Sociodemographic Indicators of Birth Rate in a Low Fertility Country–A Nationwide Study of 310 Finnish Municipalities Covering > 5,000,000 Inhabitants
Authors: Oura Petteri 
Published: April 2021

Background and Aims: Declining fertility is a key driver behind the rapid aging of populations worldwide. Finland has experienced a 25% decline in fertility from 2010 to date and ranks low even on the European and Nordic scales. This study aimed to address the association between sociodemographic indicators and birth rate (i.e., live births relative to total population) in Finland.Methods: Open data on 310 Finnish municipalities were retrieved from the public database of Statistics Finland. Several sociodemographic subdimensions (population structure, education and income, location and living, divorces, car ownership rate, and crime rate), each converted to standard deviation units, were modeled against birth rate at the municipality level using generalized estimating equations.Results: In this dataset, average annual birth rate was 8.8 per 1,000 individuals. Birth rate was positively associated with change in population size (rate ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.04−1.08), percentage of &lt;15-year-olds (1.29, 1.22−1.36), percentage of individuals living in their birth municipality (1.05, 1.03−1.08), and percentage of foreign language speakers (1.02, 1.01−1.04). In contrast, birth rate was negatively associated with percentage of ≥65-year-olds (0.90, 0.85−0.96), percentage of unemployed individuals (0.98. 0.95−0.99), income (0.92, 0.89−0.96), and number of individuals living in the same household unit (0.94, 0.90−0.98).Conclusion: The present findings are expected to advance the allocation of resources to areas and subpopulations that have high or low birth rate, and thus contribute to the development of a more family-friendly society. Future studies are encouraged to evaluate the sociodemographic indicators of birth rate in other low fertility countries, and to address the individual-level mechanisms behind the municipality-level associations identified in this study.
Vertex Colouring Edge Weightings: a Logarithmic Upper Bound on Weight-Choosability
Authors: Lyngsie Kasper Szabo , Zhong Liang 
Published: April 2021

A graph $G$ is said to be $(k,m)$-choosable if for any assignment of $k$-element lists $L_v \subset \mathbb{R}$ to the vertices $v \in V(G)$ and any assignment of $m$-element lists $L_e \subset \mathbb{R}$ to the edges $e \in E(G)$ there exists a total weighting $w: V(G) \cup E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of $G$ such that $w(v) \in L_v$ for any vertex $v \in V(G)$ and $w(e) \in L_e$ for any edge $e \in E(G)$ and furthermore, such that for any pair of adjacent vertices $u,v$, we have $w(u)+ \sum_{e \in E(u)}w(e) \neq w(v)+ \sum_{e \in E(v)}w(e)$, where $E(u)$ and $E(v)$ denote the edges incident to $u$ and $v$ respectively. In this paper we give an algorithmic proof showing that any graph $G$ without isolated edges is $(1, 2 \lceil \log_2(\Delta(G)) \rceil+1)$-choosable, where $\Delta(G)$ denotes the maximum degree in $G$.

Evaluation of an Arthritis Continuing Education Program
Authors: Dickinson Glenda R , Holzemer William L , Nichols Elizabeth 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
A knowledge test and chart audit were used to evaluate the way in which a formal continuing education program affected nurse behavior at a visiting nurse association. An experimental (n=13) and a control (n=15) group were randomly selected from a pool of visiting nurses. The experimental group attended a two-part, four-hour continuing education program on arthritis-related problems and interventions. The control group did not attend the program. Three to four weeks after the program was given, three charts of each nurse were randomly selected and examined by trained auditors who counted the number of arthritis problems and interventions recorded two to three weeks post program (n=84 charts audited).
It was anticipated that nurses who attended the continuing education program would be more knowledgeable about arthritis and be more likely to utilize new knowledge in patient care. A knowledge test was admin istered to both groups at the end of the training session. A t test revealed that the experimental groups scores were significantly higher (t=3.82, df=23, p=.001) than the control group.
It was hypothesized that those who attended the continuing education program would record more interventions. The nonpararaetric test, Mann Whitney U, revealed that the experimental group was significantly more likely to record arthritis interventions (p=.032). Thus, evaluation evidence supported the validity of the continuing education project.
Utilization of Efficiency Analyses in a Educational Department: Making an Informed Decision
Authors: Huegel Elizabeth A 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The decision to utilize cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis in a hospital education department may not represent the most efficient use of the departments resources. To make an informed decision requires an understanding of the potentialities and limitations of efficiency analysis and an appraisal of the decisions impact on the department. A critical examination of the pros and cons of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis is presented, followed by a suggested framework for decision-making. The weighing of the benefits and costs of efficiency analysis in terms of departmental needs and priorities allows the nurse educator to make a decision that optimizes the use of the department's resources.
Nursing Skills Fair: Gaining Knowledge with Fun and Games
Authors: Bradbury-Golas Kathleen , Carson Linda 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The body of nursing knowledge continues to expand and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) mandates managers and educators to maintain competence in their nursing staff members. Stricter reimbursement criteria for hospital care, however, severely restrict education budgets. Educational programs can be offered at a reasonable cost without putting the adult learner to sleep! The development and implementation of a successful nursing skills fair is discussed.

