Summary
The Stetler Model of Research Utilization improved a hospital
Area of Science:
- Nursing education
- Healthcare management
- Evidence-based practice
Background:
- Staff development educators require guidance for accurate research application.
- A preceptor program at a large metropolitan tertiary medical center needed revitalization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To apply the Stetler Model of Research Utilization to support and revitalize a preceptor program.
- To assess the impact of the Stetler Model on nursing satisfaction and staff turnover.
Main Methods:
- The Stetler Model of Research Utilization was implemented.
- The model guided the application of research-based knowledge within the preceptor program.
Main Results:
- Nurses reported improved satisfaction with their preceptors.
- A reduction in staff turnover rates was observed.
Conclusions:
- The Stetler Model effectively supports and revitalizes healthcare preceptor programs.
- Implementing research utilization models enhances nursing practice and retention.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:30Community Based Intervention
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:14Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...
