Item Open Access Improving SIDS Discharge Education : A Standardized Approach(Northern Kentucky University) Spallinger, Angela H.Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention continues to be a focus in healthcare. The consistency and quality of education regarding safe sleep practices provided to parents of newborns at discharge can affect the techniques used at home to prevent death from SIDS. A quality improvement project was conducted at a hospital in the Midwest involving registered nurses on the obstetrics and special care nursery units. The intervention consisted of developing a standardized safe sleep educational pamphlet and a plan for consistent discharge education regarding SIDS prevention. Participants completed a pretest assessing their baseline knowledge of SIDS prevention and safe sleep, utilized the new SIDS prevention pamphlet along with a oneminute video clip to deliver discharge education regarding safe sleep to parents of newborns, and then took the posttest at the completion of the project. Quantitative data was examined from pretest and posttest scores, along with qualitative feedback solicited from parent surveys about the education after discharge. Participation was low and results showed no change in knowledge from the comparison of pre and posttest answers. When asked, parents were able to recall key elements of the education and indicated that they used the information about safe sleep at home.Item Open Access Structured Debriefing following High Fidelity Simulation to Improve Learner Experience and Significance(Northern Kentucky University, 2020) Lieb, MeganItem Open Access Treating Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Newly Arriving Refugees: An Advanced Practice Nurse Initiative at the University of Louisville Global Health Center(University of Louisville, 2019) Goss, Linda; Balcom, Dawn; Mutsch, Karen; Carrico, Ruth; Bosson, RahelItem Open Access Facilitator Role in the Provision of Sexual Health Education for At-Risk High School Students(Northern Kentucky University, 2019) Howard, Nikki L.Item Open Access DNP Scholarly Project Paper: Clinical Techniques of Regional Anesthesia: Spinal and Epidural, Fourth Edition.(Northern Kentucky University, 2018) Kasson, BrianItem Open Access The Role of Recognition and Education of Obese Patients in the Retail Health Setting and the Effect on Dietitian Referrals(Northern Kentucky University, 2018) Davis, KatieItem Open Access Intention to Breastfeed and Intervention in the African-American Community(Northern Kentucky University, 2018) Bethel-Jaiteh, CynethiaItem Open Access Preparing the Staff Nurse for the Role of Clinical Teaching Partner on a Dedicated Education Unit(Northern Kentucky University, 2018) Gholson, Shari D.Item Open Access Evaluation of a Public Health Department Project: Effectiveness of Expanded Access to Care for Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence(Northern Kentucky University, 2018) Rhodes-King, Alfreda J.Item Open Access Use of Emergency Department for Care Access by Refugees Resettling in Kentucky, 2015: Findings from the University of Louisville Global Health Center(University of Louisville, 2018) Carrico, Ruth M.Item Open Access Parental Perceptions in Teen Health Education: Sexual Health, Healthy Relationships, and Communication(Northern Kentucky University) Celphane, Kristin
