Creating Healing Environments Through the Theory of Caring November 2016; 104(5) 401–409

Abstract: We describe the journey of personnel at one hospital to create a healing environment for patients and staff members at all levels through the implementation of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring and her Caritas Processes (ie, loving kindness, authentic presence, spirituality, being the environment, believing in miracles). We used experiential teaching and learning to explore the nursing theory with staff members. Positive outcomes include using Caritas Processes care plans in our electronic medical record, greater ease in the understanding and application of Watson’s theory, integrating a blessing for nurses during National Nurses Week, inclusion of ministry formation courses to extend the mission of the hospital’s founding religious order to current and future employees, and positive patient feedback. As a result of theory application, our nurses are more open to discussing caring, authentic presence and, when appropriate, prayer in their clinical narratives and how it is affecting patients and themselves.

Danielle's Pick from the Literature - September 2016

Here are my picks from the literature for September 2016. Articles are accessible to St. Joseph Nurses via the Burlew Medical Library website. Or contact the library at 714-771-8291 for assistance.

1. Nursing research ethics, guidance and application in practice. Doody, Owen; Noonan, Maria; British Journal of Nursing, 7/28/2016; 25(14): 803-807.

Abstract: Ethics is fundamental to good research practice and the protection of society. From a historical point of view, research ethics has had a chequered past and without due cognisance there is always the potential for research to do harm. Research ethics is fundamental to research practice, nurse education and the development of evidence. In conducting research, it is important to plan for and anticipate any potential or actual risks. To engage in research, researchers need to develop an understanding and knowledge of research ethics and carefully plan how to address ethics within their research. This article aims to enhance students’ and novice researchers’ research ethics understanding and its application to nursing research.

St. Joseph Hospital Nurses Publish Article

Congratulations to Beth Winokur, PhD, RN, CEN, Dana Rutledge, PhD, RN and Amy Hayes, MSN, RN for their newly published article on factors that motivate or impede nurses employed by a Magnet® organization to pursue a baccalaureate education. SJO employees have access to the full article through Burlew Medical Library. Contact library staff for more details.

MAGNET® FACILITY NURSES: PURSUING A BACCALAUREATE DEGREE IN NURSING
ELIZABETH J. WINOKUR, PHD, RN, CEN, DANA N. RUTLEDGE, PHD, RN, AND AMY HAYES, MSN, RN

Abstract: The aim is to explore factors that motivate and obstacles that impede nurses from pursuing baccalaureate education when employed by a Magnet® organization. In the Future of Nursing (2011), the Institute of Medicine concluded that the baccalaureate should be the minimum education for nurses. Magnet organizations are encouraged to meet the Institute of Medicine goal of 80% of nurses with a baccalaureate by 2020. In February 2014, a 15-item on-line survey was sent to nurses at a western Magnet-designated hospital to assess factors that motivate registered nurses to achieve a baccalaureate. Descriptive statistics and a general thematic analysis were completed. A 20% response rate (N = 191) was achieved. Most respondents (78%) entered nursing as associate degree/diploma graduates, and most (84%) either had a baccalaureate or master's degree or were currently enrolled in school. Encouragement from other nurses was the factor most frequently selected as facilitating return to school. Impeding factors included age and family responsibilities. A minority of nurses reported that they did not believe that a baccalaureate would make them a better nurse. Findings suggest that peer and leadership support play a larger role in facilitating baccalaureate completion more than previously reported. Additional research is needed to explore the role of registered nurse to registered nurse encouragement in facilitating educational advancement.
