Title: Coronavirus and Inequality: The Rich Get Richer, the Poor Get a Kick in the Behind.
Creator: Hendricks, Vincent F., Dunleavy, Daniel J.
Abstract/Description: A virus does not make distinctions. It just spreads, it just hits. But the ones who are challenged already are getting challenged even more. The richest countries in the world, making up some 13% of the global population, have ahead of time secured 51% of the COVID-19 vaccine. Like with many other societal inequalities, the Matthew effect kicks in concerning the novel coronavirus: “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance

Show moreTitle: An Evaluation of the Modified Early Warning Scoring System in an Acute Care HospitalPrimary Investigator: Kathleen K. Trocki, BSN, RN Purpose: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Modified Early Warning Scoring system (MEWS) on improving patient outcomes in an acute care hospital. The patient outcomes measured included mortality rates, rate of adverse events (AE), rate of patient transfers to a higher level of care and patient discharge dispositions. Methods: This project was a retrospective study evaluating pre and post-implementation data specific to patient mortality rate, rate of patient transfers to a higher level of care, and rate of patients discharged alive post adverse event. Results: Improvements in adverse event outcomes and patient discharge dispositions were seen after the MEWS system was implemented house wide. A decrease in mortality rate for patient’s experiencing an AE was demonstrated as well as an increase in the rate of patients discharged alive. Discussion: The results of this review were able to demonstrate improved patient outcomes with the implementation of the MEWS system in an acute care hospital. The increase in rapid response calls seen in this project suggests more patients were receiving clinical evaluations for physiological changes in condition, leading to earlier intervention. The reduction in cardiac arrests and mortality rates seen in the post-implementation period suggests the impact of the process change was able to demonstrate improvement in early clinical assessment, intervention and treatment. Conclusions: The Modified Early Warning Scoring System demonstrated a reduction in adverse event mortality rates and improvement in patient discharge dispositions. The use of an early warning system in the acute care setting has the potential to decrease adverse events, improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

Show moreThe construction of rattles from turtle (Testudines) shells is an important consideration when distinguishing between food and non-food uses of archaeological turtle remains. However, the identification of turtle shell rattles in prehistoric contexts can be quite challenging. Equifinality is a major problem for being able to distinguish rattles from food refuse, particularly when a carapace is not burnt or modified. In addition, diversity, abundance, and distribution of chelonian taxa varies throughout the southeastern United States, creating differential access for indigenous groups. Thus, multiple lines of evidence are needed from archaeological, ethnographic, and ethnohistoric records to successfully argue for the production and use of turtle shell rattles in the prehistoric southeastern United States. In this article, we present examples of turtle shell rattles in the southeastern United States to highlight their function and use by indigenous groups, the construction process, and several common characteristics, or an object trait list, that can aid in the identification of fragmentary turtle shell rattle remains. Accurate functional identification of turtle remains is important for identifying turtle shell rattle artifacts and may be of interest to indigenous groups claiming cultural items under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

Methods: The project used a quality improvement design on the cardiac floor and cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) in a hospital in northwest Florida. Participants were registered nurses who were working on these floors. A survey was emailed to participants which gathered demographic data and also tested their knowledge of heart failure. Readmission rates for 2018 and 2019 were also obtained and analyzed. Results: It was found that there was not a statistically significant decrease in readmission rates between 2018 and 2019; however, the readmission rates were decreased. It was also found that nearly half of participants incorrectly answered questions about heart failure diet, fluid, and sodium intake. The majority of participants did answer that they provided heart failure discharge education with the hand-out supplementation toolkit every time. Discussion: Because of hurricane damage at the hospital during this survey period, there was only one functioning medical-surgical floor and one ICU. For the first aim, there was no significant decrease in the heart failure readmission rates between 2018 and 2019. For the second aim, more nurses than expected incorrectly answered pertinent questions about fluid and sodium intake for CHF patients. This indicates a lack of nursing confidence when educating patients at discharge and may be related to non-cardiac nurses working with cardiac patients. The expected outcome of the third aim was successfully met because most nurses used both verbal education and printed toolkit handouts during patient discharge education.Conclusions: This study suggested that heart failure education workshops for nurses are beneficial and should be further studied to determine if they help reduce heart failure readmission rates.Major Professor: Laurie Abbott, PhD, RN, PHNA-BC

