A convenience sample of 99 nurses from three acute-care hospitals was asked to rate caring attributes of nursing staff using the Nyberg Caring Assessment Scale, a 20 item 5-point Likert scale instrument. Fifty-nine nurses in the sample volunteered to participate in the study. Participants rated the attribute communicating a helping, trusting attitude toward others as extremely important, and the attribute consider relationships before rules as somewhat important. The remaining eighteen items were rated very important caring attributes to be exhibited by nursing staff in relations with patients and others in acute-care facilities. The study adds to the literature on caring and contributes to the nursing profession by expanding information about caring-based practice.

Title: Perspectives of professional competence by newly licensed, registered nurses.
Creator: Bartolone, Priscilla Dunson., Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
Abstract/Description: Professional competence is expected of all nurses in practice.

Title: Chief nursing officer sustainment in the continued practice of nursing leadership: a phenomenological inquiry.
Creator: Prestia, Angela S., Sherman, Rose O., Florida Atlantic University, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
Abstract/Description: The highly complex role of the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) requires the refinement of a multitude of competencies and leadership skills in this unprecedented time of healthcare reform. As the senior most patient advocate in our medical centers the CNO is responsible for translating research into practice, policy development and implementation creating value based patient-centric strategies to transform health care.

Show moreThe highly complex role of the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) requires the refinement of a multitude of competencies and leadership skills in this unprecedented time of healthcare reform. As the senior most patient advocate in our medical centers the CNO is responsible for translating research into practice, policy development and implementation creating value based patient-centric strategies to transform health care. The ability to sustain and thrive in this role is essential in repositioning nursing as a knowledgeable discipline actively contributing to the redesign of healthcare. This exploratory descriptive phenomenological study was designed to explore and describe the elements that contribute to the sustainment of CNOs in their practice of nurse executive leadership. Ray’s (1989) Theory of Bureaucratic Caring, Authentic Leadership Theory (Wong & Cummings, 2009), and Resiliency Theory (Earvolino- Ramirez (2007) provided the theoretical lens through which this study was grounded. Semi-structured telephonic interviews were conducted with twenty CNOs all with two consecutive years experience in their current role. Six themes emerged after thorough content analysis which describes the lived experience of sustainment. Each theme was supported by several subthemes. Themes emerged as: Loving the Profession, Having a Broader Impact Reflecting on One’s Own Work, Learning to Manage Conflict, Maintaining Work/Life Balance Working with Supportive Leaders.

Show moreThe purpose of the research was to explore the social process of trust between the chief nursing officer and the nurse manager in the hospital setting. The researcher used the grounded theory method to analyze the nurse manager-chief nursing officer relationship from the perspective of the nurse manager. A total of 12 participants were interviewed by the researcher. The sample consisted of nurse managers employed in hospitals in the southeastern United States. Data analysis consisted of open coding and constant comparative analysis. Resulting categories consisted of preparing to trust, co-creating trust and co-creating the trusting environment. The basic social process of the nurse manager-chief nursing officer trusting relationship in healthcare was the substantive theory of Striving to Live the Golden Rule which refers to living the nurse manager-chief nursing officer ethical relationship in a nursing environment where trust may be difficult to establish. The formal theory generated was the essential link between Striving to Live the Golden Rule to Living the Golden Rule as Unveiling the Mystery of Covenantal Trust. The overall results of this research demonstrated the process of trust between the nurse manager and chief nursing officer as essential to the overall relationship and to the success of both.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to describe the practice of nursing and the factors that influence nursing practice in one patient care setting where the Director is not a nurse. A qualitative design employing the methods of grounded theory was utilized. Reaching for Completeness was the core concept that emerged from the analysis. Reaching for Completeness describes the directionality of nursing practice in this setting. It includes: coming to Know the Client, Responding to the Immediate Needs of the Client, and Pulling it All Together. Factors that appeared to influence the practice of nursing in this setting were the management styles of the director and nurse manager, shared expectations of professionalism, and a shared sense of satisfaction in what the patients and staff accomplished together each day. The results of this study suggest that the main factor affecting the development of nursing practice in a patient care setting may not be whether the director is a nurse, but rather, whether nursing retains ownership of the practice of nursing.

