Learning Objective 1: Describe how research can support the components of the Magnet Model.
Learning Objective 2: Discuss new knowledge gained from nursing research studies at a children’s hospital.
This poster will highlight five nursing research studies from a Magnet Designated non-academic children’s medical center that support the five components of the Magnet Model®. Transformational Leadership: Study #1 “Impact of Implementation of a New Professional Practice Model on Pediatric Nurse Job Satisfaction” is a cross sectional study of 350 nurses that demonstrated the ability to maintain satisfaction even during the time of change and stress. Structural Empowerment: Study #2 “Outcomes of a Post-Baccalaureate Nurse Residency.” This on-going mixed methods study examines critical thinking, anxiety, competency, and professional engagement in BSN prepared nurse residents undergoing a 12 month residency. Exemplary Professional Practice: Study #3 “Analysis of a Multidisciplinary Communication Tool (MCT) in a Pediatric Inpatient Setting”. This qualitative descriptive study examined the use of a tool developed to improve interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. The researchers analyzed 645 MCTs and found 10 different disciplines utilized the tool, and identified four main areas of communication. New Knowledge and Innovations: Study #4 “Effects of Therapeutic Suggestion during Light Anesthesia on Outcomes and Implicit Memory in Children Age 4-8 years post Tonsillectomy.” This on-going double –blinded randomized controlled clinical trial is studying the impact of an innovative low- cost nursing intervention on nausea & vomiting, pain, emergence delirium, length of stay and implicit memory in 148 children. Empirical Outcomes: Study #5 “Pediatric In-Patient Falls Study: Institutional Results”. This prospective descriptive study was part of a national CHCA multi-site study examining falls by pediatric inpatients. Institutional results of the study sample (32 falls over a six month period) led to the development of an EBP project to strengthen our current falls prevention program. These studies represent the expectation of Magnet Recognition® that the organization will continue to discover and share new knowledge that provides evidence to support excellence in nursing.
