- Effectiveness of Educational Modules to Increase Knowledge of Operating Room Fires in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists
- Creator:
- Rex, Tyler A. and Scheuher, Vincent S.
- Contributor:
- Ranalli, Lee and Stelflug, Bradley
- Description:
- Background and Review of Literature: Operating room (OR) fires can inflict devastating harm to healthcare organizations, staff, patients, and caretakers. All perioperative staff members need specific education on preventing and managing OR fires. Student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) should receive thorough fire prevention and management training during their didactic training before entering clinical rotations to increase patient and staff safety. Purpose: This is a project aimed to determine if implementing an electronic OR fire training module would increase the knowledge and confidence of first-year SRNAs attending a small private Catholic university in the mid-west before heading into their clinical rotations. Methods:81 research articles concerning current knowledge and education in OR fires were analyzed. Implementation Plan/Procedure: A pre-education intervention assessment questionnaire was completed to establish a knowledge baseline. A module was developed to provide critical education on OR fire safety, in which 34 SRNAs participated in the project. A post-education assessment questionnaire revealed increased knowledge and confidence in OR fire prevention and management. The SRNA participants also completed a modified Educational Practices Questionnaire-Curriculum Likert-scale tool that allowed them to give feedback to the course presenters regarding whether their educational needs were met. The sample population size of only 34 participants limits the interpretation of the results. Further investigation into using electronic training modules to increase knowledge and confidence should be explored.

33. Effectiveness of Utilizing the Anatomage Table to Teach a Neuraxial Block
- Title Tesim:
- Effectiveness of Utilizing the Anatomage Table to Teach a Neuraxial Block
- Creator:
- Johnson, Sarah
- Description:
- Neuraxial blocks are widely used by anesthesia providers in primarily orthopedic and obstetric populations. In many anesthesia programs, education surrounding regional blocks is limited to the classroom setting without thorough training on anatomy. The Anatomage table is a three-dimensional digital screen that allows students to perform virtual dissections and visualize various anatomical structures in the classroom setting. Review of the literature found that the Anatomage table improves visualization of structures, enhances anatomy comprehension, and serves as a useful supplemental tool. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project evaluates the effectiveness of the Anatomage table in enhancing Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist’s (SRNA) knowledge and confidence in performing neuraxial blocks, potentially informing its integration into anesthesia programs. This quality improvement project design utilized an educational intervention in addition to a pretest-posttest format containing a variety of knowledge based quantitative questions, confidence questions and Likert scale questions. A sample of 21 Marian University first-year SRNAs participated in the educational intervention session, and 7 students from the same class served as the control group. Participants who used the Anatomage table demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge (p=0.001) and reported higher satisfaction and self-confidence (p < .05), compared to the control group. However, the difference in knowledge scores between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significant (U=41, p=0.073). By incorporating this tool, SRNAs will be able to gain a deeper knowledge of various topics and be more confident in the clinical setting, allowing them to provide safe and expert care to patients.

35. The Effects of Impostor Phenomenon on the Minority CRNA Student
- Title Tesim:
- The Effects of Impostor Phenomenon on the Minority CRNA Student
- Creator:
- Breland, Anissa
- Description:
- Imposter Phenomenon (IP), better known as Impostor Syndrome, may be defined as a state of fearing intellectual phoniness and an inability to internalize success. What was first discovered to appear in high-achieving women; now affects nearly 70% of the general population and is more prevalent in under-represented groups that includes racial, ethnic, gender, LGBTQ, religious, and other minorities. This project aimed to assess the impact of IP on the minority certified registered nurse anesthesia (CRNA) student, and the effectiveness of a small group discussion to minimize IP effects. The participants were enrolled in the graduating class of 2024, 2025, and 2026 of a CRNA program located in the Midwest. To implement this project, an online survey was administered using the survey software program Qualtrics. Qualtrics was utilized to deliver the survey link to respondent emails and collect responses electronically. The participants were required to complete the Clance Impostor Phenomenon scale pre-test to assess the personal impact of IP. Approximately 2 weeks following the initial survey, a brief PowerPoint presentation was presented via WebEx immediately followed by small group discussion including volunteers from the CRNA profession and a post-survey. It should be noted that information was only collected on the CRNA students and not the CRNA participants. The results of this project were limited because of the small sample size and additional research should be conducted.

- Effects of Intraoperative Precedex in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit
- Creator:
- Stephens, Katelyn M.
- Description:
- Precedex is a common sedative used for procedural sedation and as an adjunct in general anesthesia. This project uses a retrospective chart review to determine if intraoperative Precedex boluses increase the length of stay in the postoperative anesthesia care unit (PACU). This project focuses on pediatric patients, 2-12 years old, undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy surgery. Indiana University Arnett Hospital and its associated ambulatory surgery center (ASC) are the sole facilities of this project implementation. Neuman’s Systems Model Theory guides the framework for this project determining patient stressors and appropriate interventions.

