NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted

This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Saga track is part one of two celebrating the work of Pamela Jeffries. The podcast discusses Dr. Jeffries' pioneering role in conducting the NLN Laerdal Simulation Study, which explored the benefits of simulation in nursing education and provided a framework for its use. The study, conducted with eight nursing schools, highlighted the effectiveness of high fidelity simulations in enhancing decision-making, problem-solving, and student satisfaction. The NLN Jeffries Simulation Framework, developed from this study, later evolved into a mid-range theory guiding nursing education. Part two will delve into how this framework influenced the first national study on using simulation as a substitute for clinical encounters, further establishing simulation as a transformative tool in nursing education.

This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track features S. Alexander Kemery. The discussion revolves around Dr. Kemery's research on factors influencing faculty decisions to teach LGBTQ content in undergraduate nursing programs. The study utilized the theory of planned behavior to explore attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control among nursing faculty. Findings indicated generally positive attitudes towards LGBTQ content but highlighted barriers such as lack of expertise and resources. Dr. Kemery suggests integrating LGBTQ topics into existing curricula through small changes and utilizing available toolkits to enhance faculty competence and confidence.
