Institutional and structural racism undergird the conditions that perpetuate health disparities and make it easy to blame the affected for their poor health. Healthcare leaders and providers must understand the egregious\, intentional\, and unjust policies that have shaped the way for poor social determinants of health. The first of this two-part series serves as a primer to help providers understand the issue’s complexity both across the nation and within their own communities. \nOutcomes: \n\nUnderstand the etiology of redlining.\nIdentify redlines within the communities they practice in.\nExplain how high prevalence health disparity issues in their community are connected to unjust policies.\nDevelop strategies to incorporate the concept into their courses and curriculum.\n\nNote: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs.

Multiple myeloma\, a blood cancer\, has experienced increased remission periods. Multiple myeloma weakens the immune system\, causes kidney damage\, and weakens bones\, leading to fractures. It predominately affects older adults\, with 69 years old being the median age at diagnosis. \nMultiple myeloma is cyclical\, marked with active disease and remission periods. Relapse will occur for all individuals diagnosed with MM. Remission with MM involves ongoing treatment and regular oncology appointments to monitor for treatment side effects and disease relapse. The current literature does not contain research on those in remission with MM\, particularly regarding their quality of life. \nMethods: Cancer support groups were used to recruit participants from the Pacific Northwest. Colaizzi’s (1978) seven-step analysis process was used to examine the data. Direct quotes from participants were used in formulating themes and subthemes. Data was collected through phone interviews. \nAssessment of Findings: 12 recruited participants were determined eligible for the study (See Table 1). Analysis of the interview data revealed three themes and nine subthemes (See Table 2). Theme 1: “A sense of an axe hanging over your head” – Living with MM. Theme 2: “Every day’s a gift” – Hope. Theme 3: “It’s an opportunity to give and receive support” – Community. \nConclusions: This study highlights the unique needs of those in MM remission. Future research in MM remission may include development of a clinical tool to assist healthcare providers understand the goals of care of cancer survivors in remission. Increased utilization of oncology nurse navigators should be studied to determine the best process for connecting MM clients with resources such as support groups and financial aid.

Arias-Losado\, RN MS-L DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 21\, 2024 at 8:00 AM \nThe Experiences of Native Americans After a Nonfatal Suicide Event and Healthcare \n– Abstract – \nDissertation Chair: Dr. Tullamora Landis\, PhD\, RN-BC\, CNL \nNative Americans make up only 2% of the population\, yet have one of the highest suicide rates of any ethnic or racial group in the United States. High suicide rates in Native American communities can be attributed to a number of factors including historical trauma\, genocide\, and lack of access to healthcare. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Native Americans who had a nonfatal suicide attempt and their encounter with healthcare providers prior to receiving the Caring Contacts intervention. \nFive hundred and fifty-four Native American participants provided responses to three qualitative questions from the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire- 8 prior to receiving a culturally adapted suicide intervention. Thematic Analysis was used to interpret and identify patterns of meaning in the words of the Native participants. Through team analysis of the transcripts\, an understanding of the participant’s experiences was developed. Thematic Analysis\, with its idiographic focus\, allowed for insight into the Native participants’ experience and how they make sense of their experiences as a Native person that has attempted suicide. The information provided during the baseline interviews of the Native participants allowed for extrapolation of meaningful themes related to Communication (subthemes: Counseling\, Characteristics of Communication\, and Role of Staff Communication)\, Access (subthemes: Care Received\, Access to Medications\, and Access to Services) \, and Connection (subthemes: Provider Patient Relationship\, Coping Skills\, Provider Consistency\, and Culturally Congruent Care). The themes informed the patient perspective of the healthcare received. \nHealthcare workers\, specifically nurses\, may be the first person a Native person engages with post suicide attempt. It is imperative that nurses and all healthcare workers provide care to the Native patient after a suicide attempt that is culturally sensitive and void of stigma associated with both suicide\, race\, ethnicity\, and culture.

Limited research has explored substance use in nurses and the return-to-work process that RNs must engage in after licensure discipline related to substance use. With the looming nursing shortage\, it is critical to understand the factors that may be associated with substance use related licensure discipline and the barriers that RNs encounter when attempting to return to work. More research is needed to create evidence-based pathways that can facilitate successful reintegration to the workplace for RNs. \nAims: Describe the current state of substance use related licensure discipline among RNs in the United States in 2018-2023\nDescribe and analyze RN self-reported barriers in returning to work after licensure discipline related to substance use\nDescribe and analyze RN self-reported facilitators in returning to work after licensure discipline related to substance use \nMethods: The multi-method research\, which was guided by the Neuman Systems Model\, includes three studies: a retrospective analysis of substance use-related licensure discipline trends and characteristics using the National Practitioner Data Bank (Manuscript 1) and two Group Concept Mapping studies exploring the self-reported barriers (Manuscript 2) and facilitators (Manuscript 3) in the return-to-work process for nurses after licensure discipline related to substance use. \nResults: Comparisons of licensure discipline trends and characteristics between 2018 and 2023 found census region\, age\, and years of nursing experience to be significant variables across statistical tests. Substance use monitoring\, as a disciplinary outcome\, was the only action to have a statistically significant increase over the time period studied. In examining barriers and facilitators in the return-to-work process for nurses with a substance use monitoring agreement\, 11 distinct themes emerged through the Group Concept Mapping studies. The five themes within the barriers were Work-Related Challenges\, Financial Burden\, Administrative Challenges\, Impact on Mental Health\, and Peer and Co-Worker Support. The six themes within facilitators were Monitoring Recommendations\, Autonomy and Self-Efficacy\, Caring for the Caregivers/Prevention\, Nurses Helping Nurses\, Reintroduction to Practice\, and Positive Employer Factors.
