▼ Background and Purpose: In the United States, approximately 5.8 million individuals have heart failure (HF) with newly diagnosed cases annually. Patients diagnosed with symptomatic HF continue to have mortality and readmission rates approximating 5% - 30%, respectively. Palliative care is one transitional care process which may reduce readmission rates from one third to one half. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) project was to evaluate the impact of palliative care (PC) consults on 30-day readmission rates for patients with the primary diagnosis of HF. Methods: A retrospective chart review of HF patients treated at an academic medical center between July 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015 was performed. Data extracted from the medical records included documentation of a PC consult and presence of a 30-day readmission after index HF admission. Demographic and descriptive variables included: sex, age, race, insurance type, and severity of illness. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were conducted to identify the differences in 30-day readmissions by PC consults. Results: A total of 1,032 patient records were retrieved and 222 excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria; the remaining 810 records were used for analysis. The sample was primarily men (59.8%, n = 484), Blacks (46.4%, n = 376), and between the ages of 50 – 64 (44.9%, n = 364). The 30-day readmission rate for the total sample was 16.7%. There was a difference between 30-day readmission rates for those who did not receive a PC consult (15.9%) and those patients who did receive a PC consult (25%). Out of 135 reported 30-day readmissions for HF, 87.4% did not receive a PC consult and 12.6% did receive a PC consult. The results were not statistically significant (p = 0.54). Clinical Implications and Recommendations: Readmission rates were lower in those who received a PC consult however, this was not statistically significant. Further evaluation of PC consults and interventions in patients with HF is warranted.

▼ Background and Purpose. Early detection of breast cancer has saved countless lives annually. Nationally, women of color experience higher rates of invasive breast cancer and mortality. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of breast cancer screening among women of color (African American, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander) in order to promote preventive and supportive measures. Puget Sound Affiliates of Susan G. Komen explored breast cancer and breast cancer screening habits among 16 counties in Washington State through focus groups and semi-structured interviews in a community needs assessment in 2011. Findings from the community needs assessment identified counties with disproportionately high occurrence of newly invasive breast cancer diagnosis or invasive breast cancer, and worse outcomes among women of color. Methods. Using qualitative data provided by Puget Sound Affiliates of Susan G. Komen, this study explored the perceptions of 68 women of color ranging in age from 25 to 74. The data was analyzed using content analysis in Microsoft Excel and Nvivo 10. Evaluation. Finding contributed to a greater understanding of the perceptions of breast cancer among women of color to improve breast health outcomes within the community. Clinical Implication and Recommendation. The analysis of the qualitative data provided an informative guide to improve breast health care and implement new measures within communities among women of color through education and outreach.

▼ Background: Sepsis is a life threatening syndrome that occurs rapidly when the body's response to blood infection injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis is the most costly disease in the U.S. and the number one killer of patients admitted to acute care hospitals. On October 1, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will start chart abstraction initiatives for Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock for the FY 2017 Payment Determination. In reviewing 2013 and 2014 data from the Community Hospital System (CHS), the majority of patients diagnosed with sepsis were not screened for sepsis in either the ED or the in-patient units, meaning that CHS as a whole has $20,000,000 at stake. for the CMS Value Based-Purchasing payment program. The main goal of this paper is to attempt to improve sepsis outcomes by closing the gap between compliance to the published sepsis treatment guidelines and daily clinical practice through the implementation of a Sepsis Screening tool. Methods: The planned course of work for this project is to use an existing data set that will be requested from the Executive Sponsor for all the Community Hospital System's Quality Collaborative (Sr. VP and CNO) of the system. This data will include the number of sepsis cases and the risk-adjusted mortality index in 2014, as well as current year to date data. Evaluation: Pre and post participation outcomes are to be compared using the T-test analysis. The outcome measures are the number of sepsis patients identified and the number of sepsis deaths within the 19 community hospitals participating in the Quality Collaborative. Significance and Implications: If the hypothesis is correct, the data will not only reveal an opportunity for growth but also lend a better understanding of how to increase sepsis identification and lower sepsis mortality for our community hospitals nationwide.

▼ Background and Problem Statement: Obesity is a serious, costly, and prevalent chronic condition, which affects adults and children all over the world. There is evidence that clinicians fail to screen, diagnose, and treat obesity in accordance with national evidence-based clinical guidelines. The purpose of this DNP project was to explore perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors toward obesity management by providers in primary care. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design using semi-structured face-to-face interviews was used along with thematic content analysis to analyze data for development of themes. A purposive sample of 12 primary care providers (PCPs), from hospital owned suburban practices, was chosen for this study and included six nurse practitioners (NPs) and six physicians age 30-65 who care for patients with obesity. Results: Participants reported a lack of knowledge, communication, and support for managing obesity. Many different provider approaches to managing obesity were observed, which are based on perceptions, beliefs, and anecdotal medicine rather than on scientific evidence. Common barriers to obesity management were identified and three major themes emerged: Provider centered obstacles, organizational obstacles, and provider perception of patient obstacles. Conclusion and Clinical/Application: This study confirms the presence of a trend in the delivery of care in a traditional healthcare system that places emphasis and value on episodic visits for disease management rather than on prevention. Organizational healthcare policies, protocols and guidelines must adapt and change to form a multidisciplinary integrated approach for managing this chronic condition. Future clinically and community focused initiatives must be innovative and are needed to support primary care providers in their delivery of evidence-based, patient-centered care to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare cost.