Authors: Kalnins Irene , Mahon Suzanne M , Casperson Donna S 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
During the past 2 years, a university provider of nursing continuing education and the local chapter of a specialty nursing organization have successfully collaborated in the delivery of continuing education. This collaborative approach has been effective for providing continuing education in oncology nursing that serves the needs of nurses in the geographic area and maximizes the effective use of the resources of both partners. This approach has also prevented overlaps in program planning dates and duplication of content within the geographical area. Additional benefits include a growth in membership for the specialty organization and a sustained level of interest and attendance in programs sponsored by the university provider.

ABSTRACT
Political savvy is not something with which one is born; instead it is a process that is learned, sometimes painfully, always demandingly. The purpose of this article is to identify strategies that will make a staff development department essential to organizational functioning and that will enhance both productivity and political survival. Critical to survival is the promotion of the three Vs of staff development: visibility, viability, and validity. Power and politics must be utilized to create an indispensable department.
Research in Psychiatry: Increasing Staff Knowledge and Experience
Authors: Roper Janice M 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
In a large psychiatric inpatient facility, a course on writing a research proposal was developed in response to nurses' requests to learn about conducting research. The research course was provided to a cross-section of registered nurses with a variety of education and experience backgrounds. The goal was the development of a proposal by each student by the end of the eight classes. The success of this first course was attributed to RN/instructor enthusiasm, support from nursing administration, and the ability to continue mentoring of RNs as they conducted their studies.
Creating a New Learning Experience: "The Story of Art" and "Prudent Art"
Authors: Bonheur Barbara Brown 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The signs and symptoms of an impending cardiac arrest and the appropriate interventions are two concepts that need to be taught in the American Heart Association's Basic Life Support (BLS) course. CPR education is also required annually for all hospital employees who are direct caregivers. Developing teaching strategies that renew interest in the content and facilitate learning and retention is a challenge for BLS instructors. "The Story of Art" and "Prudent Art" utilize narrative and visual images to teach the signs and symptoms of an impending cardiac arrest and appropriate interventions. This article describes the development of this creative learning experience.
How Do You Want to Improve Yourself? Nursing Education Administration and Faculty Attitudes Toward Types of Faculty Development
Authors: Dunkley Norma A 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to survey the perceived effectiveness of: (1) on-campus workshops, (2) off-campus workshops, (3) consultations, (4) leaves, (5) grants, (6) courses or seminars, and (7) special assignments for the faculty development of academic roles of nursing faculty. Faculty roles considered were: (1) classroom teaching, (2) clinical teaching, (3) research, (4) service to the institution, (5) community service, and (6) leadership. The samples of the study included 12 nursing administrators and 105 full-time and parttime faculty of the 13 nursing programs in the City University of New York (CUNY). Faculty development grants were rated highest by both administrators and faculty members. Both rated off-campus workshops second. Administrators and faculty perceived developmental activities in the area of research as most effective, followed by classroom teaching, clinical teaching, leadership, service to the institution, and community service. Faculty perceptions of the effectiveness of the seven techniques of faculty development were uniformly higher than administrator perceptions. Faculty members perceived development for classroom teaching, clinical teaching, and service to the institution more positively than did administrators.
The Relationship Between a Calculation Test Given in Nursing Orientation and Medication Errors
Authors: Calliari Donna 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
This article presents a descriptive study that investigates the relationship between pass/fail scores on a medication test given to registered nurses in orientation and medication errors made on nursing units. Medication errors made during a 3-year period of time were reviewed to determine number of errors made and the nurses who made the errors. Pass/fail scores from the medication test given in orientation were checked to see whether the nurses who made the errors had passed or failed the test. Chi square, t test, and multiple regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results showed that nurses who failed the medication test were more likely to make medication errors than nurses who had passed the medication test.

