The perceived role of wellness health coaches in delivering care to employees and their spouses with chronic conditions in a health care system in the MidwestGinos, Elizabeth 31 December 2014 (has links)
<p> The focus of recent attention in healthcare is the increasing population of people with chronic condition and the increasing cost of managing the health of this population. To improve care outcomes and increase cost effectiveness of managing the health of these patients their care needs to be directed by evidence-based approaches. One of these approaches could be wellness health coaching directed toward helping patients self-manage their chronic condition. The problem however, is that the research on the role of wellness health coaches with helping patients self-manage their chronic condition is limited. Therefore, research that focuses on the role of wellness health coaches and their approaches to facilitate self-management are needed. </p><p> To gain understanding of the role and approaches of these wellness health coaches a phenomenological method was used. By personal interviews with six wellness health coaches, the researcher sought to answer the two research questions by describing their perceived role and their approaches to facilitate self-management of individuals with chronic conditions. </p><p> Wellness health coaches in this study perceived their roles as educators, motivators, guides, supporters, facilitator, collaborator, and coordinator. With all their clients they help set goals and develop a plan to meet their goals. The wellness health coaches' approaches to help improve their clients' self-management skills include providing them with written educational materials, resource information, and other tools such as websites on health information. All of these wellness health coaches' activities are aimed at empowering their clients to be able to improve their lifestyle and overall health.</p>

To report or not report| A qualitative study of nurses' decisions in error reportingKoehn, Amy R. 30 December 2014 (has links)
<p> This qualitative study was successful in utilization of grounded theory methodology to ascertain nurses' decision-making processes following their awareness of having made a medical error, as well as how and/or if they corrected and reported the error. Significant literature documents the existence of medical errors; however, this unique study interviewed thirty nurses from adult intensive care units seeking to discover through a detailed interview process their individual stories and experiences, which were then analyzed for common themes. Common themes led to the development of a theoretical model of thought processes regarding error reporting when nurses made an error. Within this theoretical model are multiple processes that outline a shared, time-orientated sequence of events nurses encounter before, during, and after an error. One common theme was the error occurred during a busy day when they had been doing something unfamiliar. Each nurse expressed personal anguish at the realization she had made an error, she sought to understand why the error happened and what corrective action was needed. Whether the error was reported on or told about depended on each unit's expectation and what needed to be done to protect the patient. If there was no perceived patient harm, errors were not reported. Even for reported errors, no one followed-up with the nurses in this study. Nurses were left on their own to reflect on what had happened and to consider what could be done to prevent error recurrence. The overall impact of the process of and the recovery from the error led to learning from the error that persisted throughout her nursing career. Findings from this study illuminate the unique viewpoint of licensed nurses' experiences with errors and have the potential to influence how the prevention of, notification about and resolution of errors are dealt with in the clinical setting. Further research is needed to answer multiple questions that will contribute to nursing knowledge about error reporting activities and the means to continue to improve error-reporting rates.</p>

Transformational learning experiences of perioperative registered nurses who have completed a perioperative training programSchild, Randolph William 28 January 2014 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this case study was to determine which activities factor into transformational learning that may occur as a result of completing a perioperative preparation program for registered nurses. Through the process of describing the lived experiences of the participants who have completed a perioperative nurse training program, it also assisted in informing pedagogical practice by helping to establish the extent of transformational learning that occurs. The role of a perioperative nurse is one that is demanding, knowledge intensive, and highly collaborative. Perioperative nurse educators need to understand the process of transformation in order to assist new perioperative nurses in successfully completing a perioperative nurse-training program. The Learning Activities Survey, a follow-up survey, and individual interviews were used to accomplish a mixed method sequential study design. The research established that half of the participants had experienced transformational learning while half did not.</p>

Toward Expert Clinicians| The Effects of Teaching Mindfulness in Physical Therapy EducationKindel, Heather Rae 24 July 2018 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this research study was to investigate the effects of teaching a mindfulness curriculum to graduate physical therapy (PT) students in the classroom. The researcher investigated two research questions. How does training PT graduate students in mindfulness strategies affect self-regulation, stress management, and trait mindfulness in personal and professional life immediately following training and 8 weeks posttraining?, and What is the experience of PT students being trained in mindfulness in personal and professional life related to self-regulation, stress and trait mindfulness? This was a mixed methods, comparison and intervention study design conducted with N=32 graduate PT students, who were divided into intervention and comparison groups. The intervention group received a mindfulness curriculum over a 6 week period. Pre and posttests (immediately and 8 weeks after) were given to both groups with Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Qualitative interviews were done immediately after experiment. Statistical analysis using two-way MANOVA revealed statistically significant findings across time for the PSS and FFMQ, an interaction between time and group for the MSLQ, PSS, and FFMQ, and group across time for the PSS. Qualitative analysis showed Prior Experience, Perception, Mindfulness Tools, Challenges, Stress Management, Self-Regulation, Continued Application, and Feedback on Course as categories, each containing subcategories and themes. Incorporating mindfulness into PT education was shown to increase self-regulation, decrease student stress, and increase trait mindfulness.</p><p>