▼ Patients with heart failure (HF) face the challenge of living with a chronic condition. The transition from the hospital environment to home requires diligent attention to ensure that the patient is ready for discharge. Being ready to go home or "discharge readiness" is vital to the successful transition of HF patients. Discharge readiness is related to the discharge outcomes for the hospital and is an indicator of the need for additional discharge transition support interventions in the home setting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of readiness for discharge in the HF patient and examine if further patient education prevents readmission within thirty days. Readiness for discharge encompasses personal status, coping, knowledge, and expected support prior to the hospital discharge. A descriptive comparative study was conducted with patients divided into two groups, one receiving the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) and additional education on HF and the other group standard nursing care with no intervention. The RHDS captured the patient's perception of discharge readiness. The study was conducted in an urban academic medical center. Patients (N=50) with a diagnosis of HF were recruited. Six patients from both study groups were readmitted to the hospital within the thirty day period post discharge. Over sixty percent of the patients had income levels below $20,000 and had a previous hospital stay within the last six months. Arthritis and respiratory problems were the most frequently reported co-morbid conditions. With the emphasis on reducing HF readmissions, it is imperative that nurses are cognizant of the patient's discharge readiness prior to discharge. Nurses need to examine approaches in preparing the patient for a successful transition to the home environment that takes into consideration recent hospitalizations, income levels and co-morbid conditions.

▼ The current state of healthcare with its multifaceted demands related to patient care outcomes and the challenges of managing personnel creates a complex work environment for the nurse leader. Striving to meet the competing needs of the organization, employees, patients and families on a daily basis can result in work related traumatic stress and cause burnout. This places an individual at risk for compassion fatigue (CF). The concept of CF has primarily been studied among direct patient care providers and has not been explored among individuals at the leadership level. The goal of this DNP project was to determine if nurses in leadership positions are at risk for or are experiencing CF. For this study, CF was defined as a state in which a nurse leader experiences an inability to maintain a desired level of compassionate energy, due to frequent and regular exposure to prolonged, emotionally and psychologically challenging managerial circumstances in the workplace (adapted from Andreotta, 2013). A mixed methods approach was utilized to gather demographic data and describe the nurse leader’s level of compassion satisfaction (CS), risk for burnout, and secondary traumatic stress as measured by the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) Version 5. The use of open ended questions allowed for the identification of factors in the workplace that are modifiable and can be used to develop a CF prevention program for nurse leaders. Thirty-three nurse leaders from two academic medical centers responded to the research survey which revealed an average to high level of CS, coupled with low to average level of burnout and WRTS among the nurse leaders as measured by the ProQOL V5. CS mean score was 54.55 (SD = 3.94), burnout mean score was 43.11 (SD = 4.04), and WRTS mean score was 41.73 (SD = 3.81). The qualitative data provided insight on the source of CF in the work environment which included employee, patient, and organizational stressors. Potential solutions for mitigation and prevention identified by the nurse leaders included personal and organizational solutions such as enhancing coping skills, developing resiliency skills and increasing organizational support. This study identified the presence of risk factors for the development of CF fatigue among nurse leaders and elements in the work environment that can be modified to prevent this condition. These finding may be used to create a satisfactory Professional Quality of Life for the nurse leader which impacts their role effectiveness and supports the delivery of quality patient care.

▼ Background: According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart failure remained the leading cause of death in 2010. Fifty percent of those diagnosed with HF will die within five years of diagnosis. Over 39 billion is spent on HF annually, creating a huge personal and healthcare expenditure burden. Purpose: To determine if an inpatient multidisciplinary HF program decreases the Medicare 30-day hospital readmission rate for a hospital in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Methods: This quality improvement project utilized a retrospective design. The impact of a multidisciplinary heart failure program on 30-day readmissions was evaluated by comparing HF readmissions during a 6-month period before and after implementation of the program. Inclusion criteria included using data Results: A total of 696 medical records were reviewed for this quality improvement project.Three hundred twenty-one during the pre-intervention period and 375 during the post intervention period. Twenty-seven were eliminated during the pre-intervention period and 28 during the post intervention period due to exclusion criteria. The readmission rate was 12.6% pre-intervention and 16.7% post-intervention. The difference in readmission rates was not significant. Conclusion and recommendations: The multidisciplinary heart failure program did not decrease the Medicare 30-day hospital readmission rate, but there are many factors that may have impacted the readmissions. Since the hospital system plans to continue the program, it may be beneficial to reevaluate the program next year. The addition of a HF outpatient clinic for access to early follow-up care post hospitalization and access to triage care may also be advantageous.

▼ Background: There is a high prevalence of pain in patients with dementia that is often not properly assessed or recognized which leads to ineffective treatment. Health care professionals across all disciplines are faced with the challenge of assessing pain in older patients with dementia. The research suggests that healthcare providers lack knowledge in pain assessment in dementia, which may lead to ineffective treatment. Purpose: The aim of the project was to implement an educational program to improve knowledge and attitudes about pain and pain assessment in persons with dementia (PWD). Methods: A single group pre and posttest design was used. The plan, do, study, act quality improvement model was used to guide the clinical question in the proposed project. The participants were healthcare providers in a long-term care and sub-acute facility. Participants completed a knowledge questionnaire before and after the educational program. A 90-minute educational program was delivered in a group session that included training on the use of the behavioral pain assessment tool (PAINAD). Descriptive statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data. Evaluation: Chart review was performed 30 days after the educational program to evaluate the use of the PAINAD. Results: The findings showed that knowledge on pain assessment in dementia was low among study participants and there was no significant difference in knowledge on pain assessment from baseline to two weeks after the educational program. Significance and Implications: Pain in patients with dementia is under-assessed and undermanaged and is a serious problem in the nursing home. There is a need to provide educational program to enhance pain assessment knowledge with periodic assessment on the use of standardized assessment tool.

▼ Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are the most prevalent hospital acquired infections worldwide (Malvin & Gillian, 2015). In 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mandated hospitals to report on their infections and ultimately held them financially accountable when they occurred. The purpose of this project was to determine if a team insertion approach to urinary catheterization decreases CAUTI infections as compared to a one-person technique. It is believed that having another person to monitor the aseptic technique process throughout the procedure enhances patient safety and decreases infection when the insertion is stopped should a breech occur. The study site was a 281-bed acute care facility located in coastal New Jersey. An eight month retrospective chart and insertion checklist review was completed to identify if a team insertion approach has less CAUTI infections as compared to a one-person technique. Demographic data was collected from the insertion checklist including age, sex, and month of urinary catheter insertion. Chi square testing was completed to compare CAUTI outcomes between the one-person versus team insertion technique. Multivariate analysis was completed to compare other checklist data points including use of castile soap/soap and water for perineal cleansing, standard kit used, (smallest) catheter size, strict hand hygiene, and was catheterization accomplished with one attempt. Outcomes of this study will be shared with the study site and system CAUTI committee.

