A Faculty Created Strategic Plan for Excellence in Nursing Education

International Journal of Nursing Education Scholarship (2014)

Connie Joan Evans Eileen Shackell Selma Jean Kerr-Wilson Glynda Doyle Jodie Anita McCutcheon

Abstract Strategic planning for nursing education, when seen through a faculty lens creates a deeper, more meaningful critical analysis of effective program development. New strategies are required for academic institutions to transform their curricula to meet the needs of a dynamic healthcare and changing global environment to provide quality education for students. In this article, an evidence-informed process is presented that was progressively co-created by the faculty and facilitators. Seminal business frameworks, leadership development philosophies, and innovative interventions enabled faculty to become engaged and developed as they created a strategic plan for a future-driven nursing program. Phase One presents the process of developing a strategic plan for excellence in nursing education by leveraging faculty potential and preparing for an upcoming accreditation. In Phase Two, four team members from Phase One continue as part of Phase Two team serving as the collective memory for this initial work. This method of strategic planning encouraged faculty engagement and leadership and laid the groundwork for a positive culture change among nursing faculty.

Efficacy of a smoking‐cessation intervention for elective‐surgical patients

Research in Nursing & Health (2004)

Pamela A. Ratner Joy L. Johnson Chris G. Richardson Joan L. Bottorff Barbara Moffat

Abstract We tested an intervention to help smokers abstain (fast) from smoking before surgery, maintain abstinence postoperatively, and achieve long‐term cessation. A randomized experiment included 237 patients admitted for presurgical assessment who smoked. The intervention included counseling and nicotine replacement therapy. Treatment group participants (73.0%) were more likely to fast than were controls (53.0%): χ 2 (1, N = 228) = 8.89, p = .003, and more likely to be abstinent 6 months after surgery (31.2% vs. 20.2%). There was no significant difference in the abstinence rates at 12 months after surgery, χ 2 (1, N = 169) <.001, p = 1.00. Encouraging patients to fast from smoking before surgery and postoperative support are efficacious ways to reduce preoperative and immediate post‐operative tobacco use. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Evaluation of a Redesigned Canadian Undergraduate Nursing Program: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Nursing Education (2017)

Gail Tomblin Murphy Adrian MacKenzie Robert Alder Bernice Budz

The objective of this study was to determine the degree to which the educational outcomes of the accelerated, redesigned bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program at The British Columbia Institute of Technology are similar to those of its previous program.A prospective cohort study compared outcomes for the first two classes of students in the redesigned program with those of the final class of students in the original program. Data were gathered from administrative records, focus group discussions, and online surveys for BSN students (later, graduates), faculty, and staff, a focus group discussion with Specialty Nursing faculty, and interviews with program leadership and representatives of provincial health authorities.No differences were found between the two programs for most outcomes.Although hindered by some low response levels, the evaluation data indicate that the British Columbia Institute of Technology's redesigned BSN program's educational outcomes are largely similar to those of its predecessor.

Families and heart transplantation: reversing the trajectory of end stage heart disease.

PubMed (2010)

Lynne Young Anita Molzahn Rosalie Starzomski Bernice Budz

Family caregiving is central in the heart transplant (HT) process.Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, study data were collected from 12 health professionals and 15 families in which one member was a HT recipient throughout three phases of the HT process.Our interpretations suggest that family caregiving contributes to "reversing the downward trajectory" of end stage heart disease. This impacts the health of caregivers and disrupted family life. In some families, this caregiving work contributed to a smooth and uncomplicated recovery, while for others caregiving work was demanding and prolonged, or their loved one succumbed. Families reported that access to system-level supports for family caregiving varied.Family caregiving is an important factor in a successful recovery from HT. To ensure effective family caregiving, support should be available to family members in this role across all stages of the HT process.

Synchronizing Clinician Engagement and Client Motivation in Telephone Counseling

Qualitative Health Research (2004)

Joan L. Bottorff Joy L. Johnson Barbara Moffat Doreen Fofonoff Bernice Budz

Health care increasingly incorporates telephone counseling, but the interactions supporting its delivery are not well understood. The authors’ clinical trial of a tailored, nurse-administered smoking cessation intervention for surgical patients included a telephone counseling component and provided an opportunity to describe the interaction dynamics of proactive telephone counseling over the course of 4 months. Tape-recorded telephone counseling calls for 56 consecutively enrolled individuals randomized to the intervention group resulted in a data set of 368 calls, which were transcribed and analyzed using constant comparative methods. The findings revealed varying interaction dynamics depending on the nurse’s level of engagement with participants and participants’ motivation to stop smoking. The authors identified four interaction dynamics: affirming/working, chasing/skirting, controlling/withdrawing, and avoiding commitment. Shifts in interaction dynamics were common and influenced the provision of support both positively and negatively. The findings challenge many assumptions underlying telephone counseling and suggest strategies to improve its delivery.