37. Effects of Mentoring on Job Satisfaction
- Title Tesim:
- Effects of Mentoring on Job Satisfaction
- Creator:
- Patton-Boyd, Kelly
- Description:
- Background: Hospitals have experienced nursing shortages and high rates of turnover for years. Healthcare organizations have sought answers to these problems, such as stressful work environments, lateral violence, perceived lack of support and general job dissatisfaction. Hospitals' nursing workforce is being affected in a large way; therefore, a solution is needed. Hospitals around the United States and in other countries have instituted mentoring programs to increase job satisfaction and increase nursing job retention. Objective: The purpose of this project was to implement and assess the effectiveness of a mentoring program at a Midwestern Hospital. Methods: A mentoring program was developed that paired new employees with a mentor who had been employed by the organization for a minimum of one year. The mentor-mentee pairs attended a training session at the beginning of the project and then met monthly. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) was utilized as a pre and post-survey to assess the effect of the mentoring program. Results: There was 100% mentee participation in the pre-survey with a mean MSQ score of 86; only 42% mentees participated in the post survey, with a mean MSQ score of 83. Nurse turnover rate prior to the implementation of the project was 9.09%; this rate dropped to 4.54% after the project. Conclusion: The mentoring intervention helped the mentees to establish supportive relationships with established nurses. Program protocol was not strictly followed exhibited by several deviations including low response to the post-survey. Due to low post-survey responses, the effect of the intervention could not be adequately evaluated. Although there was not 100% participation in the completion of the post-intervention questionnaires the responses received indicated a positive effect.

38. Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Nurse Anesthesia Students
- Title Tesim:
- Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Nurse Anesthesia Students
- Creator:
- Stroup, Bridgette
- Description:
- The future and strength of the nurse anesthesia profession starts here, with this generation of doctoral nurse anesthesia students. Setting up a foundation of healthy coping skills is key to the longevity of a healthy nurse anesthesia practice. However, nurse anesthesia students have long been known to undergo high levels of stress and anxiety due to the intense pressure and obligations of school. That goes without saying that life is inevitably filled with stressors; nonetheless, many people are ill-equipped to properly deal with and process high levels of stress.

39. The Effects of Video Simulation Learning on Preoperative Evaluation
- Title Tesim:
- The Effects of Video Simulation Learning on Preoperative Evaluation
- Creator:
- Betz, Robin
- Description:
- This project was submitted to the faculty of Marian University Leighton School of Nursing as partial fulfillment of degree requirements for the Doctor of Nursing Practice Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Track. The student registered nurse anesthetist (SRNA) curriculum consists of didactic and clinical. While the didactic portion contains the knowledge needed clinically, it is often hard to transition that knowledge into practice. Simulation is a proven method shown to help SRNAs transition into practice. Furthermore, simulation learning improves SRNA confidence, knowledge, and clinical performance (Ambardekar et al., 2016). It is vital SRNAs are both confident and knowledgeable in their comprehension and ability to perform basic skills, such as preoperative anesthesia evaluations. Confidence and knowledge translate into efficiency in practice and aids in improved patient safety and outcomes in the clinical setting (Ritter et al., 2020).

40. Efficacy of an Airway Management Educational Primer for Perianesthesia Nursing Staff
- Title Tesim:
- Efficacy of an Airway Management Educational Primer for Perianesthesia Nursing Staff
- Creator:
- Engelman, Megan
- Description:
- It is a requirement of perianesthesia nurses to be competent in caring for patients who are sedated or anesthetized for procedures in a hospital setting. Oftentimes, when patients are sedated, they are unable to maintain their own airways. This can lead to respiratory decompensation of the patient if interventions are not employed. Therefore, perianesthesia nursing requires expert advanced airway assessment and management skills or training to achieve competency. A review of related studies on continuing education of nurses reveals that trainings are beneficial in the realms of knowledge acquisition, practice change, and perceived self-efficacy. The primary purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of such an educational training on knowledge gained utilizing a pre/post-test method of assessment. A secondary aim was to measure if there was a reduction in skill-related anxiety of the nurses following the training utilizing a short-form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Adults. Long-term follow up of both knowledge gained and anxiety levels was performed at a six-month interval after the initial training. The findings between the initial knowledge and anxiety pre-and post-tests were both statistically significant (p<0.001). However, at the six-month interval, neither the knowledge gained nor reduction of anxiety remained significantly better compared to the initial pre-test. Nurse training and education is effective in increasing knowledge and self-efficacy, but long-term continuing education may be necessary to maintain familiarity and competence with material.
