Background: The integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) concepts throughout the curriculum is imperative to the preparation of advanced-practice nurses to deliver person-centered care. This article describes the design and evaluation of one institution's faculty-developed DEI competencies for graduate nursing students.
Method: A task force of faculty and content experts utilized a modified Delphi approach in the development of DEI-focused competencies related to advanced-level nursing education.
Article Synopsis
- - We propose an efficient design for a spin-photon interface using a diamond microdisk topped with a silicon oxynitride triangular lattice, allowing for effective light emission without needing precise alignment between layers.
- - The setup achieves a high quantum efficiency of up to 46% for a specific type of color center in the diamond, making it promising for larger-scale production of quantum light sources.
- - Our new optimization method leverages a dipole model to significantly enhance free space performance, yielding results similar to complex simulations but with a much shorter computation time (a 7·10 reduction).
Background: For the last 17 years, the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) prelicensure competencies and knowledge, skill, and attitude (KSA) statements were integrated into nursing curricula.
Problem: With the publication of the competency-based American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials , it is important to determine the overlap of the QSEN competencies.
Approach: We developed a QSEN-AACN prelicensure crosswalk to help faculty map and integrate the 2021 AACN Essentials into their curriculum.
Introduction: The purpose of this descriptive study is to examine a learning health system (LHS) continuous improvement and learning approach as a case for increased quality, standardized processes, redesigned workflows, and better resource utilization. Hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) commonly occur in the hospitalized patient and are costly and preventable. This study examines the effect of a LHS approach to reducing HAPI within a large academic medical center.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) or "broken heart syndrome" is a rare condition that is more common in women than men, particularly those who are postmenopausal. It mimics a myocardial infarction and psychological factors have been implicated in its etiology as well as being consequences of its presentation. As part of a public engagement project we brought together 8 women (of 12 invited) previously diagnosed with TCM to facilitate a discussion, through participation in a creative workshop-based process, about their illness experience, how they made sense of it, and the meaning it had for them in their lives, and to identify areas of unmet need.
