SUMMARY:ANNOUNCEMENT OF DOCTORAL FINAL EXAMINATION for Jordan Ferris\, RN
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 1\, 2024\, 8:00 AM \nSubstance Use Related Licensure Discipline in Nurses:\nFactors and Trends in the Return-to-Work (RTW) Process \nAbstract \nDissertation Chair: Dr. Marian Wilson\, PHD\, MPH\, RN\, PMGT-BC \nBackground: Substance use among Registered Nurses has significant consequences that can extend into their workplace and patient care delivery. 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.

SUMMARY:ANNOUNCEMENT OF DOCTORAL FINAL EXAMINATION for Randi M. 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.

SUMMARY:Examining the Impact of Historical Policies on Health Disparities (Part 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Health disparities disproportionately impact individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds and their communities. 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. Visit AACN’s On-Demand Webinars to watch.

SUMMARY:Spirituality and Spiritual Care in Nursing Education and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual care\, broadly defined as care of a person’s inner spirit\, is important for all nurses to understand and implement in practice. Research demonstrates that strengthening the inner spirit in turn influences the mind and body toward healing. This webinar focuses on the four areas defining what spirituality is and how it intersects with health. Spiritual care is also described\, using the acronym PLAY\, along with discussion on how to facilitate such care. Finally\, the most effective ways to train both students and working nurses are addressed\, and everyone is reminded that learning about spiritual care is a life-long journey. \nOutcomes: \nBy the end of this session\, viewers will be able to: \n\nDefine the four main aspects of the spiritual domain\nDescribe the three primary elements of spiritual care\nExplain the importance of spiritual care by nurses from both the nurse and the patient perspectives\n\nNote: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs.

SUMMARY:Interventional Pain Options for Spine Pain
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will provide an in-depth overview of interventional pain management options for healthcare professionals\, focusing on evidence-based techniques to address chronic pain. We will explore the role of epidural steroid injections (ESIs) in managing radicular pain\, the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for facet-mediated pain\, and the expanding indications for spinal cord stimulators (SCS) in neuropathic and refractory pain conditions. Additionally\, we will discuss the emerging field of regenerative medicine\, including the use of autologous biologics such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells\, as potential alternatives to traditional interventions. The lecture will emphasize patient selection\, clinical outcomes\, and the integration of these modalities into a comprehensive\, multimodal pain management strategy. Attendees will gain practical insights into optimizing treatment plans\, improving patient outcomes\, and navigating the evolving landscape of interventional pain medicine. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDescribe traditional medicine interventional options for spine related pain\nIdentify regenerative medicine options for spine related pain\nRecognize when a person should be referred for a surgical consultation\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Jamie Lewis\nDr. Jamie Lewis is a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a subspecialty in Pain Medicine\, dedicated to providing innovative and compassionate care to patients across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.