▼ Background and Problem Statement: High rates of diabetes complications in the United States impact the hospitalization rates and costs of services to manage this population. The Veterans Administration (VA) Office of Connected Care is field testing a text messaging application called the Annie App which contains a diabetes educational/motivational text messaging protocol to support patient engagement in self-care. The purpose of this project was to determine text message preferences of patients with Type 2 diabetes related to perceived usefulness of content and message structure in order to inform the redesign of the diabetes educational/motivational text message protocol with a goal to positively influence patients’ intention to use this protocol. Methods: Interviews were conducted to identify text message preferences that relate to perceived usefulness of content and message structure. Evaluation included a thematic analysis of data obtained from the interview sessions. Results: Themes included message structure, message framing, perceived usefulness, user attitude, and behavioral intention to use the text messaging protocol. Recommendations: Modification of text message protocol content and structure based on patient preferences and in alignment with current evidence to be reviewed by the VA Office of Connected Care for use at the local medical center. Further research is recommended to evaluate the effects of gain-framing versus loss-framing within health messaging. Further quality improvement efforts are recommended to include determining patient perceptions of the diabetes educational/motivational text messaging protocol after the protocol is in use for a period of time, as well as the measurement of clinical outcomes.

▼ Hospitalized pediatric patients are at risk for falls due to a variety causes. Risk for falls is measured through a variety of assessment tools. A gap in the literature regarding the accuracy of the assessment tools to predict pediatric patients at risk for falls, factors which contribute to falls, appropriate education for nurses and families, and evidence-based interventions to minimize risk. Of significance is in the published literature is lack of consistent definition of a fall, contributing factors associated with fall risk, and lack of sensitivity and specificity of existing falls risk assessment tools. A retrospective chart review of patients who did not sustain a fall during admission to an urban pediatric hospital (N=154) was conducted to compare accuracy of fall risk assessment scores with patients who did fall (N=33) during hospital admission. The chart review of the electronic medical records reflected patients admitted during the time period of April 01, 2015- December 31, 2015. The Graf PIF falls risk assessment tool (GPFS) used to assess risk at the study hospital was compared with the Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale and the Morse Falls Scale. In this study the GPFS was found to be effective in identifying patients who did not fall and patients who did fall. Of the patients who fell the GPFS tool gave 100% of the patients a score of 2 or more; of the patients who did not fall 89% received a score of 1 or less. The chi-square test for significance demonstrated that the 2-sided difference is less than .05 therefore the null hypothesis could be rejected and the difference in proportions of children predicted to fall and not fall are significant. The GPFS is an appropriate tool to assess pediatric risk for falls. Further research should be conducted to develop education for nurses and families to reduce risk for falls in pediatric hospitals.

▼ The relationship between personal narrative and embodied experience is interactional and tightly interlaced (Brandon, 2014). The purpose of this interpretative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of queer women’s sexual orientation identity formation. Purposeful sampling yielded three participants who participated in semi-structured interviews and movement elicitation. Using an inductive approach, the data was analyzed for essential themes. Thematic analysis was conducted by hand using literature-based codes and lean coding. The thematic codes included identification of embodied recall as both an intercorporeal and metaphorical experience. Findings may be useful to support the importance of the dance/movement therapy practitioner’s attention to sexuality as a necessary component of embodied identity.

▼ The purpose of this arts-based heuristic inquiry was to examine the experience of a clinically trained art therapy intern working within an educational setting. The researcher utilized Moustakas’ (1990) six-phase process of heuristic inquiry to better understand her experience working as an art therapy intern within a school. Heuristic research is an inquiry about one’s own experience; therefore, the researcher was also the participant, analyzer of the data, and interpreter of findings within this study. Twenty-six pieces of artwork and 19 journal entries were collected as reflections of daily internship experiences. These were later analyzed to gain deeper understanding of the phenomenon in question. Three artwork themes and 5 written themes emerged from the journal entries. Information gained from the artwork and written journaling included the following: 1) the art therapy intern had feelings of being lonely and distant throughout the internship days, 2) The art therapy intern was constantly challenged to maintaining therapeutic boundaries, 3) it was difficult to find physical therapeutic space, and 4) the art therapy intern worked with children presenting with a wide range of symptoms: depression, anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity, and social difficulty. This thesis answered the question of what was the experience of an art therapy intern working within an educational setting.

