Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the process of evaluating senior nursing students in the simulation laboratory using a modified Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR).
Background: The LCJR is a clinical evaluation tool used to measure outcomes in simulated learning settings. The LCJR was revised to provide numeric grading and clarity regarding expectations of clinical competency.
Method: The study was conducted over two years with students enrolled in their final bachelor of science in nursing semester (Phase I, n = 86; Phase 2, n = 102) using high-fidelity simulation.
Results: The modified rubric measured student performance more holistically than a procedural checklist and provided objective criteria for evaluation.
Conclusion: A well-constructed rubric provides a mechanism to evaluate student performance in simulation by focusing on clinical reasoning essential for patient safety and allowing numeric evaluation of performance.

Evaluation of Peer Simulations Utilizing Student-Generated Case Studies with Pre-clinical Veterinary Students.
J Vet Med Educ
October 2024
School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Linden Dr., Madison, WI 53706 USA.
Article Synopsis
- A student-driven model of peer simulations using reverse case studies was developed to provide virtual learning for clinical veterinary students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Focus groups found that while this method can't fully replace hands-on experience, it effectively prepares students for clinical work and improves their comfort with clinical reasoning and communication skills.
- Significant improvements were noted in students' skills after a one-week course, though discrepancies were observed between facilitator and student assessments, highlighting the value of self-reflection and peer learning.
Hospital Performance on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System Ratings: Associations With Nursing Factors.
Med Care
May 2024
Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Philadelphia, PA.
Objective: To determine which hospital nursing resources (staffing, skill mix, nurse education, and nurse work environment) are most predictive of hospital Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (HCAHPS) performance.
Background: HCAHPS surveying is designed to quantify patient experience, a measure of patient-centered care. Hospitals are financially incentivized through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to achieve high HCAHPS ratings, but little is known about what modifiable hospital factors are associated with higher HCAHPS ratings.
Alarm burden and the nursing care environment: a 213-hospital cross-sectional study.

Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: High rates of medical device alarms in hospitals are a well-documented threat to patient safety. Little is known about organisational features that may be associated with nurses' experience of alarm burden.
Aims: To evaluate the association between nurse-reported alarm burden, appraisals of patient safety, quality of care and hospital characteristics.
Physician and Nurse Well-Being and Preferred Interventions to Address Burnout in Hospital Practice: Factors Associated With Turnover, Outcomes, and Patient Safety.
JAMA Health Forum
July 2023
Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, School of Nursing, and Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: Disruptions in the hospital clinical workforce threaten quality and safety of care and retention of health professionals. It is important to understand which interventions would be well received by clinicians to address the factors associated with turnover.
Objectives: To determine well-being and turnover rates of physicians and nurses in hospital practice, and to identify actionable factors associated with adverse clinician outcomes, patient safety, and clinicians' preferences for interventions.
School-based MHPSS interventions in humanitarian contexts: a realist review.
BMJ Open
April 2022
The MHPSS Collaborative, hosted by Save the Children Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Objective: The aim of this review is to elucidate the characteristics of school-based mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions in humanitarian contexts and the hypothesised mechanisms by which they influence well-being or learning outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a realist review and searched PubMed, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, PsychInfo, PILOTS and grey literature through January 2022. Eligible studies included children age 6-12 years, were conducted in humanitarian contexts in low-income or middle-income countries, and focused on universal MPHSS prevention in an educational setting, using any study design.
