Abstract TITLE : A study to assess the effectiveness of almond powder on lactation among postnatal mothers in the Institute of obstetrics and gynecology and hospital for women and children, Chennai. %UHDVWIHHGLQJLVWKHRSWLPDO¿UVWIRRGIRUQHZERUQVLQWHUPVRIKHDOWK outcomes for both mother and child. The amount of milk produced may depends on how often the mother is nursing . It is beneficial to nurse on demand to nurse when the baby wants to nurse rather than a schedule. Galactagogues are substances that increase milk volume by enhancing the rate of milk production and include herbs such as almonds, fenugreek, blessed thistle, and fennel and .medications such as domperidone, metoclopramide. Need for study: A major reason given by mothers for premature cessation of breastfeeding is their perception of insufficient milk supply. Health professionals, have a key role in encouraging the breastfeeding through monitoring from the prenatal to the postpartum, both the pregnant woman, but also the family and community, where everyone can support and encourage breastfeeding. Objectives : x To assess of breast milk inadequacy among postnatal mothers in the control and experimental group. x To assess the breast milk adequacy on lactation among postnatal mothers in experimental and control group after intake of almond powder. x To assess the effectiveness of almond powder on lactation among postnatal mothers by comparing the control and experimental group. x To find out the association between the breast milk adequacy among postnatal mothers with selected variable in the control and experimental group. Key words Postnatal mother, Almond, effectiveness, lactation Methodology: Research approach ± Evaluative approach Research Design - True experimental study design , Sample size - 60 postnatal mothers Sampling technique - Random sampling Study Settings - Postnatal ward at IOG Study Population - Postnatal mothers Tool - modified tool for adequacy of breast milk on lactation. Data collection procedure ± Formal permission was obtained from the Director and Head of the IOG, Chennai. After establishing a good rapport with postnatal mothers, Informed and written consent was obtained. Modified tool for adequacy of breast milk were filled by both experimental and control group. Almonds are .dried , powdered and it was given in the form of 30g powder mixed with the 100ml of milk once a day (Morning 10am) for the consecutive five days. I spent half an hour for every postnatal mother for the intervention. On the 5th day evening breast milk adequacy was evaluated in both the experimental and control group.. Data Analysis : The data were analyzed using descriptive statistic such as Mean .Standard deviation ,Frequency and Percentage and inferential statistic like paired µ7´DQGXQSDLUHG³7´WHVW&KLVTXDUHWHVW Study results : The results revealed that the experimental mothers are having an adequate 86.7% level of breast milk secreation whereas in control group are having 100%. Satisfactory level. Differences between pretest and posttest score was analyzed using proportion with and mean difference. This difference shows the effectiveness of almond powder (p-.000) on increasing the adequacy of breast milk which was statistically significant in the experimental group. Discussion : There is an significant difference in the level of breast milk adequacy on lactation among postnatal mothers. Hence the H1 hypothesis has accepted. Conclusion. The investigator there by concludes that the almond powder has increased adequacy of breast milk secreation among postnatal mothers. Recommendation: A similar study can be conducted by providing almond from the antenatal period to assess the effectiveness on lactation.

  • Electronic Health Record 1
    Running head: ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 1 ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD TEMPLATE CUSTOMIZATION AND THE IMPACT ON NURSING SATISFACTION AND DOCUMENTATION COMPLIANCE by Autumn Nicole Engstrom Diana Shaw Hoopingarner, DNP, MSN, RN, Faculty Mentor and Chair Jocelyn D’Antonio, PhD, RN, Committee Member Kimberly A. Couch, DNP, CNM, FNP-BC, Preceptor Patrick Robinson, PhD, Dean, School of Nursing and Health Sciences A DNP Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Nursing Practice Capella University September 2017 ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 2 Abstract Documentation is a crucial component of safe and effective patient care. A priority for health care organizations is to ensure their electronic health record (EHR) systems are used safely and effectively. They should be clinically operational, user-friendly, and suit the needs of the end user (HealthIT.gov, 2017). If EHR templates do not exist, are not customized to the needs of the user, or are not user-friendly, risks of failing to maintain proper documentation exist (Mosher, Lose, Leslie, Pennathur, & Kaboli, 2015). The purpose of this project was to develop and implement an EHR template for obstetrical and postpartum nurses to document postpartum hemorrhages (PPH) that progress to Stages 2 and 3. A customized template did not exist in the EHR to document this type of event. The template was created using information from the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC, 2015) obstetric hemorrhage emergency management plan checklists. These checklists are evidence-based guidelines and are included in a policy at the project site. Everett Rogers’s diffusion of innovations theory served as the theoretical framework to guide the change.

  • Nursing Education Research Conference 2018 (NERC18)
    Nursing Education Research Conference 2018 (NERC18) Games, Frames, and Decision-Making: A Multimodal Approach to Teaching Delegation to Prelicensure Nursing Students Sharon Hendrix, DNP, FNP-BC Heather Robbins, DNP, MBA, RN Patricia Elizabeth Davies Hall, DNP, APRN, WHNP-C Robingale A. Panepinto, DNP, RN Pre-specialty Program, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, Nashville, TN, USA Background: Responsible delegation is a critical clinical learning outcome for pre-licensure nursing students in most developed countries. Rationale and methods for professionally responsible delegation skills are taught near the end of formal nursing education, as students begin care of multiple patients and when more complex care is required. Teaching delegation skills includes the five rights of delegation, authority of the RN role, developing clinical reasoning skills, and identifying leadership strategies. Millennial nursing students, born after 1980, are comfortable with the use of high level electronic devices as part of their daily learning style that can aid in development of critical thinking. Electronic gaming with pre-programmed questions on nursing delegation roles and responsibility leverages this inherent level of comfort for classroom teaching with a smartphone “App” (application). Faculty guided review of aggregated App responses engages students in active debriefing for clarification and comprehension of duties that can safely be delegated to an unlicensed assistive personnel. Small group learning activities augment lecture content to allow safe decision making practice, and to adopt varying team roles in a simulation setting. Students practice prioritization through clinical simulation and role playing scenarios, develop leadership skills, and build insight through small group exercises. Case-based learning and role play encourages critical thinking that allows students to consider appropriate transfer of care, while retaining nursing authority, as the basis for delegation.

Thus, it is important that nursing students receive comprehensive breastfeeding instruction in their nursing programs to be proficient at assisting new mothers during clinical rotations or upon graduation. According to researchers, however, nursing schools have failed to adequately train students in breastfeeding education, citing students’ knowledge deficits as one of their concerns. At Sacramento State University’s School of Nursing, third- semester undergraduate nursing students are taught breastfeeding content in obstetrical nursing lecture and must complete 45 hours of related clinical experience. A student survey revealed that very few of them were completely satisfied with the breastfeeding instruction they had received. In addition, nearly 40% of those who had not yet completed their clinical rotation stated that they felt “insecure” to only “somewhat confident” in their ability to educate breastfeeding mothers.
