Title: NURSING KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEIVED COMFORT LEVEL IN ACUTE INFUSION REACTIONS FROM ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS.
Creator: Maiorini, Andrea L, Loerzel, Victoria, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description: INTRODUCTION: Acute infusion reactions from antineoplastic agents can include hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxis, and cytokine release infusion reactions. Severe acute infusion reactions happen in about 5% of the oncology patient population and nurses are responsible for assessment and management of the reaction. This is a high-stress task for a nurse magnified by the lack of exposure. This project explores nursing knowledge and perceived comfort level of acute infusion reactions caused...
Show moreINTRODUCTION: Acute infusion reactions from antineoplastic agents can include hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxis, and cytokine release infusion reactions. Severe acute infusion reactions happen in about 5% of the oncology patient population and nurses are responsible for assessment and management of the reaction. This is a high-stress task for a nurse magnified by the lack of exposure. This project explores nursing knowledge and perceived comfort level of acute infusion reactions caused by antineoplastic agents. METHODOLOGY: An original survey was created to test nursing knowledge and assess comfort level. Nursing knowledge was broken down into six subscales: general knowledge of acute infusion reactions, signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, and cytokine release infusion reaction, and drugs most likely to cause hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions and cytokine release infusion reactions. Comfort questions were asked on a 6-point Likert scale from extremely uncomfortable to extremely comfortable. There was an additional section in the survey related to nurses' distress and support in situations with acute infusion reactions. The questions were presented using a 6-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. There were two open-ended questions that were designed to allow the nurses to share any additional information about their experiences with acute infusion reactions. Oncology nurses working with adults and pediatric populations were invited to participate. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the survey results. T tests were used to compare groups and Pearson R statistics were used to examine relationships between total knowledge, knowledge subscale score, and comfort level. RESULTS: 20 nurses completed the survey. 12 were from the adult nurse population and 8 were from the pediatric nurse population. The typical participant was forty-four years of age, had sixteen years experience as a Registered Nurse, and thirteen years experience in the oncology setting. The average total knowledge score was a 56% based on 84 possible points. The basic knowledge section and the anaphylactic signs and symptoms were the highest scoring subscales, both scoring a 62%. Cytokine release infusion reaction signs and symptoms was the lowest scoring subscale with a 45%. There were no significant differences in knowledge between groups. The nurses chose an overwhelming agree/strongly agree when asked to choose the signs and symptoms related to each type of infusion reaction. The total comfort level score indicated that nurses were very comfortable managing acute reactions. There was no significant difference between the adult and pediatric setting comfort level scores. There was no statistically significant relationship between total knowledge score and total comfort level score. DISCUSSION: The knowledge score showed knowledge deficits while the comfort score indicated confidence in management of acute infusion reactions. The high frequency of agree/strongly agree for all three subscales of signs and symptoms indicates that the nurses at least know what to look for even if they cannot assign the specific sign and symptom to the type of infusion reaction. Knowledge about signs of specific types of drug reactions may not be necessary as long as a basic understanding of what to look for and how to manage a reaction is present.

Title: PARTICIPANT'S PERCEPTION OF REALISM AND PEDIATRIC PAIN ASSESSMENT UTILIZING A VIRTUAL PATIENT: A PILOT STUDY.
Creator: Carson, Alexandra, Anderson, Mindi, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description: The use of simulation in curriculum affords students with the opportunity to enhance clinical skills in a safe environment. However, certain aspects of patient assessment are difficult to reproduce in current simulators, such as changes in facial expressions. Facial expressions are of particular importance when assessing for the presence and severity of pain in the pediatric population. Inconsistencies found in accurate identification of pain suggest the necessity of improved pain assessment...
Show moreThe use of simulation in curriculum affords students with the opportunity to enhance clinical skills in a safe environment. However, certain aspects of patient assessment are difficult to reproduce in current simulators, such as changes in facial expressions. Facial expressions are of particular importance when assessing for the presence and severity of pain in the pediatric population. Inconsistencies found in accurate identification of pain suggest the necessity of improved pain assessment training. This study evaluated nursing student's perceptions of a virtual patient designed to realistically display varying levels of pain in the pediatric patient. Additional purposes of this study were to evaluate the student's ability to accurately rate pediatric pain using a virtual patient with and without other indicators of pain, explore the students experience learning pediatric pain in nursing school, and explore the use of simulation in curriculum to teach pain. A total of N=11 nursing students participated in this study. Students were presented with a series of virtual patient faces and asked to provide a pain rating from 0-10 utilizing a pediatric pain assessment tool, and to numerically list the facial features used to identify the pain rating they chose. A questionnaire was then completed which included questions regarding the realism of the virtual patient, pain and curriculum, and simulation. Results of the study showed students rated pain lower than the expected rating when presented with virtual patient faces only, and rated pain closer to the expected rating when presented with virtual patient faces and other indicators of pain such as vital signs and verbal cues. A noticeable range of reported pain rating levels existed for all virtual faces in which students rated the pain lower or higher than the true pain rating. The majority of students reported the virtual patient was moderately to extremely realistic, and 90.9% (n=10) reported they would like to have the technology implemented into a simulation scenario.

Show moreThe purpose of this thesis is to examine familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and emerging pharmacogenomics therapies that propose to lower serum low density lipid (LDL) levels. The search of various data bases resulted in nine research articles being selected for review. Syntheses of the articles suggest emerging phamacogenomic drug therapy can improve treatment outcomes for individuals with a diagnosis of FH. The Human Genome Project (HGP) has had far reaching applications for genomic technologies and pharmacagenomic interventions, tailored to human conditions associated with select genomic traits. Synthesis of nine research articles demonstrate that little is known on the topic and reveals extensive gaps in the evidence. This thesis concludes with implications for nursing education, practice, policy and research along with limitations are noted.

Show moreThis work examines the relationship between Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy and the nonlinear dynamical systems framework for studying cognition. I argue that the nonlinear dynamical systems approach to cognitive science presupposes many key elements of his process philosophy. The process philosophical interpretation of nature posits events and the dynamic relations between events as the fundamental substrate of reality, as opposed to static physical substances. I present a brief history of the development of substance thought before describing Whitehead's characterization of nature as a process. In following, I will examine the both the computational and nonlinear dynamical systems frameworks for investigating cognition. I will show that the computational paradigm is subject to many of the same criticisms as substance. Conversely, I will show that nonlinear dynamical cognitive science avoids these criticisms and is congenial to Whitehead's philosophy insofar as it is suitable for describing emergent processes. To conclude, I suggest that the nonlinear dynamical cognitive science confirms and validates Whitehead's philosophy. Furthermore, I argue that process philosophy is an appropriate characterization of nature for guiding inquiry in cognitive science.