Title: Clinical nurse leader [SM] stories: a phenomenological study about the meaning of leadership at the bedside.
Creator: Sorbello, Barbara C., Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
Abstract/Description: A new role has been developed in nursing named the Clinical Nurse LeaderSM (CNL®). This new role positions the masters prepared nurse at the patient's bedside to oversee care coordination and serve as a resource for the clinical nursing team, and to bridge the gaps in health care delivery to better meet the needs of patients in all health care delivery settings. Since this is a new role, there is a paucity of research that has been conducted surrounding these nurses. A phenomenological...
Show moreA new role has been developed in nursing named the Clinical Nurse LeaderSM (CNL®). This new role positions the masters prepared nurse at the patient's bedside to oversee care coordination and serve as a resource for the clinical nursing team, and to bridge the gaps in health care delivery to better meet the needs of patients in all health care delivery settings. Since this is a new role, there is a paucity of research that has been conducted surrounding these nurses. A phenomenological investigation examined the lived experiences of CNLs® to gain understanding about the meaning of leadership at the point of care and to discover the unique expressions of living caring that CNLs® experience as they embark upon this new role in the acute care hospital setting. Ten CNL® participants were interviewed for this study. Their stories about patient situations and relationships with other disciplines were shared with rich description and emotion. Hermeneutic analysis of the text revealed six essential themes. Six essential themes emerged revealing the essence of leading at the bedside and living caring in the CNL® role: navigating safe passage, pride in making a difference, bringing the bedside point of view, knowing the patient as person, helping nurses to grow, and CNLs® needing to be known, understood and affirmed. Taken as a whole through a synthesis of the themes, the understanding of the meaning of leading to CNLs® includes keeping their patients safe, being proud of their accomplishments and the respect gained from others, as well as being a helper and advocate for other nurses., This is accomplished through their privileged place at the bedside, where they come to know their patients as person and work hand in hand with nursing colleagues. When CNLs® are supported by management, and their roles are planned and understood, they are more fully able to optimally practice and live and grow in caring.

Title: Holding the frontline: the experience of being a charge nurse in an acute care setting.
Creator: Eggenberger, Terry L., Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing

Show moreWithin the current context of the healthcare environment, the charge nurse role has become very important for safety and positive outcomes. There is little known about the role from the perspective of the charge nurse. This qualitative descriptive exploratory study examined the experience of being a charge nurse in acute care practice, and describes how charge nurses live caring in their support of nurses and patients. Ray's (1989, 2006) theory of Bureaucratic Caring, Swanson's (2008) caring attributes and leadership, and Boykin and Schoenhofer's (2001) theory of Nursing as Caring provided the theoretical lenses through which study findings were viewed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 charge nurses in 4 acute care facilities. Eight themes emerged from an inductive analysis of the data describing the experience of being a charge nurse in acute care practice: Creating a Safety Net, Monitoring for Quality, Showing the Way, Completing the Puzzle, Managing the Flow, Mak ing a Difference, Putting Out Fires, and Keeping Patients Happy. Participants also were asked questions about how they provide support to staff nurses and patients. Themes that reflected how charge nurses live caring in their support of staff and patients were: Jumping in the Trenches, Nurturing Staff Growth, Offering Authentic Presence, and Looking after Nurses. Additionally, the researcher used methods of narrative inquiry to get the participants to share stories of how they lived caring in their support of nurses and patients. Recommendations included the need to elevate the visibility of the charge nurse role and its importance to the organization, and provide support for leadership development. Job descriptions and competencies for charge nurses must reflect the complexity of the environment., Charge nurse participants did not dialogue explicitly about their functions in terms of communication and intraprofessional team building. Since charge nurses have an increasing involvement with mentoring novice nurses and new staff, they would benefit from developing coaching skills. Given the current environment, their responsibilities in these areas may need to be better articulated so that they can focus on increasing these abilities.

The objective of this critical feminist ethnography was to understand these tensions by grounding them in nurses' experiences and perceptions. Data was gathered through ethnographic interviewing and participant-observations of a nurse key informant and her co-workers in the pediatric unit of a corporately managed acute care hospital. The data were analyzed according to the coding procedures and comparative method described by Strauss and Corbin (1990). Four characteristics of the corporate health care culture that conflict with nurses' practice ideals were identified: The Corporate Productivity Motive; The Priority of a Medical Regime Over Nursing Care; The Tolerance of Risk to Patient Safety; and The Hospitality Perspective. A critique of the patriarchal value structure that influences the health care system and recommendations for nursing practice, education, and research is provided.

The transcribed interview data were coded, concepts were identified, and the conceptual unit of meaning emerged. A conceptual model was developed and subsequently was analyzed in relation to Boykin's and Schoenhofer's (1993) Nursing as Caring Theory. It was discovered that staff nurses respect a nurse manager when she participates in direct nursing care, provides for the overall needs of the unit by negotiating with administrators, and nurtures nurses through listening to, encouraging, supporting and role modeling. Recommendations for nursing administration, practice, education and research are presented.

It was discovered that the nurses most frequently utilized the principle of beneficence, and were often affected by the contextual factors of past experiences. It was determined that the nurses engaged in a common process of ethical evaluation, identified in the Common Ethical Ground Conceptual Model. The common nursing goal was the well-being of patients, and the creation of environments which enhanced patient well-being. Patient education was identified as a method to reach this goal during an era of economic constraint.