▼ Background: Dietary recommendations to athletes are tailored to enhance performance and accelerate recovery. Recommendations focused on these parameters are rarely made in consideration of gut or bone
health. Fermentable fibers may play a role in attenuating exercise-induced inflammation and in enhancing calcium absorption; thus, augmenting bone mineral density (BMD) in endurance athletes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship could be identified between: 1) soluble fiber and anterior-posterior (AP) lumbar spine BMD among a population of endurance athletes, and 2) total fiber intake and AP lumbar spine BMD among a population of endurance athletes. The study also aimed to assess whether calcium intake, sex, and physical activity levels would influence the relationship between soluble fiber intake and AP lumbar spine BMD. Design: This cross-sectional study included 95 athletes who self-defined their primary form of physical activity as an endurance sport. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans were employed to measure AP lumbar spine BMD and body composition. A self-administered 2005 Block Food Frequency Questionnaire was provided to assess average daily consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients. Reported energy intake was used to compute an individualized Adequate Intake (AI) for total fiber for each participant, based on the Food and Nutrition Board's AI recommendation that men and women consume 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 kilocalories of energy. Physical activity habits were measured by Actical(TM) accelerometers, which were worn by a subset of 55 participants for seven days. The accelerometers measured average number of minutes spent in sedentary behavior and light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity states. To determine whether physical activity influenced the relationship between soluble fiber intake and AP lumbar spine BMD, the median time spent in combined moderate and vigorous physical activity was used to divide the population into lower and upper quartile groups, and analyses were conducted in each group and compared. To determine whether sex, meeting fiber AI recommendations, or meeting calcium Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), analyses were conducted in each group and compared. Results: Data were analyzed for 95 athletes (n = 47 male athletes, 48 female athletes; 38.15 ± 10.07 years of age). Twenty-one of the 95 participants met nutrient needs for total fiber (22%), 46 participants met nutrient needs for calcium (48%), and 11 participants met nutrient needs for vitamin D (12%). Fat-free mass, body mass index, and dietary vitamin D intake were significantly correlated with AP spine lumbar BMD (p = 0.008, p = 0.007, p = 0.015, respectively). No significant correlations were found between soluble fiber and AP lumbar spine BMD, or between total fiber intake and AP lumbar spine BMD in the overall sample or among any of the subgroups (p > 0.05). No significant between-group differences in regression slopes were found between men and women, between…

▼ Background: Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie, the tethering of the frenulum under the tongue, can adversely affect breastfeeding by causing a poor latch, maternal nipple pain, and poor milk supply. Not identifying this condition could lead to early breastfeeding cessation. Since nurses at Paoli Hospital are not using evidence-based methods of assessment, they may not be identifying all cases of ankyloglossia. In addition, the best evidence-based method for identifying ankyloglossia has not been established at Paoli Hospital. As popularity in breastfeeding increases, nurses need to know how to assess for ankyloglossia and should be aware of the effects of ankyloglossia on breastfeeding. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to: 1) compare ankyloglossia prevalence rates between the ATLFF (an evidenced based tongue assessment tool) and the prevalence rates using usual
nursing tongue assessment, and 2) determine the best objective evidence-based method of ankyloglossia assessment by nurses among healthy newborns before hospital discharge at Paoli Hospital by comparing the BTAT to the ATLFF. Methods and Results: This descriptive comparative design was conducted from October 1 - 28, 2017 using a convenience sample of 130 newborns admitted to the Family-Centered Maternity Unit at Paoli Hospital. Prevalence was found to be 13.8% using the ATLFF and 3.8% as assessed by the nurses’ usual tongue assessment methods. The sensitivity and specificity of usual
nursing tongue assessment methods relative to the ATLFF was 22% and 99%, respectively. The prevalence of ankyloglossia measured with the BTAT was 18.5% (185 cases per 1000 newborns), compared to the prevalence measured with the ATLFF which was 13.8% (138 cases per 1000 newborns). The sensitivity and specificity of the BTAT relative to the ATLFF was 77.8% and 91.1%, respectively. Among the two raters, Cohen’s kappa for the ATLFF and BTAT was calculated to be 0.36 and 0.42, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the ATLFF function scores was 0.77 (95% CI [0.55; 0.88]). The ICC between the ATLFF appearance scores was 0.78 (95% CI [0.12, 0.92]). The ICC of the BTAT scores was determined to be 0.79 (95% CI [0.56, 0.89]). Cronbach’s alpha for ATLFF function assessment was 0.79 (95% CI [0.73, 0.84]), while Cronbach’s alpha for the ATLFF appearance assessment tool was 0.82 (95% CI [0.76, 0.86]). The overall Cronbach’s alpha of the ATLFF assessment scale was 0.88 (95% CI [0.85, 0.91]). Cronbach’s alpha for the BTAT was 0.75 (95% CI [0.68, 0.82]). Conclusions: This quality improvement project found that usual
nursing subjective assessment did not identify as many cases of ankyloglossia compared to ankyloglossia cases identified using the “gold standard” ATLFF. In addition, the findings suggest that the BTAT is an evidenced-based tongue assessment tool that compares favorably to the ATLFF. Because the BTAT is easier to use, it is recommended nurses use the BTAT for timely ankyloglossia identification to facilitate early referral for frenotomy to achieve…

▼ Orchestral Dialogues: Accepting Self, Accepting Others (Orchestral Dialogues) was a pilot project with BuildaBridge International (BaB), an arts-intervention organization based in Philadelphia, PA. Fourteen children, ages 9 - 14 years, participated during the program's pilot year, 2016-2017. The Orchestral Dialogues project was a community music therapy (CoMT) endeavor that sought to teach both deep listening and transformative dialogue skills through participation in private lessons, rehearsals and dialogue workshops. This study asked the question, how do deep listening skills developed through the orchestral process relate to transformative dialogue skills in children? Ethnographic methods were employed to answer the research question including participant observations, facilitation of a focus group, ongoing informal conversations with participants, their families and staff, and a review of archival data. Data analysis incorporated artistic responses to theme development for the purposes of clarification. The themes identified were 1) adult modeling, 2) role playing, 3) orchestra as analogy for components of dialogue, and 4) community building through collaboration The findings showed that the children, though only in the initial five months of their learning process, understood the basic concepts of deep listening skills (awareness of self, awareness of others, awareness of music) and could translate these to transformative dialogue skills (self-reflexivity, self-expression, responsibility, affirmation, co-creation of a new reality). The findings showed the children described the skills of deep listening and transformative dialogue using musical language and concepts. Although they demonstrated an understanding of the skills, it was evident they required more time to implement the skills in their daily lives. The results of this study contributed to interdisciplinary research in CoMT and conflict transformation literature.

