The majority of nurses 77.8% of nurses' knowledge have Moderate, while 11.1% of them have Bad and 11.1% of them have (Good) regarding to overall Assessment of nurses’ knowledge, there are a highly association between education level, and years of experience about management of diabetic Patients undergoing insulin therapy in the emergency department. Conclusion: The study concluded that the highest of nurses’ knowledge items are (Moderate). While (Bad) was the main nurses’ knowledge regarding to store insulin and perform a physical assessment to establish a baseline before beginning therapy. Also there are a highly association between level of education, and years of experience about insulin therapy for diabetic patients in the emergency department and their efficacy of nurses’ knowledge. Recommendations: Increasing the knowledge and awareness of nursing staff concerning insulin therapy for diabetic patients by improving training courses.

Professional Identity in Nursing: The Role of Efficacy in Navigating the Work Environment

A well-established professional identity in nursing (PIN) is considered essential to maximize the health and well-being of the nurse, as well as those for whom they provide care. Professional identity promotes effective decision-making, open communication, and collaborative teamwork leading to job satisfaction, retention, and most importantly safe, high-quality care in a healthy work environment. Given the reciprocality of PIN and the work environment, strategies to increase PIN through strengthening both self (nurse) and collective (team/profession) efficacy of nurses can further improve both the work environment and nurse professional identity at the individual and profession levels.

Developing a Scale to Measure Self-Efficacy on Asthma Teaching for Health Care Providers

Background. A number of educational programs have focused on promoting the knowledge of asthma to health care professionals, but not teaching competency. Increasing the cognition of self-efficacy on patient teaching could enhance the competency in teaching for patients with asthma. However, at present we do not have an appropriate tool to measure self-efficacy on asthma teaching for health care providers. Objectives. The aim of this study was to evaluate construct validity by Factor analysis and investigating dimensionality by Rasch analysis of a self-efficacy on asthma teaching scale (SEATs) among nurses in Taiwan. Participants. A total of 281 nurses from 3 medical centers volunteered to participate and complete the SEATs. Methods. A 20-item SEATs was developed including self-efficacy of general teaching and self-efficacy of specific asthma-related teaching. Instrument reliability and validity are examined by classical testing theory (item analysis, internal consistency, content validity, and construct validity). To examine whether each item in the SEATs fits the unidimensionality in the Rasch model, the Winsteps program was used to assess item difficulty, scale unidimensionality, item separation, and linearity. Results. SEATs has good content validity, internal consistency, and construct validity. Rasch analysis revealed that three items were problematic and need to be re-examined in further study. Conclusion. The first version of SEATs has an acceptable psychometric property to evaluate the asthma teaching efficacy of nurses, although three items were INFIT according to Rasch analysis. A different population of nurses should be recruited to further refine this tool. SEATs could be used as an outcome measure for further program evaluation.

Strategic Directions for Nursing Research in Tobacco Dependence

Tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, causing approximately 440,000 deaths a year. Even with significant progress in the last decades, there are over 45 million smokers in the United States. Despite the efficacy of nurses in providing tobacco cessation interventions, nursing research in this area has been minimal. The purpose of this presentation is to summarize the recommendations for focusing and fostering nursing research in tobacco cessation from 42 researchers, clinicians, educators, and representatives from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and from nursing organizations who attended a 1-day invitational conference. This conference evolved from the work of the Tobacco Free Nurses Initiative in promoting the role of nursing in tobacco control and in response to the recognition of potential contributions to the field from nursing research. Sponsored by AHRQ and the NCI, the conference included formal presentations, and small and large group discussions around tobacco cessation research, resulting in consensus statements about a research agenda. Participants recommended strategies for new approaches in nursing research on tobacco dependence and cessation; strategies for seizing opportunities and confronting challenges in building nursing research in the field; and enhancing utilization of research findings into clinical practice. This agenda provides direction for growing nursing research in tobacco cessation, breaking down barriers to research, and supporting efforts for increasing utilization of evidence-based findings in clinical practice.

Psychiatric Nurses' and Patients' Perceptions of Discussion Topics in Therapeutic Groups

Discussion topics for outpatient group therapy sessions were rated for importance by 84 psychiatric outpatients from 6 therapeutic groups and 26 psychiatric nurses. Topics were measured by scales of personal problems and feelings, lifestyle, response to health care, and nonhealth self-disclosure. No significant differences in importance ratings among therapeutic groups or between nurses and patients were found. Scale rankings were the same among patient groups and between nurses and patients, with personal problems and feelings receiving the highest score. Results support the existence of a common goal implicit among therapeutic groups that is known by nurses and augurs well for group cohesion, behavior in accordance with norms, and the efficacy of nurses as leaders of therapeutic groups.
