A Radical RN- BS Nursing Class: Outcomes from an Integrative Yoga Elective
1Nursing, University of Maine at Augusta, Augusta, ME,USA.
International Journal of Nursing Education Scholarship
|June 14, 2018
Summary
Nursing students face high stress. An innovative yoga elective in an RN-BSN program supports self-care, enhancing resilience and preventing burnout for future nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Holistic Health
- Psychoneuroimmunology
Background:
- Nursing students experience significant stress, impacting their well-being and future practice.
- Ethical considerations necessitate revising educational approaches to address student stress.
- Current nursing curricula may not adequately prepare students for self-care and stress resilience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the outcomes of a yoga elective for upper-level RN-BSN students.
- To explore the role of self-care in fostering caring-healing practices among nurses.
- To investigate the potential of holistic-integral nursing curricula in preventing burnout.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of an upper-level yoga elective within an RN-BSN program.
- Integration of the elective into an innovative holistic-integral nursing curriculum.
- Focus on self-care practices to enhance stress resilience.
Main Results:
- The yoga elective provided a supportive environment for nursing students.
- Participants demonstrated increased self-awareness regarding self-care needs.
- The course contributed to a greater understanding of holistic approaches to nursing.
Conclusions:
- Innovative curricular approaches, including self-care practices like yoga, are essential for nursing education.
- Supporting nurses in self-care is crucial for sustainable, caring bedside practices and burnout prevention.
- Holistic-integral nursing education can enhance stress resilience and promote well-being in the nursing profession.

01:16Radical Reactivity: Nucleophilic Radicals
2.7K
Radicals adjacent to electron-donating groups are called nucleophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with electrophilic alkenes. The SOMO–LUMO interactions are the driving force for the reaction, where the high-energy SOMO of the electron-rich, nucleophilic radicals interacts with the low-energy LUMO of the electron-deficient, electrophilic alkenes. Such SOMO–LUMO interactions are the basis of reactive radical traps, affecting the selectivity in radical reactions. For...

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Roots, often written as radicals, identify the quantity that must be raised to a specific exponent to produce a given value. A radical expression consists of two main components: the radicand, which is the value placed inside the root symbol, and the index, which indicates the degree of the root being taken. The notation n√a indicates the principal nth root of a. If n equals 2, the operation is the square root, while n = 3 defines the cube root. When n is even, a negative radicand does...

01:02Radical Reactivity: Electrophilic Radicals
2.5K
Radicals adjacent to electron‐withdrawing groups are called electrophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with nucleophilic alkenes. For example, the malonate radical, in which the radical center is flanked by two electron‐withdrawing groups, reacts readily with butyl vinyl ether, which consists of an electron‐donating oxygen substituent. The reaction between electrophilic malonate radical and nucleophilic vinyl ether is favored because the radical has a...

Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...