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this project was to investigate music as an adjunct therapy to pain management in the post-operative setting. More specifically, the study was intended to explore the impact of self-selected music on individual pain level as well as patient satisfaction during the recovery period. Methods: Participants in this study underwent elective outpatient surgery. Subjects were selected using a convenience sampling technique. Participants listened to pre-recorded music of their choice on a personal music device in the post-operative period. Data was gathered using the Numerical Rating Scale for pain (0-10), a post-intervention discharge survey, and a demographical questionnaire. Results: A p value of 0.001 demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in patient’s pain levels after listening to music. In addition, 50% of the patients expressed satisfaction with overall pain control and 59% felt that listening to music was extremely effective in decreasing their pain. Of the 12 eligible participants in the study, 11 said they would recommend music as an adjunct therapy. Discussion: The results of the study showed that music can indeed be beneficial in the post-operative period for the reduction of patient pain. Furthermore, music can enhance patient satisfaction. Conclusions: The incorporation of music into the post-operative recovery area is a viable option. Music can be considered as an adjunctive therapy to traditional nursing care.

Show moreChipola College, Tallahassee Community College, and nonmetropolitan industry leaders join with the Florida State University Information Use Management and Policy Institute and School of Library and Information Studies to examine the educational and career pathways of information technology (IT) technicians supporting broadband deployment in communities in Northwest Florida. The mixed methods research project investigates the region's broadband staffing needs to identify the roles of broadband technicians, education needed to develop the knowledge and skills to be successful in these roles, and the process to sustain long-lasting partnerships between educational and industry stakeholders. The pervasive nature of broadband indicates a need for IT/broadband workers who can handle a broad range of issues associated with the needs of commerce and communities in the region. In addition, the study conceptualizes and establishes the use of the term, nonmetropolitan, to describe communities that are adjacent to metro or urban areas and comprise a population of both rural and urban residents. The study deliverables include 1) a gap analysis that supports curriculum development; 2) creation of a network of nonmetropolitan stakeholders that includes employers, industries, community institutions, and technician educators; 3) an iterative curriculum/labor needs assessment that ensures depth and breadth of findings; 4) multiple faculty/industry workshops that deliver recommendations and solicit faculty/industry review of research findings; and 5) an array of activities that supports broad dissemination of the findings to inform local educators and industry, and engage all stakeholders in ongoing discussion. The research study contributes to a growing, though limited body of knowledge on the intersecting needs of IT technicians, educators, and employers in broadband technologies.

Show morePURPOSE: In a North Florida hospital, 20% of patients with pneumonia are readmitted within 30 days of discharge, exceeding the national average of 17%. These patients have higher rates of morbidity and mortality. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reduce Medicare payments when a hospital’s readmission performance for pneumonia falls below the national average. Identifying those patients would improve care and reduce costs. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 136 adults with a primary discharge diagnosis of pneumonia unspecified organism (ICD-10: J8.9) who were then readmitted within 30 days of discharge from their initial hospitalization was completed for 2017. De-identified data points of age, substance abuse, comorbidities, BMI, total hospital 2017 registrations, original length of stay, and discharge disposition were extracted pre- and post-readmission and were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests. RESULTS: The Mann-Whitney U test revealed significant differences between frequent users of hospital services and readmission; however, there were no significant differences in hospital length of stay, age, or BMI. The Chi-Square test indicated significant associations between substance abuse, discharge location, and the number of comorbidities and readmission. DISCUSSION: The finding that readmissions were more likely with those who were frequent users of hospital services, substance abuse, discharge location and the number of co-morbidities was consistent with the literature. However, the finding that those who were > 65 years of age was not associated with readmission rates was the opposite of what was found in the literature. CONCLUSIONS: In this setting, those younger than 65 years of age were as likely to be readmitted within 30 days than those 65 years of age or older. This may be due to the fact that chronic diseases seem to be occurring in the younger populations. However, generalizability is limited due to the small, single-site sample.

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this project is to enable healthcare providers to recognize compassion fatigue and provide them with coping mechanisms to deal with the phenomenon.Methods: This is a quality improvement project for the healthcare providers at the Panama City Surgery Center (PCSC). The structure of the project is a pre and post questionnaire with an educational intervention to identify gaps in the knowledge of compassion fatigue and treatment. Convenience sampling was utilized with a sample size of 40 participants.Results: Repeated-measures t-tests were used for each of the three primary analyses. There was a significant increase in recognition of compassion fatigue over time, t(39) = -2.47, p = 0.018, and there was a statistically significant decrease in burnout from pre-intervention to post-intervention, t(29) = 2.09, p = 0.023. There was not a significant change in STS across time, t(29) = 1.22, p = 0.23. As for demographics and compassion fatigue, there was a significant correlation between years of practice and compassion fatigue post educational intervention, r=0.32, p=0.048. It was found that there was not a significant correlation between other demographics, such as age and gender, and compassion fatigue.Discussion: The implications from this study reiterate the importance of educating healthcare providers about compassion fatigue and ways to deal with the phenomenon. Research has proven that with yearly education on compassion fatigue, the incidence and severity of compassion fatigue decreases. Conclusion: This research study provides insight into the detrimental effects of compassion fatigue on healthcare providers. Through education and awareness of compassion fatigue, there is a potential to reduce the negative outcomes that may affect healthcare providers.

