The Impact of Graduate Education on Reading for Lifelong Learning
Authors: Armstrong Myrna L , Johnston Barbara A , Bridges Ruth Ann , Gessner Barbara A 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Reading is one means of achieving professional lifelong learning, and while nursing as a profession has an abundance of literary resources, the amount of time nurses actually spend reading is unknown. Previous studies found nurses who had graduate degrees, were in leadership positions, and held multiple memberships in professional nursing organizations reported increased reading time. This study examined the amount of time RN students entering graduate school and graduate school alumni spend reading as well as their primary purpose (interest, application, and commitment) for the reading.
Method: A descriptive/exploratory survey research design was used. The Reading Activity Inventory Tool was administered to new graduate (entry) students (n = 47) during orientation to their graduate program and graduate alumni (n = 99) who were 1, 2, and 3 years postcompletion of their masters degrees. Participants were recruited from four Texas nursing schools.
Findings: The average weekly time participants reported reading professional literature was 10 hours and 50 minutes for the entry group and 6 hours for the alumni group. As to the purpose (interest, application, and commitment) of reading the nursing literature, there was no significant difference on total interest or total application among the four cohorts (entry students and 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-year alumni). Entry students had a higher total commitment to reading than alumni nurses.
Conclusion: While entry students spent more time reading in this study, the alumni with advanced degrees seemed invested in the profession with significantly more journal subscriptions, increased memberships in nursing organizations, and consistent reading activities. Strategies to encourage all nurses to read for lifelong learning need io be explored.

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Focus groups were used to determine what factors need to be considered when designing a professional development program for RNs practicing at a military community hospital.
Method: Six focus groups were formed with RNs from multiple directorates and settings within various specialties.
Findings: Five thematic groupings were identified: 1) specific professional development needs for leadership, clinical/specialty practice, competence development, and maintenance, 2) methods for providing continuing education, 3) methods for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of continuing education, 4) barriers to professional development, and 5) professional development issues impacting retention of military nurses.
Conclusion: The professional development needs oí RNs practicing in military hospitals are complex and multifaceted. The thematic groupings identified guided the design of a professional development program for RNs.
A Continuous Quality Improvement Approach to Improving Clinical Practice in the Areas of Sedation, Analgesia, and Neuromuscular Blockade
Authors: Arbour Richard 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Practice concerns associated with the medical prescription and nurses' administration and monitoring of sedatives, analgesics, and neuromuscular blocking agents were identified by the clinical nurse specialist within a surgical intensive care unit of a large, tertiary-care referral center. These concerns were identified using a variety of needs assessment strategies. Results of the needs assessment were used to develop a program of care, including a teaching initiative, specific to these practice areas.
Methods: The teaching initiative incorporated principles of andragogy, the theory of adult learning. Educational techniques included inservice education, bedside instruction using "teaching moments," competency-based education modules, and integration of instruction into critical care orientation. Content and approach were based on the background and level of experience of participants.
Results: Educational program outcomes included increased consistency in monitoring neuromuscular blockade by clinical assessment and peripheral nerve stimulation. A second outcome was more accurate patient assessment leading to the provision of drug therapy specific to the patients' clinical states, including anxiety or pain.
Conclusion: The continuous quality improvement approach offers a model for improving patient care using individualized needs assessment, focused educational interventions, and program evaluation strategies.
Curriculum Considerations for Enhancing Baccalaureate Learning for International Students
Authors: Pardue Karen T , Haas Barbara 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: International students studying nursing in the United States present unique teaching opportunities and challenges. Student language, culture, and academic expectations are major factors for faculty to consider in delivering international education.
Methods: An RN to BSN program provides baccalaureate completion study for registered nurses residing in Israel. Students can choose to complete the final semester in the United States.
Findings: Israeli nursing students demonstrate a strong collectivistic orientation to their academic work. Issues related to English language fluency and academic paper preparation were identified.
Conclusion: Success in international teaching endeavors is facilitated when faculty carefully evaluate course materials and assignments. Clarity of language, cultural expectations, and availability of academic resources are important considerations for promoting student success.
A Strategy for Involving On-Campus and Distance Students in a Nursing Research Course
Authors: Shuster George F , Learn Cheryl Demerth , Duncan Robert 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Teaching research at the undergraduate level can be a challenge. This is particularly true for distance education courses, in which students often feel isolated from each other and from faculty. Faculty teaching on-campus and distance education research courses designed a student research project and a method for bringing distance and on-campus students together to present their research findings.
Method: By actively engaging students in the research process and providing an on-campus research day for the presentation of student posters (Year 1) and research papers (Year 2), course faculty were able to achieve their two goals of directly involving students in the nursing research process and creating a greater student sense of belonging within the college learning community.
Results: Statistical analysis of an evaluation survey among on-site and off-site registered nurse to bachelor of science in nursing students indicated both groups ranked the Year 1 poster research day as good to very good. Students attending the Year 2 research day, where they presented papers, ranked the day as good. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between the two research days, with a clear student preference for posters.
Conclusion: Students valued their active participation in the research process and the opportunity to get together and present their work. However, students clearly preferred a poster presentation format to presenting their findings as a research paper.