▼ Sepsis is common, costly, and is a leading cause of death worldwide. During the past decade, quality improvement efforts in sepsis management have led to increased survival. Many sepsis survivors experience sequelae that contribute to unplanned hospital readmission associated with poor outcomes. Despite ongoing efforts to improve sepsis patient care, methods for reducing sepsis readmissions is limited. Additionally, public and patient knowledge regarding sepsis is lacking. Improving sepsis patient outcomes requires early diagnosis and treatment. Increasing patient and caregiver knowledge of sepsis and when to seek medical care is essential, particularly for patients at risk for readmission. No current standards exist regarding effective methods or tools to provide sepsis patient/caregiver discharge education. An evaluation of an available sepsis education tool using a validated measure to assess printable patient education material for understandability and actionability was conducted. An electronic survey was completed by nine national sepsis content experts, with a 90% response rate. Mean usability and actionability scores were above 80% with fair to moderate agreement across 24 survey items. Areas for improvement include providing a summary, modification of images and simplifying language. Results from this project may be useful for future sepsis patient education material.

▼ Abstract Follow-up Telephone Call Quality Initiative: Do Follow-up Telephone Calls After Discharge Reduce 30-day Hospital Readmission For Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Recipients? Barbara Worgan, MSN, ANP Background: Outcomes of nursing interventions following discharge for recipients of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are scarce. Purpose: This quality improvement project was a retrospective cohort design to evaluate the effectiveness of a follow-up telephone call on reducing 30-day hospital readmission for patients recovering from the TAVR procedure. Methods and Results: A convenience sample of 50 patients was used, 25 who received the follow up phone calls and 25 who did not. Twenty-five patients were selected from those TAVR patients who did received a follow-up telephone call between January 20 – May 20, 2017 and 25 TAVR patients from those who were not exposed to the intervention between January 20 – May 20, 2016. The cohorts were matched based on sex and NYHA CHF classification at time of the hospital admission. Both hospital length of stay and postoperative length of stay were shorter in the intervention group than the control group. Patients who received the follow-up telephone call post discharge spent on average 2.20 days less in the hospital than those who did not receive the follow up telephone call, 3.92 ± 1.9 days vs 6.12 ± 3.95 days respectively, t = 2.53 (34), p = 0.01. Patients who received the follow-up telephone call post-discharge spent on average 1.28 days less in the hospital after their procedure than those who did not receive the follow-up telephone call, 2.84 ± 1.7 days vs 4.12 ± 2.57 days respectively, t = 2.07 (48), p = 0.01. However, there was no significant difference in readmissions within 30 days of discharge in those received the follow-up phone call post-discharge (n=4, 8%) and those who did not receive the follow-up phone call post-discharge (n=4, 8%). Conclusions: The quality improvement follow-up telephone call initiative did not reduce the rate of hospital readmission. Although, this program did not evaluate patient reported outcomes, future projects should not only consider hospital readmissions but other quality measures as well.

▼ The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of Black clients’ experiences within a music therapy context by exploring the discursive construction of aesthetics demonstrated by Black members of a vocal music therapy (VMT) group for chronic pain. For this purpose, the theoretical framework of critical race theories and Africana womanism guided this study, and a critical multimodal discourse analysis was employed as the primary methodological tool. Three primary research questions guided this study: What were the aesthetic experiences of the Black members of the VMT chronic pain group? What was the role of black lifeworlds (musical representations and cultural representations) in Black clients’ aesthetics experiences? What was the function of Black client aesthetics in the VMT group experience? Secondary data of another research study, namely video data obtained in a clinical trial on the effect of vocal music therapy (VMT) on core outcomes in chronic pain management, served as the primary data source for this analysis. The video data documented an eight-week group VMT treatment program, in which six Black individuals with chronic pain, five females and one male, and one white female participated in vocal music therapy techniques such as toning, group singing, vocal improvisation often accompanied with percussion instruments, song reflection, and deep breathing to address core outcomes of chronic pain. These sessions were facilitated by the white music therapist and principal investigator of the clinical trial and assisted by me, her Black research assistant. This analysis evidenced Black clients’ agency-driven aesthetic exploration of Black language and Black musical representations within a music therapy context. In so doing, the VMT group context is revealed as a racially patterned social activity marked by performances of alterity mobilized through Black participants’ aestheticization of personhood. The analysis detailed the social realities co-constructed by the Black participants vis-à-vis non-monolithic experiences of Black language and Black vernacular music as processed through cultural memory and the inherently subordinate nature of therapy. This was demonstrated in four aesthetic formations: (a) (pre)embodied pain aesthetics, evidenced by participants' portrayals of agency within the intersection of socio-historical, socio-structural, and socio-cultural systems of chronic pain and healthcare disparity discourse; (b) Black language aesthetics, revealed in mono- and cross-racial verbal and prosodic communication; (c) healing aesthetics, delineated by participants' spiritual negotiations within a model of medical music therapy; and (d) musicking aesthetics, detailed by the use and situated meaning of Black musical gestures referentially used within music therapy theory and praxis. These findings detailed Black verbal and musical iconicity, client face-saving practices, individual and collective responses to microaggressions and their impact on the therapeutic process exhibited verbally and…

