Governance Structure

Faculty and students play a major role in continuous program evaluation and the formulation of recommendations to improve educational policies, procedures, and learning outcomes. As faculty, we realize that our students are extremely busy with numerous demands from their personal, employment, and college-related commitments. Therefore, this web page was designed to provide student with information on the decision-making process used in the College, as well as to provide a communication vehicle to assist students in voicing their concerns and suggestions.

Policy recommendations governing the operation of the nursing program originate in the College's five standing committees. Recommendations are forwarded to the faculty organization for approval. Policy changes are then routed to the Dean for final approval and implementation.

Professional Values

Professional values serve as a foundation for nursing practice. Practicing nursing with an appreciation of respectfulness, caring and human dignity leads to a sense of honor and fulfillment. Nurse educators are challenged to convey core values while introducing students to the professional role. The faculty of the college join together in the responsibility to teach nursing values and show how they are translated into practice.

The faculty of the college use diverse teaching strategies to support the development of values. In the clinical setting, faculty encourage students to reflect on situations that involve the application of values. In the classroom, scenarios are introduced that promote awareness of issues and values prevalent in society. Faculty strive to develop a learning environment in which ethical behavior is expected and respected. Faculty endeavor to display behaviors that convey fairness, concern, respectfulness, and integrity.

Students who are joining the profession learn to take on the responsibility of promoting nursing values through their actions. Students agree to uphold standards of honesty, integrity and accountability. Students develop a climate of inclusiveness, respect and growing self-awareness as they interact with patients, colleagues and faculty. Students are encouraged to speak out when they notice injustices and to show concern for those who are vulnerable...

NU:401: Research and Outcomes Management for the Practicing Nurse

Abstract

Purpose: This particular type of poster aims to provide a review of the relevant literature regarding strategies for addressing the communication needs of nonverbal stroke patients. The objective was to organize data from primary investigations and literature reviews to determine the strategies utilized by healthcare professionals to enhance communication as well as patient outcomes for the mentioned category of patients.

Residual communication disorders are rather prevalent following stroke, the most common of which is aphasia which compromises the clients’ ability to communicate their needs and participate in health-related decision-making. Successful communication techniques play an important role in the nursing and rehabilitation context to guarantee that patients with such conditions deserve to be properly cared for. This literature review discusses a variety of research papers to understand how healthcare professionals facilitate communication inward stroke patients, with a focus on the technologies that support patient-centered and interprofessional practice.

Some research cited in the review includes Teasell et al. (2020), Azevedo et al. (2023), and Joseph et al. (2022). The study by Teasell et al. (2020) evaluated participation of the stroke patients in rehabilitation activities focusing on the key practice of effectively communicating with patients with stroke to enhance their participation and improve rehabilitation outcomes. Azevedo et al. (2023) provided treatment objectives that were targeted towards increasing the efficiency of the communication in nursing care of patients suffering from aphasia with specific emphasis on the importance of using communication aids and ensuring that the nursing personnel are trained and educated in the management of patients with aphasia. In their study, Joseph et al. (2022) explored the communication practices of the teams within a nursing setting while caring for stroke patients, focusing on the importance of team collaboration and the use of technologies to meet patients’ communication requirements.

For broader insights, secondary sources such as Kalav et al. (2022) and Jarva et al. (2021) had to be incorporated in the review. Kalav et al. (2022) highlighted the necessity of genuine empathetic communication in the frame of constructing a beneficial patient-practitioner relation that is valuable for improving the satisfaction level and adherence to treatment schedule in case of stroke patients with communication difficulties. According to Jarva et al. (2021), this group of patients experiences several obstacles in hospitals, which would require the training of health professionals and the inclusion of caregivers in the communication process for a positive result.

Thus, the analysis of both primary and secondary sources contributes significantly to the understanding of the diverse nature of communication problems in nonverbal stroke patients. Some of the practical implications of this review entail the adoption of effective communication devices and software technologies for disabled people to gain independence in communication, and the design of patient-centered communication educational programs for health care providers. Future research directions are to identify other ways to improve the effectiveness of communication among stroke-associated nonverbal patients and develop technologies that can help enhance the quality of care for such individuals. This review advances the knowledge concerning personalized communication approaches regarding communication-disabled stroke patients in the nursing and rehabilitation contexts. This poster offers key recommendations for practicing healthcare professionals as well as outlining areas for future investigation to ensure the best possible care is provided to nonverbal stroke patients.