ABSTRACT
Background: The healthcare industry is currently experiencing a severe shortage of nurses and other allied healthcare professionals. To compound this crisis, the current workforce does not mirror the growing linguistic and cultural diversity of the population needing health care. This article describes a community partnership approach to creating educational and career opportunities in nursing and other health sciences for young, multicultural, bilingual teenagers.
Method: Several community organizations joined together to design and implement an 8week summer program entitled "Start Out," which served to integrate life planning, mentorship, nursing assistant training, and college application assistance while providing summer salary stipends and work scholarship opportunities. Twenty-seven students participated in the program.
Results: Twenty-four bilingual, economically disadvantaged teenagers 16 to 19 years old, from the greater Seattle metropolitan area, completed the first session of this innovative program and passed the certified nursing assistant examination.
Conclusion: Culturally focused assistance programs may provide an avenue to meet the current nursing shortage and provide healthcare workers who can be sensitive to the cultural and linguistic needs of the growing ethnic population.
A Case Study of the Use of Telemedicine by Advanced Practice Nurses in Rural Missouri
Authors: Armer Jane M 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Telemedicine aims to increase access to health care through the use of technology, but its impact on rural health care has had limited study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of newly implemented telemedicine systems on rural practice and patient care in the Missouri Telemedicine Network.
Method: Telemedicine equipment and hookups were provided to satellite clinics and nonaffiliated clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, and health departments in three rural counties. Qualitative research methods were used to elicit data and develop a case study report of the experience of the rural nurse practitioner's use of telemedicine technology. Results were then compared with those of three other counties without telemedicine technology.
Results: Advanced practice nurses reported professional development and connectedness with telemedicine capability. Those with telemedicine access reported both current and potential applications of technology to practice. Both formal and informal learning opportunities were cited. Those without telemedicine access viewed telemedicine as potentially supportive of enhanced patient care and professional satisfaction.
Conclusion: This preliminary study provides support for the role of telemedicine in augmenting the role of the advanced practice nurse in a variety of rural settings.
Resourcing Nursing Education Through Collaboration
Authors: Mathews Mary Beth 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
The nursing shortage is also a nursing faculty shortage. The shortage of nurses can only be managed if the shortage of faculty is addressed. The profession needs creative and rigorous "research and development" strategies to secure sufficient educator resources across practice settings. Recent position statements of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the National League for Nursing on nursing education and the preparation of nurse educators recommend specific actions to meet these needs. The author calls for purposeful and creative collaboration between educators in academic and service settings to resource nursing education, now and in our future.

Published: January 2019

AbstractOBJECTIVE. We determined the feasibility and effects of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO–OP) ApproachTM on activity performance and satisfaction, symptoms, and mood of adolescents with persistent postconcussion symptoms.METHOD. In a prospective case series, 3 participants with persistent symptoms 3 mo after concussion and difficulties resuming activities were taught to use a metacognitive strategy (Goal–Plan–Do–Check) to work toward occupation-based goals in a 7-wk intervention (10 sessions, 30–60 min each). Participants were assessed pre- and postintervention and at 3-mo follow-up. Feasibility was determined by positive changes on study measures, ease of administration, and acceptability to participants.RESULTS. Clinically significant, positive changes were found in participants’ activity performance and satisfaction. All participants had decreases in symptoms and improved mood scores at posttest.CONCLUSION. The CO–OP Approach to rehabilitation for youth postconcussion is feasible and may make a positive contribution to recovery.
Gênese e principais precursores da Bioética
Authors: Dos Santos Braga da Fonseca Pedro Miguel 
Published: January 2019

