Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

6.5K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Design Example: Measuring Distance Between Two Points with Obstructions

401
When measuring distances in areas with physical obstructions, such as a lake in a field, surveyors must employ techniques to calculate accurate lengths without direct line measurements. One effective method is the offset technique, which allows for precise distance estimation over inaccessible stretches.In this scenario, a surveyor must measure a side of an area that crosses a lake. Since the measuring tape cannot span the lake, the surveyor begins by establishing a baseline that aligns with...

Group Design02:01

Group Design

10.5K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Bioequivalence Experimental Study Designs: Repeated Measures, Cross-Over, Carry-Over, and Latin Square Designs

206
Body:Bioequivalence experimental study designs play a pivotal role in testing the effectiveness of various treatments. Key among these are the repeated measures, cross-over, carry-over, and Latin square designs. In the repeated measures design, each subject receives all treatments, allowing for temporal comparisons. This type of design is useful in reducing variability but requires careful planning to avoid bias.The cross-over design, an economical method, involves sequential administration of...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness01:14

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Area of Science:

  • Academic Medicine
  • Surgical Department Management
  • Faculty Development Programs

Background:

  • Academic medical centers comprise diverse personnel including faculty, staff, residents, and advanced practice providers (APPs).
  • Investing in personnel recruitment, hiring, and training necessitates strategies to maximize return on investment and maintain departmental vitality.
  • The Department of Surgery at Indiana University lacked a comprehensive professional development program, presenting a challenge for faculty engagement and APP/staff development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance faculty engagement in professional development activities.
  • To initiate tailored professional development opportunities for advanced practice providers (APPs) and administrative staff.
  • To improve overall departmental vitality and return on investment within an academic surgical department.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a targeted professional development program focused on academic success, teaching, and leadership.
  • Activities were tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse departmental members.
  • Promoted engagement by proactively targeting select groups rather than relying on self-initiation.

Main Results:

  • Faculty development activities attended tripled between 2014 and 2017 following program inception.
  • Measures of engagement, deliverable completion, and new leadership positions obtained were tracked.
  • The program successfully increased participation across faculty, APPs, and staff.

Conclusions:

  • Appointing a dedicated director or vice chair is crucial for overseeing and championing professional development initiatives.
  • Prioritizing junior faculty development can capture internal motivation effectively.
  • Protected time for professional development is essential to overcome barriers of time and competing interests.