▼ Diet and physical activity are two modifiable factors that can curtail the development of osteoporosis in the aging population. One purpose of this study was to assess the differences in dietary intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in a Masters athlete population (n=87, n=49 female; 41.06 ± 5.00 years of age) and examine sex- and sport-related differences in dietary and total calcium and vitamin K intake and BMD of the total body, lumbar spine, and dual femoral neck (TBBMD, LSBMD and DFBMD, respectively). Total calcium is defined as calcium intake from diet and supplements. Athletes were categorized as participating in an endurance or interval sport. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Data on dietary intake was collected from Block 2005 Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs). Dietary calcium, total calcium, or vitamin K intake did not differ between the female endurance and interval athletes. All three BMD sites were significantly different among the female endurance and interval athletes, with female interval athletes having higher BMD at each site (TBBMD: 1.26 ± 0.10 g/cm2, p<0.05; LSBMD: 1.37 ± 0.14 g/cm2, p<0.01; DFBMD: 1.11 ± 0.12 g/cm2, p<0.05, for female interval athletes; TBBMD: 1.19 ± 0.09 g/cm2; LSBMD: 1.23 ± 0.16 g/cm2; DFBMD: 1.04 ± 0.10 g/cm2, for female endurance athletes). Male interval athletes had higher BMD at all three sites (TBBMD 1.44 ± 0.11 g/cm2, p<0.05; LSBMD 1.42 ± 0.15 g/cm2, p=0.179; DFBMD 1.26 ± 0.14 g/cm2, p<0.01, for male interval athletes; TBBMD 1.33 ± 0.11 g/cm2; LSBMD 1.33 ± 0.17 g/cm2; DFBMD 1.10 ± 0.12 g/cm2 for male endurance athletes). Dietary calcium, total daily calcium and vitamin K intake did not differ between the male endurance and interval athletes. This study evaluated the relationship between calcium intake and BMD. No relationship between dietary or total calcium intake and BMD was evident in all female athletes, female endurance athletes or female interval athletes. In all male athletes, there was no significant correlation between dietary or total calcium intake and BMD at any of the measured sites. However, the male interval athlete group had a negative relationship between dietary calcium intake and TBBMD (r=-0.738, p<0.05) and LSBMD (r=-0.738, p<0.05). The negative relationship persisted between total calcium intake and LSBMD (r=-0.714, p<0.05), but not TBBMD, when calcium from supplements was included. The third purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between vitamin K intake (as phylloquinone) and BMD. In all female athletes, there was no significant correlation between vitamin K intake and BMD at any of the measured sites. No relationship between vitamin K and BMD was evident in female interval or female endurance athletes. Similarly, there was no relationship between vitamin K intake and BMD in the male endurance and interval groups. The final purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the Calcium-to-Vitamin K (Ca:K) ratio and BMD. A linear regression model established that the ratio predicted TBBMD in…

▼ The person-of-the-therapist training (POTT) model, developed by renowned family therapist Harry Aponte, and implemented in the Drexel University Master of Family Therapy curriculum, was the training model of focus for the study. Postgraduates of the Drexel University Master of Family Therapy Program were interviewed using grounded theory methods on the perceived impact of person-of-the-therapist training on clinical effectiveness. The generated theory revealed that postgraduates developed a purposeful therapeutic presence; participants believed that their presence, way of being, and the way that they provided therapy, way of doing, had transformed. The stance they had was self-accepting, self-aware, compassionate, empathic, and grounded. Therefore, the therapy they provided was decisive, thoughtful, compassionate, self-aware, and connected-to-self. Although attention to the person or self-of-the-therapist was present in the couple and family therapy literature, research on the effectiveness of person-of-the-therapist training is virtually nonexistent. Thus, the present study addressed this gap in the literature; particularly because the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, the field’s primary professional organization, includes person-of-the-therapist elements in established competency standards. Moreover, the marriage and family therapy profession is growing, highlighting the importance of effective training to ensure competent clinical services.

▼ Falls are serious and life threatening for community-living older adults (CLOAs). Every 20 minutes an older adult in the United States dies owing to a fall. Falls can also reduce older adults' independence. Balance assessment is critical to detect fall risk and provide early prevention strategies. To systematically assess balance ability, optimal clinical balance measures include tests of at least 5 balance domains; specifically, quiet stance, anticipatory postural adjustments to perturbations caused by self-initiated movements, response to external perturbations, sensory orientation, and stability in gait. However, current clinical balance tests frequently have limitations including lack of comprehensive testing of balance domains or capacity to guide interventions, ceiling effects, high test burden, and fixed-test formats. The purposes of this study were to: 1) construct a new Performance-based Balance Scale (PBS) for use with community-living older adults; 2) determine the practicality, clarity of instructions, and time to administer; 3) identify and validate the non-fixed test format; and 4) determine the psychometric properties of the PBS. We developed a 26-item, dichotomously-scored initial draft of the PBS using an expert panel by adapting test items from existing balance measures and organizing these items by difficulty into the 5 balance domains. We pilot tested the initial draft of the PBS for practicality, clarity of instructions, and administration time with 17 participants (4 men, 13 women; mean age = 81.8 yrs, 54 - 94 yrs). After revision, we created and tested a preliminary PBS with 35 participants (10 men, 25 women; mean age = 75.9, 60 - 91 yrs). Then using the Rasch dichotomous model, we created the non-fixed-item format. We re-tested 32 participants (9 men, 23 women; mean age = 75.5, 60 - 91 yrs) of the same participants 4-8 weeks later using the non-fixed-item PBS to validate the format using Spearman's correlation coefficient (rs = .94) and a paired t-test that showed no difference between the 2 scores, t (31) = -.32 (95% CI: -.70 - .51), p = .75. Further, we eliminated redundant test items and reduced the final PBS to 20 items. To determine the psychometric properties we tested 24 CLOAs (1 man, 23 women; mean age = 71.2 yrs, 62-86 yrs) twice, 7 to 14 days apart. Results showed that the typical time to administer the PBS was 15 to 20 minutes. Test-retest reliability was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC(2,1) = .95) and method error (CVME = 9.3%). Internal consistency, validity, minimal detectable change (MDC), cutoff score, sensitivity, specificity, likelihoods ratios and overall diagnostic accuracy were calculated. The PBS showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's [alpha] = .94) and good to excellent convergent validity (r = .81) with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The SEM for the PBS = 1.2, MDC90% = 2.8, and MDC95% = 3.3. The cutoff score to identify fallers was 14/20, with sensitivity of .78 and specificity of .47. Overall diagnostic accuracy was…

