This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care profession, with 3 million registered nurses in the United States. Nurses work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, public health centers, schools, and homes, and provide a continuum of services, including direct patient care, health promotion, patient education, and coordination of care. They serve in leadership roles, are researchers, and work to improve health care policy. As the health care system undergoes transformation due in part to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the nursing profession is making a wide-reaching impact by providing and affecting quality, patient-centered, accessible, and affordable care. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which made a series of recommendations pertaining to roles for nurses in the new health care landscape. This current report assesses progress made by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/AARP Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action and others in implementing the recommendations from the 2010 report and identifies areas that should be emphasized over the next 5 years to make further progress toward these goals.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. 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 Digital Social Work written by Lauri Goldkind and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a rapidly advancing technological culture, social work practitioners are frequently challenged to invent new strategies to meet client needs and foster social change. Despite the Council on Social Work Education's new standards for technology in social work practice, few schools of social work teach the use of technology for practice, and many instructors struggle with the integration of this increasingly necessary dimension into education. Digital Social Work is designed to offer engaging, meaningful, and easy-to-use technology content that can be incorporated into generalist and advanced social work practice courses. The chapters in this volume offer instructors and students insight into the knowledge, skills, and values required of those who practice social work 2.0; by providing concrete examples of technology tools, they complement traditional social work curricula dealing with micro, mezzo, and macro systems. Chapters can be used singly--to augment Practice, Research, or Policy courses--or can provide a format to discuss technology in courses addressing practice with individuals, youth, and families. Virtual worlds, social media, GIS, blogs, and many other technology tools are represented in this collection.
Download or read book Nurse Educators and the Care of Older Persons written by Kelly Ann Negrin and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Upon graduation, nursing students continue to be ill-prepared in gerontological nursing care and lack a desire to work with older persons. Although nurse educators are expected to facilitate students' learning about how to provide appropriate older person care, they lack expertise to influence students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes. There is limited empirical evidence that elucidates the barriers and supports influencing nurse educators' development of proficiency in this area. Nursing education culture has not yet been explored for its possible influence on capacity building of educators prepared in gerontological nursing. Purpose: The purpose of this dissertation is three-fold: (1) to identify and synthesize literature about factors affecting nurse educators' knowledge, skills or attitudes about older persons and their care; (2) to understand the culture of a university-based, pre-licensure nursing education program in a Western Canadian province in relation to nurse educators building expertise in gerontological nursing; and (3) to explore why recruitment to a focused ethnography study was successful in engaging numerous nurse educators, researchers, and administrators to volunteer within three months of study initiation. Methods: This dissertation contains three related papers with different methods used in each manuscript: (1) an integrative review to identify the factors that affect pre-licensure nurse educators' knowledge, skills or attitudes about older persons and their care; (2) a focused ethnography to explore the cultural context of a pre-licensure nursing education program in relation to nurse educators' expertise in gerontological nursing; and (3) a critical reflection on the successful recruitment of participants to this focused ethnographic inquiry. Findings: For the integrative review, 44 articles met the inclusion criteria. Thirteen papers reported empirical studies that addressed, in some way, factors influencing nurse educators' preparation in older person care. The remaining articles were defined as discussion papers. More rigorous studies are necessary to expand the evidence base. The literature chronicled barriers and supports for capacity building of educators in gerontological nursing. Supports included external funding and professional regulatory frameworks. Barriers included nursing administrators' negative attitudes toward older persons; the constrained budgets of educational institutions; ageism among educators; and a lack of awareness of gerontological nursing as a specialty and of professional development resources addressing older persons and their care. The focused ethnography offered further insight about what constrains or encourages professional development of nurse educators in older person care. Nursing education culture in one pre-licensure nursing program was characterized by a hierarchical structure among the various categories of faculty, which impeded gerontology experts' support for undergraduate educators and for curricular revision. An integrated curriculum diminished the focus on gerontology. Limited professional development opportunities and excessive workloads constrained educators from building gerontology expertise. Valuing older persons and their care influenced the likelihood that educators would pursue preparation in gerontological nursing and affected access to gerontology resources. The critical reflection on recruitment revealed four themes contributing to successful enrollment to the focused ethnography study: laying the groundwork, recruitment plan, building rapport, and participant motivations. Understanding what motivates those who agree to participate in such research is an important contribution to the literature. Conclusions: There continues to be a lack of educators with sufficient preparation in gerontological nursing to educate future generations of nurses to deliver quality care to older persons. Further expansion of the empirical literature on the barriers and facilitators influencing nurse educators' expertise in older person care is needed. This dissertation research suggests that nursing education culture may influence educators' preparation in older person care. Further study of this phenomenon in other nursing academic settings is warranted. Once a robust evidence base is developed about what constrains or supports capacity building, further research could be conducted that leads to the identification and testing of strategies to prepare a nurse educator workforce adept in teaching future nurses to provide quality nursing care to older persons. There is also opportunity for future research to understand what motivates research participants to volunteer, and to identify the relative efficacy of various recruitment strategies.
