Critical care nurse leaders' moral distress: A qualitative descriptive study.

Background: Unit-based critical care nurse leaders (UBCCNL) play a role in exemplifying ethical leadership, addressing moral distress, and mitigating contributing factors to moral distress on their units. Despite several studies examining the experience of moral distress by bedside nurses, knowledge is limited regarding the UBCCNL's experience.

Research Aim: The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of Alabama UBCCNLs regarding how they experience, cope with, and address moral distress.

Critical care nurse leaders addressing moral distress: A qualitative study.

Background: Moral distress (MD) occurs when clinicians are constrained from taking what they believe to be ethically appropriate actions. When unattended, MD may result in moral injury and/or suffering. Literature surrounding how unit-based critical care nurse leaders address MD in practice is limited.

Promoting Competence in Nursing and Pharmacy Interprofessional Collaboration Through Telehealth Simulation.

Competence in interprofessional collaboration is essential for safe patient outcomes. This study examined the impact of an interprofessional telehealth pharmacology simulation on prelicensure nursing and pharmacy students' perceptions of interprofessional roles. A pretest-posttest design was used to compare participants' perceptions of interprofessional roles prior to and following the simulation.

Moral distress among nurse leaders: A qualitative systematic review.

Moral distress (MD) is well-documented within the nursing literature and occurs when constraints prevent a correct course of action from being implemented. The measured frequency of MD has increased among nurses over recent years, especially since the COVID-19 Pandemic. MD is less understood among nurse leaders than other populations of nurses.

Incorporating Omics and Precision Health in a Nursing PhD Program: The Perspectives of Student Nurse Scientists.

To engage in innovative and novel precision health and omics research, nurse scientists need to be knowledgeable about the genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors that impact health outcomes. This article illustrates the benefits of a nursing omics PhD curriculum at a state university. The purpose is to provide students' perspectives and research interests that were inspired by the omics and precision health curriculum.

End-of-Semester Report-Out: A Curriculum Evaluation Strategy.

An end-of-semester course -reporting strategy serves as one component of an overall curriculum evaluation plan. A framework specifying reporting criteria is used to guide the process. Report elements include integration of concepts in clinical, descriptions of active classroom learning strategies, testing data on concept performance, and exam statistics.

Human Factors Associated With the Use of Manual Bulb Suction Devices.

Background: Manual bulb suction is commonly used to promote naso-oropharyngeal airway clearance. Human factors of hand placement (radial vs. axial) and relative negative pressure generated are not known.

Successfully Incorporating Interprofessional Education in a Nonacademic Health Sciences Center.

Enhanced patient outcomes have led the health sciences to seek ways in which to incorporate interprofessional education in their curricula. This article presents a unique and innovative strategy for interprofessional education among nursing, medicine, and pharmacy in a nonacademic health science center setting. Nurse practitioner students from the University of Alabama in Huntsville College of Nursing, medical interns from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, and pharmacy students from Auburn University School of Pharmacy and their respective faculty participated in collaboratively designed simulations and skills experiences.
