محاولات في تيسير تعليم النحو
Authors: Basith Abdul
Published: February 2018

Nahwu becomes the most debated discourse in the Arabic language teaching. There are so many problems appear both in the case of the learning material and the learning methods. This article describes those problems by elaborating the causes of learning difficulties in Nahwu. One of the problems comes from the existence of excessive ‘amil and ‘illat. It reveals a judgment that Nahwu has been combined with philosophy. Consequently, there are some learners who judge that learning Arabic is difficult. Therefore, this article also presents the easy ways in learning Nahwu, both given by classic ulama and modern linguists. One of the efforts done by classic ulama is by reviewing the theory of ‘amil, while the modern linguists try to expand the concept of Nahwu so that it is not limited to i’rab only.

Foreign Policy During the Vietnam War
Authors: Menebhi Syeda
Published: February 2018

The United States became deeply involved in Vietnam during the 1960s largely due to America’s desire to assure that developing countries modernize as capitalist and democratic. Thus, American involvement began with economic and social support in South Vietnam. Yet slowly, throughout the presidencies of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, the goal of modernizing South Vietnamese society and containing communism became increasingly implemented by military means. Further, it seems clear that, regardless of how much effort the United States geared towards Vietnam, American defeat was inevitable. By Richard Nixon’s presidency, the initial modernization goals in Vietnam mattered only in so far as they could preserve American credibility. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon all failed to realize that while U.S. time was limited in Vietnam, the North Vietnamese had all the time they needed to fight for the independence of their country. The South Vietnamese forces could not defend themselves and the United States had to withdraw eventually.
Educational Innovation Brief: Educating Graduate Nursing Students on Value Based Purchasing
Authors: Farrell Kristen
Published: February 2018

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act implemented value-based purchasing to raise the bar on quality care and patient satisfaction in healthcare facilities. The time has come to educate graduate nursing students on the reality of quality indicators and the impact that advanced practice nurses will have on these initiatives. This educational brief describes implementation of an educational session developed for graduate nursing students on VBP and the APN role. The content for the education was derived from an extensive literature review, The Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing, and the clinical experience of the author. The education was presented to 12 Master’s in nursing students utilizing a presentation with a pre-/post-test, followed by a question and answer session. Pre/post test scores showed an average increase in mean score of 17 points. Students’ enthusiasm indicated that the content would be of benefit to them as they transitioned to the APN role. Consistent with The Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing, specific to Essential III (Quality Improvement and Safety), it is recommended that current quality initiatives specific in the APN role be integrated into the curriculum.
Surgical Skills for the APRN Student: A Low-Fidelity Simulation Experience
Authors: Heath Jason
Published: February 2018

There are many contemporary areas of practice available to the ACNP to date that encompass a surgical component of practice. Surgical specialty settings require a practitioner to be competent in a specialized base of knowledge as well as possess a fundamental set of psychomotor skills to practice competently. Unlike the training of the PA, ACNP programs do not typically address surgical theory or skills. The purpose of the program was to increase graduate nursing student confidence in basic surgical skills. The review of the literature examined the differences between the educational preparation of the PA and the NP, expansion of the NP role in surgery, as well as the use of simulation in graduate nursing education. The program incorporated a surgical skills lab concluding with a low-fidelity simulation experience. Skills addressed included the surgical hand scrub, donning surgical attire, and simple wound closure techniques. The sample comprised of 13 subjects representing 65% of the population meeting the inclusion criteria. The program was evaluated using a researcher designed and validated non-experimental Likert type survey measuring subject confidence both pre and post intervention. Responses to the nine Likert scale questions demonstrated a statistical increase from the pre-intervention to the post-intervention survey. Two participants reported utilized the new attained knowledge and skills during their final semester surgical clinical practicum. Incorporating surgical theory and skill training into graduate nursing education is vital if the ACNP would like to remain competitive with the PA in the surgical specialty job market.
Nurses' Perceptions of Nurse Staffing and the Impact on Patient Falls
Authors: Henry Kristin
Published: February 2018

