Book excerpt: The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the perceptions of senior baccalaureate degree nursing students towards nurse practitioners (NPs), and whether or not they were planning on furthering their careers by becoming NP's. This study was carried out by having 100 senior baccalaureate nursing students complete a modified version of the Cline 1995 Questionnaire, of which 93 questionnaires were returned. The students completed the questionnaire one month prior to graduation. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 100% of the students have heard of the term Nurse Practitioner. The results also showed that the students have varied views on what services a nurse practitioner should perform or be allowed to perform. Last the study showed that approximately 30% of the students planned on becoming some type of advanced practice nurse, specifically, a nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, or nurse midwife.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ageism is prevalent in society and healthcare. Research has shown that nurses and nursing students do not prefer to care for older adults. With the percentage of older adults increasing, by 2030 one in five Americans will be over the age of 65. The current nursing shortage is increasing as the population increases. This growth in the older adult population will further increase the demand for nurses. Although many related studies have not been conducted in the United States, results are conflicting whether nursing students enter their education with negative attitudes towards the older adult or if they develop negative attitudes during the education and socialization process. Little is known regarding the effect of gender on these attitudes. The purpose of this study was to compare sophomore and senior baccalaureate nursing students’ attitudes toward older adults, using a cross-sectional comparative descriptive design. The convenience sample included all sophomore and senior baccalaureate nursing students at a Midwest university in the United States. Of the possible 179 students, 177 chose to participate, and this study was completed prior to the sophomores attending any clinical experiences. Attitudes were measured using the Kogan’s Attitude Toward Old People Scale (KATOP) and Work Preference Ranking. On the KATOP scale, both sophomore and senior nursing students had very positive attitudes toward older adults. As most research has shown nursing students having negative attitudes on this scale, this study was not consistent with the literature. Related to work preference ranking, most of the literature shows nursing students ranking caring for older adults low upon entering a nursing program, with these rankings becoming more negative over time. This study showed that although students consistently preferred to care for populations other than older adults, there was no statistical difference between sophomore and senior students’ attitudes toward older adults. Gender had no effect on attitudes toward older adults on the KATOP or work preference rankings. This study did show statistical significance for students who had previous experience caring for older adults compared to students with no experience. Students with this experience were more likely to rank caring for older adults more favorably. This study will add to the body of literature in the United States regarding nursing students’ attitudes towards older adults by showing that although nursing students do not prefer to care for older adults compared with other patient populations, their attitudes toward this age group are very positive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caring has been identified as an important quality in nursing that needs to be recognized and nurtured within its framework. The problem under study was how senior-level baccalaureate nursing students perceived the level of caring by their faculty. Nurse educators are in a situation where modeling, dialogue, and practice are a confirmation of caring and influence for nursing students. If it is assumed that caring is a significant part of nursing, then finding the elements of caring within the teaching process as well as in the curriculum content are important. The conceptual framework utilized in this study was Watson's theory of human care. The Organizational Climate for Caring Questionnaire was given to 102 senior-level nursing students at Boise State University and Idaho State University. The sub-scores of the questionnaire were calculated, and means, standard deviations, and minimum and maximum scores reported. Means for the subscales are as follows: modeling (4.16), dialogue (3.86), practice (4.29), and confirmation/affirmation (4.09). These means reflected that the students only slightly agreed that they felt their faculty were caring. This is a concern. Reliability for the subscales was reported using Cronbach's alpha: modeling (0.94), dialogue (0.91), practice (0.86), and confirmation/affirmation (0.92). Future areas of research include how faculty perceive their behavior as caring and whether faculty can learn caring techniques that will enhance student learning. Caring also needs to be incorporated into the nursing curriculum early in education and supported throughout.

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.

This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive of its kind, this classic resource in the field of nursing theory provides an in-depth look at 49 theorists of historical, international, and significant importance. Each chapter features a clear, consistent presentation of a key nursing philosophy or theory. Case studies and critical thinking activities help bridge the gap between theory and application. A case study at the end of each theorist chapter puts the theory into a larger perspective, helping you understand how the information can be applied to practice. A Major Concepts & Definitions box in each theorist chapter outlines and summarizes the theory’s most significant ideas and clarifies content-specific vocabulary. Each theorist chapter concludes with an extensive bibliography outlining numerous primary and secondary sources of information ideal for research projects. Critical Thinking Activities at the end of each theorist chapter challenge you to process the theory presented and apply it to personal and hypothetical practice situations. Introductory chapters provide you with a strong foundation in the history and philosophy of science, logical reasoning, and the theory development process. Diagrams for theories help you visualize and better understand inherently abstract concepts. Each theorist chapter is written by a scholar specializing in that particular theorist’s work — often an individual who has worked closely with the theorist. Most chapters have been reviewed and edited by the theorist for currency and accuracy, further validating the accounts set forth in the text. Theorist birth (and if applicable, death) dates help you place each individual into a time context. A new chapter introduces the theorist Afaf Meleis and covers her Transition Theory that has helped shape the theoretical development of nursing. Points for further study at the end of each chapter direct you to assets available for additional information. Need to know information is highlighted in at-a-glance summary boxes throughout to help you quickly review key concepts. Personal quotes from the theorists help you gain insight and make each complex theory more memorable. Updated references include only published works to ensure accuracy and credibility.
