Geisha As Living Embodiments of Art Representing Japanese Cultural Aesthetic
Get PDFSince the Edo period, geisha have existed as living embodiments of the Japanese arts and aesthetic culture. The true world of the geisha is little known or understood, especially in the west, and misconceptions continue to be perpetuated through popular media. The primary representation of geisha often focuses on their role in relation to male patrons, rather than on artistic accomplishments and cultural value as individuals. This research analyzes the evolution of aesthetics, as being central to expressions of Japanese artistic practices that contributed to the role of the geisha within historical social spaces. Through establishing context for historical precedent, and modern custom and experience within the geisha world, it explores the self-representation of geisha as artists and contributors to the continuation of traditional practices. The aim of this paper is to inspire appreciation and understanding for the geisha as living embodiments of art, and by extension, Japanese traditional culture

Increasing Awareness, Understanding, and Support for Healthcare Second Victims through the Creation and Distribution of an Infographic for Leaders and Executives
Get PDFSecond victim syndrome describes the constellation of symptoms suffered by healthcare clinicians because of the stresses of caregiving, experiencing adverse patient outcomes, and the increasing pressures of the care environment. The occurrence of second victim syndrome (SVS) in nurses is well supported in literature, along with resultant effects on patient safety, organizational culture, and the organization\u27s financial outcomes. The interconnectedness of nurses with patients is undeniable, and relational impacts can be both profound and enduring. Burnout and stress, manifested by mental, psychological, and physical effects, are possible and may affect the ability of the nurse to provide effective nursing care to patients. The state of nursing in the facility ultimately determines whether the obligation to provide quality, safe patient care to the community is met by the organization. High rates of turnover and vacant positions, often necessitating the use of unknown travel nurses, can also compromise patient care, potentially increasing patient complications and worsening outcomes. The many implications of these factors on healthcare organizations cannot be understated, not the least of which are financial. Executives and other leaders must recognize the wellness of the staff and the state of facility culture when considering goals, initiatives, and the organization\u27s overall sustainability. This project addresses the barriers to nursing support through the development of an educational infographic targeted for organizational executives, highlighting second victim syndrome and its potential consequences on nurses, patients, and the facility at large. The infographic directs leaders to examine current facility culture closely, suggesting why and how to ensure a supportive care culture
