Creating a Just Culture in the Perioperative Setting.

There has been an increased perioperative focus on avoiding adverse events and providing safe patient care since To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System published in 2000. Adverse events continue to occur in perioperative areas and are likely underreported. The interdisciplinary nature and high cost of perioperative care may discourage personnel from speaking up for fear of retribution and punishment when reporting.

A National Survey of Collaboration Between Nurse Faculty Members and Staff Nurses in the Clinical Learning Environment.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to measure collaboration in the clinical learning environment.

Background: Clinical learning, which is essential for nursing education, allows students to integrate what they have learned in the classroom in a complex social context with an interactive network of forces. Stakeholders are nursing students, nursing faculty, and staff nurses who must collaborate in providing an effective learning environment for students.

Factors influencing the implementation of falls prevention practice in primary care.

Background: Patient falls in the primary care setting are a complex problem and are detrimental to the independence and quality of life of older adults.

Objectives: The purpose of this integrative review is to identify what factors influence the implementation of fall prevention practice in the primary care setting. This review explores qualitative and quantitative research published between 2004 and 2018 on barriers to fall prevention management in primary care.

Preventing Hypothermia during Cesarean Birth: An Integrative Review.

Purpose: The purpose of this integrative review was to assess common warming measures used for prevention of hypothermia during the perioperative period for women having cesarean birth and to determine their efficacy.

Methods: A literature search was conducted via electronic databases EBSCO, PUBMED, Academic Search Premier, Google Scholar, and CINAHL using keyword search terms hypothermia, cesarean, and warming. Inclusion criteria were articles written in English and published between 2006 and 2018.

Development and Testing of the Collaboration in the Clinical Learning Environment Tool.

Background And Purpose: This study was done to develop and psychometrically test the Collaboration in the Clinical Learning Environment (CCLE) tool. The researcher acknowledged 2 distinct populations that required input into this particular tool development: staff nurses and nursing faculty members. Both have influence into student learning.

Nursing Students' Qualitative Experiences in the Medical-Surgical Clinical Learning Environment: A Cross-Cultural Integrative Review.

Background: The nature of the clinical learning environment has a huge impact on student learning. For instance, research has supported the idea that a positive learning environment increases student learning. Therefore, the ability to gain information from the student perspective about the learning environment is essential to nursing education.

Evaluation of instruments developed to measure the clinical learning environment: an integrative review.

The nature of the clinical learning environment has a huge impact on student learning. This article reviews current methods available for evaluating the clinical learning environment. Five instruments were identified that measure the clinical learning environment.

Preprocedure warming maintains normothermia throughout the perioperative period: a quality improvement project.

Research supports the practice of preprocedure warming as a method to prevent the development of unplanned perioperative hypothermia. ASPAN defines hypothermia as a core temperature lower than 36°C. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to explore the idea that preprocedure warming maintains perioperative normothermia.