Patient falls contribute to unnecessary injury and incapacitation for patients and are also a major source of stress for the nurses caring for patients who fall. Hospitals are no longer being reimbursed for extended hospital stays related to injuries caused by patient falls and action is needed to decrease such events. Nurse staffing has been shown to play a critical role in determining the incidence of patient falls, with better nurse staffing decreasing the likelihood of a patient falling. The purpose of this study was to determine nurses’ perceptions of nurse staffing and its impact on the incidence of patient falls. The methodology included a short, self-administered survey developed by the researcher. Nurses answered 15 questions related to the number of patients they cared for, number of patient falls, and factors that could influence falls. Nurses who completed the survey reported caring for between 2-7 patients on their last shift and reported between 0-2 falls on their assignment within the previous three months. Nurses indicated that factors such as admission and discharge activity, the number of available staff on the unit, and the acuity of patients on the unit impacted patient falls. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between nurse staffing and the incidence of patient falls. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are in an ideal position to participate in research related to this topic as well to advocate for nursing’s role in preventing patient falls.
Exploring Nurses' Knowledge about Heart Failure before and after the Implementation of a Heart Failure Education Program
Authors: Richmond Suzanne
Published: February 2018

Heart failure (HF) has become a national epidemic, with 5.7 million Americans currently living with HF. Although HF is incurable, it is manageable if health care professionals apply current practice guidelines to patient teaching. Nurses are charged with providing comprehensive education about HF self-­‐management and it is imperative they stay abreast of evidence-­‐based guidelines. The purpose of this project was to explore the current HF knowledge of Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) registered nurse Care Managers employed at the Providence Veterans Administration Medical Center (PVAMC). The logic model and Knowles andragogy theory assisted this researcher in the creation of a clear, organized and systematic approach to assessing Care Managers’ knowledge and in planning a HF education program that was sensitive to the needs of adult learners. Nine Care Managers participated in two HF educational meetings and completed the Texas Tech University HF on-­‐line module. The Nurses Knowledge of Heart Failure Principles (NKHFP) questionnaire was administered to the Care Managers as pre and post-­‐tests to identify gaps in knowledge prior to and following this HF education program. The Care Managers incorrectly answered pivotal questions related to HF, indicating they may not have the most current knowledge of HF principles. Although the study was limited by a small sample size, it confirmed similar results found in the literature from studies that included larger numbers of participants. These findings suggest the need for continuing education programs that develop nursing competencies in patient teaching of high risk populations, such as HF patients, to enhance disease self-­‐management.
Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing
Authors: Linde Sandra
Published: February 2018

Evidenced-based practice (EBP) as defined by the Institute of Medicine(IOM) is the integration of "best research with clinical expertise and patient values for optimum care"(IOM, 2003, p.45-46). Evidence-based practice (EBP) is considered a standard for safe and quality care (Carlson & Plonczynski, 2008). Healthcare leaders recognize EBP as an integral part of achieving quality outcomes and attaining high reliability. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has established a goal that 90% of healthcare decisions in the United States be evidenced based by the year 2020 (IOM, 2009). Despite the fact that EBP has been promoted for many years, inconsistencies in implementation and adoption have been noted. Barriers to the implementation of EBP need to be understood. Assessing organizational culture has been identified as a necessary first step in to overcoming common barriers (Carlson & Plonczynski, 2008; Frasure, 2008). The purpose of this study was to assess the practice, attitudes and knowledge of EBP in registered nurses using the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ). The study used a descriptive design with convenience sampling. All staff registered nurses (RNs), Clinical Managers (CMs) and Assistant Clinical Managers (ACMs) on inpatient units within a large medical center in the Northeast were invited to participate in this survey. Study results are similar to those found in literature previously cited: a positive attitude towards EBP with a lower perception of knowledge or practice (Melnyk et al., 2004) and belief that more knowledge is needed (Alspach, 2006; Melnyk et al., 2004; Melnyk, Fineout-Overholt, Gallagher-Ford, & Kaplan, 2012). This assessment indicates a degree of environmental readiness and provides relative estimation of educational needs.
Safe Opiod Prescribing Guidelines for APRN Students
Authors: Chartier Ashley
Published: February 2018