Show moreIt is estimated that there will be a 20% shortage of full time equivalent registered nurses (RN) by 2015. Retention of nurses is a priority in health care, so a better understanding of factors that contribute to job satisfaction and intent to leave is needed. One possible factor is the quality of the interpersonal relationships that occur among managers, peers, and nurses. A negative quality would be acts of hostility or horizontal violence, which is nurse-to-nurse aggression. This is theorized to be a result of oppressed group behavior. These behaviors may influence job satisfaction and the intent to stay on the job and in the profession. The overall purpose of the study was to explore relationships between horizontal violence, oppressed group behavior, job satisfaction and intent to leave a position or nursing in the next 12 months. This pilot study examined factors that influence registered nurses ' job satisfaction and intent to leave a position or nursing. Convenience sampling was used to obtain the sample of registered nurses from a BSN completion program and a Novice Nurse Initiative Program (n=99). Written stories of conflict between nurses were obtained and analyzed with linguistic analysis and word count (LIWC) software and various standardized instruments were used including the Nurses Workplace Behavior Scale (NWBS), the Organizational Climate for Caring Scale (OCCS), the Peer Group Caring Interaction Scale (PGCIS), The McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale (MMSS) and two visual analogue scales (VAS). Significant relationships were found between job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position and nursing (p<.01), oppressed group behavior and intent to stay in nursing (p<.01), oppressed group behavior and job satisfaction (p<.01). Manager and peer caring behaviors were related to intent to stay in a position and nursing (p<.01). Using stepwise multiple regression, both manager and peer caring behaviors were found to influence the relationship between job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position or nursing. The findings of this study suggest that the quality of interpersonal relationships between managers, peers and nurses can influence job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position or nursing.

Title: More Than Good, Kind Angels: The Daughters of Charity's Relationship to Valuation, Mission and Money, 1916 To 1994.

Valuation as an economic term is used to define an entity's worth or value.

Show moreThe ability to gain payment for services is strongly linked to the ability of a profession to define the value of its service. Valuation as an economic term is used to define an entity's worth or value. As an approach, valuation encourages a company to document the financial value of both the tangible and intangible assets associated with the services provided. Today there are a limited number of studies that document the value of nursing services. Valuation studies related to nursing are challenged by the need to include the complexity of patient services that causes variation in research results. This historical case study examines one nursing initiative undertaken by the Daughters of Charity who were trained in nursing and finance and were able to demonstrate their value to the community of Jacksonville, Florida. In 1916, the Daughters of Charity came to Jacksonville to provide health care to the sick and the poor. They endured the hardships found in this southern city and endeared themselves to the community. They purchased a 42-bed Sanatorium and expanded this facility into a 528-bed hospital and health system. Across ninety years, the community supported and demonstrated their willingness to pay in order to sustain the Sisters mission. The themes identified in the study included an unwavering commitment to Jive the mission of the Daughters of Charity, an implicit authority allowing these Sisters to enter into business arrangements, an emphasis on ensuring that all Sisters gained education and mentorship in finance and nursing, the growth of a strong bond with the community of Jacksonville, and an ability to obtain funding needed to carry out their mission. Themes appearing to be in opposition to the Sisters mission included racial separation and the limited recognition given to nurses at the Sisters' hospital. In conclusion, the study tells the story of Sisters who were able to enhance their valuation by blending their knowledge of the health care business and nursing, while successfully obtaining the funding needed to fulfill their mission.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to explore what keeps nurses in nursing by examining the impact of the relational experiences between the nurse and her or his patient in the context of the nursing situation. Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology grounded the study and was the method used to interpret the registered nurse participants' meaning of their everydayness. The nurses' first hand perspectives elicited implications for nursing practice. This qualitative research study examined what keeps nurses in nursing. The eight registered nurse participants provided rich descriptive data from which four relational themes emerged: Practicing from Inner Core Beliefs, Understanding the Other from Within, Making a Difference, and Nursing as an Evolving Process. The hermeneutical interpretative process guided the researcher to synthesize the themes into a constitutive pattern of meaning which the researcher named Intentional Compassion Energy. In intentional caring consciousness, the nurse intentionally knows the nursed as whole. Compassion energy is the intersubjective gift of compassion that gives nurses the opportunity to be with the nursed. Compassion energy is composed of compassionate presence, patterned nurturance and intentionally knowing the nursed and self as whole. Thus, intentional compassion energy is defined as the regeneration of nurses' capacity to foster interconnectedness when the nurse activates the intent to nurse. Intentional compassion energy was discovered in the meaning of the nurse participants being in their everydayness of practice. The participants described the intention to care compassionately as the grounding of their practice, striving to understand the other, to make a difference while living their nursing as an evolving process. Hermeneutic phenomenology provided the opening to discover what keeps nurses in nursing.