The goal was to improve student nurse preparedness and ability to handle both intentional and unintentional sexual harassment from different patient populations.Methods: This quasi-exploratory study was conducted using descriptive statistics, and content analysis. Undergraduate nursing students in the BSN programs at Florida State University completed a pre- and post- intervention survey and viewed an educational video on sexual harassment at the bedside.Results: A total of 26 undergraduate nursing students participated but only 19 completed the entire pre-survey and only 9 completed the post-survey. Thirty-seven percent of participants personally experienced or witnessed sexual harassment at the bedside, 79% of them did not feel adequately prepared/trained to handle it, and only 20% reported the harassment. Approximately 10% of participants personally experienced sexual harassment while enrolled in the BSN program.Discussion: The results reiterate the need to develop educational resources for bedside nurses in the handling of sexual harassment and the need for a standardized definition to help in the identification of sexual harassment at the bedside.Conclusion: The use of a sexual harassment training video, specific to bedside nursing and undergraduate nursing students improved preparedness and ability to handle both intentional and unintentional sexual harassment at the bedside from different patient populations. It also indicates the need for further research on the climate of sexual harassment in healthcare and development of additional resources useful to nurses at the bedside.

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact sleep related infant deaths have in the state of Florida by determining sleep related infant mortality rates for each county. Methods: Maternal and infant health data obtained from FLHEALTHCHARTS between 2010 and 2015 was analyzed for trends in infant sleep mortality related to maternal characteristics including race, maternal country of origin, and timing of prenatal care status were evaluated. Results: There are six counties where the SIDS rate exceeds the state average indicating that an educational intervention to increase compliance with the AAP safe sleep recommendations would be most beneficial. Analysis of the Kotelchuck index (KI) shows there is statistically significant evidence to demonstrate initiation of adequate prenatal care results in a decrease in infant mortality related to unsafe infant sleeping. Discussion: Healthy People 2020 identified infant mortality as a key factor in overall poor maternal and infant health. National and statewide statistics continue to indicate that SUID is a significant killer of infants and SIDS is the third leading cause of infant death nationally. Review of literature indicates that providing better prenatal and postnatal safe sleep education for infant caregivers is a key component in improving overall infant mortality. Conclusions: The knowledge that improved education can have an impact on infant mortality is a key finding in the continued quest to improve overall U.S. maternal and child health. Specifically, targeted educational interventions in the acute care setting can be effective at improving compliance with the AAPs recommendations and decrease overall infant mortality. Further research is needed to develop a tool to utilize in the acute care setting to streamline education received by infant caregivers.

Title: Social work and the necessity of open access.
Creator: Dunleavy, Daniel J.
Abstract/Description: Access to research and scholarship is essential for the practice of social work and the development of intra- and interdisciplinary knowledge. Therefore “open access” is a necessity for the field of social work to function and thrive. This post explores some of these issues and makes suggestions for how the field may make its knowledge and tools more open. The consequences of this are non-negligible, as greater access will arguably aid in solving society’s most pressing problems.

Show morePurpose: This study was designed to examine the existing gaps and awareness among nurses regarding unprofessional conduct and its impact on job retention and satisfaction as well as devising an intervention to alleviate this behavior. Methods: A descriptive study design with a convenience sample of 51 active licensed nurses in long term care facility in North Florida was used over a period of three months using a hand delivered needs assessment survey questionnaires. Results: This study reveals that neither level of education, nor years of experience increased nurse’s confidence level to avoid workplace inactivity. The “putdown” syndrome is the most common misconduct experienced by the nurses in their workplaces, it occurs in multiples with other types of unprofessional conduct, in most cases, on hourly and daily basis. Additional findings showed that the put down syndrome were more common between certified nursing assistants and licensed nurses. Discussion: This research indicates that disruptive clinician behavior exist in the workplace and it is key in undermining the organizations mission and culture. There can be overt and direct disruptive behavior by physician and nurses that are more passive-aggressive and are directed more at peers. In addition, reports from certified nursing assistants revealed that the “putdown syndrome” continues to exist largely between certified nurse assistants and licensed nurses and is very harmful to patient care. This is strong call for another study to investigate “put down syndrome” between licensed nurses and certified nurse assistants and its impact on patient care outcome.