Advanced Practice Nurses (APRN) are the forefront of healthcare that provide care to individuals, families, groups and communities. With the opioid epidemic on the rise in Rhode Island and nationally, it is imperative to teach APRN students safe prescribing of opioids. The purpose of this study was to increase advanced practice nursing students’ awareness and knowledge of safe opioid prescribing guidelines. The design of this study was a quantitative pre- and post-survey, to measure APRN students’ knowledge and attitude regarding pain. The study took place at Rhode Island College (RIC) Graduate Nursing Program located in Providence, Rhode Island. The inclusion criteria aligned second semester senior graduate nursing students in Nursing 620- Adult Health/Illness III, Spring Semester of 2017 who were present for class on the day of the pre- and post-survey. The students received lecture content of Safe Opioid Prescribing within the curriculum of Nursing 620. Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (Ferrell & McCaffery, 2014) was distributed as the pre- and post-survey tool. Twelve pre- and post-surveys were utilized for data collection (n=12). The results demonstrated APRN students have a lack of knowledge and attitudes in pain management, however, participants were able to increase their score following the educational opportunity. Currently, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN] (2016) reports 204 nursing schools have pledged to incorporate these guidelines into their curriculum. Instituting the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain in RIC graduate nursing school curriculum will increase APRN’s knowledge and attitudes on safe prescribing. To date, there is diminutive research available on the knowledge and attitudes of APRN students on safe opioid prescribing. Further research is indicated.

LANGUAGE TRANSFER IN LEARNER LANGUAGE
Authors: Warsono Warsono
Published: February 2018

In using the foreign language they are learning, learners tend to use forms that deviate from the target language (TL) norms. The question that arises is whether these forms are the result of transfer or the result of some other causes; and if transfer does exist in learner language, whether it diminishes with the development of the learner TL achievement. This paper tries to find answers to these questions by (1) reviewing some related literature, and (2) looking at some data of learners’ written production of Indonesian learners of English. The data were collected from the writings of the fifth semester students of the English Department (group A, representing low level of L2 achievement), and the final projects written by the English Department students (group B, representing high level of L2 achievement). In this paper, all forms that deviate from the TL norms were called errors, irrespective of whether they were, in fact, mistakes or real errors. The learners’ errors were broadly classified into two classes: intralingual errors and interlingual errors, and it was the latter that became the focus of this study on the assumption that interlingual errorswere caused by L1 transfer. The results of data analysis showed that intralingual errors were slightly higher in group A than interlingual ones; but in group B interlingual errors formed the majority of errors made by the learners (75%). It can be concluded that L1 transfer does exist in the L2 of the Indonesian learners of English. The results also showed that L1 transfer does not diminish with the development of the L2 achievement. It is strongly suggested, therefore, that Indonesian English teachers anticipate the errors caused by L1 transfer and find ways to solve the problems.

Background: ulcer is a pathological condition characterized by the loss of epithelial tissue. The average prevalence of ulcers in the oral cavity ranges between 15-30%. Paste of mangosteen rind which agent called xanthone can accelerate ulcer healing process, however histopathological observation of PMN (Polymorphonuclear) numbers and fibroblasts cells are required.Purpose: to determine the ability of mangosteen rind in treating ulcers caused by infection, mechanical and chemical trauma from the numbers of PMN and fibroblasts cells.Method: experimental studies, pre-posttest control group design, with randomized technique, total sample of 36 Male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups @ 6 where 3 treatment groups were smeared paste of rind mangosteen and the others without treatment, then from each group were decapitated onday 3rd, 7th and 10th. Result: Ulcer from mechanical and chemical trauma had been healing on 7th day compared with untreated on 9th day. Similarly ulcer infection has been healing on 9th day compared with untreated on 10th day. Anova test(repeated) shows that there is diameter difference significantly between day 1 to 8 (pvalue<0,001). The usage of xanthone decreases amount of PMN cells during inflammation phase and increases amount of fibroblast cells during proliferation phase.Conclusion: xanthone could accelerate healing process as well as shrinkage of ulcus diameter compared with untreated ulcer.