▼ Music therapy clinical decision-making for individual parent-dyads has been guided by clinical reflections and program descriptions. Some research in clinical decision-making has been conducted, albeit not focused on the early childhood population. A growing number of board-certified music therapists offer a quasi-manualized program, Music Together Within Therapy, as an intervention option for their early childhood music therapy work. This study asks the question: What are the clinical decision-making processes music therapists undergo when working with parent-child dyads in a single individual music therapy session? Music therapists engage in a series of decision-making processes throughout the course of therapy. This study concerns only those processes that lead to clinical decisions that occur during the course of one session. To address the possible influences of education, training, and theoretical orientation on clinical decision-making for MTWT providers, one sub-question is: What role, if any, does the Music Together training and philosophy have in the music therapist’s process of decision-making that occurs during the course of one session? To address the clinician’s attention to parent training (an integral component of supporting child development) within their clinical decision-making process, the second sub-question is: How do music therapists who use MTWT incorporate parent training into their clinical decision-making process when they work with parent-child dyads? Music therapists who work with individual parent-child dyads using Music Together Within Therapy (MTWT) make clinical decisions based upon a set of driving forces: experiencing beauty, creating a musical container, providing opportunities for growth, and providing opportunities for relating. These driving forces and accompanying 14 belief statements regarding decision-making and the impact of the Music Together philosophy on music therapists’ clinical work were uncovered using an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design. Constructivist grounded theory method of the QUAL analysis of interview data (N = 3) framed the qualitative analysis; descriptive statistics evaluated the level of agreement among a larger body of music therapists who provide MTWT (N = 22). Respondents to the survey endorsed statements related to the MTWT program’s ability to support clinical decision-making: sufficient material for creating interventions, supporting dyad and individual, matching therapist’s clinical decision-making, facilitating collaboration between adults, and promoting dyad relation. A comparison of a larger body of MTWT providers situates the responses to the survey and provides context for the demographic assumptions. Based on the findings, a clinical decision-making framework is offered as a way to conceptualize music therapists’ decision-making processes when using the MTWT program. Music therapists’ approaches to songs and use of musical constructions in the service of supporting relationship development feature prominently in their…

▼ Although there are no published, high-quality, randomized, controlled studies on the subject of moral distress, available literature supports that this nursing phenomenon is frequently experienced, undermines employee engagement, weakens working relationships within the health care team, damages the nurse-patient relationship, and likely contributes to clinical nurse turnover. The overarching objective of this project was to evaluate the quality of an evidence-based, pilot educational program. The appeal and meaningfulness of this program will be assessed by a participant post program evaluation, as well as if the participants are able to define moral distress and its common symptoms, learn healthier coping strategies, and determine if participants can identify opportunities for reducing the frequency of morally distressing events in their work environments. A convenience sample of 23 clinical oncology nurses was recruited from The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s oncology units. A knowledge test of moral distress was administered pre and post program, and the approximately one-hour program was delivered using lecture, presentation technologies, and an interactive discussion. No significant difference was observed in participants’ moral distress knowledge pre to post in-service. However, significant statistical differences were found in participants’ knowledge of personal strategies to offset nursing moral distress, as well as in participants’ identifying of institutional supports for this phenomenon. Clinical implications for nursing include that education may provide opportunities for nurses to employ personal strategies and engage institutional support, thereby proactively reducing the frequency as well as the intensity of morally distressing events.

▼ Young adulthood is a time of transition in which individuals gain independence from caregivers, form intimate relationships, strengthen bonds with peers, and seek to further educational and career goals. Individuals who receive a cancer diagnosis in young adulthood face unique challenges related to attaining these goals. Recent research suggests that young adult cancer survivors perceive their lives as being biographically disrupted by cancer. The objective of the present study was to describe the subjective, embodied experiences of biographical disruption, including diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, of cancer in young adults. Three participants who identified as survivors of cancer in young adulthood engaged in a movement elicitation process followed by verbal interviews. Phenomenological research methods were used to discover themes related to their embodied experiences of biographical disruption. Nine themes were identified through data analysis. The first seven themes are organized around participants' sense of dynamic embodiment throughout specific phases of the cancer experience: Embodying the Routine Path before Cancer, Unpredictability and Disbelief in the Body in Diagnosis, Dynamic Shifts in Embodied Coping and Perceptions of the Body during Treatment, Processing the Cancer Experience after Treatment Delays Forward Movement, Re-Embodiment Leads to Negotiating Pre- and Post-Cancer Identity in Early Survivorship, Understanding and Adapting to the New Normal Body in the Present, and Embodied Self- Care in Survivorship. The final two themes were identified as being central to the global experience of cancer in young adulthood: Biographical Disruption in Young Adulthood Represents Lost or Distorted Time and Embodied Biographical Disruption Manifests as Social Disruption. Results from this study are discussed in relation to their implications for future research and dance/movement therapy practice.

▼ The predominant medical model prioritizes physical conditions and often overlooks cultural identities and psychological needs of patients, which are necessary considerations for implementation of holistic treatment. Several studies have demonstrated the benefit of cultural humility in healthcare, but no research was conducted within medical art therapy. This study aimed to address the gap in the literature by exploring cultural humility practices in medical art therapy. Medical art therapists were recruited to participate in this study through convenience and snowball sampling methods. Using exploratory multiple-case study methodology, four participants completed a semi-structured interview, which included visual elicitation and verbal interview components. Results were analyzed through cross-case analysis. Assertions found across cases reflected participants’ practices of cultural humility within their work as medical art therapists. These included: awareness of self in relation to others, collaborative relationship with patients, and consideration of art therapy within larger systems. Implications of these results include suggestions for better integration of components of cultural humility into clinical practice, greater inclusion of multiculturalism into art therapy education, and increased involvement of medical art therapists in advocacy.

▼ African American women currently make up approximately 13% of the female population in the United States (U.S.) (Guerra, 2013), yet 40% of African American women will report they have been coerced into some form of sexual contact before the age of 18 (Women of Color Network, 2006). African American women are also more likely to experience some of the severest forms of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). An experience of CSA can put a significant strain on the ways in which a survivor experiences physical and sexual intimacy with a romantic partner in adulthood. It is necessary to examine how CSA affects physical and sexual intimacy among African American females considering they are most: (a) likely to endure CSA, (b) susceptible to negative effects of CSA, and (c) a relationally injured by historical sexual trauma in the U.S. The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of sexual and physical intimacy in opposite-sex, romantic relationships among African American females who have endured CSA. There were three main themes that emerged from this study: a) CSA does have a negative impact on intimate interactions and behaviors in early adulthood, b) positive experiences of intimacy are possible in the context of a stable and loving relationship after CSA, and c) partner’s awareness of the abuse does positively influence how intimacy is received and reciprocate.

