Development of an Evidence-Based CRNA Preceptor Training Program
Get PDFA preceptor is an experienced clinician who is expected to facilitate a student\u27s learning experience. Preceptorship is the relationship between a staff nurse and student, focusing on the development of clinical skills and knowledge. Initially introduced by Florence Nightingale in the 1800s, the concept was quickly adopted by nurse anesthetists and is a staple of the anesthesia practice today. As it stands, many Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) preceptors do not receive formal training in their role, which may lead to a decrease in teaching ability and confidence to face broad teaching-learning issues. A lack of preparation hinders preceptor outcomes and can have detrimental effects on the student\u27s learning experience. This doctoral project aims to develop an evidence-based preceptor training program utilizing the Rosswurm and Larrabee model for EBP change to analyze its impact on confidence, preparedness, and knowledge. The implementation of this project will take place at a level-1 urban trauma surgical center in the Midwest. Preceptor confidence, preparedness, and teaching knowledge will be measured utilizing a pre and post-training survey based on the Likert scale to assess for statistical significance before and after the training program
Evidence-Based Strategy to Improve Delirium Detection in Elderly Postsurgical Patients
Get PDFPostoperative delirium (POD) is a serious adverse outcome that frequently affects older adults. Patients experiencing POD are at greater risk for postoperative mortality, increased length of hospital stay, functional decline, and increased cost of care. Current global population trends indicate that the population of adults over the age of 60 years old will double over the next thirty years. Recent guidelines call for hospitals to implement routine delirium assessment to improve early intervention. Nursing delirium assessment tools are a critical resource for early delirium identification. Nursing delirium assessment tools are often highly sensitive and specific for delirium when used in the correct environment and can be performed quickly. The Iowa Model Revised 2015 guides this evidence-based practice project. This evidence-based practice project evaluates current literature to identify, create a plan, and implement a practice change for routine delirium assessments in the PACU for a large midwestern hospital in an urban setting. Lastly, this project also describes methods for evaluating project effectiveness utilizing hospital admission chart coding review and daily nursing documentation review
An Evidence-Based Strategy for the Use of Simulation to Assess Situation Awareness in Applicants to Nurse Anesthesia Programs
Get PDFMedical errors are considered one of the top causes of patient death. Closed claims analysis reveals an estimated 50% of claims are associated with preventable events by the anesthesia provider. Errors in anesthesia leading to critical incidents are associated with errors in situation awareness (SA). Identification of human factor variables, such as SA, provides an analysis of observable behavior and intuition necessary to guide crisis management, maintain clinical performance, and mitigate errors in patient safety. The human factor components of human error and SA play critical roles in patient safety and overall clinical anesthesia practice. The viability of simulation assessment delivers a consistent evaluation of learner progression and identifies areas of improvement to provide safe clinical practice and minimize adverse outcomes during patient interaction. Incorporating high-fidelity simulation into a multimodal admissions process for nurse anesthesia programs may provide a vital assessment of candidate SA in managing stressful scenarios and predict overall program progression and success. The evidence-based project serves to evaluate current literature for evidence-based strategies to provide a direct assessment of SA on prospective applicants during applicant interviews to nurse anesthesia programs
