing professional development, and posits a framework upon which to develop a new, more effective system. The book also offers principles to guide the creation of a national continuing education institute.
Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of Two Teaching Strategies to Improve Nursing Students Knowledge Skills and Attitudes in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety written by Karen Lynn Maxwell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published a report To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, which found that 44,000-98,000 people die as a result of preventable medical errors each year. Following this report in 2005, the Quality and Safety for Nurses (QSEN) project was established which defined a set of six core competencies that all nursing students should possess at graduation. Since the IOM report and the establishment of QSEN, nurse educators have been challenged with discovering effective teaching strategies to infuse the QSEN competencies into the nursing curricula. The purpose of the quantitative, pretest/post-test control group design study was to examine at the effectiveness of two teaching strategies, online modules in conjunction with a flipped classroom discussion seminar (experimental group) versus online modules only (control group), on baccalaureate-nursing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the quality improvement (QI) and safety QSEN competencies. The online modules utilized in the study were developed by a group of experts through the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Data were collected and analyzed using a sample of 64 senior baccalaureate-nursing students from one university in the southeastern United States that completed a web-based pre-test and post-test instrument with items adapted from two existing tools measuring QSEN competences. Two MANOVA analysis used to examine group differences demonstrated a statistically significant similar omnibus effect (p=.028) between the experimental group and the control group for knowledge, comfort of skills, and attitudes. A MANOVA examining group differences between the experimental group and the control group on knowledge, comfort with skills, and attitudes of patient safety was not statistically significant (p=.59).

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Download or read book Keeping Patients Safe written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-27 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.
