Filter by:The purpose of this study is to enhance engagement, coping and self-reflection by attuning nurses to creative and observational skills drawn from a visual arts pedagogical framework. To fulfill this goal, the investigators will cultivate an existing relationship between NYU Langone Health (NYULH) Nursing, the NYU Health Sciences Library, and museum educators at The Met to design and deliver an intervention of museum educator-led workshops that introduce nurses to arts appreciation skills to improve their practice and overall wellbeing. Participants will be asked to complete two surveys, pre- and post-intervention, Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS), which measures cultural awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), which measures four separate aspects of empathy and its relationships with measures of social functioning, self-esteem, emotionality, and sensitivity to others. We will also solicit qualitative feedback via REDCap survey at the end of the intervention to gain insight into nurse's experiences of the art immersion program.
The goal of this research is to create a training film for hearing healthcare providers to teach them how to competently and sensitively interact with Deaf patients. In Year 1, focus groups will be facilitated to elicit feedback that will inform video production of the training film. In Year 2, film production will take place, as well as an RCT to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the new training intervetion.
Clinical placements are an integral part of nursing education and have significant impact on nursing students' professional development. According to standards set by the European Union, the duration of clinical placements should account for at least one half of the minimum duration of nursing programs. Also, students must complete training under the supervision of qualified nursing staff (Directive 2013/55/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council). Nursing staff are responsible for the mentoring of students during completion of their clinical placements. The role of the mentor can be challenging and several studies prove that providing continuing education to mentors can be effective in developing mentors' competence in mentoring. There is an urgent need to add issues related to the development of mentors' cultural competence into mentoring education. This is due to the rapid increase of cultural and linguistic diversity within the nursing workforce and the increase in the numbers of students from international backgrounds. This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention to develop mentors' cultural competence and their competence in mentoring nursing students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
The primary goal of this PCORI proposal is to evaluate the impact of enhanced provider and clinical staff training to address the health disparities of SGM CHC patients to ultimately improve their health outcomes because CHCs are a key part of the U.S. health care delivery system for underserved populations. The current application proposes to test an intervention designed to understand how CHCs, including front line staff and safety net clinical providers, can identify and provide optimal care for their SGM patients, and will determine whether enhanced training of CHC staff in best practices for the provision of primary care for SGM patients will improve their clinical outcomes. The time is right for routinization of SOGI measures in EHRs and evaluation of the optimal methods to train primary care providers in the best practices for the care of SGM patients.