O século XX ficou, indiscutivelmente, marcado por uma sucessão de acontecimentos que, para além de terem chocado
o mundo, provocaram um extraordinário avanço no estudo e na análise da disciplina Bioética. Tornadas públicas as
horrendas violações dos direitos fundamentais básicos do ser humano, tanto as que ocorreram durante a Segunda
Guerra Mundial como as que se verificaram nos Estados Unidos (e que só foram conhecidas na década de 70), a
Bioética conheceu uma destacável e notória expansão motivada pela pressão social, por impulso governamental e/ou
pelo crescente interesse demonstrado por vários teóricos expertos na matéria. Esse desenvolvimento tem sido uma
constante ao longo das últimas décadas. No entanto, o ponto fulcral ou de viragem no entendimento da atual Bioética
deve-se à obra de Beauchamp e Childress, Principles of Biomedical Ethics, em que os autores definiram os princípios
mais relevantes e de obrigatório respeito em todas as investigações e ensaios clínicos realizados sobre seres humanos.
Mundo mágico dos contos de fadas: vozes das crianças
Authors: Peres Gonçalves Josiane , De Souza Nunes Marques 
Published: January 2019

O presente estudo tem por finalidade analisar a influência dos contos de fadas no processo de compreensão de situações vivenciadas pelas
crianças no cotidiano, estabelecendo relações com o imaginário infantil e com questões de gênero. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, foi desenvolvida com 20 crianças, sendo um grupo do jardim III e outro do 4º ano do ensino fundamental, em que foram narrados os contos João e Maria e Chapeuzinho Vermelho. Em seguida, foram feitos questionamentos para analisar a opinião das crianças, sendo todo
o processo registrado através de filmagem. Os resultados indicam que, mediante os contos, o imaginário das crianças é estimulado e elas
estabelecem relações da história com a sua própria vida, externalizando seu pensamento sobre questões conflituosas, como medo, perdas,
morte, entre outras. Também reproduzem padrões culturais relativos a gênero, como se o masculino fosse o mais forte e inteligente, e o
feminino o mais frágil, dependente.
Reflective Equilibrium, Judgments of Coherence, and Judgments of Beauty
Authors: Brickhouse-Bryson Devon 
Published: January 2019

AbstractReflective equilibrium is a powerful and popular method of theory evaluation. This article argues that the judgments of coherence required by the method are unexplained by the going accounts of reflective equilibrium and that they are best understood as a species of judgments of beauty. It argues that the distinctive feature of judgments of beauty is that they are unprincipled and yet nevertheless possible and that judgments of coherence share this distinctive feature. This conclusion entails that reflective equilibrium is a partially aesthetic method of theory evaluation and that part of using the method is evaluating candidate theories by their beauty.
Primarias abiertas presidenciales en el Cono Sur ¿un método necesario y conveniente? Análisis de los casos de Argentina, Chile y Uruguay
Authors: Gallo Adriana 
Published: January 2019

En este trabajo se indaga acerca del sistema de internas o primarias abiertas, en los tres países –Argentina, Chile y Uruguay- en los que éstas fueron formalmente adoptadas, a través de una perspectiva metodológica comparada.
Aquí procuraremos averiguar si el procedimiento de las primarias abiertas es necesario (es decir, si los beneficios perseguidos con su aplicación emergen como respuestas a problemáticas existentes en la sociedad) y si es conveniente (si se producen determinadas condiciones que permitan que tales beneficios superen los costos ocultos que acarrea), evaluando todas las elecciones transcurridas desde su incorporación.
Observamos que los beneficios buscados no se han obtenido hasta ahora, en ninguno de los tres casos; lo cual terminó promoviendo la fragmentación, la inconsistencia interna y la pérdida de relevancia de los partidos políticos en el marco de un sistema democrático.
Análise das comppetências legislativas municipais sobre o enfoque da administração pública gerencial

Published: January 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as contribuições da administração pública gerencial nos processos de execução das competências legislativas municipais. Obteve-se como resultado a efetiva demonstração de que a administração pública gerencialista traz maiores benefícios aos cidadãos, porém, para garantir uma prestação de serviços públicos efetivos em âmbito é preciso ir além da redefinição da atuação dos municípios necessitando, por exemplo, de um melhor repasse de verbas para a efetivação de suas competências. Conclui-se então que o município, ao pautar suas ações sob a ótica da administração pública gerencialista tem a possibilidade de aumentar a efetividade na prestação dos serviços públicos, atingindo seu objetivo fundamental que é o interesse local. Ao estabelecer metas a serem cumpridas, criando um balanço entre as delimitações constitucionais e o interesse local, o administrador municipal alcança um sistema de funcionamento que se aperfeiçoa com o decurso do tempo, mas principalmente concede ao cidadão um rol de benefícios aos quais ele tem direito. Porém, é preciso ampliar também o repasse de verbas, por exemplo, para que os municípios tenham condição de dar mais efetividade às políticas públicas de interesse da sociedade.
Checklist to the Elatostema (Urticaceae) of Vietnam including 19 new records, ten new combinations, two new names and four new synonyms

