NURS FPX 6085 Assessment 3 Intervention Plan Design
NURS FPX 6085 Assessment 3 Intervention Plan Design Student name Capella University NURS- FPX6085 Professor Name Submission Date NURS FPX 6085 Assessment 3 Intervention Plan Design Healthcare intervention planning is a systematic approach that allows the clinician and/or healthcare leader to address a specific practice problem, in a streamlined and systematized way. It provides a place where concerns can be expressed, quantifiable objectives set and evidence-based strategies to improve practice in the high acuity units of women’s services can be identified in the context of new graduate nurses. In addition to this, an effective intervention plan should be in place ensuring that nurses receive regular support, guidance and skills to support their clinical practice during their initial practice (Klaic et al., 2022). This evaluation should be focused on the most critical components to design, implement, and measure an educational simulation activity that could be utilized to prepare new graduate nurses, based on the PICOT question. Intervention Plan Components Major Components The main approach to their learning strategy is the use of high fidelity simulation, clinical skills testing, and a preceptor’s ongoing supervision and guidance to ensure clinical readiness (Tan et al., 2022). The interventions are evidence informed and target key confidence concerns, emergency situations and critical decision making – the top three areas that challenge new graduate nurses – and allow for practice within a safe learning environment, in complex maternal and neonatal scenarios. The intervention facilitates development of technical skills and training of clinical reasoning that will create safe patient care and reduce the anxiety in high acuity situations. Such a holistic approach to education is associated with improvement in performance, minimization of clinical errors, enhanced confidence and transition to independent practice as compared to the use of the traditional model of education only. Criteria of Success The effectiveness of this will be measured by the objective measures of the clinical preparedness, confidence and safe practice of nurses who have completed the structured simulation based orientation. This will include an improvement in the performance scores for simulations, preceptor scores and degree of self-reported confidence in the areas of routine and high-acuity situations for women’s services which are among the key indicators (Tan et al., 2022). Decreased number of near-miss, decreased clinical errors and improved clinical protocol compliance in the post-orientation stage will be some of the other markers for success. Other areas of success include continuing competency, continued use of simulation as a learner-centred approach, improved patient safety and the quality of care that lead to long term successful outcomes. The benefits of the successful implementation will also be recognised throughout the women’s services unit through more efficient use of clinical and educational resources and in reducing the sense of detachment and more importantly, the cost of any adverse event that occurs. Cultural Needs and Characteristics of the Population The target population for this project is new graduate nurses, due to their varied backgrounds across the three main areas (culture, education, and personal life) that may potentially impact on their approaches to learning, communication and confidence in making clinical decisions in a busy unit in a busy urban women’s services. All of these differences will require flexibility, inclusiveness and adjustment of the educational interventions to meet their previous exposure and familiarity with the health system. Culture sensitivity and respectful communication would need to be embedded in the teamwork simulation scenarios and in the orientation programmes, to reinforce teamwork and patient centred care (Ost et al., 2020). High evidence-based practice, inter-professional working and patient safety are part of the culture of the women’s services units which creates an environment conducive to the implementation of standardized and simulation training. Some challenges that affect consistency in training delivery however should be approached with care in change management approaches because of the hierarchical structure, differences in work experience of preceptors and resistance to change. Furthermore, the high stress, fast-paced environment in which the unit operates means that an orientation program needs to be well integrated and efficient, which can be an effective – albeit challenging – way to fit into the unit’s overall workflow, without disrupting the uniformity of the nursing unit and the interprofessional team in general. Assumptions Some of the challenges that come with this are making sure that there is enough staff to have a dedicated turn team at every shift, especially during night and weekend shifts; or having enough financial resources to run this. Staff reluctance to changing their workflows when bedside nurses might think the team is encroaching on patient care might impact on collaboration (Cheraghi et al., 2023). Planning patient repositioning schedules with other patient care activities, treatments and procedures can be logistically complex. In addition, in hemodynamically unstable patients, a different turning schedules might be necessary, and the turning schedules should be clearly communicated (Vyas et al., 2024). Theoretical Foundations Nursing Models In this project, the nursing theory that has proven to be relevant is the Self-Care Deficit Theory proposed by Dorothea Orem and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) Synergy Model that are applicable in improving clinical preparation and safe nursing practices for new graduate nurses. This theory supports the design of nursing assistance in cases where patients are unable to take care of themselves completely, a direct link to the design nursing in cases of protection of maternal and neonatal patients in extreme cases. The AACN Synergy Model emphasizes the connection between nurse competency to patient complexity and the need to focus on competency development of nurses through simulation education in women’s services units). Of all these, the Self-Care Deficit Theory of Orem is the most applicable to the design of the intervention and derives the nursing roles, accountability and evidence-based practice that will enhance the safety of patients during the transition to practice. Strengths and Weaknesses Yet, certain drawbacks of the theory in this context are its limitation of interprofessional co-operation which is essential in this area of service provision, where collaboration between the professions of nursing, doctors and service staff
