Findings and Recommendations From the State of the Art (Sota) Conference on Nursing Research to Improve Veteran Outcomes
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest employer of nurses in the United States, has more than 120,000 nursing personnel providing care to over 9 million Veterans across diverse settings. Despite nursing’s central role in delivering and sustaining care, research on strengthening the nursing workforce and optimizing nursing practice has remained underdeveloped in VHA. To address this gap, VHA’s Office of Research and Development, in …
A Landscape of Evidence on RN Transition to Practice Programs
BACKGROUND: First-year registered nurses (RNs) have the highest turnover rate of all hospital-based RNs, and often face various challenges during their transition to practice. RN transition-to-practice programs (RNTTPs) can potentially alleviate critical RN staffing shortages and support the development of the nursing workforce's future. OBJECTIVES: To (1) capture and critically appraise the landscape of existing synthesis efforts on RNTTPs and (…
Reaching Consensus on Long Covid Symptoms and Patient-Reported Outcomes Across the Veterans Health Administration Using a Modified Hybrid Nominal Group-Delphi Approach
BACKGROUND: A consistent approach to track Long COVID symptoms at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) was lacking. OBJECTIVES: To reach consensus among clinical stakeholders on how long COVID symptoms should be assessed at VHA outpatient visits and recommend an assessment battery. RESEARCH DESIGN: Hybrid Delphi-Nominal Group approach. SUBJECTS: Members of the VHA Long COVID Field Advisory Board (FAB) and the VHA Long COVID Community of Pract…
Effect of Discharge Readiness on 30-Day Readmissions Among Older Adults Living With Multiple Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND: Despite decreases in readmissions among Medicare beneficiaries after the implementation of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, older adults living with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) continue to experience higher readmission rates. Few strategies leverage nursing to identify patients at risk for readmission. OBJECTIVES: Examine the effect of nurse assessments of discharge readiness on 30-day readmissions. RESEARCH DESIGN:…
The Impact of Primary Care Practice Structural Capabilities on Nurse Practitioner Burnout, Job Satisfaction, and Intent to Leave
BACKGROUND: Lack of structure for care delivery (ie, structural capabilities) has been linked to lower quality of care and negative patient outcomes. However, little research examines the relationship between practice structural capabilities and nurse practitioner (NP) job outcomes. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between structural capabilities and primary care NP job outcomes (ie, burnout, job dissatisfaction, and intent to leave). …
The Impact of Ambulatory Dementia Care Models on Hospitalization of Persons Living With Dementia
This systematic review presents an overview of the existing dementia care models in various ambulatory care settings under three categories (i.e., home- and community-based care models, partnership between health systems and community-based resources, and consultation models) and their impact on hospitalization among Persons Living with Dementia (PLWD). PRISMA guidelines were applied, and our search resulted in a total of 13 studies focusing on 1…
Three-Year Nursing PhD Model Recommendations from the RWJF Future of Nursing Scholars
The recommendations provided add to a growing body of knowledge that will create a foundation for understanding what factors constitute "success" for both PhD programs and students. [ J Nurs Educ . 2022;61(1):19-28.]
The Critical Need for a Meaning-Centered Team-Level Intervention to Address Healthcare Provider Distress Now
COVID-19 has unveiled and amplified the burnout, grief, and other forms of distress among healthcare providers (HCPs) that long preceded the pandemic. The suffering of the healthcare workforce cannot be simply and sufficiently addressed with a single psychotherapeutic intervention. Nevertheless, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Studies recommended prioritizing interventions that generate an increased sense of meaning …
Leveraging the Work Environment to Minimize the Negative Impact of Nurse Burnout on Patient Outcomes
Improving the work environment remains a solution for hospitals looking to concurrently improve nurse burnout and patient outcomes. Administrators may look to the Magnet recognition program as a blueprint to better support nurses in providing safe, high quality care
