Prepaing Nursing Faculty for Next Generation NCLEX: An Interactive Workshop
Get PDFAbstract
Objective: The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) launched the next- generation NCLEX (NGN) in April 2023. Pre-licensure nursing faculty are unprepared for the change in teaching and evaluating nursing students\u27 clinical judgment skills. Method: This was a quantitative workshop intervention with a pre-post survey. Intervention: Two-hour online and in-person workshops were held between August and October 2022 on how to create unfolding case studies following NCSBN’s clinical judgment measurement model. A template was created for use by participants, with samples to follow along. Results: There was a significant difference
in preparedness and confidence in those who attended the 2-hour workshop. Using a paired t-test, the means of the pre-NGSE-M scores [M=30.47, SD= 5.234, N= 57] were significantly different from the post scores [M= 35.33, SD= 3.823, N= 57], t(56) = -4.860, p = .000. Conclusion: Workshops were a positive way to increase confidence, preparedness, and networking opportunities among nursing faculty preparing students for NGN.

Nutritional Medicine: Education For Advanced Practice Providers
Get PDFAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The project\u27s primary goal was to educate the APP and develop positive attitudes and beliefs concerning plant-based nutrition regarding obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The project addressed a crucial gap in healthcare education. APPs were not routinely given the chance to learn nutritional medicine, leading to decreased confidence in providing nutritional guidance in clinical practice.
METHODS: The DNP project participants were practicing advanced practice providers. The Knowledge, Attitude, Behavior (KAB) education theory and CREATION Life were used. This project used Qualtrics to send a pre-and post-intervention survey titled Student Survey for Nutritional Medicine. The intervention was a prerecorded nutritional medicine course covering the benefits of a whole- food/plant-based diet, practical solutions for common misconceptions regarding plant nutrition, and resources for further education.
RESULTS: A total of 10 participants completed the pre-and-post intervention survey. The data was analyzed using a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results showed a positive change of attitude in discussing whole-food/plant-based diets regarding obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, along with an interest in learning more about nutritional medicine.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study showcase the need for continued education and training in nutritional medicine for advanced practice providers. It also shows the critical role of education in shaping advanced practice providers\u27 attitudes and behaviors, promoting improved patient outcomes through evidence-based nutritional practices
Academic Stress And Anxiety In Nursing Students: An Aerobic Exercise Intervention
Get PDFAbstract
Background: The demands of rigorous nursing education programs often cause students to experience high levels of stress and anxiety during their schooling. Moderate to high academic stress and anxiety levels impact nursing students around the world. This is significant as academic stress and anxiety contribute to decreased academic success, program completion, and student health.
Local Problem: Students at Kettering College and Southern Adventist University were found to have moderate academic stress and anxiety using the SNSI and GAD-7.
Intervention: Participants (N = 24) engaged in a 4-week aerobic-exercise intervention. They were required to complete a minimum of 80 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise of their choice each week. Pre-test and post-test data were collected.
Results: Statistically and clinically significant decreases were found in SNSI (p = .009, Hedge’s G = 0.954, 95% CI [0.1147–1.720]) and GAD-7 (p = .025, Hedge’s G = 0.747, 95% CI [0.003–1.453]) scores among completers (n = 8). Additionally, significant decreases were seen in three out of four SNSI subscales (academic load, clinical concerns, interface worries). On average, completers reported weekly exercise durations that exceeded the required 80 minutes, with an average of 226 minutes per week.
Conclusion: Aerobic exercise produced a statistically and clinically significant decrease in stress and anxiety among completers. The small sample size and high attrition rates point to a need for future research that takes into consideration the lessons learned in this project.

Association of Intergenerational Interactions on Emotional Wellbeing
No full textBackground
Since Covid-19, there has been a tendency to isolate and keep to oneself. In an effort to decrease loneliness, evidence has found that wisdom can be a protective factor for loneliness (Jeste et al., 2021). Older adults who were either married or cohabiting and were well educated reported feeling fairly to very happy (Tan et al., 2019). Some additional factors associated with happiness were older age and a postgraduate degree (Isaac et al., 2021). There are benefits of intergenerational interactions with people with wisdom (Zhong et al., 2020). This study explored participants\u27 socialization, loneliness, and intergenerational interactions.
Methods
This study utilized a mixed method design to explore participants\u27 lived experiences. A convenience sample was used with the majority of the 665 participants being nursing students. Data was collected via an online survey utilizing Google Forms. The survey link was emailed and participants could complete the survey on an electronic device. For those who preferred pen and paper, a paper survey was made available to them. The data populated Google Sheets for ease of access for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were conducted on the quantitative data and thematic analysis was conducted on the qualitative data.
Results
Just over half (51%) of the respondents said they were fairly to very social. The overwhelming majority (88%) self-reported that they were not or occasionally lonely. When asked about intergenerational interactions, the themes that emerged were in-frequent and frequent interactions.
Implications
As children of God, it is our opportunity and responsibility to share our Father’s love with those whom we come in contact with. One way we can do this is to reach out and connect with people in our sphere of influence. God created us to be in relationships and educating our students and parishioners to connect with others is a wonderful way to witness and share God’s love. Intergenerational interactions can enhance the wellbeing of the giver and the receiver