Authors: Staring Susan Lea 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
159 ICU nurses in 2 university teaching hospitals were surveyed regarding their motivational orientations for continuing education attendance. Overall, the sample was primarily motivated by reasons related to cognitive interest and professional advancement. T tests between day shift and night shift on each of 6 subscales of the Education Participation Scale were not significant. Significant correlations between mean scores on some subscales and demographic and social data were revealed. Implications for nursing administrators and educators are discussed.
Using Videoteleconferencing for Continuing Education and Staff Development Programs
Authors: Heidenreiter Terrence J 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
In times of tight budgets for continuing nursing education and staff development, using live, interactive videoteleconferencing is one approach to maintaining the quality and viability of continuing education programs. Participation in professionally produced closed circuit, satellite, or cable broadcast continuing education programs can be the first step in that effort. Careful planning for and promotion of the use of such broadcasts may not only enhance a hospital's education programs and facilitate learning, but may also prove financially beneficial.
Is Research in the Practice Setting Feasible?
Authors: Wade Gail Holland 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Staff development educators are in key positions to assist staff nurses with practice-oriented research, a necessary part of clinical practice. The first step in developing an environment conducive to practice-oriented research is the establishment of a "working committee" within existing quality assurance or standards committees. As committee chairpersons, staff development educators can help staff nurses recognize the research potential inherent in practice by relating research terminology to the nursing process. Examples of client care problems illustrate how nurses can exert control over their practice and effect positive change.
Development and Implementation of a Leadership Skills Course for the Charge Nurse
Authors: Cartier Theresa L 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Formal education in leadership behaviors and skills is paramount to the development of staff nurses as effective leaders. The need for effective leadership during the present transformation of healthcare, and the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Health Care Organization's mandate to educate and train staff as appropriate to their job responsibilities, resulted in the development and implementation of a leadership skills course for the staff charge nurse. A literature review, input from experienced charge nurses, and clinical nurse managers' perspectives of what is effective leadership for a charge nurse played key roles in development and implementation of the course.
A Descriptive Study of Continuing Nursing Education Programs in Academic Settings
Authors: Kuramoto Alice M 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
This article describes survey results from 24 collegiate continuing nursing education programs in the United States. The purpose was to collect baseline data regarding the role of the continuing education (CE) administrator, the characteristics of financial information, and the organizational structure of the department. The findings showed that roles and responsibilities of the directors in continuing nursing education include both administrative activities and faculty responsibilities. The trend toward decreasing enrollments of CE registrants will make it imperative for the CE administrator to explore creative programming directions, configure an affordable staffing arrangement within the organization, and generate new sources of program revenue.
A Comparative Evaluation of Two Educational Strategies to Promote Publication by Nurses
Authors: Henninger Dawn E , Nolan Marie T 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: Two group educational strategies to promote publication by nurses at The Johns Hopkins Hospital were evaluated and found to result in similar success rates.
Method: Eighteen nurses, divided into two groups, attended three monthly sessions for instruction, guidance, and encouragement on writing and publishing. One group received additional guidance and encouragement during quarterly meetings for 1 year. Data were collected on participants' characteristics and publication success rates.
Results: Both groups achieved similar publication success rates.
Conclusion: A group education program to promote publication by novice nurse authors achieved positive outcomes and used resources more cost-effectively than the traditional method of individual instruction and guidance. Two factors having positive effects on publication success were: a) having a clear topic for publication at the outset of the educational program, and b) holding a positive perception of the value placed on publication within one's practice environment. The authors suggest alternative educational and other strategies to encourage nurses to share their clinical knowledge through publication.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major health problem in the United States. Nurses may be exposed to TB and not realize their risks for becoming infected. The presentation of HIV-associated TB is somewhat different from "standard TB."
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if an educational program could improve nurses' attitudes, level of knowledge, and compliance with infection control standards for HIV/AIDS patients diagnosed with TB.
Method: Participants included 50 staff nurses. The experimental group (35) and control group (15) completed a knowledge test and an attitude survey. Researchers observed participants for compliance with infection control standards pretest and posttest.
Results: Following an educational program, the experimental group demonstrated a greater knowledge of TB than the control group who did not participate in the educational program (F [1,47] = 14.43, p = .000). In addition, the experimental group had a greater improvement in their Nursing Intervention Observation Tool adherence to respiratory isolation and universal precaution protocols scores as compared to the control group (F [1,47] = 8.95, p = .004). However, there was not a tangible increase in knowledge level of AIDS, attitudes or concerns about caring for these patients.
Conclusion: This nursing research study supports the need for an ongoing educational program with continual monitoring of infection control practices to positively affect client and caregiver outcomes.
Preparing Nurses for the Acute Care Case Manager Role: Educational Needs Identified by Existing Case Managers
Authors: Nolan Marie T , Harris Alexandra , Kufta Amanda , Opfer Nancy , Turner Holley 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: There is little in the literature about how best to prepare nurses for case manager roles.
Method: Twenty acute care case managers were asked to identify skills and knowledge that would be of value to nurses new to case manager roles.
Results: Community resources, discharge planning, and third party reimbursement were the top three educational needs identified by all case managers. Baccalaureate prepared case managers identified clinical issues to be of value, such as family coping, patient education, quality of life, and social support, while master's prepared nurses identified only system-related issues.
Conclusion: Educational programs preparing baccalaureate prepared case managers could focus on both clinical and system issues, while programs preparing master's educated case managers could focus primarily on managing system issues. Staff development professionals may also call on experts inside and outside the institution to assist in teaching about health care finance and reimbursement issues.
