III C Nursing and Psychology Presentation 1: Triad of Anxiety: A Qualitative Analysis of Anxiety in Collegiate Athletes in Nursing Programs

Anxiety and implications of anxiety were studied in nursing student-athletes. This qualitative research looked at perceptions of nursing student-athletes’ anxiety and feelings of perfectionism. Three main research questions were investigated: What impact does anxiety have on a nursing student-athletes? How does perfectionism affect a nursing-student athlete\u27s anxiety? How can coaches and professors aid in the reduction of the nursing student-athlete\u27s anxiety? Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Resulting phenomena led to the concept of the Triad of Anxiety. It was found that nursing student-athletes experienced perceived threats, negative internal experiences, and used coping phenomena to avoid or control their internal experiences. Individuals who considered themselves perfectionists experienced even more negative internal experiences than those who did not consider themselves perfectionists. Keywords: Anxiety, Nursing Students, Collegiate Athletes, Perfectionis

Nursing Student Stress

Nursing students experience multiple stressors as they are expected to apply theoretical learning and develop critical thinking skills while in the professional environment. Perceived overwhelming negative stressors can lead to absenteeism, job dissatisfaction, and a high employment turnover rate. This research compared levels of stress between sophomore, junior and senior nursing students at a public university and a private college, utilizing the Student Nurse Stress Index (SNSI, Jones and Johnson, 1999) and the Nursing Student Demographic Survey. Summary scores from the SNSI suggest that private college students report higher levels of stress than public students in four main areas including: “exams and/or grades”, “amount of classwork to be learned”, “difficulty of classwork to be learned”, and “lack of free time”. Key words: nursing student stress, college student stress, mature college student stress, student anxiety

Nursing Student Stress

Nursing students deal with a variety of stressors, including difficult curriculum and new endeavors such as clinical and lab experiences. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between stress levels and coping mechanisms and readiness to change unhealthy coping mechanisms in baccalaureate nursing students. The Transtheoretical Model of Change guides this non-experimental, correlational study and measured readiness for change. The Student Nurse Stress Index was used to measure stress. The abbreviated COPE Inventory was used to measure coping. Online recruitment, consent forms, and surveys were distributed to nursing students via the Student Success Center in the College of Health Professions; participants were asked to self-report level of stress, causes of stress, coping, and readiness to change coping. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Analysis included ANOVA Pearson’s r to determine group differences and associations across grade level. It was found that stress level among nursing students remained high across all grade levels, with the average stress level being 68 out of 110 on the SNSI. There was no statistically significant difference in stress level between engaging in either positive coping mechanisms or negative coping mechanisms. The final research question, which examined the relationship between readiness to change and negative coping, was ultimately unable to be answered

Application of Condition‐Based Maintenance in Health Care: A Concept Analysis

Chronic illness burdens individuals, organizations and society, costing the US $3.5 trillion annually. Transposed from the engineering industry, condition‐based maintenance is a novel concept that holds great promise for alleviating this burden by enhancing current health care delivery methods. Aims of this concept analysis include, (a) develop an operational definition for the term condition‐based maintenance and (b) discuss the applicability and effectiveness of condition‐based maintenance as applied to health care. A search of engineering and health care literature was completed. The search term “condition‐based maintenance” was entered into the PubMed, Wiley Interscience Journals, CINAHL, Journals@Ovid, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source, and Emerald databases. A review of the literature was completed to identify the qualities of condition‐based maintenance. Utilizing the Walker and Avant method, antecedents, characteristics, and consequences were identified. A conceptual model of condition‐based maintenance was developed encompassing two antecedents, four characteristics, and three consequences. Furthermore, a theoretical definition of condition‐based maintenance was derived. Focus on the positive effects of proactively monitoring symptoms among chronically‐ill persons is needed. Condition‐based maintenance advances the National Institute of Nursing Research\u27s focus on symptom science through the development of personalized strategies to treat and prevent the adverse symptoms of illness

Transforming Patient Check-in/Registration with a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Integrated QR Code System and Mobile App

The aim of the project is to examine the implementation of universal quick response (QR) codes issued by health insurance providers for patient identification within electronic health records (EHR). The integration of QR codes into EHR using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources Application Programming Interface (FHIR API) can help standardize the identification process, making it more efficient and reducing medical errors. These improvements can lead to a reduction in waiting time, improved patient satisfaction and coordination of care. The paper will provide insights on the possibility for widespread adoption of QR codes for patient identification in healthcare and its impact on the overall quality of patient care. The paper will compare current methods of patient identification with the new approach of using universal QR codes, outline the objectives, project timeline, and deliverables. The findings of this project will be important not only for patients but for healthcare providers, health insurance providers, and policymakers

Triad of Anxiety: A Qualitative Analysis for Anxiety in Nursing Student Collegiate-Athletes

Anxiety and resulting implications are prevalent for collegiate athletes who are also in nursing studies. These authors conducted a qualitative research study to analyze perceptions of nursing student-athlete’s anxiety and feelings of perfectionism. Three main research questions were investigated: What impact does anxiety have on a nursing student-athletes? How does perfectionism affect a nursing-student athlete\u27s anxiety? How can coaches and professors aid in the reduction of the nursing student-athlete\u27s anxiety? Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and then coded. Resulting phenomena led to the concept of the Triad of Anxiety. Results indicated that nursing student-athletes experienced perceived threats, negative internal experiences, and used coping phenomena to avoid or control their internal experiences. Individuals who considered themselves perfectionists experienced even more negative internal experiences than those who did not consider themselves a perfectionist
