Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners experiencing therapeutic alliance while using tele-mental health: A phenomenological study.

Background: Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners have rapidly adopted and implemented tele-mental health in their practice; however it is unclear how this modality of care affects the experiential quality of therapeutic alliance, simply defined as the interpersonal working bond between provider and patient.

Objective: This study is the first to explore how psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners experience therapeutic alliance while using tele-mental health.

Design: Husserlian phenomenological qualitative study.

A Theoretical Framework for Conducting Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Virtual Care & Research.

Despite rapid adoption and implementation, theoretical research considerations for virtual care (VC), defined simply as healthcare delivered using technology, are lacking across psychiatric mental health nursing (PMHN) scholarship. By adapting Hildegard Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory (IRT) and Media Richness Theory (MRT) using an intermodern and emancipatory knowing approach, a new framework was created for guiding modern PMHN VC research. Using this theoretical framework, readers can gain awareness of how the art and science of PMHN practice can be applied to VC scholarly endeavors in the modern healthcare space.

Development of an Intentional Telehealth Viewing Guide for Home-Based Patient Assessment.

Background: The increased use of telehealth to visit patients in their home permits greater access to care, and also increases the opportunity for whole-person assessments that improve individualized care. The videoconferencing camera is a proxy for home visit provider's eyes. However, cameras limit views, thereby reducing environmental cues.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurses Using Synchronous Telepsychiatry: An Integrative Systematic Review.

Despite wide-spread use, telepsychiatry use among psychiatric mental health advanced practice nurse practitioners (PMH APRNs) has not been systematically explored in the literature. Systematically review the PMH APRN usage of live-time, synchronous telepsychiatry including audiovisual teleconferencing technology. A comprehensive, systematic search was performed with no publication date restriction across CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science on July 30, 2019, by a medical librarian.

Compassion Fatigue Among RNs Working in Skilled Nursing Facilities.

Nurses employed in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are at risk for developing compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue negatively impacts patient outcomes and is associated with decreased quality of care. Some nurses leave the profession due to compassion fatigue.

A model to evaluate data science in nursing doctoral curricula.

Background: Building on the efforts of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, we developed a model to infuse data science constructs into doctor of philosophy (PhD) curriculum. Using this model, developing nurse scientists can learn data science and be at the forefront of data driven healthcare.

Purpose: Here we present the Data Science Curriculum Organizing Model (DSCOM) to guide comprehensive doctoral education about data science.

Knowledge Gaps About End-of-Life Decision Making Among Mexican American Older Adults and Their Family Caregivers: An Integrative Review.

Introduction: Mexican Americans (MAs) are the largest, fastest growing Latino subgroup in the United States, yet their use of hospice is limited. To better understand this disparity, the authors conducted an integrative review focused on MA caregiving families' end-of-life (EOL) care decisions.

Method: In this literature review, the authors content analyzed results and discussions of 22 research studies focused on EOL decisions, which sampled MA adults at least 50 years old and/or families.

Family Caregivers' Experiences of Within-Hospital Handoffs for Older Adults in Acute Care.

Family caregivers' experiences during within-hospital handoffs between acute care units are not well understood. Qualitative description methodology was employed to describe family caregivers' experiences during their loved ones' handoffs. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 caregivers of hospitalized older adults.

Research in nursing informatics 2014.

This article reflects the work done in the third year of the Nursing Informatics Year in Review project. This project seeks to search and analyze articles written by nurses as first author on the subject of nursing informatics, published August 2013-August 2014. Each year we also seek recommended articles from our American Medical Informatics Association-Nursing Informatics Work Group (AMIA-NIWG) members that meet the same criteria as the search and most influenced their thinking and scholarship.

Nursing education focus of nursing informatics research in 2013.

The Nursing Informatics Year in Review 2013 revealed an increase in publications associated with nursing education. Specifically, the articles addressed technology in nursing curricula, use of technology to teach nursing education, and use of technology to form collaborative relationships. In this article we present questions such as: how do these programs assist student nurses to transition to nurse providers where technology is infused into their work and workflow and what is the influence of the collaborative relationships with nurse educators, administrators, and informatics specialists increase patient safety and quality.
