Conceptualizing Student Experiences of Psychological Safety in Simulation: A Grounded Theory Study.

Background: Simulation-based learning activities have become more prevalent in prelicensure nursing curricula. When following the Simulation Standards of Best Practice, optimal learning conditions can be achieved, including the creation of a psychologically safe learning environment. Yet, the process of how students come to feel psychologically safe during a simulation experience remains unknown.

A Global Overview of Missed Nursing Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed unparalleled pressure on many countries' healthcare systems, impacting the delivery of health and nursing care services. Despite the growing number of missed care studies during the pandemic, a broader perspective is essential when designing theory-driven strategies to improve nursing care delivery. This review aimed to synthesize evidence of missed nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic in acute care settings through a systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Outcomes of Telehealth for Wound Care: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To synthesize the literature on delivering wound care via telehealth and compare clinical, healthcare utilization, and cost outcomes when wound care is provided via telehealth (telewound) modalities compared with in-person care.

Data Sources: An electronic search of PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Clinical Trials databases for articles published from 1999 to 2019 was conducted using the following MeSH search terms: telewound, wound, wound care, remote care, telehealth, telemedicine, eHealth, mobile health, pressure injury, and ulcer.

Study Selection: Articles were included if they were a scientific report of a single study; evaluated a telehealth method; identified the type of wound of focus; and provided data on clinical, healthcare utilization, or cost outcomes of telewound care.

Using the NCSBN Transition to Specific Practice Competency Tool to Develop a Multiple Patient Simulation.

Because of complexities of clinical practice and limitations in the clinical setting, prelicensure nursing students may not develop competencies necessary for safe entry into practice. Multiple patient simulation (MPS) is an effective teaching strategy to gain these competencies. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing Transition to Practice Specific Competency Tool was used to assess and identify gaps in students' knowledge and skills when designing an MPS.

Being present: Examining the efficacy of an Internet Mantram Program on RN-delivered patient-centered care.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted nurses' compassionate presence during stressful conditions. Strategies to reduce workplace stress are needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a stress reduction strategy, an Internet-based Mantram Repetition Program (MRP), for nurses caring for hospitalized Veterans.

Establishing psychological safety in simulation: Faculty perceptions.

Background: A psychologically safe learning environment is defined as one where individuals feel comfortable to take interpersonal risks without fear of negative consequences. Despite knowledge of best practice for simulation, there is a lack of knowledge regarding how nursing faculty perceive and establish psychological safety in a simulated learning environment.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing faculty's perceptions of psychological safety as it exists within a simulation learning environment for pre-licensure nursing students.

Validating Domains of Patient Contextual Factors Essential to Preventing Contextual Errors: A Qualitative Study Conducted at Chicago Area Veterans Health Administration Sites.

Purpose: "Patient context" indicates patient circumstances and characteristics or states that are essential to address when planning patient care. Specific patient "contextual factors," if overlooked, result in an inappropriate plan of care, a medical error termed a "contextual error." The myriad contextual factors that constitute patient context have been grouped into broad domains to create a taxonomy of challenges to consider when planning care.

A Rasch Rating Scale Analysis of the Presence of Nursing Scale-RN.

The phenomenon of nursing presence encompasses the emotional connection between nurse and patient, and technical skills performed by the nurse. The Presence of Nursing Scale-RN version (PONS-RN) was developed to measure nurses' perceptions of their ability to be present to their patients. This study summarizes the process of re-evaluation of the psychometric properties of the PONS-RN instrument.

Initial development of patient-reported instrument assessing harm, efficacy, and misuse of long-term opioid therapy.

Guidelines on long-term opioid therapy recommend frequent reassessment of harm, efficacy, and misuse of these potentially harmful and sometimes ineffective medications. In primary care, there is a need for a brief, patient-reported instrument. This report details the initial steps in the development of such an instrument.

Nursing presence: putting the art of nursing back into hospital orientation.

Nursing presence, the "doing for" and "being with" patients, embodies the holistic work of the registered nurse. However, nursing presence is seldom reflected in hospital orientation curricula. Programs traditionally orient nurses to policies and psychomotor tasks but exclude emphasizing how to "be with" patients.

Group mentoring: a story of transition for undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students.

Background: Group mentoring has been endorsed as an effective method of supporting novice professionals across disciplines. In one university, faculty revised the undergraduate nursing curriculum to include a group mentoring course as a requirement of students during the four semesters they are enrolled in the nursing program.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of undergraduate nursing students participating in a group mentoring course.

Preceptors and new graduate nurse orientees: implications of psychological type compatibility.

The relationship between preceptor and new graduate nurse (NGN) orientee can be a critical factor in NGNs' satisfaction with choice of profession and place of employment. A research study was conducted with NGN orientees (n = 218) and preceptors (n = 159) to investigate characteristics of psychological type as determined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Preliminary descriptive data regarding participants' Myers-Briggs Type Indicator characteristics is presented, and suggestions are offered for working with orientees during orientation in both classroom sessions and clinical units.

Development and psychometric assessment of the Presence of Nursing Scale.

Nursing presence has been conceptualized in the literature. However, no instrument has been developed to measure it. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure patients' perceptions of nursing presence and to examine its psychometric properties.

The top ten list: lessons learned from teaching a study abroad course.

In response to the need for culturally competent care, faculty can instill in students the desire to become culturally competent practitioners by providing the opportunity to participate in a short-term study abroad immersion experience. While this strategy is not considered cutting-edge or revolutionary, changing global dynamics warrant rethinking this curricular option. Nurse faculty conducted two short-term study abroad courses in Croatia.

Learning style preference and student aptitude for concept maps.

Acknowledging that individuals' preferences for learning vary, faculty in an undergraduate nursing program questioned whether a student's learning style is an indicator of aptitude in developing concept maps. The purpose of this research was to describe the relationship between nursing students' learning style preference and aptitude for concept maps. The sample included 120 undergraduate students enrolled in the adult health nursing course.

Connecting: perceptions of becoming a faculty mentor.

The school of nursing faculty at a liberal arts university created an innovative group-mentoring course to support students' progression through the undergraduate nursing program. The foundation of the mentoring program is the dynamic relationship between novice and expert. Students are enrolled in this one-hour course for each of their four semesters in the upper division nursing curriculum.