Elatostema (Urticaceae) comprises several hundred herbaceous species distributed in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania. The greatest species richness occurs on limestone karst in Southeast Asia. Taxonomic revisions of Elatostema are largely out of date and contradict each other with respect to the delimitation of Elatostema and Pellionia. Most herbaria in SE Asia and worldwide contain significant amounts of unidentified material. As part of a broader revision of Elatostema in SE Asia, we present an updated checklist for Vietnam based on field visits, a review of specimens in herbaria worldwide, a review of type material and nomenclature. We recognize 77 taxa (75 species and two infraspecific taxa) of Elatostema in Vietnam, 23 of which were previously ascribed to Pellionia. Nineteen of these are new records for the country, i.e., E. attenuatoides, E. austrosinense, E. backeri, E. brunneinerve, E. crassiusculum, E. crenatum, E. fengshanense, E. glochidioides, E. malacotrichum, E. nanchuanense, E. oblongifolium, E. obtusum, E. oppositum, E. pergameneum, E. prunifolium, E. pseudolongipes, E. pycnodontum, E. salvinioides and E. xichouense. We place E. baviensis in synonymy of E. platyphyllum, E. colaniae in synonymy of E. myrtillus, P. macroceras in synonymy of E. hookerianum, and P. tetramera in synonymy of E. dissectum for the first time. Fourteen taxa (18% of all the recognized taxa) are endemic to Vietnam, which makes Elatostema one of the richest genera for endemic species in this country; this level of endemism is comparable to levels observed in Orchidaceae. Our checklist suggests that the highest diversity and endemism of Elatostema occurs in northern Vietnam, and that there is the greatest floristic similarity of northern Vietnam to SW China. The relationship among floristic regions is also investigated. We could find no records of Elatostema for 33 out of 63 provincial units of Vietnam, including all the southernmost provinces. We propose that further studies on the diversity of Elatostema in central and southern Vietnam are severely needed.
A Vitalidade Artesanal da Gestão Contemporânea

Published: January 2019

<p class="Grillemoyenne21"><span>Metáfora do fazer humano bem feito e com forte engajamento corporal-moral-afetivo, o fazer artesanal presta-se a muitas interpretações e usos. É, ao mesmo tempo, um conceito e uma prática; um conceito multiforme que compreende práticas fundamentalmente humanas. O fazer artesanal revela-se em toda a sua força pela marca profundamente humana que imprime em objetos, atividades e processos. Acreditamos que, por meio de um retorno aos princípios do trabalho artesanal, a gestão poderá repensar seus fundamentos, sobretudo os que foram herdados de uma lógica industrial e que destoam das expectativas contemporâneas para melhorar o futuro de nossas organizações e sociedades. Nesta introdução, selecionamos, caracterizamos e discutimos três desses princípios: o princípio da cultura, o princípio da materialidade e o princípio da territorialidade. </span></p>
Habitar no Tempo: Interações Estéticas na Produção de Arte
Authors: Sylos Henrique André Magalhães de 
Published: January 2019

<p>O filme “Habitar no Tempo” é o resultado de uma atividade de formação interdisciplinar com crianças e jovens, sensibilizando-os para ver, ouvir, fazer e conviver através do contato com conteúdos de qualidade e expansão do repertório para a produção cultural. André Magalhães, músico e produtor cultural paulistano, foi residir na pequena cidade de Nova Olinda (CE) para realizar esta experiência artística junto aos meninos da Fundação Casa Grande - Memorial do Homem Kariri. Essa é uma organização não governamental comprometida com a formação de jovens e crianças nas áreas de arte e comunicação, memória, turismo, esporte e meio ambiente. Este projeto foi realizado de forma inclusiva e assistiu todas as idades e grupos. Envolveu iniciantes e artistas veteranos para produzir atividades e reflexões acerca da produção deste filme. Isso proporcionou o aprofundamento sobre a criação, a arte, a poesia, através de várias lições vivenciadas pelos meninos e meninas, integrando atividades de criação coletiva e mostrando ao jovem suas oportunidades de formação como artista e gestor cultural. As experiências com diferentes artes foram muito importantes e bem aceitas por eles. Essas ações adicionaram conteúdo a uma produção já existente de um acervo grandioso do patrimônio cultural local, composto por documentos videográficos, fotográficos e fonográficos encontrados nos registros de entrevistas, imagens, fotos e digitalizados, para o aprofundamento da história do lugar e das pessoas que ali habitam, como, também, para tratamento fundamental desse acervo tão precioso. Esse caminho de produção artística levou a todos para um lugar encantador que é de convivência e crescimento pessoal através de um modo afetivo de produzir cultura.</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VITArFJ9Tes#action=share</p>