▼ Background: Research studies show smokers are more likely to suffer from complications after surgery. These preventable events cost the nation approximately $17 billion a year and impact both the health of the community and the finances of healthcare systems. Purpose: To determine the effect of a nurse-led smoking cessation intervention in the preoperative setting on reducing both postoperative complications and healthcare costs due to smoking. Method: This was a prospective cohort study to include smokers undergoing a surgical procedure. The participants received a brief smoking cessation education intervention in a preoperative clinic given by a nurse, describing the benefits of smoking cessation and the risks smoking presents for surgical recovery. Evaluation: All data was cleaned and coded. Patients lost to follow up or with missing data elements were not included. The intervention cohort postoperative complication data results were compared to postoperative complication rates in a historical cohort before implementation of the smoking cessation intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the baseline characteristics of the cohorts. The chi-square test was calculated to analyze the association between the categorical data. Results: The sample size of 100 participants meeting the inclusion criteria was reached. 22% of participants quit smoking and 47% reduced the number of cigarettes they smoked preoperatively. Chi-square results comparing postoperative complication rates between the interventional and historical cohorts was not statistically significant with a p-value of 0.08 and resulted in a null hypothesis. The comparison between combined quit/reduced smoking participants with those continuing to smoke within the interventional group was statistically significant for reduced postoperative complications with a p-value<0.05. Conclusion: The results concluded a smoking cessation intervention before surgery reduced postoperative complications and healthcare costs for this hospital in the intervention group. Preoperative patient education should reinforce smoking cessation to optimize postoperative outcomes.

▼ Background: Each year in the US, approximately 1,200,000 pregnant women are hospitalized on bed rest with the intent to improve pregnancy outcomes. However, postpartum bed rest is not benign and may contribute to physical debilitation, postpartum depression (PPD), impaired maternal role attainment (MRA), and altered maternal-infant attachment. There are gaps in the literature about the effects of resilience, optimism, and PPD on MRA and the effects of resilience and optimism on PPD at six to 12 months postpartum. Although the effects of resilience and optimism have been studied in general adult populations, few studies have considered resilience and optimism as protectors that support MRA and reduce the risk of PPD. Methods: The theoretical framework was Maternal Role Attainment (Rubin). The purpose of this cross-sectional comparative survey design study was to examine differences in resilience, optimism, PPD, and MRA, the effects of resilience, optimism, and PPD on MRA at six to 12 months postpartum and the effects of resilience and optimism on PPD for mothers with (high-risk) and without hospitalization (low-risk) due to pregnancy complications. The hypotheses were: 1) Low-risk women will have higher resilience scores than high-risk women; 2) Low-risk women will have higher optimism scores than high-risk women; 3) Low-risk women will have lower PPD scores than high-risk women; 4) Low-risk women will have higher MRA scores than high-risk women; 5) Higher levels of resilience will predict lower scores on the MRA scale, controlling for risk status; 6) Higher levels of optimism will predict lower scores on the MRA scale, controlling for risk status; 7) Higher levels of depression will predict higher scores on the MRA scale, controlling for risk status; 8) Higher levels of resilience will predict lower scores on the PPD scale, controlling for risk status; 9) Higher levels of optimism will predict lower scores on the PPD scale, controlling for risk status. A convenience sample of 10 high-risk mothers hospitalized for at least five days during pregnancy and 24 low-risk mothers at six to 12 months postpartum participated in the study. Data collection was accomplished through self-report questionnaires: Being a Mother Scale (MRA); Life Orientation Test-Revised (optimism); Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (resilience); Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (PPD); and a Demographic Questionnaire (participant demographics). The investigator and the participants met in person or by phone to complete the questionnaires. Data analysis was comprised of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including Student's t tests and multiple linear regression models to test the hypotheses. Bivariate correlations were run on all continuous variables and crosstabs on categorical variables to check for significant relationships and differences between the groups. Written perceptions of difficult feelings about being a mother were reported by description and themes. Results: This study found no statistical differences between the…

▼ Combining the most popular social networking sites (SNS), Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, and Pinterest, the number of social networking users has exceeded two billion (Jain, 2012). The average American spends a minimum of thirty-seven minutes per day on SNS which surpasses any other internet activity, including email (Adler, 2014). The high number of users and the amount of time people spend social networking has given rise to an increased interest of research on social medical and mental health. For example, several studies have shown that extended social media use increases depression (Veretilo & Billick, 2012), symptoms of bipolar mania, narcissism, and histrionic personality disorder in adults 18-35 (Rosen, Whaling, Carrier & Cheever, 2012) and decreases self-esteem among adolescents (Shapiro & Margolin, 2014). Surprisingly, few research studies have focused on what role social media has in psychotherapy in general and more specifically, in family therapy. This study explored potential impact of social media, concentrating on the unique challenges in work with couples and families. This study used Media Ecology theory as a guide which focuses on the impact of technology on humans (McLuhan, 1994) Media Ecology theory informed an understanding of how social media is intersecting with the therapeutic process. The Couple and Family Therapist Social Media Questionnaire was a survey developed specifically for this study. Using email and social media outlets, the survey was distributed and completed nationally by 232 therapists. The survey explored four primary domains 1) therapists personal and professional use of social media 2) comfort with technology, 3) risk taking and social media use, and 4) implications for possible ethical violations with social media use in therapy. Results indicate 1) therapists who are more comfort with technology are recommending clients use social media to build social supports, 2) therapists having a more sensation seeking personality is independent of their likelihood to integrate social media into clinical practice, and 3) therapists are engaging in potentially risky behaviors via social media. More specifically, younger therapists are posting about clients on their personal social media pages.
